Pig In A Pit opened July 15, 2003, with much anticipation from the community. BBQ had been absent in Milledgeville proper for some time. Milledgeville and the surrounding area has been good to Pig In A Pit, making Ben and Hal feel at home. The Loper Brothers, Ben and Hal, came from two different prospective starting the restaurant.  Hal had completed a Culinary Degree with honors. He brought vast experience having worked in many different restaurants, including working for two years with Buckhead Life. His professors suggested a fine dining restaurant, but he and Ben wanted to establish a good BBQ restaurant. Ben Loper had successfully ran three companies, leaving each with highest recommendations. Ben brought to Pig In A Pit the business expertise that all new companies need.
Both Loper Brothers pledged to give back to the community 5% of their profits. Many local institutions, schools, and individuals can attest to the donations from Pig In A Pit.
Having past the two year mark, a huge landmark for any restaurant, the Loper Brothers are looking towards a bright future. A second restaurant is planned to open this fall in Macon on Bass Road.
