Pig-N-Chik

SANDY SPRINGS. Hickory-smoked eats and downhome blues draw big crowds to this casual 'cue joint, where the specials are written out on paper and hung in front of the counter, and the beer is always just as it should be: ice cold. Must-orders include the pulled-pork sandwich – a simple yet delicious classic, especially when it's topped off by a few hits of their vinegar-based sauce. Platters of pork, beef, turkey and chicken are available as well, each accompanied by two homemade sides (coleslaw and Brunswick stew are the best bets as far as that goes).
