My son and I visited last night, our first time, and after reading the reviews, it seemed like a safe bet. We are both hard core BBQ enthusiasts, and were glad Lakewood had a highly rated place. The service, cafeteria style-common with many southern BBQ places-was good. I had a two meat combo platter, with pulled pork (surprisingly good) and brisket (40% fat & meh). I had beans as my side which were also good. My son had a half rack of ribs and bacon on a stick, both of which seemed pretty good to him. We loved the sauce on the table as well. We ate our meals and left, only to suffer "stomach issues" that lasted several hours, and we both complained of a nasty after-taste that lasted even longer. We're going to forget about Proper Pig, and at this point, gladly so.
