2010: A man in a pig costume welcomed customers to the parking lot. All the way in the back was the storefront of Porkies. Service was friendly in this cash only joint, and I walked out with a heap of food for a small price.
The sides were a bit bland, but to their credit, they hadn't added a ton of fat or sugar to the greens and beans. The meats were also nothing special. Brisket was dense and a bit chewy. The gray meat had little crust and no smokiness. There was little flavor at all, but a dip into their spicy sauce helped things a bit. Ribs had more flavor from a nice peppery rub, but this meat also lacked smokiness. The texture of the meat was pleasing, but the overall flavor was just lacking. Maybe the chopped beef sandwiches advertised on the sign held by that the pig costumed man were the way to go.
