Dancing Pig BBQ

Ribs are a solid 9 And i still order them about once a month
The sides however are absolutely terrible. There cheap, so your not getting ripped off but they would be much better off charging a little more and getting someone that knows how to make good cole slaw, mac & cheese, etc. Also some combinations and package deals on the menu would help them

Brisket very dry. Needs a lot of sauce, bleh.
Ribs– wet, not a lot of flavor. Let’s smoke these things !
Slaw pretty good

This place is great. Really clean and friendly. My son and I went after reading some previous reviews. My son had the chili and some chicken wings. He said it was the best chili ever, he’s 10, but it was good. I had a brisket sandwich. Also really good. Sides, old time sodas, had to bring some home too. We’ll be back.
Thanks for something different out here!

What a wonderful find! I work in Texas frequently, and this place ranks right up there with the best of the Texas BBQ places. While I’m always respectful, I’m a very tough customer when I go to restaurants. This place gets an A+ from me.
While my daughter was taking a driving test at the DMV in the same shopping center, I stopped in to give the «Dancing Pig» a try for a BBQ lunch. The food is fabulous. The ribs and pulled pork are made with a multidimensional dry-​rub of spices that is simply outstanding. Even the side of beans had a nice smoky flavor which had me hooked. They have an authentic, smoker on site.
The service was friendly and inviting. The entire place is spotlessly clean, including the bathrooms. I spoke with a man named «Wil» who I believe is the owner. We talked for several minutes about BBQ techniques, recipes and quality. This man is an afficionado, who would be the Pope or cardinal were there to be a Vatican of BBQ.
The only negative about this place is that its not located across the street from my home.
Oh, and after I ate this great lunch, my daughter passed her driving test easily. Dancing Pig leads to success? Coincidence? I think NOT.

There’s no surprise why they won The Best BBQ award from the Intelligencer (the area newspaper). The friendly, pleasant service always makes us feel like family and the comfort of the amazingly prepared barbecue stimulates our taste buds and warms our souls with comfort.
Their food is amazing, and every trip to town I stop here. The low and slow cooking from their smoker, which they affectionately call «Lulu» is apparent in the tender quality of whatever you eat here.
During the latest trip we got a large quantity of the staples: pulled pork, brisket, chicken wings, and barbecue pulled chicken. As always the combination with their sauces was right on the money: Kansas City style, Carolina style, honey habanero, and creamy horseradish. You can also get their devil dust spice blend to help give a little more kick to what you’re eating.
If we could only get them to move closer to us, all would be right with the world. Until then, I need to find more excuses to drive through Dublin for their awesome food!

I want to love this eatery as it is so close. The owners are very personable and accommodating to customers needs. The space is clean and decorated in a pleasing manner.
The store is better than most offerings in the immediate local area (diner, Chinese, pizza place) for a quick bite. But not better than the sit down Italian place that is the stand out in Dublin.
Our food was well prepared but lacked flavor that I expect from BBQ. We have tried the pulled pork and ribs.
Unfortunately, when I get the craving to take the family out for BBQ I choose to travel a distance to try new or cook my own rather than visit as a regular to this eatery. For me to go out, I want it to be special and better than what I do on my own.
I do hope this restaurant continues to experiment and evolve with their flavors.

Not bad. I was there for the first time this past weekend and I got the free cornbread. That stuff was really yummy!!! And I don’t generally like corn bread. I got the pulled chicken cheesesteak. It was alright. I thought it was going to come on a roll, not a bun. And I really think that’s why I didn’t like it that much. I also got a side of mac and cheese… while it was creamy I found it to be kind of bland. The staff is great though! So nice and accommodating. I was also surprised to see how small the place was! It was very clean though, the bathroom was really nice!

So, I was on Unilocal looking for god BBQ in the Doylestown area. My co-​workers and myself found this place. We made a big order and found they forgot to put a sandwich in the bag. We called back and they offered to refund it immediately.
Hey things happen… and when they do at our work place, we make it right. Dancing Pig went above and beyond. It’s one thing to have great food, but to care enough to have great service as well, this speaks volumes in today’s marketplace.
Through the way they handled their mistake, they have gained our business for life… I wish more businesses would work this way. They really care!
On To the food… The BBQ sauce is incredible. We have several BBQ places in Doylestown, but nothing like Dancing Pig. The minute you hit the dor, it smells so delicious. Baked beans were great… Chorizo was spicy!!! We tried the BBQ Beef Brisket Cheesesteak (off the chain!!)
I would drive the 15 minutes to get this food and place several other BBQ joints on the way
The cornbread taste like cake… I could eat a whole tray myself… It did not need any butter… it was very moist!!!
The Pit sandwich (which is like rare roast beef) was awesome. It comes with a horseradish sauce to die for. My kids loved the Mac ‘n Cheese.
Really nice family that does business the right way, plus has the best BBQ in the area… Great Job Dancing … Wish you guys great success (you deserve it)

No place compares to Dancing Pig! The food here is addicting and we eat here as often as possible. It doesn’t help that we live in Dublin so it’s usually our choice when we don’t feel like cooking.
The Cubano on the menu is my favorite along with the cucumber salad, settlers beans and the mac n cheese. The corn bread is also to die for.
It’s a must try for everyone!!!

