Get ready to go hog wild, as one of Southeastern Massachusetts’ favorite BBQ restaurants is expanding to a second location. Abington’s Sarcastic Swine Restaurant & Catering is opening a satellite location in South Middleboro.

The new Sarcastic Swine BBQ South will be located inside of the Capeway Convenience Store located at 578 Wareham Street (Route 28).

“It honestly kind of fell into our laps,” Catering Manager Mari Kilmain said of the new location. “I’ve always said some of the very best BBQ I’ve ever had came from a gas station in East Texas, so for me personally, having a little tiny spot like this felt perfect.”

When Will the Sarcastic Swine BBQ South in Middleboro Be Open?

The Middleboro location will officially open on Thursday, January 26. The hours of operation will be Thursdays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It will only be available for take out.

Capeway Convenience is located just near the South Middleboro Fire Station and the South Middleboro Cemetery.

“We’re very lucky in that it’s a really easily accessible spot with plenty of visibility and not a whole lot else around it, but it’s on the way to a lot of places, making it great for people in the area or people just passing through,” Kilmain said.

Sarcastic Swine also offers 11 different BBQ sauces to choose from, starting with “not hot” sauces like honey or hickory, all the way up to “really hot” sauces like “Cherry Bomb” (a mixture of Cherry Pepsi and ghost peppers) and “Blue Beast” (blueberry and ghost chili). For the really brave, there’s the “super hot” “Kokua,” a pineapple habanero sauce.
