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.

My husband and I were out riding our motorcycles and decided to stop for lunch. The whole experience was amazing. The restaurant staff were very welcoming and friendly. Our waitress was attentive and very nice. The food was delicious! The atmosphere and decorations were awesome. We will definitely be back!

The food was delicious, hot and tender. Mac and cheese, potato salad and baked beans are a must. A little out of the way, but well worth the drive. Follow them on Facebook and find out about their secret menu.

Amazing diamond in the rough! Totally worth the minor excursion off the beaten path. I'm so glad we went for the first time tonight, it definitely won't be our last. Follow on Facebook for specials as well.

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.

Best bbq we’ve had in a while and the cheese burger is amazing! Gotta get the double it’s a giant!!

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.

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.

Super friendly. Love their food. It's a bit of a drive but so worth it!

Great food and really great service. Was with a big party and only one waitress but she was great. Everyone got service in a timely manner. Will be returning.

Best "fall off the bone" ribs, great sauce, delicious fried green tomatoes, friendly staff and the fried desserts are irresistible. Definitely worth the drive.

From food truck to brick and mortar this place has been good for a long time! The BBQ is what you better than anything I have had in a long time. It was moist, tender, and lots of flavor!

Cozy atmosphere, well portioned plates and reasonable prices. Excellent smoked chicken - although I can't eat pork, it smelled delicious. Do fried desserts are excellent
