Review by Fleta Maggio

The Thirsty Pig is a delightful stop if you’re in Portland. I enjoyed their extensive hot dog menu, especially the red snapper with unique toppings. The cozy atmosphere was perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Friendly staff made us feel right at home, and the selection of local beers hit the spot!

We even caught some live music in the back area, which added to the vibrant vibe. Overall, a perfect blend of comfort food and a welcoming environment... 🎶
