Mmmm, I live right by Porky's and eat there all the time. Definitely worth eating there. And, if i may recommend, the fried green tomatoes are outstanding, make sure you get ranch with them. :)
Excellent BBQ. Very clean restaurant! Would recomend to anyone. Don't go with a chain, try this one.
My buddy & I stopped by Porky's on the way back from a basketball game on Saturday night. We had seen the billboards on I-65 and decided to check it out. We turned the wrong direction from the exit thinking they would be located around all of the fast food joints but they are actually located west of the interstate.
We finally found Porky's and it was worth the effort. The owner was manning the cash register and taking orders. My buddy had the BBQ Pork Plate and I had the Combo Plate which consisted of Pork BBQ, One rib & smoked sausage. The BBQ Pork was very moist and tender, the rib was way above average and the smoked sausage was excellent. Porky's bbq sauce is a tomato base sauce with a good influence of smoke and vinegar. It's tangy with a subtle sweetness to it. I thought it complimented the meat very well.
The side item selection was limited to the standard fare. We had the fries and the homemade vinegar slaw. Both were good.
My buddy & I both are KCBS Certified Barbecue Judges and know our barbecue. So when we recommend a place it is from experience tasting great barbecue. We both highly recommend that you stop by and see the friendly folks at Porky's Pride BBQ.
I will definitely be stopping by on my trips to Birmingham.
