The Iberian Pig Reviews

Outstanding dinner. Food was superb as was the ambiance and wait staff. Easy parking and lively fun atmosphere and crowd. Cannot rave enough. Our waitress, Aqeelah, was outstanding.

Tried verious tapas plates, and main courses. All was good - service was exceptional with attantive and professional waitresses team that did a very good job

Ate inside but no one was around us. Dyan was a great server. I had an excellent cocktail and pork cheek tacos. Portions too big for me and I couldn't share because my son and. husband have celiac disease. They had no problem getting gluten-free meals. My only problem was my dishes were too salty for my taste

This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend and surely did not disappoint! Service was fast, friendly efficient, and on point. The server was knowledgeable of the dishes and knew what was in each dish. Many tapas dishes were standouts ….. in particular the octopus, mussels and the empenadas. There was one item we tried that didn’t see on the menu that they offered that was phenomenal. The bacon wrapped dates approached divinity .The manager Mallory checked in on us and made sure we were being well taken care of and made us feel at home. The restaurant was very upscale and delivered on the Iberian vibe and most importantly, the excellent tapas experience. Bravo 🙌. We will be back!

Friends from out of town wanted to try this new outpost of The Iberian Pig. One of us had previously been to the one in Decatur, so we were all game for the new Buckhead location. We arrived at our appointed reservation time of 7:45 on a Wednesday night. The place was very lively, but not stupid crowded. It's a very cool space, but not so overdone that that's all you can focus on. We were definitely there for the food. We brought our own wine-they have a very generous BYO policy that you should look into before going. Once we were seated, Frederico (the owner) was quick to come with wine glasses for the table so that we could start enjoying our evening. We ordered a little bit of everything-isn't that what a Tapas restaurant is all about?! We started with a charcuterie board with queso. Portions were not huge, but the flavors were awesome. We were having Tapas afterwards, so no one was going to leave hungry. We had a lot of the tapas plates between the 4 of us, and really the only one that was slightly disappointing was the octopus. Otherwise, all the rest were very flavorful and enjoyable. I think we ordered a total of 10 tapas plates, but I definitely lost track. For dessert, we split the Tres Leches-it was RICH and delicious! We had excellent service-a nice shoutout goes to Sidney, our server for the evening. It didn't hurt that Frederico made a few appearances at the table. He's very engaging and you can tell he's happy to have you there! Service was wonderful. Only thing I could think to "complain" about was that they didn't bring serving utensils with each/any of the dishes. I love sharing food, but I'm not a fan of double-dipping. For some people this would be an issue; for others, a total non-issue. They were happy to bring utensils once I asked for them. If it's one of your "things", just remember to ask for serving utensils when you order. We had a wonderful evening, and we'll definitely go back.

We had a great waiter, cannot remember her name, unfortunately. The recommendations of food and wine were great. I would highly recommend.

The Iberian Pig lived up to expectations. Excellent food, tremendous wine selection and fabulous service. Only issue we had was the high noise level, but you can’t have everything, can you?

Delicious and fun evening with friends. The tapas are authentic and wonderful for sharing. We paired them with some delicious red Spanish wines. Our waiter did a great job of describing the different charcuterie items and helped us select the right ham and cheeses for a wonderful tasting.

We had never been to the Buckhead location and haven’t been to the Decatur location in about 8 years and realized what we’d been missing. The food and service were outstanding! The Pulpo was some of the best I’ve had anywhere. We will definitely be back!

Want to have a taste of Spain in the Buckhead sect of Atlanta? Then the Iberian Pig is the place to go. Our daughter, who studied one summer in Spain, was very familiar with many of the dishes on the menu. We ordered a number of small plates including Albindigas which is pork meatballs in chili sauce, Pulpo consisting of Spanish Octopus, flamenco sauce and marble potatoes and Gambis Al Ajillo Argentinian red shrimp, sherry garlic butter sauce and grilled sour dough. All were excellent. Finally, the last part of our meal was their paella consisting of bomba rice, Argentinian Red Shrimp, chicken, chorizo and seasonal vegetables. Some of the best paella I have ever had. For dessert we shared a chocolate ice cream dish that was delicious. The wine was very good and our waiter was excellent. Overall an excellent dining experience. This is a must place to visit to experience a taste of Spain.