Absolutely delicious, fairly priced and the workers are very nice. I’m sad that it took me a year to try this place, now I’m hooked!

No matter where we go, somehow we manage to find a place in which to indulge our regular cravings for barbecue. And what a pleasant surprise it was it was to find this place in the heart of gorgeous Bucks County Pennsylvania.
Beyond all the beautiful farmland, stone houses and the Delaware River, modern America and a strip mall still intrude upon one’s sensibilities. However, since that strip mall brought us to this place, we were happy.
It’s small but quite pleasant and inviting. It’s run by a husband and wife team and the pair couldn’t have been friendlier to us.
We both had the brisket sandwiches (although I skipped the bun. I just forgot to tell them to just put the brisket on the plate. I hate to waste). It was mouthwatering, tender and immensely flavorful.
The husband/​owner does the cooking and smoking of meat and was more than willing to share his culinary tips with my husband who is the our family’s griller and smoker… and always trying to extract others’ secrets!
His wife works the counter and was patient in answering our menu questions and giving us suggestions.
Other menu items include pulled pork, ribs and chicken wings… everything homemade.
There are several side dishes to order which are all a la carte. They charge extra for cornbread which isn’t typical of other barbecue places we’ve been to however it’s worth it as it is amazing. I sadly often find cornbread very dry. This was moist and very flavorful.
You order at the counter here and bus your own table when you’re through. The bathroom was impeccably clean.
Of note, were the series of black and white photographs hanging on the walls here. They feature scenes of early American settlers. I’m personally very interested in the period of time when easterners first started «heading west» so I enjoyed checking out these old photos.
If we were in Dublin Pennsylvania again in need of lunch, I’d happily return to this place.

About 6 months ago I decided to try this place. I had found it by driving by and saw the sign for BBQ.
After spending much of my life in the south I am extremely wary about BBQ joints in the North. After getting an assortment of food to go The gentleman behind the counter gave me their cornbread and cookies for my daughters who were along for the ride.
First of all. The entire place smelled faintly of wood smoke and not chemical smokesauce.
I could see the industrial smoker in the corner smoking away and giving ACTUAL smoke for the BBQ
When I got it home the ribs were spot on. the puled pork was out of this world and the shred beef was awesome. Diablo powder was hot but not as hot as expected. Very well flavored though.
All of it reminded me of some of the nicer BBQ joints in the south.

Awesome Food
have been back several times.

Maybe it is the best BBQ in town, probably since it is the _​only_​BBQ in town. I’ve had much, MUCH better locally. I think the Unilocalers who are raving about this place don’t know what they’re missing.
Take nice drive through the country up to Bangor PA if you really want REALLY good BBQ.

Awesome ribs (tried both kinds) and pulled pork sandwiches. Coleslaw was also delicious. My kids rave about the cornbread and it is also terrific. If you’re in the mood for BBQ, this is the place to go in Bucks County!

We love their full rack of ribs. We’re addicted to them. And the sides are great as well. It’s the perfect simple dinner to order ahead and pick up on way home from work. The sauce is really delicious and the meat is perfectly cooked. Try it out.

Man oh man, this place is legit. Once you open the door and smell the inside of the resturant, located in a blink-and-you’ll-miss it strip mall along Rt 313 in Dublin, PA, you’ll know you’re in the right place for good bbq. The place is small, very clean (bathrooms too!) and has a friendly, no-​frills atmosphere.
Great selection of meats here, from the standard ribs and brisket to double smoked ham and chorizo. They also have specials on Friday and Saturday from 4:30pm on… on the weekend that we stopped in (2÷22÷14), the special was a ½ pound burger made from their own blend of beef including brisket and chuck. You could even add pork belly! Other specials include a smoked ham steak. Unfortunately we got there about an hour too early. Next time…
As for our lunch, we had a half rack of ribs Dancing-​Pig style ($ 12), a brisket sandwich ($ 7), a chorizo sandwich (with a house-​made garnish made with jalapeño and cilantro, $ 3), a side of beans and slaw (about $ 2 each), and the cornbread.
Oh, the cornbread. Spongy, sweet and delicious. Best of all, The Dancing Pig gives first-​time customers their cornbread for free!
The ribs were small but delicious; «Dancing Pig» style means the house spice rub and a light brushing of sauce. Very flavorful. They also have two kinds of sauce at each table: a vinegar-​y Carolina style as well as a thick, sweet bbq sauce. Both are excellent. We were also given some of their «dust», which is a spice blend that includes habanero and ghost pepper! I used the tiniest bit on my last rib and got a nice bit of heat. I imagine using alot of this results in exploding heads and profuse sweating. Use caution.
The brisket was great! Somewhat thick slices of brisket (see photo) served on a brioche-​style roll. Nice to see a substantial sandwich roll like this instead of the cheaper potato/​white burger rolls I’ve been getting at roadside stands.
I was a big fan of the chorizo sandwich! It’s not something I often see at bbq places in the area. It’s just one sausage split and served on a simple roll (plus that garnish!), but it’s damn good and only $ 3.
The sides, particularly the cole slaw, were also great. The slaw was really creamy but we couldn’t figure out what made it special. Good stuff.
Prices overall were very reasonable; the ribs are the priciest item and they have a great variety of sandwiches (chorizo, cubano, brisket cheesesteak) that range from $ 3 to $ 8.
If you’re in this area and want good bbq there isn’t really any question that you should go straight to The Dancing Pig. The nice woman who waited on us (the owner’s wife, I think) said they’ve been rated highly amongst local eateries and word-​of-​mouth has been great, but that in general people in that area don’t want bbq. Those people are insane. This place is a must.

