Our Guestbook
“ I had been to The Improper Pig a few years back at a different location. This was a great lunch. The food was excellent. We ordered the Charcuterie Board BBQ. EXCELLENT!! My wife and I shared it and had enough leftover for another meal. The brisket was incredibly tender, the pork was nicely chopped, and the ribs were nicely charred and tender. The sausage was very delicious. There was little to no fat on the meat. With various sauces to try on the meat, it made for a great tasty lunch. The fries were good, and the homemade chips were delicious. The cole slaw was mayo based and tasted fresh. Our appetizer was the pork eggrolls. I feel that we got quality and quantity for our money. 5 stars for the food! Cassandra was our waitress and was kind, caring, and attentive. She did an excellent job. 5 Gold Star to Cassandra. Atmosphere also gets 5 stars because the music wasn't too loud. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of staff. Thank you to the management for a great experience. ”
“ Great food, great atmosphere!! The manger Cameron is very attentive, caring, and friendly. He suggested the pork rolls and they were AMAZING!! The sauces to dip them in were phenomenal and paired very well. The improper ceased is such a tasteful salad. I recommend the green beans and collards. You will love them! I can’t say enough good things about the cleanliness of this location, the flavorful food, and the amazing service. They also have amazing merchandise which I bought! ”

“ We had dinner at the Improper Pig over Mother’s Day weekend while the kids were home, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our daughter doesn’t eat pork, but looked over the menu ahead of time and found plenty of options she was happy with, which made it an easy choice for our family gathering. Our server, Branson, was fantastic—polite, pleasant, attentive, and with a great personality. He really added to the overall positive vibe of the evening. The service was top-notch, and the food didn’t disappoint either. We ordered a variety of dishes, including pulled chicken, brisket, bone-in chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, burger, fries, sweet potato casserole, and blueberry cobbler. Everything was delicious. The 6 margaritas were a hit—we enjoyed them so much we had two rounds! To top it all off, the manager came by our table to thank us personally (and properly, lol), which was a really nice touch. Looking forward to dining there again. Highly recommend! ”
“ We ate here over the weekend and whether you're a BBQ connoisseur or just someone looking for a satisfying meal, The Improper Pig offers a great experience! Our serve Celeste was attentive and awesome! She had great recommendations and was super friendly. So refreshing and really added to our experience. My boyfriend Andrew got the full rack of ribs. So delicious! I got the bao brisket sliders. We topped the meal off with the chocolate cream pie. The pie came with a hilarious added touch. Bacon with the word "pig" on it. You can't get better than that! Can't wait to go back! ”
“ Had a good dinner at The Improper Pig at Rea Farms. We got there around 7PM on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy. There were only two of us and there was a table in the back and we asked to sit there and they said that would be for a larger party. They ended up sitting right near the door and by the bar. The sun was in our face for 1/2 the meal but we dealt. The annoying thing about that was about 10 minutes later they sat a table for two in the place we wanted to sit. The service was definitely the best part of our visit. I think our servers name was Adam and he was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient! I had the mushroom burger. It came with a side, so I got the Asian slaw. The burger was pretty good. The bun was mushy, but it had good flavor. My friend had the mac & cheese and she loved it. The prices are reasonable as well. Would definitely go back. ”
“ Pretty Good BBQ the house made salt and vinegar chips we’re suburb. Watch out for the Bao sliders they get soggy from the Asian slaw I think the slaw should come in a side bowl to prevent the bread sogginess. Service was excellent! ”
“ What a great partnership to have with this amazing restaurant and I love that it was closer to my home in Rea Farms! The amount and quality of food for the price is hard to come by! It felt like I was eating at a home cooked house party. The service was just as amazing! Wish I could remember his name. Young with dark curly hair. ”
