Stunning spring day for their patio seating. Fast service ready to cater to your needs. Food menu to make mouths water. What I loved the most? Seeing the connection between the guests. Everyone seems to know each other. That's character no money can buy. Absolutely will be coming back.

The food was delicious! Small place not a lot of seating (about 24 seats total and then about 7 at the bar) but the bartender did some rearranging and got us a table for 2. I had the brisket tray which comes with 2 sauces and 1 side and a piece of bread. I got the pit beans and the original bbq sauce and the garlic bbq both were tasty but really liked the garlic one...give it a try! My friend got the pork tray with Mac and cheese. Because we share I tried her Mac and cheese (which I am super finicky about Mac/cheese). OMGoodness it was amazing. It had great flavor, creamy, with bread crumbs(?) on top!!! Could definitely go back just for that! I thought the price was reasonable for the amount of food. Just a fun neighborhood bbq place with a couple TVs, friendly staff and a quaint feel!

Great little hole in the wall BBQ with mouthwatering flavor and super friendly service! App selection was surprising and solid drink options. Will definitely stop by again.

On Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024, we hosted an employee reunion party at Saratoga Lanes. We had Hogtown Smokehouse cater it. They were great. Everyone loved the barbeque pork, brisket, and macaroni & cheese. It was very good. Rico, owner, was very responsive and helpful. They delivered the food on time and made sure that everything was good before leaving. I highly recommend Hogtown Barbeque. We will definitely be back. One more - one last - - - the food was great as was the service.

First time visit to this one. We were greeted quickly by the super nice waitress / bartender there. She gave us some options on where to sit and asked if we had been in before. She explained the menu to us and gave us a couple recommendations, one that we took. We got there and the atmosphere was fun. Games on the TVs, but what was really funny for us, was the very nice group of regulars that were there at the bar and the table next to us.. They were waiting for Wheel of Fortune to come on, honestly just on first impressions alone, I feel they would have let us join in on the fun if we asked :) Food was amazing. My wife got a French Dip and I got the Southtown. Both came out as fast as you would expect a sit down place to come out. No complaints at all. The meats were amazing! The chicken with the white bbq sauce was awesome, and the roast beef was perfect. Overall, super fun environment, nice people, and amazing food. Inside and outside seating, cool place. We will definitely be back.

This was my second visit but it has been a few years. I love their patio. Fantastic barbecue. I ordered a brisket sandwich which came on top of the softest hoagie roll. This place is a vibe. We were greeted and treated with kindness.

Hogtown is for sure in my Top 3 BBQ places in the country! The food here is absolutely incredible! It's a very unassuming looking place, but the food speaks for itself. Our bartender, Madi, was excellent! They were nice enough to put on the game we wanted to watch as well. I forgot my credit card at the bar when we left, but Madi ran outside and made sure that I got it back. We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Hogtown. The food and the service were exceptional! We will for sure be back if we come to STL again.
