Reviews for Top Hog BBQ in Gainesville, FL
Definitely not a true BBQ place. Ordered the brisket cheese steak. The brisket was dry and had no flavor, definitely wasn't... smoked. There were no mushrooms on the sandwich, and the bread was extremely dry. Staff were nice. Coleslaw was good. Read more
If you?re looking to a BBQ alternative than the fast chains, then this is a good pit stop.
What can I say other than absolutely delicious! If you haven't been there yet I highly recommend! It's not some bland BBQ joint,... it is very flavorful and exceeded my expectations. I didn't even want to go, my husband did. Now I will happily drive the 45mins just to eat here. I think it's a hidden gem! The drink was delicious also! I think it was called piggy punch. We hadfriend pickles for appetizer, and I've never had them diced up and fried before, they were amazing also! Read more
My second visit to Top Hog. On my first visit, I had pulled pork. It was quite good and while it was said to me this is best NC... BBQ sauce, it's not NC; it is good but not Eastern or Lexington BBQ. Tonight, I had the brisket. The sauce with it was a littlesweet and very good on the meat. It's served on the side so you can add as much or little as you like. Both times I've had slawthat is fresh and has a little bit of finely chopped dark green leafy veggie in it, probably the best slaw I've had in a while(I love slaw!). I really like venues with live music and often that is why I'll go to a specific spot. The "music" being playedthis evening is why I left, it was less than appealing. The food is good but a little pricey, dinner with 1 beer and no dessertwas just over $20. I'll go back. Read more
The food was decent although not at all what I would call barbecue. I did not smell one whiff of smoke in the entire place! The... wait staff was shall we say disinterested? at best. the prices were okay but everything in there was dated and quite frankly thebiggest turnoff was the place was dirty! the floor was dirty, my table was dirty, trash all over the ground outside the frontdoor. The place quite frankly was a mess. Read more
First time here for dinner. The place is nice, tables are nicely distanced and it was not crowded at the time we had our dinner.... The bbq meats are delicious and tender, especially the ribs and you have options for smaller or larger portion, which is verysuitable for different kinds of eaters. Would come back again to try other dishes. Read more
Highly recommend! Everything we ate was delicious. My husband had the poutine with brisket and a smoked sausage, my son had... chicken tenders and fries, and I had the pulled pork sandwich with green beans on the side. Excellent service. Read more
I don?t remember if I had left a review for this place or not, but it?s so good I decided to do it again, just in case. If you... haven?t tried this place yet then you need to do yourself a favor and head over. Easily some of the best cheese grits and Mac &cheese I?ve had. The food is always good and served fast. They have a sandwich called 4 pigs and a cow!!! Omg it?s so good. Theymake great sandwiches. The desserts ain?t bad either. They have a new $7 lunch combo which is very affordable. You?ll bethanking me once you?ve been there. Read more
