Seen a ton of good reviews and the food lived up to the hype!! We came in with a party of 15 and they were able to accommodate us within 10-15mins of us showing up. Even with an already packed house. We’ll definitely be back again
One of the legit bbq place in the area. We went there 2 times around 3:30pm and they sold out both times. We finally came around 12pm on Saturday and went in with no line up! There are several indoor tables and few patio tables but it got busy quickly. When we left around 1pm, the line was out the door. We ordered The Hangtown Sampler with brisket, baby back ribs, St. Louis ribs and sides (mac & cheese, coleslaw & pinto beans). We sat at the patio and the friendly server brought out our food in about 5 mins after we ordered. The staffs checked on us several times and were super friendly.
My experience was phenomenal. Walked in with a larger party, and was immediately greeted and had a table put together to accommodate. Food was amazing, we had the brisket, pulled pork and baby back ribs, all were tender and flavorful. Macaroni and mashed potatoes were great, and so were the large cornbread! Portions were sizable and pretty accurate to serving size for family platter. Service was 10/10, super friendly and there was one woman, who we weren’t able to catch the name of, that made the whole atmosphere comfortable, and like she was serving us at her own home. Definitely worth the trip!
Stopped by on the way home from Boa Vista Hill because my husband was craving BBQ, and we came across this place on his maps. When we walked in, Randy greeted us right away and asked if it was our first time. We told him it was, and he kindly offered to go over the menu with us — which was super helpful! We ended up ordering one of the family feast meals (I forgot the exact name), which came with our choice of three meats — we went with baby back ribs, chicken breast, and brisket — plus three sides: mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and pinto beans. It also came with 2 cornbreads. Randy and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and even checked in on us after we got our food. Everything was delicious, and the service made the whole experience even better. We really enjoyed our visit — thank you!
Wow, just wow.. We've traveled hours to find "Great" BBQ and this place hits the mark and checks every box. My receipt says Baby backs, but I assure you, they were St. Louis. The Ribs were tender, moist and fall off the bone with a great Smokey flavor (10 out of 10). As advertised, the mashed Potatoes & Gravy were yummy (7) and the Mac & Cheese were great as well according to the wife. We will be traveling the hour and a half everytime we want or need our Rib fix.. Great Job Hog Wild.. A+A+A+
Omg this place was really a treat. The staff were amazing and super friendly. The baby back ribs were just so good and the bbq dipping sauce just added additional greatness to it. Brisket was so tasty and juicy. Mashed potatoes, green beans, and macaroni with cheese was good. I’m definitely returning to this restaurant when I am in the area.
My husband and I stopped here for lunch on our way to Lake Tahoe. The staff is very welcoming, friendly (also law enforcement friendly) and great customer service. My husband ordered pulled pork sandwich and I had ribs. The food was delicious, tasty and came out quick. Would definitely stop by again. Shout out to the staff!
This place was a stop when we hit Placerville. Great little spot. Friendly people and good food. We go the sampler platter for four and it was more than enough.
Local bbq joint that made it on dinners drive ins and dives. Like most bbq joints the first thing thay hits you is the smell. You could smell it all the way into to town as you drove up. Carrying all the classic smoked meat selections from ribs, tritip and bbq pork, you will not go home hungry. Sides selection is good and not over whelming like some joints. Food was good but in our visit it felt like there could have been more smoke amd or seasoning. Again not bad just wanted more flavor. Sides we good and the right portion size for the meals. Staff is super friendly and helpful which always makes a place stand out. Make sure to grab a bite if in the area.
On a whim, my friends and I were craving bbq post backpacking in desolation wilderness and we found this restaurant while en route to SF. We arrived closer towards their closing time (~4:15p) and sadly weren’t able to try a majority of the meats (which means we’ll have to come back). I ordered the pull pork, Caesar salad, sautéed green beans which included the sweet cornbread with honey butter since they were out of rolls. By chance they had extra brisket and our friends put in an order so we could taste it and it was absolutely delicious! I’d definitely come back and order the brisket and mac and cheese, and/or mashed potatoes with gravy.
