Little Pigs Bar-B-Q in Mauldin, established in 1986, opened in a new location in the old Pizza Factory building on S. Main St.
We started humbly but with a grand plan: To create the best BBQ this world has ever tasted, end of story. And with nothing but this dream, we’ve grown to this point where you’re reading this right now and probably salivating.
Our secret?
It’s not one, admittedly. Starting with the best ingredients is a big part. The other big part is an unrelenting love for the most delicious BBQ. Between those two, we think we pretty much have our BBQ bases covered.
Turns out we also like people, though. We’re not making these delicious, one-of-a-kind bbq creations to not share them. We hope to share them with you, in fact. And soon.
So head on into the very best Little Pigs Bar-B-Q restaurant around to savor the flavor of the best BBQ and ribs ever. Now, we serve ribs Thursday through Saturday!
You won’t be sorry you did.
If you find yourself traveling down Interstate 85, just take Exit 48 and head toward Mauldin on 276. Follow 276 for a little over 3 miles and Little Pigs Bar-B-Q will be on your left.

Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide Bob Harrison knows a good thing when he tastes it:
Son! Great day in the mornin’! These folks always get it right. The pulled pork was exceptional and the BBQ ribs had that wonderful smoky bark with some of their fabulous sauce slathered on it. Off the charts good!
I can’t say enough about how satisfying this experience was. Banana pudding for dessert to boot! Please switch to Coke products for an even better dining experience. Still, when in the area, “I gotta grab me some Little Pigs.”
Over on TripAdvisor, Ayelneh shared her experience with Little Pigs over the years:
My favorite place for BBQ! I have been coming to this place for years and it never disappoints.
If you dine in, they have bottles of all of the different sauces available to try. It gives you the option to mix it up. The pulled pork on the sandwich is piled high so it almost enough to make 2 sandwiches. Every side I have tried has been very good but the french fries and coleslaw reign supreme.
It’s a great spot for BBQ.

What I liked most about the cookbook was the bbq sauces – this took a lot of hard work. It’s worth the money. Buy the cookbook, you won’t find one any better. I have tried a couple of the sauces – they were real good!
