I got a half rack of ribs. To me the true test of ribs is how they taste without sauce. I got the Carolina sauce and never tried it. The ribs were so tender and flavorful they didn’t need sauce.
The big negative was a 10% charge for to go orders. It’s getting tiresome having places shift their cost of doing business to the customer. Will not come back due to the surcharge. There are really good BBQ places out there that don’t pull this garbage.

Should you go here? I mean does a pig 🐖 go oink?! (Pun intended) If you are missing your grandmother, she is probably in the kitchen here making her famous collard greens. The ribs are so good we couldn't even taste them because they ran out not once but twice. But the brisket definitely delivered!!! Thanks Alyssa and Andrew for a wonderful lunch experience!

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.
