Checkered Pig BBQ & Ribs

Besides the delicious pork BBQ, the collard greens are the best I have ever eaten. This visit I tried the barbecue ribs along with the chopped pork. The meat on the ribs was perfect and tender and the bones came out clean. They have a new sauce on the table called competition sauce. It is very complex and flavor and is absolutely delicious on those ribs. I can go on and on about the smoke and the flavors and the good service. What you need to do is find this place as soon as possible. I even got a quart of collard greens to go. I will definitely return to this place when I am in Martinsville.

Greens were great. Hush puppies very good. Smoked wings very nice. Brisket meh, pulled pork pretty bad and awfully dry, green beans had good flavor, but so mushy, fries not great. BBQ sauce options not good. Left the pulled pork behind on plate along with a slice of brisket, and most the fries. I did eat all the mushy green beans though.

My husband and I drive up from Greensboro and we love love love this place! The bbq is amazing, wings are INSANELY good. The seasoning is awesome, we even bought some to use at home. We really enjoy coming here to eat!

Checkered Pig BBQ & Ribs has been a family favorite for years—I've enjoyed many lunches here with loved ones, and it never disappoints. Tucked just slightly off the beaten path, it’s the kind of place you’re glad you found and even happier to return to. There’s plenty of seating, which makes it easy to settle in even during the lunch rush. And speaking of busy—yes, they often have a good crowd, but the kitchen runs like clockwork. Food comes out hot, fresh, and fast, every single time. My go-tos? The Chop Plate is always satisfying, the Chop BBQ Sandwich hits the spot, and the Brisket Tacos are a smoky little surprise. Even the hotdog is worth mentioning—simple, tasty, and served with care. No matter what we order, the quality is consistent and the flavor is one we know we can trust. Th

Pretty good place to eat. Brisket was good. Hushpuppies are amazing, as was the banana pudding. (served warm) About the only issue I personally had was that the sweet tea isn't all that great. I'm very much from the south though and like me tea pretty sweet. If you're not from thr area, this mau not be an issue for you. Otherwise, nice place. Friendly staff, and food was served quickly, in spite of it being fairly busy. They've got their system down. Good atmosphere. About what you'd expect from a southern BBQ restaurant. Overall, good experience.
