$5 Happy Hour beer brought us in. The pulled pork and mac and cheese were good. I didn’t like the fried pickles – maybe if they had a different breading. Check your receipt to make sure you get the happy hour prices!

Mmm lil piggy’s is so good! Perfect lunch spot after the ferry or bike around the island. Everything we got was so good. Would recommend the corn fritters, brisket and ribs 10/10.

Stopped by because I was waiting on the ferry. I got the pork sliders because they were half off. The staff is super friendly. The barbecue was ok but wouldn’t compare it to Memphis. Not bad for Coronado. I will come back and try more. The atmosphere is super chill. I love supporting local businesses

Check it out. I’ve been to barbeque places all over the South and in the States that are known for their barbeque.

So it might’ve just been the time I went so I won’t knock ‘em for it but I had the brisket platter. The brisket seemed a little over cooked and the Mac n cheese was bland. I would recommend throwing some Cajun up in there. However, the portion of brisket was pretty good. Filled me up. Staff was also very attentive and polite. I’ll be there again, and give them another shot.

Place was surprisingly delicious. Meat comes right off the bone. Atmosphere was nice as well.

Dear Friends, The grilled cheese bar-b-q sandwich was the best food! It’s the kind of experience that at first bite you’re lost in the flavor. Please, make the commitment to be a Lil Piggy’s patron.

Been here a few times, but its been a while. I tried the market samper. The brisket and beans were the highlight. The ribs are good ,chicken a lil dry and the white bread was hardening I didn’t like the potato salad. They carry a lot of different beers (I don’t drink beer) and they don’t have wifi which it seems a lot of people were looking for.

Wow… what a horrible place to eat! Food was cold, some over cooked some under cooked, dry, not flavorful.. dry toast served with cold ribs, cold corn on the cob and cold chicken… the Mac and cheese was ok, but I make way better at home… and I spent $80 including tip… I promise, i will not be back, simply horrible food.

This Memphis style bbq was delicious. Great beer selection to go with your pulled pork. Employees were super friendly and helpful. BBQ was on point, they had a few different selections. Of course I used them all!
