2.0 of 5 stars. I would like to join in affirming Tux's review of 8/30/09. I visited on a Sunday morning about 11:30 AM, and my $10.99 baby back ribs were dry, with very little sauce. They may not have been prepared...

2.0 of 5 stars. While we were in the Virginia area on vacation, we decided to check this place out. All of us like BBQ of some sort, and the Prime Rib on the menu (http://www.thesmokeypig.com/dining%20menu.html)...

Yelp.com Review - by Ryan C.

4.0 of 5 stars. The Smokey Pig has some of the best BBQ in Virginia and its also just about a mile off of 95 if you are hungry and/or stuck in traffic. The pulled pork sandwiches, thick cut onion rings, baked...

Best BBQ in VA

If you are looking for out of this world ribs and BBQ, look no further than "The Pig". Whether you prefer North Carolina style BBQ (vinegar based) or regular BBQ (tomato based) they have the sauce to suit you....

Best BBQ in Ashland

The Smokey Pig was a great choice for me and Matt Lauer. Every time he is in town he makes a special trip to dine at The Pig. He has mentioned this casual dining on his show and stopped by a couple of weeks...

2.0 of 5 stars. First off, I'm a BBQ snob. I smoke my own at home and eat 'que all over the country. I had a full rack of the baby backs my rep had the pulled pork. First off, the hush puppies were good. That's...

4.0 of 5 stars. The Smokey Pig is definitely a great place for barbecue in central Virginia. The service is great and the food really hits the spot. I think this is one of the first places we went to when we moved to...

After 25 years, the locals have abandon them, the over quality is on a decline and the prices are up.. They still pull in folks from all over the east coast making they yearly trek up and down I-95.

The PIG was the BBQ Place in the past, but the competion is pretty stiff, so they need to Beef or Pork up their game if they want to hold on for another 25 years

4.0 of 5 stars. If you ever find yourself in Ashland, Virginia, then you have to make a stop at this local BBQ place. The food is great! The wait staff has been there a long time, so one gets the proper treatment...

Well, the atmosphere was ok....

The food was sub par for all of the hype. I had the BBQ, which was dry and bland. If you want incredible food, this is not the restaurant for you. The service was good and it is a good place to take kids. The...

"The Pig Place"

As a local resident, I visit the Smokey Pig quite often, and therefore can safely attest that their food is quite delectable, despite the apparent dissent of some. Perhaps this is the result of people from...

I dont know if there were more pigs on the BBQ or out in the dining room eating. It must be an aquired taste because we did not enjoy any of the food. The service was nothing spectacular either. It felt like...

Don't Bother

If it's a BBQ place, then the primary menu item should be....BBQ. Try the hamburger...much better than the BBQ.

Best HushPuppies around !

Wonderful hush puppies...... Thats about it . Barbeque is dry and uneventful . The sides are of the canned variety . The masses are fooled . It is standing room only at lunchtime . Then again it's ashland ,Va.

This place was a disappointment. The vegetables were generic and the barbecue was pretty tasteless. I took two friends who had never had barbecue before and had to apologize when Smokey Pig didn't live up to...
