AMERICAN BARBEQUE WITH AN ASIAN TWIST

The Improper Pig isn’t your average BBQ joint. Here, we blend the smoky

traditions of American BBQ (from the Carolinas to St. Louis) with the rich vibrancy of Asian cuisine.

The result? Savory, tangy, spicy, tender, mouthwatering dishes that bring the heat and pack a flavor punch. Led by two culinary mavericks set on exploring the best flame-cooked fare from around the world, we’ve been a Charlotte-area staple since 2014. Now, ten years and two locations later, we’re still rubbing butts and getting saucy in the heart of North Carolina.

WHAT MAKES US IMPROPER.

Don’t worry–we’re family-friendly! The “improper” in our name speaks to

the fact that we don’t always play by the rules of traditional, American BBQ. There’s already plenty of BBQ purists out there keeping it classic. We wanted to try something different.

Our menu features a mix of traditional BBQ, Asian-fusion and veggie-friendly options so everyone’s sure to find something they love. For us, it’s all about serving up flavor. We don’t get too hung up on doing things by the book—as long as it tastes great and brings people together, we’re always happy to get a little improper.
