The perks of this place? First off, the amusing and entertaining name of the joint. Add to that a primo location with lots of people watching and places to go after dinner. Plus, the BBQ is pretty damn good. All this makes for a pretty positive evening in my book.
We ordered the family platter so that we could try the ribs and brisket as well as three sides. We knew it would be a lot of food but we like to plan ahead for leftover meals. We went with our Southern favorites of mac and cheese, cheese grits and sweet potato fries. The fries were delicious and the mac & cheese was good enough that we finished the entire bowl with no leftovers to take home. The grits were good but were the watery kind of grits when we're used to the thicker kind of grits served at Roscoe's or Lucille's. The service was great with an attentive yet not overbearing server.
Overall, dinner at The Notorious P.I.G. was entertaining and I wouldn't mind going back to amuse our friends and family or if we're in the area. If I am truly craving Southern food and BBQ though I will probably try heading to Lucille's first.