We enjoyed take out from the Iberian Pig during the stay at home phase of the pandemic. Our son was looking for something different for his birthday dinner and the Iberian Pig did the trick!! We have enjoyed dining at some of the other tapas restaurants around town, but we were particularly impressed by the Iberian Pig. Our favorites (get ready, it's a long list): empanadas de carne - perfectly crunchy crust and delicious filling mac n cheese - Wow! fideos - hands down, best dish! Creamy and rich pasta! pork cheek tacos - we fought over the last bite of the braised pork!! The best part was that everything was expertly packed for take out and nothing was overdone due to being carried out.

Reservations and avoid a crowd although wait time was negligible for us. Seated on arrival and so well taken care by the hugely informative staff. Our waiter was second to none. Very well prepared both in knowledge and recommendations spot on. service was great and we had a great time. It's the south so leave your cap though.

We went as a group of 6. Arrived as they opened and were seated promptly. The servers are great. Very helpful and full of suggestions. The small plates were delivered quite quickly so we ordered a couple at a time. The server suggested ordering two of each but we only did one. That meant that most had a bite of each but rarely much more. The tacos were the biggest hit. The “large” charcuterie board was, indeed, a large board in size but only had several items 1 oz in size each. Not much “food” for the price they charge. Actually, I would say that everything was delicious, just horribly overpriced. Ok, maybe not overpriced by Buckhead standards but they say that most tables order about 2 or 3 small plates per guest seated there (more if you are hungry) and they cost upwards of $9 each... My personal favorites were the artichokes and the pear salad. If I went back, my thought would be to get one of the tables for two on the side area - sort of like an indoor porch. Much quieter (the main room gets super noisy) and much more special. I would order a bottle of wine and get 2 or 3 “small plates” as appetizers for the two of us and call it a night. If you like a tasting menu where everyone has a “taste” of lots of things, super. One oz portions of some of the items do not go far... Neat place for 2. Large group? Depends...

From walking in ,till leaving the service was excellent . The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive and the owner/ manager made sure we were all having a good time. An awful lot of other restaurants could learn from them !,

Everything, and I mean everything was spot on! The staff was excellent from check-in to wine service to waiter to manager. The food was also REALLY GOOD! After hearing it was a corporate restaurant, I was even more impressed by the quality of the food. Usually places like this will dumb down the menu or try to use lesser ingredients. Not here! While it's not the same as dining in Madrid, this is as good as you're going to get without getting on a flight. Total hits: Fig and goat cheese with honey on their toasted bread (think pan con tomate). Pork cheek tacos! Star of the night fish: Braised pork cheek with truffle and poached egg. If you don't get this dish, you missed out on the chef's brilliance. Would I like a bigger glass for the red wines? Yes. But, that is seriously my only (nitpicking) criticism. That said, the somm who delivered the wine talked about it's location, style and hit the profile spot on. Such a nice touch! Did I mention Burnt Basque Cheesecake??? Never had it? Get it here!!! One last word about the GM... What an awesome representative of this restaurant group. The corporate office should be extremely proud of how this staff has been trained by the GM. We'll be back in the ATL on October and come in early just to eat here again. See you then!

Unbelievable. How this is not ranked in the top 10 restaurants in ATL I don’t know. We had the pan seared snapper, the veal shank ravioli, and the Mac-n-Cheese. 10/10

This place is great. Bar/restaurant space is well decorated and just has a great vibe. Had several mixed drinks. All of them were great. Just had a few food items, clams, duck confit (special of the day) and a cheese cake all of the food was excellent. Service was great. Everything was wonderful. Will definitely be back!

