everthing bad

by johneh

this is the worst excuse for a resturant ive ever seen .we ordered the chicken parmasean it looked like can noodles with frozen tomatoe sauce and the chicken was burnt and small with no breading . eight dollars for my drink which was all ice. place is a over crowded smoke fest ,women and men were using each others restrooms.and u get charged a cover charge for the band whether your eating or not.the young man at the door was very nice and apologized ,something the manager was not willing to do .maybe the door guy should teach him some public relation skills

• Pros: there are none
• Cons: u have a choice to go somewhere else , use it

Great band, good food

by shell714

The food and service were pretty good. The dance floor is a little too small. The band, Randy and the Suedes, were exceptional. However, the smoke was just...SO...bad. We would have liked to stay longer, but we just couldn't take the smoke. The Murf. Pig either needs better venilation or a no smoking policy like the Franklin Bunganut Pig. I won't be going back until one or the other happens.

• Pros: Great band, pretty good food
• Cons: heavy smoke

decent food and prices, great music!

by preacherbiker

Was there on a Monday and the place was pretty slow. Food was good but the dance floor was REALLY small but the band was great! Check them out when "Phoenix Rising" is playing.

• Pros: Good music.
• Cons: kind of small

Dirty and smokey

by kathynee

I don't suggest this place at all. The bathroom was filthy, the kitchen didn't look very clean either. When I mentioned it to the bartender she just rolled her eyes at me. The smoke is so thick you can hardly breathe. The owner is a loud mouth that is too busy getting drunk to take care of his customers. He started an argument with my husband over politics. The food was so-so...not bad, but nothing spectacular. I'd rather eat at Chili's or Applebee's. The live music is a nice touch but doesn't make up for the negatives.

The Pig is the place to be

by jillyjoe

The Pig has the BEST entertainment! Do check out The Respectables and of course Clarence Dobbins. A great place for people looking for good music and not a pick up club. The fried pickles are awesome.

• Pros: Fairly inexspensive
• Cons: smallest dance floor

nice change

by jj7627

A nice change of scenery from the boro college crowd. A strange mix of people. A little crowded, but altogether a nice atomosphere for the boro.

• Pros: friendly waitress
• Cons: rude door person
