Their billboards advertise a buffet but when you get there it doesn't start until 4:00 pm. Limited sit down menu. Noisy atmosphere. Food was mediocre at best. Ribs were cold almost like they just came out of the refrigerator. Coleslaw was like it came out of a container. Service was almost like we were keeping the server from getting off for the afternoon. Not likely to return

My friend and I decided to explore Kinston, North Carolinaâs civil war history. Before we began exploring, we decided we needed some lunch. The Whiskey Pig had been recommended to us and is across the street from the full-scale replica of the CSS Neuse, a civil war âIronsideâ. The cozy place was busy as the Kinston Christmas parade had just ended. The menu changes often as we witnessed two items being crossed off the menu as we waited to order! I ordered the Texas barbecue brisket sandwich and tallow fries. I had not heard of tallow fries before but they are conventional fries fried in beef tallow. They had a just a hint of beef flavor and came out piping hot. The sandwich was piled high with meat and had a delicious sweet tomato based sauce on top. A small cup of cream style cole slaw and a few dill pickle slices completed the meal. Everything was delicious! I appreciated the break from vinegar based barbecue sauces! The prices are reasonable as the âcombosâ include a drink.The shop is also a butcher shop and has a wide selection of beef, pork and chicken to choose from. Weâve been told that the meats are very high quality. Very friendly service!

I wasn't super hungry when we stopped at King's after a Down East Wood Ducks game,but the rest of my group was,so I ordered a pork sandwich that was tremendous.I ordered potato salad and got french fries,but didn't return them with time constraints.The cashier/cook staff were nice,although the rest room wasn't great.Booths were small and very 1970's,but very clean.Sandwich excellent,I'd return to try something else and see if the issues improved.
