A name like Piggin’ Aint’t Easy is a bold statement and I can say the BBQ is up to the taste you would expect. Open for about a year at the location of the old Gilt Edge Cafe. You’ll find an owner that comes out the kitchen to talk to the customers. Selected the sandwich with slaw and potato salad. While it’s a great taste, I can’t match it to anything other than a Memphis style. And speaking of that, keep your fork handy because they pile it on good here. Save room for desert. I picked the strawberry cheesecake and was thrilled with it. I’ll be back to try the ribs.

We had lunch here and it was very good. Country, southern service. But friendly and professional. Very clean and we all enjoyed our food. I recommend this place to anyone for sure.

It's nice to have a local restaurant with GREAT food! They have the best beef ribs I've ever had! Matter of fact, everything I've tried has been top notch food. The service has been great too!

Ribs were spectacular and the homemade coleslaw is some of the best I’ve had since living in TN.

We were greeted with a smile when we walked in and that was the best part of my experience. First we were told that there were no clean tables, only about 2 tables were not occupied so they were busy. We decided to get a takeout order. We placed a to-go order and then were told it would be 20-25 minutes before it would be ready. We returned 23 minutes later, after I stood there for about 5 minutes watching the waitresses and cook look at us and talk and never saying anything to us. They finally told us the food was almost up when they had to come up front to check someone out. So then about 5 minutes later they came and told me that they were out of hash browns and did we want toast instead. About this time my suspicions were confirmed they had not even started making our food. By this time half the restaurant was empty and other takeout orders were leaving, so they just didn't make ours. It took almost 35 minutes before we left with nothing. I can't tell you how the food is as we never tried anything and probably never will.

Was driving thru Millington and found this place on Google maps which was rated pretty good so We decided to try it. We both got the combo platters which was filling and great. The pickles were delicious. Excellent service!

We try and eat there after church on Sunday. Hamburgers and all the food we have eaten is great. The best is dessert, strawberry fried shortcake is our favorite. The staff are very friendly and it is reasonably priced.Parking: Lots of parking spaces

Delicious home style cooking! Pleasant staff, country ambiance, affordable menu, and short waits! Only thing is there is absolutely no cell service, it would be convenient for Wi-Fi to be made available for the kids to use while waiting.Parking: Whole dam pasture 🤣Kid-friendliness: Family oriented restaurant 😋

Had the philly tacos, meat was burnt to hell and extremely oily! Not impressed. Slaw was good, but won't make the drive again! Waitress gave excellent service!

Was greeted with a seat wherever you'd like and service was non existent after that. We ordered drinks and an appetizer to start. Drinks were brought but not the appetizer, never had an opportunity to order our meals. After 45 minutes of call ins and pick up orders being taken care of, we went ignored. You would think to take care of customers that leave a tip would be serviced before customers that wouldn't be leaving a tip at all

Oh MY!! My husband and I come here alot. This place is awesome 👍👍I will say if you want ribs(btw YUMMY) you better come on a Thursday night or Friday because they go fast even though He cooks A LOT of slabs they go fast!! His BBQ is the best! You will not be disappointed!!! Service is always with a smile and is great!!! Best place around! Great homey feeling and save room for dessert because the deep fried strawberry shortcake is a must, it's my favorite!! You should also try the deep fried Oreos! And don't forget Breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings. WOW! Love it!!

Ooooweeeee. Piggin' ain't easy. Neither is getting up from the table after eating all that good food. The Mac and cheese is so good I asked it to run away with me.But, y'all: please make your own tartar sauce for the catfish. You're too good for Heinz in the packet.

EVERYTHING we got to eat was magnificent. Some of the best food I've ever put in my face. Do yourself a favor and try it. The only bad part was how small of a place it is, only a dozen tables. We had no wait time. Be warned THERE IS NO INTERNET IN THIS AREA. Complete dead spot for Verizon and t mobile.

It was just okay, my burger was more like jerky, way over cooked, this is perhaps a BBQ place, however most all BBQ places i have eaten at you can smell BBQ, I did not smell it at this place, don't take a restroom break, very hot , no ventilation & all i did was pee!!
