Use to be one of my favorite places in Russellville to eat since we don’t have many options. They don’t serve bbq all the time like they use to which is a shame. I went thru the drive thru a couple months ago, I ordered the friend chicken plater, I paid and then was told they have to change the grease out really? That’s something you do before you open I said ok they told me to wait in front of the parking lot which I did, 20 mins go by and still haven’t gotten my food, I was annoyed and hungry, I said to myself to go get my money back, I talk to the lady at the ordering menu and told her I’d like a refund, another lady comes out and said it’ll be right out. I said to them that I would just like a refund please, so I they say pull up to the window so I did, a man I assume the owner of the establishment opened the window and handed me my money back, his face said it all, he looked like he was about to blow his top, I said thank you and drove off, I then went to McDonald’s. Idk why the man had such a temper with me, why like seriously why it doesn’t take that long to fry chicken and the fact that they said they had to change the grease out at 2 in afternoon didn’t make no since at all.
Love the Speedy Pig! They have great BBQ here and a nice staff. Sometimes the tables aren't very clean or are wet from being wiped off but most of the time it's not a problem to find a free one that's clean enough. If I'm in Russellville and have time to take a full lunch this is where I'll be going. I've been eating here for about a decade and never have had a bad experience.
Affordable, fast, great BBQ for money can't go wrong. I've been eating here for over 30 years, never failed me on quality. Big parking nearby, other handy businesses within the same block. If you're trying to sample BBQ of the area, this is a Northwest Alabama must.
Ate lunch there yesterday. Was very much disappointed that they no longer pork or beef and now only have chicken. Huh? I asked why they were doing this and the answer was "that chicken is more healthy." I went outside to check their sign on the building and to see if the picture of the pig was still there. It was. Good luck with this biz strategy. My guess is it won't last long.
Love the food and service !!! Chicken fingers and sauce are awesome but I REALLY miss the smoked chicken being full time on the menu !! I truly wish they would bring it back ... I wish they would stay open an hour or so later and on Saturday’s !!! I have always had a wonderful experience when i have ate there !!! P.S. PLEASE CONSIDER BRINGING THE SMOKED CHICKEN HALVES BACK!!! PLEASE !!!
It seems like speedy pig has gone downhill in the past couple years. However, the signature speedy pig sauce is worth the visit. It's really tasty. The food is great but it's not what it used to be. Staff is friendly on most days. Prices are fair.
Food is not that good salty at best really no flavor had to load the sandwich with got sauce to give it a good taste! For $7.50 for a sandwich and very little fries I expected more feed the rest of my meal to my dog!!
This place is a family favorite! Whenever we visit family in Russellville, it is a tradition to eat at Speedy Pig and take home some sauce. We love their chicken fingers, cheese sticks, fries, and fried okra.
