The Inked Pig Bbq - Gainesville

We had excellent service with cold, bubbly drinks. But the positives pretty much end there. (Scroll to bottom for TL;DR). Mediocre food at high prices. Me my partner had been craving good BBQ all week. After reading the reviews here, I thought for sure this would be good BBQ.My partner got a BBQ sandwich with chips and a side of ribs myself, a pick one plate with pulled pork, baked beans Brunswick stew. The total was $51!! I was completely taken aback by the price but inside just outside the restaurant smelled phenomenal so I had high hopes.When our buzzer went off to go get our food, I was concerned by the look of it. The $8 side of ribs is just 2 small spare ribs with bone fragments throughout. The sandwich meal with chips was $15 as it is was not proportional or fresh enough to justify the price paired with a small bag of Ms Vicki 's chips. The pulled pork was more fat than meat incredibly greasy. The baked beans had the appearance of chili even tasted like chili- VERY disappointing. The Brunswick Stew tasted just like the baked beans but had a thinner consistency, also primarily oil.However, the MOST DISAPPOINTING thing was the BBQ sauce. It had the consistency of Hot Sauce didn 't take on any of the traditional BBQ sauce looks or flavors. I was overwhelmed with the flavor of vinegar not much else. Instead of adding rich flavor to the meat, it made the sandwich a soggy, oily mess. The pulled pork plate was not appetizing at all with the fat, grease vinegar marinating on the deli paper. I could not have been more disappointed with a BBQ restaurant.PARKING- It 's very difficult to find good parking here not because they were busy. They are located in the heart of the industrial area with dilapidated roads parking lots, many rough train tracks. The walk wasn 't bad, but could be difficult for handicapable BBQ lovers to visit.PROS:-Cold drinks-Friendly StaffCONS-Very expensive food, small portions (Lunch portions, approx $25 per person)-BBQ sauce is runny-Baked Beans seasoning consistency off-Brunswick stew too greasy not seasoned well.Parking: Few spots shared with local business. Dilapidated roads lotsWheelchair accessibility: Difficult, but not impossible

Fantastic BBQ!! I have patronized Inked Pig since the day I found them. What's not to love from the simple but wonderfully executed Menu and to die for weekly specials? To this day one of the best Modern takes on BBQ I have and will continue to experience.

Awesome food and great service. I've eaten here a few times with coworkers when I come town. I've tried almost everything on the menu but I always check the daily specials board and have never been disappointed. Delicious food, good atmosphere and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it to all BBQ lovers.

Nice home town atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good barbecue. A little bit on the pricy side. I would not recommend lunch here every day if your on a budget. Chicken and 2 sides just under $18, one person. There are cheaper things on their menu if you so choose. Overall a nice little place for barbecue.

The Inked Pig has never let me down. Great food and service. Fried okra is my favorite!
