The BBQ was delicious, the staff was friendly and the sauces were great. I wanted a good ole southern BBQ on the 4th of July, I am glad I went there. Good job guys. Keep up the good work.

Always a must when we visit the OBX. Service is super quick for dine in or take out. For dine in you place an order & take a seat & they bring it to you. There is a self serv station for extra sauces to try different flavors. Ribs are fall off the bone and the sides are delicious (slaw, beans and hush puppies)! We called from 5 mins away & the order was ready when we arrived. They have plenty of merchandise to purchase as well as bottles of sauce to take home. The local guide books also have a 10% off coupon you can use. This place is a must try for sure! They are located at a traffic light so getting in and out is pretty easy.

Took a family trip to Kitty Hawk this Memorial Day weekend. We did a lot of walking, so around dinner time we got pretty hungry. My son Googled what North Carolinaers eat, and BBQ was the top response based on his search. Then we googled, which was the best BBQ place in the Outer Banks, and Pigman's got the most stars. I am a big guy on polite, and the folks here were quite hospitable to us hungry New Yorkers. We felt welcome both as we entered and as we departed. The food was delicious . I loved their sauce station.

Pigman BBQ has quickly become a family favorite of ours! The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service comes with that unmistakable southern charm. We ordered a meal for our family of 7, and it was ready for pickup in just 10 minutes. In a wonderful display of attentiveness, the cashier even ran out to the parking lot with our receipt when we accidentally left without it. The food itself is everything you want from a BBQ joint. Their NC-style vinegar-based BBQ sauce is a standout—tangy and bold—but they also offer a variety of other bases if you’re craving something more traditional. The sides are just as delicious as the mains! Creamy mac & cheese, hush puppies with honey butter, cole slaw, and baked beans—all perfectly complementing the slow-cooked, brined-to-perfection meats. Every bite was packed with flavor and juiciness. Dine in and order at the counter or carry out - can’t go wrong with either. T-shirts and goods to purchase in house.

This was our first time here. We ordered online and brought it home. We had the Tuna-Q Boat (delicious!), The Beef BBQ plate (the brisket was wonderful), and the 2 Meat Plate (steak & pork) fantastic! Ask for extra BBQ sauce if ordering to-go, as it soaks into the buns. The Hush Puppies were fabulous! Dipping them in the whipped honey made them even more delicious! Absolutely try the corn bread! The order was ready in 15 minutes! The service was terrific! Very polite, friendly, and ready with a welcoming smile! It's definitely a future go-to place on our subsequent visits to OBX!

A1! Best bbq we’ve ever had. When we walked in we were on the only guests. No longer than 20 minutes later the entire space was packed. There was little to no wait on the food. Meaning we were still getting our sauce and our food was out and ready. The service was great. Everyone working there was super friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they eat the food there and actually love it. The sauce selection was top notch and all very delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything. We ordered the turkey que sandwich plate, beef brisket plate and the mac and cheese, potato salad and greens. No complaints outside of how full we were and the amount of left overs we had to take home.

Atmosphere was inviting Customer service was excellent I loved the Sauce bar very good idea. BBQ sauce was definitely good. We ordered the 2 meat plate with a side of pulled beef and burnswick stew. The beef and burnswick stew was amazing, The pulled pork was good had a nice flavor I liked the vinegar base on it, the baked beans nothing to brag about seemed to me straight out the can with some BBq sauce added the coleslaw was decent. The hush puppies was cold and stuck together. The ribs....... My 1/2 slab was good the flavor was good they were nice and tender, my husband 1/2 slab was mostly fat they did give him another 1/2 which was way better. Coming from my husband who owns a BBQ restaurant we take the fat cap off to keep from having that issue but other then that the food was really good.
