Pig’N A Poke

Great, convenient, and quick BBQ stop. I highly recommend the pulled chicken as well as pork. Easy for catering a party or stopping in to eat. Their coleslaw is also very good. Stop by for delicious and fresh BBQ!

The hubs and I were in the area, and we saw Pig’N A Poke as we were driving on Baltimore Blvd — we did a U-​turn as we just had to check this place out — I’m so glad that we did! :D This family-​owned BBQ place offers a lunch and dinner menu, featuring items such as pit beef/​ham/​pork/​turkey, pork/​beef BBQ, BBQ chicken, hot dogs, burgers, ribs, rib eye sandwich, sliders, crab cakes, grilled cheeses, and various sides. We tried the Pit Beef sandwich (extremely generous amount of sliced pit beef on a roll — you can add mayo, horseradish, sauce, etc.; we opted for mayo and a side of horseradish and BBQ sauce), and a ½ a rack of baby back ribs (rubbed and slow-​smoked, these were slightly fatty, but super juicy and tasty). I just wished they had a sweeter, Memphis-​style BBQ sauce, as Pig’N A Poke’s version reminded me more of a sweet & sour glaze sauce. For sides, we tried the pasta salad (delicious and mayo-​y!), mac & cheese (this was just okay), and french fries (crispy, lightly salted, and yummy!). Service was super welcoming, super friendly, and super awesome — ask for Tommy, the pitmaster: D I’d love to come back and try out their sliders, the BLT sandwich, and their Rib Eye sandwich, as well as their other sides. Check this little gem out!

A must try! Their food is the best around town and tastes like its homemade. Found out they’re serving breakfast and I’m sure I’ll be stopping by a lot. The Mac and cheese is to die for and so are the green beans. Not to mention the sandwiches are the size of your face.

This place does it right. If you want meat, they give you meat and plenty of it. Sides are delicious, place is clean, and the staff is friendly.

Mighty fine BBQ for this Southern transplant!
Ever since moving to MD from GA, I’ve been looking for a good BBQ pit to call home. I think I found the one! Their collard greens and Mac N’ Cheese is delicious and tasted homemade. I also had their pulled pork BBQ and it was excellent!
I went there for both breakfast and lunch and had a fantastic time. The staff is so friendly and kind. I will definitely come back here.
Try their coffee cake! It’s addicting!

Such a great value for delicious food! Got way more than we expected and the price was very good. Everything tasted great. Service was outstanding and everyone was very friendly. Don’t pass this hidden gem by, check them out. You won’t be sorry!

This place might be Finksburg’s best kept secret. But hopefully more people will stop by so they stay in business!
Turkey’d out, we took the family for a quick meal after Thanksgiving. This was my second time visiting and had a great experience both times. We all had the pit beef and it was DELICIOUS. We got the dinner platters with two sides & a drink and there is a HUGE selection of great tasting sides to pick from. The portions are very generous and well-​priced.
The eat-​in area is not huge – only 5 oversized picnic tables– but it is very nicely decorated, clean and also has a couple tv’s. There’s a sign on the table that says wifi is coming soon.
The staff is very friendly and the gentlemen who was at the carving area was very knowledgeable about the beef and ensures your satisfaction.
This is one place I will be going back to often. Can’t thank them enough for giving us another option for great food in 21 048!

Tasty ribs. Get them dry and add your own sauce. Fries are a big portion and taste good. A full rack of ribs for $ 19 and they have plenty of meat on them.

Hands down the best bbq in the area and love that it is owned by a local family! The cream of crab soup is to die for and the pulled pork never disappoints.

The food is amazing. The service is out of this world and the attentiveness to customers is amazing. The care that goes behind the food and the customer satisfaction is something you don’t see everyday a true down south feel

Great family owned bbq place. Have eaten here 4 times and every time it has been great! Tonight my husband and I split a cheese burger with fries and coleslaw! Just enough and amazingly good. Employees are very friendly and accommodating! Thank you for opening in my neighborhood, makes lunch and dinner very easy!

My husband and I went here on Friday night to try it out as we heard great reviews. I got the turkey sandwich and he got pitbeef. The portions were huge. Why I gave it three stars is because we dined in and we had gotten an order of fries. We ate and then waited a few minutes to see if they would come. After about fifteen minutes, another family came in and ordered fries with their meal. They got them right away. So I went up and said we couldn’t wait any longer for the fries which I just saw served to someone else. Without an apology from the one girl, the man that was working did apologize and gave us some to go. Food was good but customer service could be improved a LOT. I won’t go somewhere without good service so I hope it gets fixed because the food was quite good.

We’re not from this area and always like to try new bbq and give the mom-​n-​pop places business. We were glad to find this place. Excellent and friendly service. That alone was worth the stop. We both had a bbq pork sandwich with sides. The pork was awesome– loved it. The mac and cheese and cucumbers and onions were delicious. I also got their Maryland crab soup and enjoyed it. We were stuffed. So we got homemade blueberry/​cranberry bread pudding and chocolate cake with peanut butter icing to go.
