The Pig Pin by Fat Man

I was driving thru, saw a sign for BBQ. It was attached to the bowling alley. I went in and glad I did! Sat morning $1 smoked wings and $4 pork sandwiches. Wow, it was great. Jay really knows how to make smoked meats. Tasted great, texas style sauce and rubs in the center of NC. It was a real treat to the taste buds. Worth a stop, the wings were by far the best I've had in NC; dryrubbed, slow smoked and a touch of sauce. At a $1 a piece, I felt like I stole them. Inside was nice and clean, in fact I had so much fun I reserved a lane to bowl a game.

We had the BBQ Potato, BBQ sandwiches and Mac and Cheese. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

Really satisfying experience!!! It was a quick visit after my office hours, and they really made my day with their extraordinary food. Got the order within 5 minutes, and it was smoky and full of flavor. The smoked gouda mac and cheese was creamy and rich. Definitely a place to try if you love BBQ food.

The Pig Pen is a hidden gem tucked inside Buffaloe Lanes bowling alley on 5th St in downtown Mebane. You order counter service with dedicated seating for the restaurant. We had the Fat Man Sampler which was 1/3 lb of their pulled pork, brisket, sausage and smoked turkey, plus sides of smoked Gouda bacon Mac and collard greens. The meat and sides were delicious. The meats were all flavorful and juicy with just the right amount of smoke and seasoning. The sides were also excellent. This is become one of our new favorite barbecue places. Highly recommended!

After we got done playing in the arcade and bowling, we were starving! It was great that this place is inside the bowling alley! The food was delicious and so filling! I do wish the menu was written down on paper in addition to the screen, because I kept missing the menu that had the sides on it. The employees were super friendly and helpful! We'll definitely be back!
