The Messy Pig BBQ

The Messy Pig BBQ Company is a family‑owned barbecue catering and food‑truck operation tucked into the historic town of Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania. Founded by Daryl and Melissa, who have been married for 28 years, the business grew from Daryl’s early food‑service career and a 2019 vision to bring authentic smoked meats to local events. Their menu showcases slow‑smoked ribs, juicy brisket, pulled pork, and house‑made sides like coleslaw and baked beans, all prepared in a mobile kitchen that frequents festivals, farmers markets, and private parties. The Messy Pig’s flagship location sits at 109 East High Street, just a few blocks from the Womelsdorf train station and the scenic Tulpehocken Creek, making it a convenient stop for tourists exploring Lancaster County. Catering services extend to weddings, corporate gatherings, and community celebrations, with customizable packages and on‑site grilling. Guests can expect a relaxed, rustic atmosphere with reclaimed‑wood tables, string lights, and the aroma of hickory smoke drifting over the patio. The team handles bookings by phone (717‑418‑5294) or email (themessypigbbq@gmail.com) and maintains an active Facebook page for daily updates and menu specials. While the food‑truck operates by appointment, the catering kitchen is open Monday through Saturday for order preparation, with price ranges from $15 per person for casual gatherings to $35+ for full‑service events. The Messy Pig’s dedication to quality and community has earned a 4‑star rating from 43 Google reviewers, cementing its reputation as one of Pennsylvania’s most trusted BBQ providers.
