Pig Candy BBQ

Semper Fi 4 months ago

I saw a post about this BBQ place on Facebook and people were raving about it. I had to try it out. I get there and there is no wheelchair accessible parking. The businesses next door has it, but Pig Candy BBQ doesn't. I had to park in the gravel and on the edge of the street to get my wheelchair out. I worked up an appetite going up the hill and then the ramp, which starts in the front, facing Kellogg Ave. My wheelchair barely fit through the doorway and I have a 22" chair. Once inside, I was greeted by very cheerful employees! They were very accommodating! To top it off, the BBQ was excellent! I had the pulled pork and brisket for my other meat. The Cowboy Beans were excellent! I will be coming back! The trip back to my truck on a full belly was fun! It was all down hill and it was like a ride at Kings Island! 🤣 If you have a wheelchair bigger than a 22" seat, I would suggest you call the business and get them to serve you in their beautiful patio or have someone to help you. It will be worth the trouble! The food is excellent and so is the service!

Cool, cozy atmosphere. Service was nice and helpful. We had high expectations for the food, and it was okay. The brisket was very tender, the pulled pork was okay nothing too special. I personally wasn’t a fan of the mac&cheese as it was too liquidy for my liking but some might enjoy that consistency more. I also agree with others that the menu feels a bit limited but they still have the necessities

This might be the best pulled pork sandwich I’ve had in Cincy. Both sauces (Alabama white and Carolina Gold) were great representations of their style… pork was smoky, juicy, and had crispy edges, and the toasted bun brought it home. Space is tight but they took advantage of the space they have with a good table layout. Staff were super friendly, and the meal was great. I wanted more from the mac n cheese to be honest, but it won’t keep me from coming back here. I’d eat that sandwich every day if my cholesterol allowed it.

Stopped after hitting the golf simulator down at another 9. Highly recommend for a quick lunch spot or if you are trying to show someone about Cincinnati's various BBQ places. The pulled pork sandwich was so good that I forgot to put any sauce on it. The golf sauce was a great addition and the white sauce had a nice little bite to it. The biscuit sandwich was something I'll be thinking about for a while. Succulent, seasoned, just some of the best meat I've ever put in my mouth, no homo. Was my first time here and will not be my last. Enjoyed with a side of Mac and Cheese and cheddar grits. Looking forward to trying the briscuit potato and buffalo chicken dip next time I go. Quality of the buns was top notch. The guy at the counter was super personable and gave us great recommendations. Also don't forget to get the banana pudding. Wow what a dessert.

The good: -Briskett was phenomenal. Very moist and didn't even need sauce, though the "red" sauce was very good with it. -Mac and cheese was one of the best I have had. My wife kept stealing bites. -My wife enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich. -Cornbread was solid, but slightly dry. -Very good sized portions. -Good value. The bad: Very short list here- -My wife commented the macaroni salad was not great. Was a little tangy, and not in a good way. -While my wife found the pulled pork to be very good, I tried a bite and definitely wasn't a fan, so you will have to try it for yourself as a tie breaker. Service was as good as it gets. A young woman and man who were there today were actually friendly and helpful - quite the rarity today to find people that work in a service industry and are this nice and genuine. Very nice job. We are fans. Five stars
