The Whistlepig BBQ is owned and operated by Jason and Melissa Strotheide. Began in September 2016, The Whistlepig BBQ is located in the original industrial area of Charlotte, MI. Snugged into a 1930’s era gas station, The Whistlepig is a seasonal BBQ stand that focuses on making quality food from scratch. Well-known for standard bbq items such as pulled pork, brisket and ribs, much of the menu changes each week and we’re only open Friday and Saturday….unless we’re not. Not unlike many of the traditional BBQ stands you would find in the southeastern parts of the USA, we only make what we think we will need each day and when it’s gone, it’s gone. We highly encourage our visitors to get in the door early.
Based on 181 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.8 stars. Price

Ordered food for a graduation party. Customer service was excellent and super easy to work with. Everyone loved the delicious pulled pork with a variety of sauces, as well as the Mac and cheese. Highly recommended!

We went with the knowledge that some of the menu might be unavailable due to the fact that we went around 5:30 on a Friday but it didn’t appear that anything was sold out! We all were able to get what we wanted AND they specially made meal not on their menu for a family member who has a spice allergy. The best part is, we didn’t even ask them to do that, they just offered to accommodate us. The food comes out in little containers that make you think it won’t be enough, but it definitely is enough and it was amazing! I would highly recommend this place especially if you want to go outside the norm

Better than any BBQ you can find in lansing by alot. Maybe it was a good cut. Maybe its skill. These guys are the real deal. Brisket is second to none. Ribs excellent and pink all the way through yet still very moist with a good amount of pull off the bone. Pit beans some of the best i have had. Faygo redpop in the cooler. Tons of sauce choices. Decent pricing. Daily specials. Nice folks. What more could you ask for?

By far not worth the $. BBQ is horrible in my opinion, brisket super fatty. I got 1lb 1/2 lb was pure fat! Ribs over cooked so dry, smoked chicken was good flavor but dry dry as well. They did have decent sauce.

If you want some seriously good barbeque, this is the place. I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich here.

The brisket was really good, especially the burned ends. Liked the array of sauces, especially the mango.

A tiny hole in the wall bbq place that I was lucky to find. Food is really great. The beans and loaded fries were delicious and the smoked brisket fattie was to die for!

We had a great experience at Whistlepig! The food was outstanding (I had the Trainwreck fries w/ chicken), the staff was friendly and accommodating. They even made a dish special for one of our family who has pepper allergies.

Hands down the best BBQ I’ve ever had outside of Texas. The chef is phenomenal, every dish I’ve had here is awesome, well cooked and more than worth the money. The hot sauces from bourbon to mustard to Ride the Lightning or Napalm are all different flavors and fitting depending on your preference or spice tolerance. Either way the rack of ribs is my favorite dish with a side of coleslaw. Might be a long wait but it is well worth it.
