Delicious food, amazing service and the most addictive French fries ever! The big cheese panini with shredded pork is awesome but very hard to finish! The Cuban I was very well regarded. If only we could come here more often. Delightful to enjoy sitting in the beer garden under the shade with cool drinks. Strongly recommended!

A Hidden Gem with Heartwarming Vibes! My recent visit to Porkies was an absolute delight, and I can't help but share the love for this hidden gem! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with a quaint and cozy atmosphere that set the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The owner, Jakes', passion for what he does shines through every aspect of the restaurant. His personable nature made us feel right at home, and it's evident that he genuinely loves his customers and is dedicated to creating a welcoming space. The attention to detail in the decor and ambiance adds an extra layer of charm, making it a top-notch spot for anyone seeking a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Now, let's talk about the barbecue – it's nothing short of phenomenal! Each dish is crafted with care, and the flavors are a testament to the owner's dedication to his craft. The menu boasts a variety of options that cater to different tastes, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you're a barbecue aficionado or just looking for a tasty meal, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend Porkies to anyone who appreciates good food, a warm atmosphere, and the genuine passion of a dedicated owner. It's a true gem in the local dining scene, and I can't wait for my next visit to savor more delicious bites and soak in the heartwarming vibes.

Tried Porkies tonight, and we were not disappointed! We ordered brisket, pulled pork mac and cheese, the potato side, and cornbread. Everything was great!!!! Handsdown, though, the star of the show was the pulled pork mac and cheese. Simply out of this world!!! We will definitely be back soon.

We had Porkies cater our work Holiday party this winter and they did not disappoint! The food was amazing and they thought of all the details when it came to catering, so the entire experience was very smooth. Great people to work with, I am very happy with the new ownership and I'm excited to see what they do! The Cheesy Potato's were to die for; we also tried all meats and just about every side. No complaints.

This place is definitely underrated. The food was great and service was great! For a Saturday it was pretty slow and I hope more people give this place a chance! My fiance and I got the sampler which was tasty and when they mention it can serve two people let me tell you they mean two very hungry people! Great prices and portions! I see there are a few mentions of upcoming renovations and I am super excited to come back and see what they have done with the place!
