Since opening on September 6th, 1978, The Smokey Pig
Restaurant has become a landmark for local residents and
travelers who appreciate its "elegantly informal"
atmosphere and fine home cooked foods.
The building that houses The Smokey Pig dates back to
1927, when it was built as a general store, with lodging
upstairs. Robert S. Jeffers purchased the building in
July of 1978. After just six weeks of renovations The
Jeffer's family opened for business. The name "The
Smokey Pig" came from many family attempts to create a
catchy name for their barbecue restaurant. "The Pig" is
not only famous for its Hickory Smoked Barbecue, but for
the vast variety of home cooked and southern style meals
made on premises daily.
Thanks for visiting us today. We hope that you have
enjoyed yourself. Please take some time to visit us at
the restaurant and see the many "Pig" items that are on
display. Many of these items were gifts from the many
people who "Dig the Pig"!
