Pat's Pigs BBQ

Patricia G.

Pat is an excellent chef. Everything was delicious! Casual and friendly atmosphere. People were eating outside today at the picnic tables. Yay, spring!

Got takeout and changed our minds — we sat down at the restaurant and chowed down. The meats are great but the surprise winner was the Mac salad. There's less mayo and a bit of spice so it was unique and delicious. Definitely will come back

If you're a fan of barbecue, you owe it to yourself to stop by and visit Pat. 's Pigs. Pat's got 15 years in cooking and barbecue experience that he brings to the table.

My wife and I enjoy the "EAT LOCAL GUY" Anthony. We stopped today. I had the Brisket Philly. An incredible spin, and the first bite was amazing. My wife had the Fried Pickle sandwich, which she truly enjoyed. The sides were great, and the cornbread didn't need butter. Not in our neighborhood, but absolutely worth a special trip. I want Pats Plate next time.

Ordered chicken tacos and Nico salad (artichokes) with pulled pork. Both selections were flavorful, moist, tender & filling. The salad was fresh. I will be returning on regular basis!

Personally, this is my favorite barbecue place! My wife and I just tried it on Valentine’s Day and were the only two dining in and the owner was kind, hospitable, and very personable. Also, we loved the food. She got the ribs and I got the “eat local” sandwich and both were incredible!! The sides were also good with the mac & cheese being stand out. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who’s looking for a good barbecue. Also, the signature sauces were amazing especially the honey barbecue (:

Just grabbed lunch at Pat’s Pigs - delicious! Pork sandwich and brisket sandwich were very tasty, and I recommend their Cajun corn and broccoli salad. We used a coupon from an area entertainment book; they also have a lunch special on a great deal (sandwich, chips, and drink). Give this place a try!

Have to say was really surprised, we ordered a couple of there sandwiches. Mine a brisket topped with mango habanero sauce, and my wife had a Cuban. This was different then Cuban we had previously, this was minced meat in a tasty sauce with ham, no pickles. That was the surprise,btw, mine had almost a half pound of meat. Really outstanding, suggest everyone go try and support small businesses.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to a good BBQ place. Thanks to “Eat Local New York”, I found another great place for food. While they do have a dining area, it’s quite small. I honestly recommend takeout if you’re getting food for large crowds (then again they do cater). I got their pulled pork tacos and pork belly burnt ends; phenomenal flavor. The brisket didn’t disappoint either, literally disintegrated in my mouth. If you want some high quality BBQ, come to Pats Pigs in Mendon.

Pat catered our wedding with a whole pig and I can say we were completely satisfied! It tasted great and our guest loved it. He provided wonderful service and is highly recommended!

The food from Pats Pigs is incredible and unique. The menu ideas are chosen carefully and include high quality smoked meats that you want to keep shoveling into your mouth. I have been getting Pats Pigs for years and still the best in town. Keep doing your thing Pat, we LOVE your food!

I work across the street from Pats’s pigs so I normally grab dinner for my family after work. Every meal we’ve had has been excellent. My last two visits (tonight and a few weeks ago), I was very impressed with the customer service as well. I drove up 8 minutes past closing, was starving and noticed the lights still on. The nice guy working opened up and said he would still do an order for me. I was so grateful! Tonight, a different young man was very kind and told me the broccoli salad I love so much is the owner’s Moms recipe. Way to go Mom!! Thank you guys for all that you do. Running a small business is hard work and this team is totally excelling in all ways in my opinion. Keep up the great food and teamwork!

Very welcoming place. We were greeted by a very nice lady as we walked in. We ordered a late lunch that turned into our dinner as well. The portion sizes are exactly what you’d expect from a great BBQ place… BIG! The prices are good, especially for what you get. We got a brisket plate, nacho's and brisket Philly Sammy. Everything was amazing. Hands-down, one of the best barbecue in the Rochester area. We can’t wait to go back and try other items on the menu.

This was our first time ordering. Food was delicious. Salt potatoes were done perfectly, just enough salt and butter. Mac and cheese was made with shells and was a great complement to the brisket. The brisket sandwich was very good and big. There signature bbq sauce was delicious. My only knock would be i wanted more sauce:)I was stuffed after eating this meal. I recommend anyone looking for another good BBQ joint to give this one a shot! Definitely ordering again. Have plans to get the Bills Mafia platter for Father's Day!!

