Arrogant Swine has existed too long in New York City without my visit. It's promise of East Carolina whole hog barbecue should have had me long ago, as I've said ever since a trip down south years ago that this was my favorite style. I am not from the south, but have traveled through most of the places in the country to be considered good in barbecue, from coastal Carolina to Texas. I do not speak of barbecue as religion as many do, but I can respect those that preach their gospel.For me, the holiest site of barbecue was on a backroads corner of the Hemingway Highway in South Carolina at Scott's Variety Store, where the Scott family has been smoking whole hogs over wood since 1972. After being rubbed and mopped with vinegar and pepper during smoking, the meats from the whole animal are mixed and served shredded.

Everything. The pork, the sides...delish!
Great and friendly service. The outdoor patio is a great touch especially for the summer. The interior is nice and spacious. It has a dive bar feeling inside , great selection of whiskey. Lots of options for BBQ. I would say to start off small and order as you go as the portions are more than generous.
Plan on coming with a group if you’re looking to grab some food and kick back with a few buddies.
Fries were a bit on the salty.
Sandwiches were tasty.
The ribs were huge.
The BBQ sauce seems like it’s vinegar based and a bit too thin for my preference .
