The Blu Pig

About This Establishment

Moab’s Blu Pig delivers a bluesy, smoke-kissed BBQ hammer. Baby Back Ribs fall-off-the-bone with a crackly bark; Pulled Pork stays moist and deeply smoky, with KC or garlic-black pepper sauces. Smoked Prime Rib shows up after 5 PM on weekends, tender and juicy with proper doneness. Generous portions invite a doggie bag, and the scene hums with live blues and indigo lighting.

At a Glance

The Order Strategy

Skip the basic Pulled Pork Sandwich, go straight for Baby Back Ribs. For beer, order a local tap; if seeking a stronger bite, a whiskey from the full bar pairs well with the smoke.

The Vibe Check

Post-Hike HQ with a blues soundtrack. It is loud, energetic, and very MOAB; good for groups and live music, not ideal for quiet Zoom calls

The Crowd Factor

Peak crowds on weekends; bar seating speeds things up; arrive early or grab takeout to dodge the rush

What Diners Say

Texture and flavor notes dominate: ribs that fall-off-the-bone, tender moist pork, and well-seasoned meats with tangy-pepper sauces. A few diners noted some dishes are just okay, but portions are consistently generous and the bluesy ambiance amplifies the meal.
