Rustic Pig BBQ, Fruitland, ID

This is an awesome, unassuming little restaurant connected to a convince store in Fruitland. Don't let the location fool you though because the BBQ here is absolutely spectacular! I was in town doing some work and was told I needed to try out their brisket so I stopped in. It was as good as I was told. The girls at the counter were friendly and nice and the service was quick. It's not a fancy place for lunch or dinner, by no means, but it sure is tasty. The brisket was moist, thick and full of flavor and the pulled pork was excellent too. They have many homemade sauces to choose from so I'm sure you'll find one to your liking. You can't really talk about a barbecue place if they don't have great coleslaw. And this was GREAT coleslaw. I don't know where the owners learned about barbecue but

I always wanted to try this joint. Always looked and smelled good. So i did. Bad idea and a waste of money. I ordered 4 pork sliders, which were fine. Brisket Mac and cheese burrito meal which I upgraded the side (mac and cheese) for 60 cents. I also got a quarter chicken. I asked the guy if the chicken was fresh, because if it's dry I can't swallow it. He said that it was. That was a flat out lie. I love the skin but this skin was tough as leather. I chewed and chewed but it wouldn't break down. When I went to eat the chicken, it was tough and dry, absolutely inedible. The side of mac and cheese was one big mushy clump. Absolutely disgusting. The burrito had that mush, and one thin, chewy brisket piece. They forgot my coleslaw until I was walking out the door. The only thing that tasted g

I have not been here in about a year or more but decided to give it another shot, and let me tell you I'm so glad I did. I am not sure what changed but the food is way better and even the way the employees interact with you is on a whole nother level. We will definitely be back and telling everyone to go even if it was not so good in the past. This is one place you will want to try.

You name the state and I’ve eaten BBQ there. Carolina’s, Texas Or Kansas I’ve had their best. The Rustic Pig can hang in the race with any of them. Juicy and cooled to perfection with simple and traditional sides. Choose one of the 10 different sauces and order you up 2 pulled pork sandwiches. Finish off with a little banana pudding and you’ll thank me tomorrow.

We were going to go to the Black Cow for an early lunch, but it was closed while moving to a new location. Since this was next door, we decided to try it. Very few cars in the lot, a few folks inside, but it got crowded by the time we left. A small BBQ joint sharing a building with the Shell gas station in Fruitland, ID. It was a pizza place at one time. There are about 10 tables with a small bit of decor and a TV. Orders are taken and delivered at the counter. They have daily specials listed on the chalkboard. One of the specials was a new chili mac burrito, so I thought I would give that a shot, with brisket as my meat of choice. Pretty good burrito, I could taste all three ingredients, plenty of smokiness. They have quite a few BBQ sauces to choose from as well. I will have to try the
