Prohibition Pig - Restaurant & Brewery

Just ate there for the first time. Can’t wait to go back! Food was a 10 out of 10 for me. I believe their current rating is too low. I got a brisket that had the perfect crust, texture and flavor…mmmm. Loved the cornbread, Cole slaw, beans and pickles! My hubby got the Pastrami sandwich and loved it. (He added mayo to his) . The servers were so nice. Loved the look of the restaurant too. We were there at opening (4PM) so it was quiet, but we tried to eat there last night and the line was out the door, so ai know it gets busy.

On a drive in from Montréal we were looking for a place to eat and stumbled on this resto. the amazing aroma from their smoker drew us in, and it definitely did not dissapoint. Impecable service, and the food was delicious. The hot sauce was so good, I threatened to steal the bottle if they didn't sell it to me! If you like BBQ you need to eat here.

The food and drinks were amazing! However upon arrival we were not greeted at the door until about 8-10minutes of waiting. They ended up not having a table so we sat at the bar and had an amazing time! Very cool drink menu. The brisket and duck fat fries were so delicious. I loved the 3 different sauces to choose from. Will be back!

Really great bbq, you can see the smokers working in the back before you come in. Extremely knowledgeable staff, knew all the ingredients of menu items without asking kitchen.

Delicious food and food portions. I highly recommend buying the farm if you are 2+ people. It lets you try a bit of everything.

The bbq sauces are also delicious and very decently priced considering the size of the jar.

This place is great! First time coming here, and I'm gonna be going back for sure. I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were super nice and welcoming. I ordered the pro pig burger, and it was delicious 😋 I couldn't believe how thick those bacon slices were. The french fries on the side were fried in duck fat, and they were super crunchy and good. So tender and juicy, great flavor. Good beers on tap, too 👍

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Prohibition Pig, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The speak-easy environment adds a unique touch to the ambiance, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. I ordered the brisket, and it was nothing short of perfection – flavorful and tender, a true delight for the taste buds. The staff was not only attentive but also extremely friendly, making the overall dining experience memorable. Prohibition Pig is a must-visit for those seeking delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Stopped in for a beverage the first time, fantastic beer and cider. Came back for the best brisket I’ve ever had, and more beer and cider as well. Everyone is friendly and the service is second to none.

This place rocks! Hubby and I were visiting from NY and came here our last night for dinner. We had the brisket, a side of pork, a side of Cole slaw, smoked mushrooms and the duck fat fries. Everything was superb. The mushrooms...amazing. The brisket was cooked to perfection.
Our waitress, Amy, provided phenomenal service (thank you!).
The place was packed, and after eating, I can see why. Even the music was great :)

This place made several lists for "The Best Burger in Vermont" and they did not disappoint! It was absolutely amazing and instantly made my top 10. We came all the way from Texas with the intent of eating this burger! My wife, however, opted for the brisket nachos and they were phenomenal as well. The Duck Fat Fries were spectacular. They were hot, crispy, and fresh. I will definitely be returning!

I haven't been here in about a year and it was even better than before. The brisket was smoked to perfection, the sauce was awesome and the drink I ordered was amazing. Also our server Emma was awesome! She provided awesome service and was as genuine as they come. Definitely will be back soon.

Wonderful New years evening dinner and drinks. Everything about this place was delightful. The atmosphere, the service, the drinks, and the food blew our minds. I highly recommend the wings, Mac and cheese topped, and homemade ice cream! 😋I can't wait to drive 2.5 hours to come back. It's absolutely worth it!

Great burger, fast service. One of the places to eat around town. After a long day of hiking in the woods, that burger was exactly what I needed to hit the spot, cause you know what they say: a burger is good after a hike! Bout to go home now and play some disc.

The barbecue was on point. Brisket was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The duck fat fries were delicious. The home made ice cream from their sister restaurant “Hen of the Woods” is incredible. The staff was very attentive and nice. Would recommend.

After a rather disappointing day in Waterbury, we decided to give Pro-Pig a shot, we opted to sit at the bar to avoid a wait and had delicious seltzers. The Bartender took his time to explain specials and items not available. I had the ribs, boyfriend had the pastrami sandwich both 10/10!!

Really fantastic experience the entire way through. If you’re planning to come, BE PREPARED TO WAIT! But it is WORTH THE WAIT. I’d recommend coming a little before you’re ready to eat, you can go get a drink in the brewery behind and also shop at the craft beer store across the street. Cocktails are great and big beer and wine selection. Definitely finish the meal with housemate limoncello. We got A LOT of food and all of it was delicious. Top 5 of what we got:
1. Chicken Wings - I think we ate these too quick to get a photo. They were dry rubbed and so so tender and flavorful. Very crispy.
2. Roasted carrots - they tasted like they were smoked and had a subtle but delicious maple glaze.
3. Pickle Plate - beets 11/10
4. Baked Beans - warms your entire insides.
5. Duck fat fries - perfectly crisp

HONORABLE MENTION - the ranch is one of the best I’ve ever had and the garlic aioli that came with the fries.

The staff was super friendly and quick. They were knowledgeable about allergies and tons of gluten free options available.

What else can be said about the pig. I have been traveling all over the country, visiting new towns and always looking for good bbq or just good food and atmosphere. Pro Pig has literally redefined what we all know as good bbq and food. It is astonishing that you can taste all the care and passion that is put into every plate here…and to make things worse (better), the service is impeccable. Make sure to reserve a spot in line (look above this review of a link) because it does get busy. The pig is alive and well in Vermont, and Pro Pig is the barn that keeps these pigs happy…including their customers.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Read the reviews and tried it. The best smoked wings I’ve ever had! Mac and cheese was well made, smoked meats was perfectly smoked and seasoned. Even the salad with the maple vinegrette was a great surprise. And duck fat fries are to die for! Only thing I didn’t like as much was the pickled carrot. Was expecting fresh carrot to dip in my ranch and was weird to bite in to a pickled one. Service as fantastic! Recommend you do wait list vs. just showing up! It’s easy to do and saves you from waiting in the restaurant.

4.29.23 The restaurant is in one building and the brewery is next door. Both serve Grub and Brews but different menus. Be prepared to wait to be seated in the restaurant. We had to pay for parking too. But if you want a unique experience with great food and drinks, definitely stop by.

Tender, fall-apart, melt in your mouth meats with a good selection of sides. Juicy house brewed beers, delicious cocktails, plus a robust back bar selection. Our server was friendly and attentive. A must visit when in Waterbury. Great vibes.

Drove all the way from Montreal to get the famous Mac N Cheese. The customs officer told us it was its favorite restaurant, so our bar was high. It ended up being SO GOOD. We ordered 3 meal to share, drinks, fries and an appetizer. It was deliciouuussss. We highly recommend. Make sure to come during diner hour, after 4pm. Enjoy!