We love Barcelona... and when we saw the Iberian Pig we couldn't wait to get some Iberico ham!!! We decided to just sit at the bar instead of a table that we reserved.. and opted for the back side on the patio.. we arrived just in time, b/c it was packed within the hour... our bartenders Stephan and Bella rock! so shout out to them!.... we also got there in time to catch the end of happy hour... so we got the iberico meat plate and cheese board... beets.. and an iberico mac n cheese... all were presented well and tasted amazing... we will definitely go back!

I love tapas restaurants and this one did not disappoint. The atmosphere was boisterous and fun. The service was attentive. Our entire party was vegetarian and the restaurant had a great assortment from which to order. Stand outs were the broccolini and mac & cheese, but everything was delicious!

One of the best places we've been to in a while. Place was full but they did an amazing job of keeping up with seating and service. Brandon our server, did an awesome job. The mix of tastes from the Tapas menu were so yummy! Every dish had a unique taste with great tasting sauces. A great vibe inside, a great date place.

We have fond memories of hanging out at bars in Barcelona and were so happy to find Iberian food in Atlanta. It is a very busy place and if you want to actually hear people speak, head for an upstairs table. We drank vermouth on ice and decided to skip the jamon and cheese offering to try some of the tapas dishes. Octopus is tender and perfect with well seasoned chickpeas and olives. Croquettas are executed authentically; crispy outside and smooth interior. Oyster mushrooms are heavily scented with sherry and delicious, and pan tomat is also cripsy and refreshing with fresh crushed tomatoes. The flatbread with the same mushrooms and the shisito peppers go together well. this is a hot and happening place, come early if you don't want to wait in line. Service was excellent at our table,, but there is some confusion; a few times dishes we didn't order appeared at our table and they need a traffic cop directing the various servers, runners, and managers all dancing around. We had a great time and recommend it for a fun foody evening.

Decided to try their next location for dinner last night. It got great reviews from a friend. Contemporary decor in the heart of Buckhead. Service was great! Thanks Kelly. Started with Chopin Martinis. We followed Kelly’s recommendations. Stared with his choice for the meat & cheese plate. We then moved on to the bacon wrap dates which were are incredible. New twist time n the heirloom tomato salad. Then we had the red snapper entree special. Seasoned & cooked to perfection. We split everything including the chocolate cake & sea salt ice cream. Valet parking is so easy & convenient to the front door. Enjoyed our time at The Pig!

Waiter explained all the options and which selections were the most popular. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was a little noisy, but not outrageous. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

My wife and I recently met some friends for dinner at The Iberian Pig. We dined on a Thursday night and it was packed. First impression was the noise as it was quite loud. However, once we were seated in a booth and interacting with our friends it was a bit better. The noise remained high until many of the patrons left as the evening went on. We shared a bottle of champagne and then a lovely bottle of Portuguese wine, both delightful. We love the Iberian Pig tapas-style menu as you get to sample so many different items and we did, sharing with our friends. The octopus, branzino, Jamon icerico and serrano, meat and cheese platter and bacon wrapped dates were just a few of the wonderful items we tasted, each absolutely lovely. The staff is also well-trained, polite, friendly without being intrusive and very much on top of their craft. The sommelier (Chris) was delightful and we had a lovely chat with him since we are all wine drinkers. The bartender (Stephen) was also delightful and came by the table to make sure we were well taken care of. Overall a delightful dining experience. Not sure you can do much about the noise level on a busy night but once inside, it was awesome. Parking was slightly problematic but that goes for Buckhead in general. Don't miss this one if you have the opportunity.

If you want to try some authentic Tapas this is the place. They have a great Chactuterie board with real Iberraco ham and serrano ham imported from Spain. Great imported cheeses too. They have a great selection of tapas and I recommend the lobster croquettes. their drinks were excellent and during Happy Hour the $5 glasses of Sangria.

