I'm giving 5 starts 'cause I can't leave 4 1/2. Here's the deal. The BBQ was good. Ribs were perfectly smoky and fall off the bone. The pulled pork had a lightly smoked flavor. Would have preferred to have it more pulled, but hardly worth mentioning. I ate the brisket with a fork, no knife necessary, as it should be. At first I thought that $3.99 for a side of cornbread was a lot, but when it arrive, we got a 5" x 5" slab covered in melted butter and honey. Awesome. The slaw was decent, I would have preferred a thicker dressing, but it was tasty. TWO COMMENTS - 1) IMHO, good BBQ should speak for itself without sauce. They normally sauce the meat before service, which I really don't like. Don't sauce the meat. Let US do it, and give us a few sauces to choose from. 2) I wanted to see collard greens as a side, but there were no form of greens at all. Not a HUGE deal...who knows, maybe they tried and they didn't sell, but I'd like to see SOME form of greens on the menu.
Other than those 2 comments, the food was really good, and I recommend it!
I have tried the pulled pork, pulled chicken and the Angus brisket. All 3 were amazing. I would highly recommend their BBQ and now I don't have to drive to Ridgefield to get BBQ. I will also be requesting them to do a pig roast at my event in the summer.
Hog Wild did an amazing job today at my brother -in-laws retirement party ! Bill is so friendly and very knowledgeable about roasting the giant pig !It was a spectacle to behold and all the guests were truly entertained . Then you get to taste it !!!! WOW! The pig was just outstanding! Tender and delicious with a subtle smokiness. What a great operation ! If you want to do something fun and different call Hog Wild for your next party ! You will be very happy you did !! ????????????
