Stopped by The Crazy Pig for lunch while I was in town for business and had a great experience. The BBQ was good overall, the brisket was average, but the smoked wings were outstanding. The hush puppies were especially great, and they offer a nice selection of side items to choose from. The atmosphere is laid back and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely visit again if I’m back in the area. Thank you for your hospitality.

I recently stopped by The Crazy Pig, and let me tell you, this place lives up to its name in all the right ways. The burger I had was nothing short of amazing. The bun was toasted just enough to give that perfect balance of soft and crisp, and the beef patty was cooked to perfection, juicy, flavorful, and packed with that backyard-grill kind of taste that’s hard to find these days. The toppings were fresh and thoughtfully layered with melted cheese, crisp lettuce, and just the right amount of sauce to tie it all together without overpowering the meat. And those fries were golden, crispy, and seasoned just right, complementing the burger beautifully. You can tell they put care into every bite. What really made the experience stand out was the service. Rob was absolutely exceptional, friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest enjoyed their meal. It’s rare to meet someone who brings that much pride and energy to their work, and it made all the difference. If you haven’t tried The Crazy Pig yet, do yourself a favor and go. Great food, great people, and an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

I was in town for work, I stopped in for dinner. I tried the 3 meat plate. The brisket was good , but the last piece was dry. The pulled pork was good with good flavor and smoke. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was good and the hush puppies were great. They have pretty good bbq and recommend a stop and try..

Went there with some friends and got a chance to sample a lot of the menu. Really cool place with a ton of seating and a separate bar. Friendly staff The brisket melts in your mouth and the pulled pork was some of the best I’ve ever had. Paired everything we got with their 6 homemade sauces. Definitely worth the stop.

Out for a drive, my hunger led me to The Crazy Pig in Davidson, NC for some takeout. Here’s my honest two cents: The baked beans fell flat right away. No depth of flavor, no smokiness, and not even a hint of meat mixed in—just plain and forgettable. The pulled pork on its own didn’t impress much, coming across as bland. Thankfully, once I added their sauce, it came alive with much-needed flavor. The hush puppies were another miss—dry, lacking in seasoning, and missing that satisfying bite I was hoping for. As for the brisket, it arrived without any bark (a must for good brisket), and it was slightly overcooked. Again, the sauce helped, but the meat itself lacked the richness you expect from BBQ done right. I held out hope for the chicken, which looked well-seasoned and smoked. Unfortunately, the flavor profile just didn’t land—the seasoning blend clashed instead of complementing, and after one bite, I couldn’t continue. At the end of the day, the brisket and pulled pork with sauce were edible, but overall, this spot has some serious work to do to measure up as a true BBQ destination. #GratuityAdded #TheCrazyPig #Davidson ##ExploreDavidson #foodieCLT #eatdrinkdavidson #CharlotteBBQJoints #CharlotteBBQ
