Camden is full of places to get a decent bite, some are great and others are just a place to fuel up and move on. I'm not really a fan of BBQ but I think Porky's definitely falls into the great category. Their menu isn't extensive but what they do have sounds very appealing. I had to make the difficult decision between ribs and burger but in the end I compromised and went for burger with the burnt ends. This was a great choice, the burger itself is made from brisket which meant it was nice and moist and the burnt ends were soft and had just the right amount of fat. The burger was slightly on the small side and does not come with chips - I would say this place is a little on the expensive side but it is nice to know where the half decent restaurants are in Camden so you don't end up wasting your time queueing hours for a not so great place.

A favorite place to visit when in Camden and after a hearty meal. This is not a vegetarian friendly place (though they suppose to have a veggie burger), but if you love your meat smokey, tender and in large portions, you are very likely to be happy at Porky's.
The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, molded after the American BBQ places of Memphis, or so it claims. The service is friendly and quick, all of our special requests and dietary requirements were met with a smile. The food is served in those old school "Soviet Russia kindergarten nostalgia" enamel tin plates and cups, which seems to be trending trough several places in town. Hipsters, hipsters everywhere!
We ordered the signature pulled pork that is smoked for 18 hours, a porky's burger and half BBQ chicken, with sides of house salad and Iceberg wedge. The pork was saculent and tender, with strong smoky flavour, the chicken was smothered in BBQ sauce and the crispy fresh side vegetable made us feel a little bit less guilty for our gluttony.
For those who's eyes are bigger than their stomach, like myself, doggy bags were happily provided.
With no room left for dessert, we left porky's happy and full, and promised to ourselves to order less food next time!
