Pig Whistle Inn - Andover

Finally came to check out the Pig Whistle Inn with friends after going to the Christmas market at the Fairgrounds today. We were told that it is very common that the 'Pig ' was often out of a number of items at their bar food menu, which in their experience included ice, beer varieties and food items.... but they had good wings. Boy did we have a good laugh when our server told us they had no draft beer or bourbon whiskey or one of the special drinks, because of a party they had the night before pulled pork either. What bar runs out of bourbon?? So we ordered 2 flavors of wings and 4 burgers, both of which were very good, but the tray they came on were ice cold and so were the buns. Our server was very pleasant and the atmosphere was comfortable. Giving three stars because of the history of not having items and delivering on that legacy. Can 't decide if we 'll go back.

Great local restaurant with good food. Small but cozy interior.. Their brisket is really good and have a good variety of wings selection with a lot of dry rub options. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area or living close by.

The food is awesome! Great BBQ! The signature drink was delicious! My husband burger had lots of bacon. The wings are literally the best wings I have ever had. The brisket was delicious! Also, the cheesecake tastes completely homemade! Loved everything! Our waitress Sarah was cheerful and awesome! I love the outside atmosphere! Great kids menu! My family was happy! I was definitely happy! I will definitely be back!

I was in the area and had had a need for BBQ. Did a Google search on maps and to my surprise found this place. It was in an area I would not think a restaurant would be. Residential. I took a drive over, parked and went down toward the backyard. I wanted sit outside and found the entire backyard was the restaurant. We ordered and enjoyed watching the orders coming out for other tables. It all looked so good. Our order came and enjoyed our selections. Everything was very tasty. There was a musician on a stage singing country music. Not really a fan but he was good. The prices was about what you would expect for BBQ. Went home with a smile on my face. I definitely will stop in again when I'm in the area.

Cold food. Slow service. Small/overpriced portions. Hair in meat. I 'd like to believe that my friends I came on a bad day. All of our food was cold upon arrival and the appetizer portions (Nachos Fried Pickle chips) are SMALL for the cost. Service was also very slow. We ordered pulled pork and ribs. The meat was cooked well but was cold upon arrival. Additionally the BBQ sauce was very sweet without much flavor. One of us found hair in the pulled pork. The corn bread was very dry. I have eaten at other BBQ places in the region. For the cost, we could have gotten higher quality food more reasonable portions at other nearby establishments