I have eaten at the Decatur location several times, so I decided to try Buckhead this time. The food is essentially identical, with some really interesting tapas. We found the restaurant unsatisfying, due to the need to SHOUT at EACH other ACROSS a SMALL table. A lot of the food was too rich for me, so I ate very small portions. Based on last night's crowd, "those millennials" appear to LOVE this place.

A wonderful place in Buckhead. Tasty tapas, funky tunes, attentive staff. The ideal place to mingle with friends! Worth checking this place out!

Vibrant atmosphere - eclectic experience - all things pork basque style. Great wines - some rather expensive .. friendly staff. Valet parking just $3.

This place was fantastic. Great vibe, layout and friendly staff. I was there prior to the Wolf Alice concert next door, and they were slammed, but managing to pull it off. The bulk of their menu is tapa offerings, and I suspect you can't go wrong. I had the ribs, crispy potatoes and empanadas. The hazy IPA was a wonderful accompaniment. I'd return without hesitation.

I have been here several times and it never disappoints. Great atmosphere and fabulous food. And easy safe parking. Always good service. Our waiter was Alex and he was outstanding.

Excellent Tapas restaurant. We went as a group of 6. Arrived just after they opened. We were seat promptly and our server came right over. We did not know they did a happy hour menu, so that was a nice surprise. Started off with several cheeses and hams. All of them were incredible. We ended up trying a bunch of different tapas. Everything we had was excellent. Our orders came out quickly and the service was fantastic. We spent several hours drink wine, trying all kinds of different plates and enjoying some great conversation. Overall a wonderful evening. We will be back. One of our group is allergic to gluten and they even had a separate gluten free menu.

Service was good by server Carson. Food was good but not great. My wife and I have traveled extensively in Spain and food was just a little off. It was good food and would give it a second chance. Seemed popular as was busy.

Ate here with a bunch of coworkers. Got a private room. Food was delicious and service attentive. One of the better Tapas places I’ve been too.

We enjoyed it very much The food was good the ambience was nice. The wine selection was fair. I would definitely go back

Another star of Atlanta’s surprising variety of Spanish tapas bars. Broad array of meats cheeses and tapas, decent but too short wine-by-glass list. Enjoyed the attentive, friendly service, suggestions and swift food arrivals. Top to bottom in enjoyment: lobster croquetas (super crisp, hot to the center, dab of good crema), grilled octopus (well prepared on chickpea-and-olive base), mushroom/truffle flatbread, bone barrow, and pork meatballs (undercooked and slathered in sauce). Two tempranillos were fine and different from each other. Will certainly return. Good location with free underground parking.

The food was amazing! Loved the atmosphere. Started with delicious dates, kale salad was great, tomatoes were excellent. You must order the fish! Delicious.

My wife and I have eaten here before and loved the food and the atmosphere, so we decided to come again while we were visiting the area. We had a reservation for dinner and had to wait a few minutes at the bar before our table was ready. Once we got to our table, were sitting between two exceptionally LOUD tables and we could not even hear ourselves talking. So, we decided to leave the table and head back to the bar. The staff saw that we left our table and immediately came over to check on us and we told them that it was just too loud at our table, and we preferred to sit at the bar. They immediately apologized and then the bar staff really took care of us. Our food was excellent. We will definitely be back again soon.

From tacos to mac & cheese, tiny burgers and even churros; The Iberian Pig definitely lives up to expectations. All sorts of meats hanging from the ceiling, the comforting purple, gold, and wooden atmosphere are just some of the things that make the Iberian Pig such a special place. Whether you need a place for a birthday dinner, are in the mood for some amazing tapas, or are just meeting some old friends, the Iberian Pig has something for everyone.

So not impressive in authentic Spanish food. Olives were the ONLY THING good. Everything else was Less than acceptable. Fake food. I lived in Barcalona as an American for 6 years. I am sorry but this restaurant needs to give our server a raise and FIX the quality of food. Note to owners- Please go to Spain. See what I’m talking about.

