I love their pulled pork sandwich. Coleslaw is good, but I wish they made it with mayonnaise. Extremely fast and friendly service.

Best food! My husband had the award winning ribs. I had brisket sandwich. We shared sides of potato salad and cucumber salad. Our entrees came with cole slaw. The food is fabulous! Every single thing was wonderful! Service friendly and helpful. Even the iced tea is good. We will be back as soon as we possibly can. Very good BBQ!

Went here for dinner as we were passing through. It was delicious! Our party had the brisket, ribs and pulled pork. The brisket was the best, actually gave compliments to the chef before we left. Also they have an awesome variety of BBQ sauces (something for everyone's tastebuds)!

We went to Whole Hog for lunch. We had pulled pork, ribs, and brisket, and everything was fantastic. The sauces were interesting, although not too much variation; would have been nice to see a mustard-based Carolina-style sauce, but I understand that it's not popular in this area. For sides we had the cucumber salad, jalapeno mac 'n' cheese, and cole slaw, all of which were delicious. The service was prompt and friendly and there was plenty of seating.

Thursday afternoon barbecue lunch. Walked in and ordered pulled pork sandwich and combo plate with pulled pork and brisket, baked beans and cucumber salad. Delicious!! I'd eat here every day if I could. Service was super friendly and fast! Many barbecue sauces to try and mine was number 5. Good portions for the price.

Excellent lunch! We shared the half rack of ribs, ordered two sides of cole slaw and a couple of glasses of the brewed iced tea. No sauce needed but we did try them all :)

Got a to-go order of the 5oz pulled chicken plate with potato salad and baked beans. Incredible and well-portioned! Good service and came out in 3 minutes! Definitely recommend. Pretty quiet inside too.

Parking is limited, so the free parking attracted us. We checked reviews online, and the majority were excellent. As we entered, the heavenly smell wafted through the place. That clinched the deal. The gentleman who took our order was friendly and efficient. When he asked if we wanted to go cups or glasses for our drinks, we opted for to go cups. The drink machine was in the dining area, and refills were complimentary. We also got our sandwiches with the Coleslaw to the side, not on the meat, in the bun. By the time we got our drinks, and found a place to park our butts, we got our sandwiches. Husband had the pulled pork and I had the pulled chicken. Both were moist and tasty - even without sauce. Husband said the beans were spicy. They had a kick. The coleslaw was dry, sweet, and very good. We had 6 sauces from which to choose - our favorites were the sweet ones - #1 and #5. We savored every delicious bite. I ate half of mine without the bun, to get the full chicken flavor. It was pleasant eating inside. Frank Sinatra serenaded us over the sound system. Other diners were in our area, & we were all spread out. Note: If you are looking for a job, they're hiring as of 5/26/21. But you wouldn't know they were short staffed. Service was exceptional! And so was the food!
