Porky's is the place to go if you're craving comfort food that's savory, satisfying, and welcoming. Both the food and the service were excellent when I visited for a lunch. I got the Pepper Jack Cheese Sticks as an appetizer, and they were amazing. The BBQ ranch and cotija cheese enhanced the flavor even further--crispy, cheesy, and utterly delicious--while the sweet hot BBQ seasoning gave a special bite. I ordered the Chicken Tender Basket for my entrée, which includes Texas toast, a side of fries, and five tenders that are delightfully crispy. The tenders had just the right amount of crunch on the outside and moist on the inside, making them the perfect combination for a traditional chicken tender dinner! My favorite dipping sauce is their zesty ranch, but for added variation, they also have buffalo sauce and honey mustard. Everyone was kind, considerate, and made sure I had everything I needed, which made for excellent service. It's a terrific place to eat in or get takeaway because of its relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Porky's is a hidden treasure that merits greater recognition. You must try this place if you enjoy delicious food, welcoming service, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere!

Great service. Cheese sticks are the bomb and we got some before they ran out. Pork was great. Always love thier greens beans. Sauce is good. Good tea. No complaints. Good place to watch basketball too.

Great find while traveling through Alabama! I had the Porky and it was excellent. Service was very good and quick. Good atmosphere. Sweet tea was spot on.

Food is excellent with a nice selection for a variety of tastes. Service is spot on as Mary Beth trains them right. Small place but has that hometown feel.

This place was a welcome stop on our trip back to Indiana from Gulf Shores. The food was so very good! We loved that they had two coleslaw options--my husband loves vinegar and I love creamy. The mac and cheese was delicious, and their red BQ sauce was a great balance. They also have a more vinegary sauce that my husband really liked. The guy waiting on us did an amazing job during peak lunch rush on Sunday. He was patient and kind, and was hustling to take care of people. We way prefer a place like this to anything found in a shopping center. Be aware the inside area is a little limited for rush--maybe 15-20 tables? They do have 3-4 tables that can seat 6-8 each, and I think the rest were 4-seaters. But they also have a bar-type seating that accommodates people as well. We're always hunting for good BBQ down here and I'm so glad to add this to our list of must-stops!

GRATE JOB! Saw this food truck at the Taco Fest yesterday at Sloss Furnaces. Was really excited to try some bbq tacos. It's definitely a mom and pop shop/truck. It was an elder woman and what look like her son working the truck. The woman was super sweet and gentle with all of her customers and the young man was making all of the food. On the menu for the day there was a brisket or a pork taco. Courtney and I both settled for the pork tacos and they were outstanding. Filled with vegetables and tons of flavor. I would be excited to come inside and try the actual brick and mortar. But I am sure it is just and friendly and welcoming as the food truck was!

When I am in charge of outings, it is my mission to find the best local place around. I've been twice recently: once before a day at Rickwood Caverns, and more recently as a lunch break in the area. I don't think there was anything that didn't get great reviews. This is *NOT* just your typical pulled pork on a bun BBQ place. Can't think of a better way to say it other than "elevated." It really is a smokehouse as all their menu items are built on meats they've smoked and imagined into everything you love. I got the Philly, and it was such a treat! Super tender meat, and a great bun. Looked like it would be crunchy/dense, but it was soft and squishy and oh-so-good. Their fries are peppered so forwarning if that's not your thing. The Reuben came on a great marble rye. Again, their own smoked meats made this a sandwich I didn't offer to share even though others at the table were sampling and sharing and passing things around. Nope, all mine. The Porky was ginormous. My college student has recently taken an affinity to lots of extra sauces and flavors on his sandwiches, and this certainly fit the bill. It had four different meats, slaw, and sauce. Quite the show stopper. The side of mac and cheese had extra shredded on top. There probably is not a single thing on the menu that isn't a good choice. So if you have the opportunity to go, do. If you see their food truck, stop. And if you hear that they are catering an event, know that your hosts must love you.
