Cashier is always friendly. Since the pit is gone the food has went down a lot. The meat seemed to be grilled then kept warm in an oven since the meat tends to be overcooked and dry. Their slogan should change since they're not smoking the meat and cooking on

I've been a fan of Porgy's for at least a decade. They have the best BBQ sauce in town, the meat is decent and the fries are wonderful. The staff is always friendly.Try a Lemon Shake-Up.It's a bit different now since the pit went away, but the food is still great.Parking: Easy to park, easy to turn out.

It was shaved pork, not pulled and didn't taste smoked at all. They too much sauce on it was super messy to eat. When I go to BBQ place, I would expect juicy pulled pork.

Ordered a brisket sandwich. What I was served was beef, that was overcooked, yet not smoked, or tenderized in any way. It was tough, cut incorrectly, and disgusting. Sorely disappointed.

Champaign-Urbana has much better BBQ options than this place. Brisket was dry and extremely thin with no visible smoke ring on any of the meat. Was closer to roast beef than real brisket. It was covered in a 'mild sauce' that could not possibly consider itself BBQ sauce. The baked beans were absolutely straight from a can. The coleslaw slightly resembled something house made, but wasn't very good either. The lemon shake-up was lukewarm lemon water with almost no sweetness at all. French fries came with the sandwich, however after eating them I wish they didn't. Not good at all.

I have always liked lil Porgys. The meal served to me today was exceptional and the service was great. I feel like there was a small change maybe recently because it was over the top today. I had chicken and ribs.

Half slab of pork ribs is the Saturday weekly special, and they never disappoint! ?
