In all honesty, when my wife and I talk about going out for barbeque, my default location is Mark's Feedstore. In fact, it is one of my top 5 picks whenever we talk about going out for dinner period. That being said, the planets aligned perfectly tonight and we decided to take a chance on Pig City Bar-B-Que in Middletown. (Ok, we had a discount card).
First of all, Pig City gets bonus points just for having patio dining. I enjoy sitting outside when the weather is nice and tonight it was about 80 degrees with a slight breeze. Perfect. Not to mention, the kids don't have to be quite as disciplined. This takes a lot of stress of of them, us, and any nearby diners:) As an additional bonus, they had a live band. We were only able to see a few minutes of the performance as I had to go show homes, but it seemed like I would have enjoyed sitting there for some time.
Second and perhaps most importantly, the food was great. I ordered the pork chop dinner and was impressed to receive an almost 1" thick pork chop that was perfectly cooked. My wife had pulled pork and said it was very good as well. I sampled each of the 4 sauces they offered and settled on the Kansas City style. By the way, the Texas Hot is in a rather unassuming bottle, but really delivers some heat. I recommend not pouring copious amounts on a portion of your meal without a) sampliing it first and b) having a drink handy.
Third, it is very affordable. Most menu selections run between $7-$12. Tuesday night happens to be Kids Eat Free night and with the above mentioned discount card, the four of us ate for $20 with tax and tip! I can barely get out of McDonalds for that price.
So next time you are at Mark's and the line is out the door, head over to Pig City and check out their offering.
