Taxi In By Plane Or Car To The Pik N Pig Bbq In North Carolina

When we say people taxi in to the Pik N Pig BBQ restaurant in Carthage, North Carolina, we don’t mean they arrive in the back seat of one of those fancy Ubers. Although, if you wanted to take an Uber, you probably could, or you can even drive yourself here in your own vehicle. But the real entertainment of this remote BBQ joint lies in the small private airport found just outside of the eatery.

It’s a small airfield that sees a surprising number of people who fly in just to have a taste of the flavorful selections found at the Pik N Pig.
