Barbecue is almost a universal language. Across the globe, there’s Korean barbecue and Japan’s yakiniku (a word for grilled meat cuisine), and right here at home, there’s Memphis barbecue, Carolina barbecue, St. Louis barbecue and more. Mississippi’s barbecue cuisine, at least here in Jackson, tends to pull from the different types in the South, and The Pig & Pint exhibits that. The restaurant has a type of barbecue to fit different tastes, whether you like smoked wings with an Alabama-style white barbecue sauce, Pepsi-glazed ribs or just a regular barbecue sandwich. The menu also includes more modern dishes such as disco fries with nacho cheese, barbecue sauce and more, pork belly corn dogs, and pork, brisket, chicken or fried-green-tomato tacos.
