Lil' Piggy's Authentic Specialties

It is said that "the way to every man’s heart is through his stomach," and he will undoubtedly agree. From the hard–working, blue-collar tough guy to the refined businessman, all have the same basic need: food!

Located in Coronado’s Ferry Landing and open since 2008, Lil’ Piggy’s Bar-B-Q brings all the flavor of a Memphis-style barbecue straight to San Diego. Inspired by a family tour through the most notable BBQ joints in Memphis, the Carolinas, Kansas City and more, Lil’ Piggy’s offers authentic specialties, blues music, red-checkered tablecloths and impressive park and bay views. The menu features fall-off-the-bone servings, combo plates and juicy "sam-iches," as well as a tasty selection of à la carte options, sides and a "Lil’ Piglet’s" menu for kids. The sit-down, casual restaurant uses pure hickory wood to flavor and cook the meats, which are offered either "dry" with sauce served on the side or "wet" with sauce applied directly on the meat.

Adhering to the philosophy that "BBQ is a technique not a sauce—the sauce has to complement the technique"—a great deal of attention is paid to each offering through a low-and-slow smoking style. As part of the thorough process, the restaurant’s signature pulled pork is made from whole bone-in shoulders and smoked for 12 hours.(bluebridgehospitality.com)
