Pig Rig BBQ - Wallingford CT
950 Yale Ave (Yale Plaza) | Wallingford, CT 06492 | (203) 265-0765
Located in Yale Plaza one would not expect spectacular BBQ but you would be completely wrong. Entering the small dining area you're immediately hit with the smell of meats smoking. The menu has many options from sandwiches, platters and full racks of ribs. Meats include chicken, pulled port, brisket and baby back ribs. The staff is friendly and helpful and the owner recounted their history from a small mobile smoke truck that was parked in front of Chef's on Rt 5. They sold the truck and moved in to this place just about 2 years ago. My wife and I ordered the 2 meat platter. We chose pulled pork and baby back ribs. The smoke on the meat and bbq sauce was exceptional. Our sides included smoked mac and cheese and a piece of corn bread. I also ordered a side of collard greens where were tender and tasty. My parents got the 3 meat combo of brisket, chicken and baby backs. My mother is by no means a meat-asaurus nor a BBQ fan but she was even stunned by the quality. The brisket was to die for and the sauce selection was very nice. I've dined at some of the other big BBQ places in CT and this place can match them step for step. If you're in the area you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to stop here.
