Porky's Bbq - Arlington Heights

We had a great first experience at this restaurant. The server was friendly and helpful. We recommend trying the Carolina Gold and Alabama White BBQ sauces, both of which are unique and delicious. The sweet BBQ sauce was also a hit. We didn't get to try the spicy sauce this time, but maybe next time. The Saturday specials offer large portions, and we suggest taking advantage of the buy one, get one free deal on pastries. We enjoyed the Pecan Pie and Bread Pudding. We were so full from our meal that we only ate half of the fries and took the leftover dessert home. The restaurant is cute and clean, and we will definitely be back when we're in the area again.

I was not happy when I left Porky's. Having ordered online ahead of my visit, I was looking forward a nice BBQ dinner. On arrival, I let them know my name and watched for the next 20+ minutes as patrons came and went, most having also ordered in advance. Finally, the (presumably) high school kid picked up a bag out of the warmer and said my name. (Audible grumble) I had actually asked him earlier, as well, if my order was ready and he ignored me. With that unpleasantness out of the way.... I ordered a brisket sandwich topped with coleslaw, mac-n-cheese, and some beer-battered cheese curds. Despite having sat in a warmer for at least 20 minutes. It was all delicious. Really outstanding. Well, the curds were okay but probably would have been better with 30 seconds in my microwave. I had the spicy sauce. With some sweetness and combined with the coleslaw topping, it was great. I will likely order the exact same thing next time around.

Awesome Experience...I tried the ribs and Pastrami...very high quality BBQ, each rib was like a mini bone in pork chop..in other words...high quality pork ribs .The Pastrami is one of the best around. The Carolina Gold sauce goes well with it. What also impressed me was the Mac and cheese and the baked beans....they were the only sides I tried but again....they use great quality ingredients as well as putting the time and care into making them stand out...I travel a lot and sample many a BBQ place...these guys are doing it right...so many places skimp on the sides or use average quality and cuts and expect their reputation or sauce to carry them..I am looking forward to trying more from the menu...hoping they keep it going because the area needs good BBQ

Catered with Porky’s for Mother’s Day celebration. We are outside their delivery zone so sent the hubby to pickup. When he got back I noticed that there was missing coleslaw but no big deal. A few minutes later I got a call from them that they forgot to pack it and said they would send it up right away. I insisted it wasn’t a big deal but they also insisted it was and that they were going to make it right. They sent it right away via delivery. Their customer service is just so on point that we’ll definitely be repeat customers… and I mean the food was great too so that helps! :

I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for those with large families and a group of friends who enjoy hanging out and bonding. The food here is unique, high quality, and incredibly delicious. Every item on the menu is mouth-watering, freshly cooked, and phenomenal. The portions are generous and the presentation is creative. The restaurant offers a wide variety of options and deals that will satisfy your cravings at an affordable price. The staff is kind, friendly, and professional, providing outstanding service. Porky's BBQ is a hidden gem in Arlington Heights that shouldn't be missed. I can't wait to visit again soon. Thank you for the wonderful experience! 5 stars all the way! Keep up the great work!
