The Pig

A really fantastic find while on a road trip. The only drawback was how hard it was to choose from the many juicy offerings on the menu. Service was quick and my burger was delivered exactly how I ordered it- at almost fast food prices. This is the sort of place you wish were in your home town, and will definitely squeeze into your next excursion out west.

I get the sense this restaurant is well underrated among the options here in Carbondale. On a Saturday, around 6, there were plenty tables available. Attentive staff. And the barbeque is very good. The Pigalicious sandwich hit the spot. The mac'n'cheese is a great side (we feed that to our 2yr old). And not that it matters that much to me personally, but the decor is super cute - sort of industrial. They also have a unique meaty brunch on weekends. I definitely recommend it.

I would not have ever known this place was there if it wasn't for the service station garage mechanics next door (Car Care) across the way, who by the way are the best and most honest mechanics between Grand Junction and Aspen! They had ordered four bags full of burgers and fries that smelled heavenly. First, I was met at the door by the sweetest gal Sarah, who although waiting tables by herself, was attentive, so personable, and very able in making sure every table was serviced. The food was AWESOME! So much variety for nibbles, salads, and comfort food. Everything looked and tasted fresh from the garden. I even had the GF bun option which by the way did NOT taste like an old sponge! What's your secret? I had the Truffle Beef Burger, medium rare and it needed to be cut in half so I could lift it to my mouth. JUICEY too! The fries are hand cut and fried to perfection. Although the place was hopp'n the food was out in a flash. Apparently, they just recently decided to open for brunch and lunch and what a great decision. Last, I txtd a picture of my lunch plate to my husband who begged me to order him a pulled pork sandwich with mac-n-cheese. Of course I tasted the Mac-n-cheese and it too was scrumptious! I might have to tell him I forgot to order it so I can have it to myself. WE WILL RETURN FOR MORE! YUM
