DUMFRIES, Va. – The Lazy Pig BBQ and Catering is a southern carry-out restaurant located off of U.S. 1 in Dumfries. The restaurant is housed in a small, rambler house that has been converted into a commercial space.
At The Lazy Pig BBQ and Catering, barbecue lovers will find their favorites like macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, cornbread, and collard greens. The Lazy Pig’s ribs, pulled pork, and briskets are all smoked on site in their two large smokers that sit in front of the restaurant.
The owner, Ken Harris, created Lazy Pig BBQ and Catering in 2005. Before opening his business, Harris gained a lot of experience cooking for his friends and family.
Now after nine years, Harris said that customers still love the ribs, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens. Besides being local residents, much of the reason why Harris, last November, chose Dumfries to open The Lazy Pig’s newest location is that outside of Woodbridge and Stafford, finding barbecue restaurants independent of fast food was difficult. Harris said that there needed to be a home cooked barbecue restaurant that could be convenient for residents.
The Lazy Pig, said Harris, is all about providing excellent customer service with high quality food. The Lazy Pig also prides itself on efficiency so that customers are in and out in the shortest amount of time. Overall, Harris said that he wants customers to know that The Lazy Pig BBQ and Catering cares about its customers and their needs.
The Lazy Pig BBQ and Catering is located at 17530 Waters Lane, Dumfries, VA, 22026. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It is open Wednesdays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. Sundays from 12 p.m. – 7 p.m. For more information call 703-221-4511.
