If you are busy shopping and you run across a Pig n Chick, you are in luck. It is a great place to grab a quick bite, for a good price. They look like a chain but have done a good job and spicing up the atmosphere. There pork, beef and ribs were all good and pretty tender. They also have a good variety of sauces, KC, Mustard and Carolina vinegar.
For an appetizer you can try the Red Neck Nachos. Fries covered with Pork and Melted cheese. It was sounded great but could use more cheese and some sort of sauce. The stew was on the soupy side but still tasty.
Pig n Chick may not be the best BBQ around, but it is great for the price. Some locations even deliver…

Comments: To date, this is the best BBQ I have had from a place that is in a shopping center. Well priced. Lots of wall decorations that you expect from a BBQ joint. It was just kinda too small to have a great atmosphere though. I started with the redneck nachos (pulled pork, over fries and cheese). The cheese was just shredded cheese sprinkled on, it wasn’t melted at all. I wasn't too impressed by this starter, although it is a great idea. The ribs and pulled pork were extremely tender. The ribs were moderately tasty. The pulled pork had a nice smoked flavor, I would go back for the pulled pork alone. The stew was pretty good. Their sauce was a choice of regular, mustard or spicy. The regular and mustard together was excellent, not so much on the spicy. Overall, I would say diffidently stop by when you are craving some good BBQ without the time to travel for the best.

Comments: When you walk into Pig n Chick, it looks a little like a chain but they do a good job decorating. The Beef is very tender but it did not have too much smoke flavor. Same goes for the ribs. They fell right off the bone but weren’t very smoky.
We went with the Redneck nachos to start with. Fries, topped with pork and melted cheese. The pork was on top of the fries and the cheese was just slightly melted. It was good but the ingredients did not seem to blend together. The Brunswick stew is a little soupy but pretty tasty. The mac & cheese was cafeteria style, nothing too special. They had three sauces on the table; KC style, Carolina Mustard and Carolina Spicy Vinegar. All three were pretty good.
For the price, Pig n Chick is great. Good, fast BBQ, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Comments:
The shopping center does take a little bit away from the restaurant, but its got a good feel from the inside. The ribs are nice and tender and the pork is solid. I wouldn't say anything was great, but I also wouldn’t say anything was bad. Overall its a decent place to go and I would definitely return, but its nothing to write home about.
