    Restaurant info

    In 2014, two culinary connoisseurs in the Carolinas came together to explore the endless bounds of BBQ styles from around the world. Bringing together their favorite flavors of the flame, The Improper Pig was born. The love of rubbing butts and getting saucy calls to an extra special community of people from all over the states to celebrate all things BBQ. Whether you love it St. Louis Style, Carolina 'cued or with an Asian flare, we've got you covered at The Improper Pig.
