About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
We’ll be dishing up meaty ribs, homemade BBQ sauce, juicy burgers, whole smoked chickens, and pulled pork that’s been cooked low and slow (for over 16 hours) in the smokers we imported from Oklahoma. there’ll be cold American (and local) craft beers on the bar, classic Tennessee tunes on the speakers and fun enough to rival Beale Street.

    We had reservation for 5:30 and when we got there was told there was no reservation and they closed in less then 30 minutes so we ended up going some where else. Ended up having to find some place else to eat. I was NOT going to woof down food. They should NOT advertise and take reservation when there is NO WAY they can honor them.

    I visited Porkys with my dad and brother for my brother’s birthday. My brother is autistic and so is very particular about noise, what he eats etc. Porkys were great. We had some very tasty nachos, that weren’t lacking on the toppings like in some places. One portion was enough for three of us. The boys had tasty bacon burgers and chips and I had a huge but delicious Cajun catfish. Service was friendly, it was a Tuesday night at 6pm so not much ambience but that was perfect for my brother. I would definitely recommend.

    We had pre-booked as we were going to the Globe. Location for this was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, the food was outstandingly good (try the ribs) and the service was friendly and efficient. All in all a great experience.

    Nice place with excellent service. The food unfortunately was a bit average. The burgers were over cooked and lacked any real flavour. I’d definitely go back but would order differently.

    Food was nice, service a bit slow, noise levels were extreme. Big parties of people very noisy and shouting. Shame as other than that was ok.