This was certainly the best Spanish tapas restaurant in which we have ever eaten, and one of the best overall (and we've eaten all over the world). The staff was wonderful ... Jesse the dining manager treated us like royalty, and the wait staff was very efficient. And the food ... although everything was very good, the veal ravioli with wild mushrooms, and the rioja cherry sauce was spectacular, as were the grilled artichokes with garbanzo puree, the patatas bravas, and the pulpo a la plancha (octopus). The jamon iberico and lomo iberico were exquisite (and our waiter gave us a lesson in Spanish ham). We will make special trips now (from Charleston) to Atlanta to eat here. From 5 stars we would give them 10.

I would go back to this restaurant in a heartbeat. We were heading to a concert at the venue 2 doors down, and this was the perfect quick pop in place to grab a bite. I had a cheeseboard and a glass of wine along with an order of fried artichoke hearts. The recommendations from the couple sitting next to me. The cheeses were awesome, and those artichokes were crispy and a nice size portion topped with an aioli to die for. I highly recommend it wish I had more time to spend there, but be prepared it was crowded. The bar is half inside and half outside on a patio. Very nice.

Recently when I was in Atlanta visiting my son's family, I had told my daughter-n-law that I wanted to try the Iberian Pig---a place we'd driven past for several months watching whilte it took shape. She called asking if they were "kid-friendly" which they were and so we headed out. We took the two grandchildren, an 18-month-old and a 4-month-old, On any future visits, I hope to leave the kids behind to be able to thoroughly enjoy my meal rather than race through while hoping no one has a meltdown... but all in all our experience was excellent. The hanging cured pig legs, lined up along the ceiling made me think I was in Spain or Italy. We were seated at a booth near the bar which was a help with the noise level. Plus our waiter was kind, thoughtful and engaged readily with my granddaughter so that was most helpful. We opted for the house sangria with a shot of rye..they usually offer it with brandy but I was a tad worried that might be too sweet but this was a refreshingly smooth drink. For the table, we split several small plates---the potatoes, an heirloom tomato and burrata salad, smoked mac-n-cheese (for my granddaughter), the meatballs and the most delicious grilled Bronzino. The food was outstanding. We ordered a Waygu burger to go for my son who was having to work late of which he said was really great. We did not stay for dessert as the kids needed to head home but I can't wait to go back with just my husband. A wonderful new addition

If you Have ever wanted to try many things on a menu, this is the restaurant to try. Variety is an understatement, sauces to enhance flavors and cuts of meat that melt in your mouth. A full bar enhances flavors and service (Crystal) that guide decisions so all plates work together to crate a memorable meal. For those who do not like cheese cake, be daring! The only one I have ever liked! Light and fluffy, more of a light cream mousse than a heavy cheesecake. Will definitely make the trip again to eat here!

We met another couple here recently to celebrate two birthdays. Both couples had been here before, as this was one of our favorite restaurants in metro Atlanta, and this visit reconfirmed that rating. The ambience is charming, and the service is always on point. We tried several tapas dishes, and they were all wonderful. The biggest problem with a dinner at Iberian Pig is that there are so many excellent dishes that you are always going to miss out on some great plates. I would happily reorder every dish that we tried. My favorites were the Lomo, a delicious pork tenderloin, the Arroz Caldo, blue crab, Valencia rice, squash sofrito, pepitas, and the perennial favorite, Pork Cheek tacos. Everything was so good that I told our group we needed to start coming here regularly, since this place was too good to save for special occasions.

We went this past Friday night for dinner around 9pm. They were packed but the food and service were top notch. Our server had great recommendations and was very attentive to all our needs. The valet parking is only $3 and right next to the restaurant.

The food was good but the service sucks! Extremely slow! We waited a long time for our food to come out. Our server spent 40 minutes at the table next to us going over every item in the menu and completely ignored us. We waited 30 minutes to order dessert, finally gave up and asked for our check which took another 15 minutes. I don’t think I’d go back!

