Absolutely fantastic! The family that owns and runs this restaurant is extremely friendly. our hometown. The ribs were perfect without any sauce. The potato salad is a must! The Porkus Maximus was so moist and a huge serving. Smoked chicken nachos were spot on too! If that's not enough, grab the corn ribs!! These Illinois girls had an awesome time with y'all!!

Tried brisket nachos with sour cream and cole slaw - "sweet" sauce on the side. Tender, delicious brisket on tortilla chips with white cheese sauce. Service is friendly - there was a line but my carry out was prepared fairly quickly. Clay's H.O.P. does it again - Outstanding. 5 stars

Clay’s House of Pig is a must-visit for barbecue lovers! I’ve been there a few times, and it’s always fantastic. The pulled pork is tender and flavorful, the sides are delicious, and the portions are generous. The laid-back, welcoming atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to enjoy some authentic Southern BBQ. Highly recommend!

Check out the story about this hole in the wall place. It will make you want to visit it and once you eat here you will want to come back again. This is how I felt. I had the nachos and they were delicious. I love queso and theirs is so good. Priced just right and you will be full when leaving.

1st time in this town or this Bait shop- So let’s go- Started off with the incredible order taker, she was so friendly, like you are at home with family that truly loves you! The food was like when you were a kid and you dreamed of all the incredible things you were going to have for Thanksgiving, at your Grandmother’s house (But BBQ)!! The Ribs , oh so tender and the meat fell off the bone, paired with the house fries and Rib Corn (rib corn right??? It’s a corn cob cut down the middle and deep fried and seasoned - omg .....) The GF had the Pulled pork Tater, it was fantastic also! We got a Blueberry cheesecake of some sort that was a so incredible that after I tried it I couldn’t stop (I hate blueberry) but this creation of pure kitchen talent, is what a fat kids dreams are made of! Do not let the building or the parking lot fool you as this is PREFECT BBQ, the real deal!

Oh yum! Stopped at this funky joint for lunch on my way through town. Ordered full tater, fully loaded, with brisket. Wonderful and huge enough for leftovers. Also got blueberry cobbler to go. Service with friendliness and a smile.

Talk about Southern hospitality And hot damn, y'all! This was some bomb barbecue! We tried the BBQ pork nachos, brisket sandwich, and the rib tips with corn ribs, potato salad, and baked beans. When I say none of the meats were even close to dry, I am 100% honest! This is hands down the best barbecue I've ever had. Sides were fantastic and full of flavor as well. We bought a bottle of sauce to take home and will be sad that what we cook will never be as good, but hey, at least we have the sauce, right?! P.S. the cobbler made a great snack for the last leg of our trip back to Biloxi, thank you!! And one more note, we took an hour detour to see Elvis's birthplace, we might take the same route next time just to hit this spot!