My first Unilocal review. My dad and I visited it on the way to a Tim Hawkins concert. Since it was our first time there we got free cornbread. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mr. E’s beans, and thought it was excellent, while my dad got the beef brisket which he said over and over again that this restaurant is the real thing.
Atmosphere was not perfect but could be worse, service was very friendly and knowledgeable about the different items there. The food was great as I said before. Only thing is it’s over an hour away from us making it unlikely that we will ever go there again. If we lived closer I would like to go more often.

Ate here last night and it was awesome. Fall off the bone, tasty ribs (go for the «Dancing Pig» rub), delicious crumbly corn bread and consistently flavorful sides including beans and cucumber salad.
The place in and of itself is unassuming but the smokey smell that fills the air when you walk in and the charming décor are perfect for a casual dinner. I’m pretty sure they do a booming takeout business, too.
Finally, don’t miss their desserts. Had the Jewish Apple Cake and it was amazing. We will be back — this is by far the best BBQ in the area.

I was raised in Texas «back when,» my wife in Kansas, so we take our BBQ seriously. Although things have been improving up here in recent years, basically the old saw has held true: Good barbecue joints in the Northeast are like Elvis sightings: You hear about them, but they never actually materialize.
Across-​the-​board good BBQ eateries in this area remained in Elvis’ domain until the Dancing Pig hoofed into Dublin awhile back. It bills itself as being Texas style, defined as, in order of importance: sausage, beans, brisket and ribs. (Good cornbread helps, too.)
Let’s dispense with Dancing Pig’s alien offerings: pulled pork, pulled chicken and ham sandwich. The pulled pork is excellent when mated with their eastern North Carolina vinegar sauce, but be careful: A little of this stuff goes a long way. We haven’t had the chicken, but their ham sandwich is excellent, especially with optional honey mustard.
As to Lone Star offerings, cowpokes rejoice: Their beans are right up there with the pure-​D best my wife and I have had anywhere. The owner could be elected Texas governor if they just gave away enough of this stuff. Supposedly they are derived from a closely held 19^th century Montana ranch recipe. Regardless, they beat nearly all of what I’ve tasted in Texas or elsewhere. Little Blazing Saddles aftermath, either.
Baby back ribs come two ways: Dancing Pig style, and what they call «Texas style,» but no burnt ends offered. The difference is in the rub, and Dancing Pig’s rub is, to me, better, although my wife likes both versions equally well. In all, these ribs are mighty good and not greasy. They don’t really need much or any additional sauce, but their KC type red sauce works with ribs if used sparingly.
Good brisket’s not hard to find, but exceptional brisket is as rare as a two-​headed armadillo. The best I’ve had was years back in Texas; it was relatively moist, with the perimeter having crumbled just enough to let the rub penetrate a bit within the meat, not just along the edge.
That was brisket from the hands of angels. For brisket by mortals, Dancing Pig does pretty well. Even without the crumbling edge and as much moisture as is ideal, it fares better than most and mates well with their KC-​style sauce — the accompanying buns are excellent, too.
Sausage? Alas, not offered. They emphasize that they don’t freeze anything, ever. They have yet to find a supplier that can provide sausage using their own recipe, yet in small enough batches to be kept fresh without freezing.
They round things out with various baked goods. All we’ve tried is their cornbread, which is mainstream. Haven’t tried their sides and probably never will — no room left after pigging out on ‘cue and beans.
Even without sausage, Dancing Pig is the area’s finest — even better than most in Houston and Kansas City. Pig out, then dance!

The real deal, eastern PA folks! Authentic BBQ. Had the ribs, which were quite large and fall off the bone good. Also had the brisket sand. A little on the dry side, which prevents a 5-​star review but overall really tasty. Packed me extra sauce in my to-​go cup, which I used for other food the next day :) Sweet hole-​in-​the-​wall place.
