Porky's Bbq - Arlington Heights

First visit. we are from s georgia. I wanted a good pork sandwich for one. I just knew that a business front bbq joint in arlington heights without.

I'm sorry, guys, that's not one, two, or even three stars. it is probably closer to four than five (partial sizes are a little on the smaller side.

Well bbq, but overpriced for what it is. tiny venu to sit and not the kompanie. Also, a bit slow, that is bbq, not a sitting restaurant with a chic menu.

We had a great first experience at this restaurant. The server was friendly and helpful. We recommend trying the Carolina Gold and Alabama White BBQ sauces, both of which are unique and delicious. The sweet BBQ sauce was also a hit. We didn't get to try the spicy sauce this time, but maybe next time. The Saturday specials offer large portions, and we suggest taking advantage of the buy one, get one free deal on pastries. We enjoyed the Pecan Pie and Bread Pudding. We were so full from our meal that we only ate half of the fries and took the leftover dessert home. The restaurant is cute and clean, and we will definitely be back when we're in the area again.

I was not happy when I left Porky's. Having ordered online ahead of my visit, I was looking forward a nice BBQ dinner. On arrival, I let them know my name and watched for the next 20+ minutes as patrons came and went, most having also ordered in advance. Finally, the (presumably) high school kid picked up a bag out of the warmer and said my name. (Audible grumble) I had actually asked him earlier, as well, if my order was ready and he ignored me. With that unpleasantness out of the way.... I ordered a brisket sandwich topped with coleslaw, mac-n-cheese, and some beer-battered cheese curds. Despite having sat in a warmer for at least 20 minutes. It was all delicious. Really outstanding. Well, the curds were okay but probably would have been better with 30 seconds in my microwave. I had the spicy sauce. With some sweetness and combined with the coleslaw topping, it was great. I will likely order the exact same thing next time around.
