Reviews for Holy Hog Barbecue in Brandon, FL
Here is a shout out to Manny at Holy Hog BBQ. We recently made our second visit to your restaurant and I have to say the second... time was better than the first. I love the smoke flavor and seasoning you put in the meat. Your baked beans, fries, coleslaw andcollards awesome too. We will be back since my goal is to try everything on your menu. So far I?ve only had the ribs andbrisket. They both tasted great and I can?t wait to try the sausage and chicken. Only advise is, get some help so you can get abreak every now and then. Thanks, keep up the great bbqing. Read more
It?s good especially for central Florida. Portions are good sized and lots of options for sides. We had ribs (St. Louis style),... pulled pork and burnt ends (KC style). Pulled pork texture was great, good tug on ribs and the burnt ends were tender, yetstill that good burnt end chew. Only complaint is the smoke flavor is very mild and they need a good beef and/or pork rub tocompliment the meat. Will definitely come back; their sauce is excellent as well. Read more
Ordered the Hog Wild Sampler with the 4 meats and 4 sides for $24.99. The 4 meats included in the sampler are chicken breast... with wing portion, ribs, pulled pork and sausage. For the sides we chose the loaded potato salad, jalapeño Mac and cheese,baked beans and fries. The smoked meats were tasty and tender and even the chicken breast was juicy and not dry like it can beat some smoked bbq places. The loaded potato salad was pretty good and made with sour cream, mayo, shredded cheese and baconbits. The jalapeño mac & cheese was all right but did have a little kick to it with the jalapeños. The baked beans were prettystandard and the fries were a generous portion. Overall a good experience with the tasty food and the staff was very friendly.Giving 5 stars because they do offer military discount. Read more

So good. I had the 2 meat plate twice now. First time i had sausage and ribs next time I had brisket and ribs. Meats are super... tender. I like how they have 3 different sauces on the table you can try it on. Love the jalapeno mac and cheese too. Def goingto try it again. Read more
So I ordered through Uber eats and upon recovering the order I realized it was wrong. I ordered Cole slaw and potato salad? Now... the mac and cheese was above average and the beans had OK flavor. But they were so dry and smashed together I though they wererefried beans. Very disappointed they couldn't get the sides right and since it was a delivery I couldn't do anything. Now ontothe brisket. This has to be the WORST brisket I've ever had ghr displeasure of trying to eat. You can see the portion size wasgreat. Unfortunately 4 of the 6 large peices were over 50% fat. This wouldn't have been a huge problem for me as I normally lovecuts from the point vs the leaner flat. But this brisket needed at least another couple hours on the smoker. None of the fat orconnective tissue was properly rendered. Some people do the pull test for brisket, I could have used this stuff as rope, therewas no way you're pulling jt apart. For peices obviously from the point, I've also never seen them so dry. Also do you even usea rub? Their was little to no bark and it added nothing to the 2 peices I choked down since I spent $20 on it. It's prettyobvious whoever is running your smoker has no idea what he's doing when it comes to brisket, leaving such a huge fat cap on it,barely having any rub at all and it being woefully undercooked Read more

Food was okay and fresh but I have never paid 8.50 for a basic bbq pork sandwich in all of my life! The special was a good deal,... same sandwich, side and drink for .50 more. Will be the first and last time. I ordered over the phone it was raining, mymistake. Read more
