2025 Best BBQ: The Pink Pig

May 17, 2025 | Ellijay

Congratulations to The Pink Pig for winning Best BBQ in the 2025 Ellijay Restaurant Week! 🏆✨

Since 1967, the Pink Pig in Cherry Log has been a beloved stop for both locals and travelers craving true Southern barbecue. From their signature garlic salad to slow-smoked pork plates, The Pink Pig serves classic, comforting meals that generations have loved.

Start your meal with a basket of crispy, golden fried pickles, then dive into Bubba’s Brisket Nachos — a savory plate piled high with tender brisket, melted cheese, and their homemade cheese sauce. If you’re in the mood for a time-honored favorite, you can’t go wrong with a pork plate and two sides, or the garlic salad loaded up with fresh brisket. (Pro tip: save some extra garlic sauce for your potatoes!) 🐖
