Hog Rock Bar-B-Q

This is a good place to eat if you have no teeth. The «pulled» pork is a pile of amorphous mush that looks like a meat milkshake. If it had more texture, it would be like potted meat. A positive note is that the meat mush is inexpensive. There is no tomato based BBQ sauce – only a poor attempt at mustard based sauce. The fries are the frozen crinkle variety. I usually root for local businesses, but in this case, somebody should call PETA because the lives of pigs are clearly not being valued. Why would somebody do this to perfectly good pork??? How can there be people on this planet who think that pulled pork BBQ is supposed to taste this way???

I really wanted to like this place. It’s a local mom and pop BBQ, that has a very nice size menu. The problem for me was pretty much everything. First of all, if you like mustard based sauces, this may be your place. That’s a Carolina thing to me however and there was no choice of a tomato based sauce to be had. Even the Brunswick stew had that mustard based sauce in it which gave it an odd taste. The pork had a weird mouth feel as it was (I think) par-​boiled and then smoked. It essentially tasted like boiled meat with a slight smoky taste. The fries were very bland and the coleslaw was very heavy on the mayo. The best thing was the banana pudding which was Authentic, Granny made (as we call it), and very good. My biggest issue however, and this was probably a fluke, was that we had to wait 25 minutes for our food because they simply forgot about our order. To be fare, everyone else’s orders came out relatively quickly, especially the to go orders which seemed to take precedence over anyone eating in. I didn’t like the food, but you might.

First visit to Hog Rock. I got the «big boy» plate and my buddy got the «old timer» plate. The pork was tasty, and the portions were good for the price. The place stayed busy the whole time we were there. service was pretty quick and everyone was friendly. The BBQ sauces were mustard based. They have a «mild» and a «hot» sauce. I tried both, tasty, but not spectacular. The Brunswick stew was probably the best thing I had. I also got the BBQ slaw, which was very mustardy, but overall good. The prices are hard to beat, but unless I am in the neighborhood I would not go out of the way for their BBQ.

Cute BBQ joint in Phenix City. The staff is super friendly, especially with non-​regulars/​out-​of-​owners, such as myself! 8bucks for a pork platter that includes 2 sides and a drink is great. Generous portions!

5 BBQ sandwiches for $ 5? Heck yeah! And they are good! Definitely worth a try.
The wings though — try somewhere else. Decent price, but not as good as they could be.

I grew up in PC and have had all of the BBQ in town. Personally I do not think that any of it’s bad. Basically it comes down to personal preference and your mood. 5 chipped sandwiches for 5 bucks is a great deal by me. The onion rings are ok, lacking onion really. If you want «cheap» BBQ, give this place a try.

This is my ‘go-​to’ BBQ restaurant. Not because of the BBQ… But because if you order right, you can get a lot for cheap. Like the 5 for $ 5 BBQ sandwhiches. Not the best tasting, but 5 BBQ sandwhiches for $ 5… In my opinion you just can’t beat that. Also they have good wings for a reasonable price. I usually get the 25 wings for $ 12.99 I believe. Everywhere else around the area are higher on the price for not so many wings. The BBQ is good if you get a platter or plate of some sort and the chicken is tasteful. I would recommend, but if you’re keen on BBQ flavor there are better places to go.

Wish I could give no stars. Fried chicken filet. Yeah right… Don’t you mean chicken strips. BBQ platter was nothing but fat. Save your money!!! You would be better off at country’s BBQ!

Wasn’t bad. I wouldnt go as far to say it’s the best BBQ in town like their sign suggests.
My husband ordered the BBQ and was pleased with it. I ordered turkey breast on a salad and it was lettuce with cut up turkey sandwich slices on it. I could have done that at home! I was disappointed in that.
