First, sign up for the Pig Club. I did, and get a free Feast right off the bat. If there's a big wait, see if there are seats in the bar. I've always got right in that way.

This is a chain but the BBQ sauce is very good (several varieties). The sandwiches are not piled as high as some others (Hoggs, Enzo's) but the sauces are competitive.
