| - My wife and I were planning to eat at Texas Roadhouse, but we decided to try Piggly's instead. The restaurant was clean and got my mouth watering with the smell of smoked meats.
It wasn't apparent whether we should seat ourselves or if we would be seated, nor was it immediately obvious that we'd need to order at the counter.
My wife ordered the smoked chopped chicken sandwich, and I ordered the two meat platter with pulled pork and lean brisket. We were treated to some complimentary corn bread, which was fantastic. Our food was ready in a reasonable amount of time.
My wife's chicken sandwich was great. The portion was generous, and the chicken was tender and bursting with tangy, smoky flavor.
I was disappointed by both the pulled pork and the lean brisket. The pork was on the dry side, and lacked the aromatic, smoky flavor of good pulled pork. Likewise, the lean brisket was more reminiscent of a bland roast beef. It was chewy, and almost flavorless.
The staff was nice, and it seemed like a cool place, but the food quality needs improvement.
