| - First time at Pig and Pickle. Arrived around 4:30 PM on a Saturday and there were only about a dozen there. There were a lot of sports events going on locally.
We were promptly seated by the overdressed hostess and offered menus and water. Thomas greeted us shortly after to offer drinks.
For food we got a charcuterie plate and a side salad to start. Since it was happy hour, the salad was upgraded to a Dump Truck Salad. For the charcuterie meats it had: chorizo, salami, pork belly terrine, smoked salmon and tazzo ham. For pickled veggies: okra, green beans, pickles, grapes, onions and eggs. It also had house made: mustard, bacon jam, sourdough bread (not very sour) , apricot spread and butter. The plate was outstanding, with kudos to the pork belly terrine plus the pickles.
For entrées, we ordered 'The Nancy', a cheddar bacon burger, a bowl of Mussels and the Shrimp and Grits. Everyone raved about their meal. For me, the shrimp were good, plus it had lots of chorizo slices and the grits were killer. Cheesy, thick, buttery, good spice and a flavorful broth. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. All in all, along with Thomas's excellent service, a perfect meal.