Great dinner spot. Lovely decor, knowledgeable waitstaff, and a rich and diverse menus. Vegans, fear not, you can eat here. Fish lovers, you too! The food was great. Try the pork bellies. Very rich. Also, neat drink selection. Good for business dinners.

The tapas and atmosphere are amazing! I would highly recommend ordering a charcuterie board, the pulpo a la plancha, & huevo con trufa. Favorite restaurant in Buckhead!

We arrived at The Iberian Pig with a large party of 14 hungry individuals. All of us left with beaming smiles and filled bellies. It was excellent! Here are the details: Excellent (Grade A+ or A): Costillas – phenomenal ribs Paella – one of the best we’ve ever tried Coca Con Seta – excellent flatbread with amazing mushrooms Ibérico Mac N Cheese – very creative Grand Ibérico Charcuterie Board – a thing of beauty, great variety Wagyu & Berkshire Burger – so juicy! Great wagyu and pork belly combo Churros – top notch Basque Cheesecake – so soft and flavorful, to die for! Very Good (Grade A-): Empanadas de Carne – great flavor Pork Cheek Tacos – the cilantro and lime complement the dish beautifully Bistec – good hanger steak with an excellent chimichurri BWD – surprisingly, pairing bacon with dates really works Good (Grade B+) Patatas Bravas – Good crispy potatoes, but not memorable like other dishes Strawberry Gelato Mock Mojito Service was very attentive and the ambiance enjoyable. Pricing was also reasonable, considering we paid $860 for 14-person dinner, including 11 adults and 3 children (20% tip, no alcohol, see receipt photo for more details). We had a great time and everyone was duly impressed. If you want great tapas, head to The Iberian Pig! We hope to come back soon!

Having loved the Iberian pig in Nashville a year ago we were so excited that there is one in Atlanta. It did not disappoint. Alfredo our waiter was great - recommended amazing dishes. All the food was Fabulous. Highly recommended.

My wife and I stopped in prior to going to a concert at The Buckhead Theatre. It is only 1/2 block away so this worked out perfectly. We started with the BWD which is medjool dates stuffed with Manchego, wrapped in bacon and finished with a romesco sauce. The hit of the meal for both of us was the Veal Shank Ravioli. Just outstanding. We than finished with the Pork Cheek Tacos. They are very popular and deservedly so. We topped it all off with a bottle of Bodegas Tempranillo. Dyan did a fantastic job taking care of us. She never rushed us even as the place started to get busier. All in all you will not go wrong here.

Having up in Atlanta and lived here my entire life, I can confidently say that the Iberian Pig is one of the absolute best, if not the best, restaurants in town. Each tapa could Stand alone as a show stopping entree - the attention to detail, the *sauces*, and flavor combinations, are impeccable. This is not a restaurant that skimps on luxurious flavors or richness - some of the finest, most decadent sauces I have tasted have been here (coming from someone who reads Paul Bocuse cookbooks). As a cook and traveler, it is obvious, and unparalleled, the attention to detail the kitchen pays towards their food. I have yet to try a dish that does not blow me away or leave me completely satisfied.

This new location of an established restaurant takes it to a new level. The valet parking or Uber is a must and when you enter it is vibrant. The main level is very noisy with a very high ceiling and few soft surfaces. We had a drink at the bar which also features an outside section. The decibel level is high, but you do feel it is a happening place. We were shown to our table on time and we sat upstairs which was a little quieter. The service was very efficient and we had to pace the ordering of the dishes because they come out very quickly. This is not the place for a leisurely meal and truthfully it felt a little rushed at times. The prices are very reasonable and we really enjoyed the various tastes and textures.

Shout out to Paulo! He is an outstanding server, who made the night wonderful He recommended several cheeses to start the meal off, then brought us truffle honey to try with the cheese. All the tapas were wonderful and the pear salad was delightful. It was a busy Saturday night. We were lucky to get a seat upstairs out of the bustle, if you want to be in the middle of the action, sit downstairs.
