Georgia Pig--a Restaurant Review



(How could you not like a restaurant that has its desserts in the top center of the menu????)

It being Wednesday (who's in a rut???) Allen came by to take me on my errands and then we went for lunch. I had to stop at the bank to cash a check from an e-bay buyer--we are doing good on the coin auctions--$1,000 the first week on 2 items--then I went to 7-11 to buy my winning lotto ticket (for the 19th year of Wednesdays in a row!).

After that we went to the post office so I could mail off one of the packages of coins to the winning bidder.For a moment I thought it was pre-Christmas--the line was long. I, also, bought some of the 'forever' stamps with prices going up in may.

For over 29 years I have been passing the Georgia Pig restaurant on 441 always meaning to stop and have lunch there but never did. Most reviews I have read called it one of the best.

Since it is right near one of the Indian reservation cigarette booths we decided to give it a try. I ordered the sliced bar-b-q beef platter and Allen got the pork platter. Both are served with French fries, half of a hogie roll and cole slaw. I did enjoy the cole slaw which was a little on the sweet side--the fries were standard fries. I much prefer pulled beef/pork and this was sliced and a little dry. Their sauce really didn't impress me.

I was glad I finally got to try it out but don't think I will go back there as there are, at least, 3 other barbecue restaurants I find much better.

Today was one of those perfect 'tourist weather' days--wish I still had my convertible--would have loved to just put the top down and drive to Key West crossing over the 7 mile bridge--great day for it!!

No,no, we bought the winning lotto ticket, didn't you know. Actually I won $3 on Mega Money last night. Woohoo! I love good barbecue, of course "good" being the key word, right? We have a BubbaLou's here that isn't bad, especially the ribs. Okay, now I'm hungry again and I just had a salad. See what you do to me, martin!

Oink,oink,oink,sorry that the place did not meet your expectation.
What happen to the car that you had,did you sell it?
It would have lovely to take a drive there with someone in the passenger
seat.Why did you give it up or did you really all ready told us.
Read so many blogs and cannot keep up with all of this.
