The Pig Bar-B-Q has been a fixture on Lem Turner Road in North Jacksonville for decades, drawing a loyal local crowd to a wood-paneled dining room that prizes generous portions and friendly counter service over flash. The setting is straightforward — paper-towel rolls on the tables, a chalkboard of specials, and the smell of hickory in the air — and the prices stay firmly in the affordable range that earns its single-dollar-sign Google rating.
Order the slow-smoked pork ribs, which arrive heavy on the bone with a thin tomato-and-vinegar sauce on the side. The pulled-pork sandwich and fried shrimp basket are the other two dishes regulars point newcomers toward, and the kitchen also turns out fried fish, baked beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, and collards. Portions are large enough that most plates leave the dining room as a half-eaten takeout box.

Reservations are not taken — seating is first-come, first-served — and the dining room is indoors only, so dogs are not permitted on the premises.
