Pig Rig Bbq - Milldale

I find the food at most barbecue joints in Connecticut a little greasy, a little messy, a little flavour shy. Not this place it's in a big shopping, plaza and hidden from the street a little, but make sure you stop by. The burnt ribs were unreal, so good.! My favourite side were their baked beans, which are like another entree unto itself!

Been meaning to try this place for a while but kept forgetting about it because it is situated just slightly away from Rt. 5 so I never drive by it.The people there were very welcoming from the time we walked in until the time we left so the service was a solid 5. I had a pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mac cheese. Pork was excellent and the Mac cheese was delicious as it had pieces of pork and bacon. My meal should have come with only one side but they also gave me baked beans...I like beans but don't normally get excited to eat them but these were fantastic!My husband had the 3 meat combo with ribs, chicken and brisket which he enjoyed. I had a bite of his brisket and definitely will get that next time. A lot of customers were picking up take out but they have a decent sized dining area with booths and tables (you order at the register and they bring it to your table). I thought the prices were very reasonable given how high inflation has been the past 2+ years. Highly recommend. Will be back!

Pretty good food when you are in the mood for a BBQ fix. Clean, fresh and delicious food. You wont be disappointed.

Usually don 't travel through Wallingford, but I was really craving some BBQ and I 'm not a huge fan of Mission. Thought I would stop by PigRig for a quick bite, and I 'm glad I did. I 'm big on Rock 'N Roll, and the place was filled with cool memorabilia. Menu was big, so I asked the young lady up front what she recommended, and she told me to get some Pork, Burnt ends, Potato salad, and Grits w/ Jam. Food came out quick, and everything tasted great.Would definitely come here again and bring the family. The young girl made good conversation and was friendly, and the other staff were welcoming and helpful.

Though I don't work near this place anymore I happened to be driving by yesterday so as I usually do, I made a stop in. Pig Rig is still serving up the same great BBQ and very little has changed since the first visit I made almost 9 years ago (and dozens of times since).Staff, as always, are great and it looked like they've added a few people. I knew they opened the dining room space next door but was surprised to see it renovated with a modern/sleek/casual feel. Bottles of sauce sit at all the tables and booths along with the other BBQ essential, napkins :)While it looks like it's still a work-in-progress it is going to the next level. Can't wait to stop in for a sit-down meal of some of the best BBQ around. Like Dan (the owner) has always said, this place is about smoked meat and killer sides. 5 stars!
