Not even two months gone by and Piggy went back, this time with twice the party size.
The menu's hard to read, so this time we took our time. To my surprise they actually did serve pig tails! They come in a snack size under the Carnivore list and as a meal under the Favourites.
Piggy got 4 tails which were delicious! The little bits of skin were chewy and sticky, and they were covered in sweet dark sauce. The meat was very tender and delicious.
On the sides mollasses beans with bacon bits and the biggest onion rings in town.
Ice Tea - too sweet. And the corn bread could have been warmed up or toasted a litle.
Overall great service and tons of food.
Piggy had heard all the buzz about this place and finally the time had come to check it out, when he met up an old friend for lunch. So they rolled in at noon and were quick to be seated and served.
The menu was not the easiest to read, and the best options were not obvious. So Piggy went for the 2 meat platter and a bottle of beer and here is what he thought:
3 Ribs : A little too charred on the outside, could have been more tender. Did not fall off the bone as easily as expected. Great flavor overall.
Pulled Pork: Great with the addition of sauces available on the table, however a little too dry\lean at times. Could have used some more fat or juice.
Corn Bread: Piggy would have preferred if the corn bread was piping hot with some butter on the side, and a little sweeter. The consistency was fabulous, and the crunchy crust just right.
Collard Greens: Well cooked however, slightly too acidic. The bacon bits in them were a nice addition.
Beans and Rice: The rice and beans were not cooked together. The rice was placed in a bowl and the beans on top so it was not the typical rice and beans that Piggy is used to. Both items tasted great however and were a good compliment to the meal.
Beer: Warthog Ale and other good beers are available to be enjoyed with all this meat.
Sauces: The sauces on the table were ok; however some specialty Hot Sauce, other than Tabasco, and even some homemade chili sauce would have really set Piggy's tail on fire.
We went here on a Sat night and the place was packed. I was pretty excited to try this place after reading the reviews on this site. The waitress was quite friendly and checked on us at an adequate level. Unfortunately, the food took too long to come out - probably because they were very busy - which is however no excuse for any restaurant. We ordered the meat platter to try all the different bbq'ed meat - unfortunately most of it came out luke warm. The ribs were dry and the pulled pork was undersauced. The collard greens were too watery and under-seasoned. The corn bread was greasy and flavourless. The ribs were OK - Swiss Chalet ribs are better - not a good sign for a BBQ joint. I was expecting the dish to be better as the platter was the most expensive dish on their menu. This is a good place to grab a quick lunch, but that's about it. I definitely would not go back again for a Fri/ Sat night dinner.
We do take out every now and then and it's good but the real deal Hogtails experience in my opinion is eating at the restuarant. For the last couple of weeks I have been eating at the restaurant with my kids (ages 6 and 4) for dinner when my wife is working late. The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is totally relaxed and the food is always great. We typically get ribs or bbq chicken with a salad and a couple of side dishes - never disappointed. The biggest advantage with eating at the restaruant is the extra bbq sauces on the table - sweet and smokey - both are so good I have seriously considered just squirting some in my hand to eat. Portion sizes are huge, so lots to take home. Hogtails is a great spot for wonderful food that you cannot get anywhere else in town.
Go here at lunch with co-workers every once in a while. Always get the pulled pork... It is the best pulled pork I have ever had, their BBQ sauce is to die for. You have to try it, if you don't you're seriously missing out
