Ribs were very fatty and unedible! All sides were obviously from a can, and premade! Very disappointed that this restaurant even made a top BBQ restaurant in south. Who ranked that??!! more

Although we had stopped at the GA Pig annually for many years, it had been 3-4 years since our last visit. It was at best mediocre. In the past, the pork was so flavorful sauce wasn't necessary. We had both pork and beef BBQ. The meat came smothered in a very sweet ketchup-like sauce. The beef was full of gristle.... more

Yep, it’s a run down looking wooden shack on the side of the road, just off the highway, with good BBQ and great Brunswick stew. My only complaint is it is a bit pricey. In a region famous for BBQ shacks, the GA Pig ranks only average. more

We loved the GA Pig. The food, atmosphere and the service were excellent. This is a must eat for anyone in the Brunswick area. This restaurant is a little shake but this adds to the atmosphere in my opinion. We loved it. more

Enjoyed the bbq sandwich, potato salad and ribs. The tea was sweet and refreshing. It's located in an old historic wooden building within eye shot of I-95. more

I tried to stop on my way north on I-95 but they don't open until 11:00 AM - darn! I did stop on my return trip and got two pulled pork sandwiches to go. They come on a nice big bun and are cut in half. Sauce is good and not overpowering. The beans were ok, and slaw just ok.... more

Boy, this place has gone down hill over the years. Its not the GA pig from years past. Smokey and full of flies. I dont know why BBQ places in Brunswick Ga, think the pit needs to be part of the restaurant. BBQ was just OK. They need to filter some of the sulfur out of the water. Honestly, we... more

The GA Pig is the portal to authentic southern BBQ . If you put it in the middle of nowhere on some dirt road, you’d swear pulled pork was invented there. Luckily, it’s only a hop off I-95. First and foremost, it has the atmosphere of an honest barbeque joint. From the picnic tables and wood piles outside to the... more

The GA Pig is over 750 miles from where I live and I have it on a memory button on my GPS. A few years ago my wife and I did a long road trip to find such BBQ and stopped at around 30 BBQ joints. The GA Pig is the best, and the best by far. Yes I know... more
