My spear ribs were prefectly smoked and tasted awesome. Brisket was OK.
I found the menu pricing to be on the high side for Gainesville. With the low overhead of self service and low maintenance interioer design I wasn't expecting the cost.
The spare ribs were worth the price but the Brisket sandwich was lacking. My sides of Fries,Baked Beans, and cole slaw, was mediocre. Staff was very polite. Lunch for two, Brisket Sandwich with fries, Five ribs bones and two small sides and a sweet tea, $48. If you want great smoked ribs I highly recommend The inked Pig, the other menu items I mentioned above, do not compare.

I'm always on the hunt for BBQ that makes it worth coming back. The inked pig bbq grabbed my attention and kept it. The atmosphere is all chickens and skull candies beside skeletons and s Christmas tree. The BBQ was a perfect balance of smokey juicy goodness. My bacon slices added a beautiful crunch to my sandwich. If recommend you stop in here if you are in the area. It's with the bite.

This pulled pork mac (Train Wreck as listed on the menu) was very well balanced flavor wise. The pork immaculate and sauce fairly tame and complemented the meat well. No element stood out to much and the jalapeños poked our at the very end.
The atmosphere for me was spooky and jovial (came in december) .
Decently worth a stop in.

Pork was excellent, so were sides.. collards and Brunswick stew.. only complaint: placing your order at counter. Stood in line 15 minutes waiting to order. Speed it up.
