Piggy's Ice Cream-Harry's Grille

Stepping into Piggy's Ice Cream-Harry's Grille feels like slipping into a cherished corner of Hendersonville, where time slows down just enough to savor the simple pleasures. This is a casual, welcoming spot that blends the hearty warmth of a classic barbecue joint with the nostalgic charm of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. The pace here invites you to lean back, take in the eclectic collection of antiques and memories that punctuate the walls and ceiling, and settle in for a genuine, unhurried local experience.

The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, balanced by the hum of friendly chatter and the inviting scent of smoked meats wafting from the open kitchen. It’s the kind of place where familiarity feels natural, whether you’re digging into a plate of tender pulled pork paired with creamy mac and cheese or cooling down with a scoop of ice cream that melts effortlessly on the tongue. Every bite is a quiet celebration of down-home favorites, from thick-cut cheeseburgers to savory rib plates, served alongside sides that carry the soul of Southern comfort.

There’s a subtle magic in the way the flavors and décor come together here — the stories layered in every vintage relic on the walls, the steady rhythm of casual service, and the genuine smiles that make you feel less like a customer and more like a visitor to someone’s well-kept kitchen. It’s a place for slower moments: sharing a meal, swapping a few stories, tasting a few memories, and finding joy in the deliciously simple.
