    Constructive Criticism: Don't come after me. I did go to Piggy's island when they reopened. At that time, the ventilation was pretty bad so the whole place was smokey and it didn't help with our appetites. Grant you, this was back when they first reopened, so It's very likely they have fixed it. Also, i found it weird that they didn't have tables for larger groups. I will definitely give them another chance as I love Kbbq and don't just want to go to the one that starts with D all the time. Thank you for showcasing them. I will definitely check them out again.