I went in today with my boyfriend for dine in and we both had a bit of a different experience. I ordered the Fried Pickle Sammy with baked beans and coleslaw. I loved my food, the sauce on the sandwich was delicious and the pork tasted just as great! Huge fan of the coleslaw but the baked beans were a bit too peppery tasting for me! After I finished my plate I did try my boyfriend’s brisket and to be honest I couldn’t even finish chewing it or even swallow it, it really honestly tasted bad… but like I said my pork sandwich was delicious and I’d definitely get it again! My meal was $20 for the sandwich and 2 sides.

I ordered off the catering menu. I had heard wonderful things about Pat's pigs so thought we would give it a try. We normally go to 96 barbecue which we absolutely love so I was hoping it would be around the same quality. I do have to say that the brisket was phenomenal. The pulled chicken and pork dry as could be. Tasted okay but needed something to make it a little more moist. I was disappointed in the coleslaw it was made with miracle whip or some kind of a sweet cream and the whole entire thing went to waste. It was horrible. I did think that the price was high but was hoping that the quality would be good. Would I go back there? Probably to try like a dinner? but I would not order off a catering and you ever again. I was also surprised that there was an extra sauce to go along with the meats in case it was dry. On the plus side, customer service was phenomenal.

Portion size was very good. With that being said that does not make up for freshness and quality. Meat was well cooked but lacked that smoke flavor one looks for in bbq meat, brisket was tender but had the flavor profile of pot roast with bbq sauce as did the bone in beef rib, the broccoli salad was good as well as the Mac and cheese. However the coleslaw was nasty and spoiled. Really wanted to like this place but I don't think I will be back.

Don’t know if it was an off day, or what, but from the reviews of generous proportions and top tier. Very confused what’s going on. Everything I ordered in the picture below was $50. We are a family of 4 and there was a zero chance it would feed all of us.. Compared to other BBQ places I would not recommend this one compared to them. Prices are too high for what they give, and for what their website supports some of it is misleading. It’s not full sliced brisket. It’s mostly chopped. Would definitely wonder if these would be the serving sizes if we ate in? The other photos in reviews show more promise but i don’t know what happened with this. $50 for less than a pound of food. 1 pint of mac n cheese is $10? Same price as the pork belly burnt ends (small)… which were sadly burnt… like burnt burnt. There was and is zero smoke rings.. i don’t know what’s going on there. I can promise it’s not even smoked at least the brisket… no smoke at all. Tasted more like pot roast. Not USDA prime. I could speculate, but it tasted all baked in an oven. The 3 x 3 is HALF a slice of brisket. 1 sausage link. 5 oz of pulled pork. 3 salt potatoes. They have a lot of sauces which is nice and the potatoes were great. But… it’s BBQ we are talking about.

A friend of mine was bragging about the food at this place, so he invited me to go there last night. I ordered a brisket sandwich for $14 and 2 sides for $5 more. The brisket on the sandwich was all chop up like pull pork and the meat was burnt and full of gristle. The bun was worse than the meat, it was hard and tasteless. I was expecting tender strips of beef with a little coleslaw on a Kaiser roll but instead I received the part of the brisket that should have went in the garbage. So now I ended up with a garbage plate that should have stayed in the garbage! The 2 sides consisted of 3 tiny salt potatoes and a tiny scoop of mac and cheese. I wouldn't eat there again if the food was free and I lived right across the street!

Unfortunately this may have been the worst BBQ I’ve ever reviewed. I hate leaving one star reviews for small businesses but this is my true and unbiased opinion. Ordered around 3pm on a Thursday and ate in, my order was the 1 meat plate (brisket) with fries and 1/4 rack of ribs. Ringing in at about $35 with drink and tip. At first glance I was blown away with the portions! I don’t think I’ve ever got so much brisket on one plate! Unfortunately over half of it was thrown away. Ribs were unappealing and even worse when trying to cut them apart, hard and dry. After one chewy bite, you could tell they were either microwaved or from the day before, they also ended up in the trash. The brisket was more like a pot roast, lacked a smoke ring and didn’t taste great in my opinion. Fries were good though! I’ve reviewed a lot of BBQ restaurants, I’m sad to say this was the worst.

Worst bbq I ever had. We went at opening and food wasn't hhot. And no ribs only a1/4 and it wad not edible. Brisket was ok mac cheese bland and tasteless
