Pork Authority Bbq - Greentown

The staff were very friendly, and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend trying the spicy waffle!

Read all the bad reviews but decided to try them anyway. Showed up at 1:30 on a Thursday. They open at noon. The first 4 items I tried to order they were out of 3 of them including BURGERS . I told them there was no reason to be open if they didn 't have any food. There is no excuse to be out of food 1 1/2 hours after opening! Went down the road to the Greentown Grill BBQ Pit and received a great meal as usual.

We try to patronize mom and pop locations when possible. I 'd rather give our hard-earned dollars to another small business, rather than line the pockets of some big chain. Most of the time we find decent service, and often a real gem . . . this place was neither.We arrived on a summertime Friday evening about 4:45pm. It should have been a red flag that no one was dining in. There was one unhappy take-out customer waiting when we arrived. We had traveled a distance, so we rolled the dice and placed an order. Our order consisted of two sandwiches and the Pitmaster Combo. The order took 50 minutes to be ready. When it did arrive, the meat in both sandwiches was stone cold and the Pitmaster had completely different meats than what was ordered. We understand that every establishment can have an off night. However, we were told we were waiting because they were working on a catering order (which they stated was also running late). The quality of the bbq was lackluster. However, the sides were disgusting. The coleslaw was just cabbage and mayo--no zip or zing to be found. The cornbread was unpalatable. It had too much flour, and was dusted with cinnamon, which was off-putting at best. We left nearly all of it. Our son ordered carrots with his sandwich, which were both cold and rubbery (think thawed frozen carrots). The mac and cheese was the only hot side, but it appeared to be straight out of a US Foods plastic bag. It was uncreative. Though everyone was pleasant, the atmosphere seemed like a place that had been happening a long time ago, and is fizzling out. To their credit, it was clean, except for a toilet we could not figure out how to flush despite the hand-written directions.We WANT small businesses to be successful, so in case the owners peruse these reviews, here are a few tips. Don 't cater and offer dine-in service if you cannot staff both or handle both types of orders. Your BBQ was decent, a bit unoriginal, but worth eating. Serve it HOT. Offer more sauce options. Choose two or three great cuts of meat and focus on doing those well. Limit your sides to a few traditional veggies, then the deep fried foods customers prefer with bbq. Stick to a traditional cornbread. If you wish to have a bar (which looked inviting in its design), staff it. If you have posted hours, honor them. Make it clear to customers if you are providing table service or not. We had food brought out to us, but then the server left the tray on the table like it was our problem. Last, we tried you out because of your billboard, but I 'd rather you had spent your cash on the quality of product before advertising yourself. Best wishes for some self-reflection, and better days ahead.

Having the option to dine outdoors is a great advantage for the BBQ vibe. The portions are generous, but I still haven't discovered a BBQ spot that I can genuinely say I loved.

Miss leading as it is Smoked, not BBQ ribs as expected.They are working out the kinks as new owners. Hopefully quickly, because this place has great potential.
