If I could give zero stars I would because honestly this place has begun causing me problems. With the staff/service and the food I ate here , I am definitely going to have some issues fitting into my wedding dress next month. The worst part about this place is that they aren’t not located right outside of my house. I was forcing myself not to drive all the way back up there today and grab another bite. Amazing service, amazing food. Super glad we stopped in here. If you are trying to keep your waistline down, definitely don’t recommend because this place will have you coming back like a crackhead.

The Food is absolutely amazing! You will make sounds of happiness while eating, the vibe is relaxed and inviting and the staff have really fun attitudes! Come in and enjoy the best barbeque you've likely had!! I'm not just saying that because my fiance works here, she brought the food home and I've visited there and it's all true!!!

When lunch hits this good, you have to share it! Big shoutout to Flaming Pig BBQ, the gem right near my work. Today’s win: Pulled pork baked potato — smoky, tender meat piled high on a silky, soft potato. Lemon dill coleslaw — fresh, crisp, and tangy with that perfect crunch. And let’s not forget those addictive pickle fries! Top it off with the friendliest crew in town — always serving up kindness, good vibes, and laughs. If you haven't checked them out yet, you’re missing out. Life’s just better with Flaming Pig. #SupportLocal #BBQLovers #WorkLunchWin #FlamingPigBBQ #OfficeEats #GoodEatsNearby

I have lived about 5 miles from this place for 14 years. Every time we dive by I say we should go there to eat. Finally did and it was wonderful. I love bbq and this was a treat. I can't wait to go back. My son loved it too.

I attended a memorial service that was catered by Flaming Pig BBQ. I can honestly say this was some of the best bbq I’ve had the privilege of eating. As a bonus, they had cards identifying the dishes and Chad was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to indicate which dishes were dairy free for me (which was most of them!!) I can’t wait to have them cater an event for me soon!

Fantastic BBQ! This place is a true hidden GEM!! I've been there 5 times in the last 3 weeks no joke. I haven't tried anything I didn't like, and I am looking forward to trying everything they offer. They are my favorite BBQ in Thurston county without a doubt. My go to sandwich has pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and amazing kielbasa all piled on a hoagie roll. They have 4 different homemade BBQ sauces to choose from that are all delicious. I could keep going, but I think I've made my point. Now get yourself down, and give them a try. They are open Tuesday thru Saturday 11am to 6pm.
