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.

I have been coming here since 2017, the food is always excellent. Ownership is on site managing daily and it shows in the quality, flavor and presentation of the generous portions of Bar-B-Que! As I eat, I love hearing the cashier walk new customers through the menu. Like music to my ears.

Local, family owned business where your dollars are going back into local pockets creating meaningful impact where it matters. Definitely a restaurant to support!

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+

Today was the first time my son and I tried out your bbq. Amazing flavor and great sauce. Best baby back’s I’ve ever had. Keep it up 👍🏼

Hog Wild Barbecue in Placerville is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic, smoky, fall-apart barbecue. The star of the show is without a doubt their beef brisket—tender, juicy, and packed with that deep, smoky flavor that only comes from hours of low and slow cooking. Each bite has the perfect balance of smoky bark on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth goodness inside, making it some of the best brisket I’ve ever had.

The flavors are bold yet perfectly balanced, and you can tell the folks at Hog Wild take real pride in their craft. Whether you eat it on its own, pair it with their tangy house-made sauces, or enjoy it in a sandwich, the brisket is nothing short of phenomenal. If you’re in Placerville and craving true barbecue, Hog Wild is a must-visit—the brisket alone is worth the trip!

The best BBQ around. I travel for work and stop at local spots frequently. We stopped in and the brisket was sold out, gotta show up early for the good stuff. Ill be back for sure! Thank you to the friendly staff.

Knowing how good the food can be here
I was more than willing to make the 90 mile round trip for your food
$60.00 for a 2 meat and 1 meat plate
3 puny St Louis Ribs was a rip off
Over cooked and dry
So disappointed
Aaron would be ashamed
On the positive side the sides were great and the Brisket was perfect
Really hate not getting what I paid for knowing that I have here in previous trips
St Louis Ribs that I know of have large meaty bones
Juicy and not crispy chewy
Have a nice day
So sad when businesses don't own their faults and there's no retribution for their inadequacies
Thank goodness for Karma

Hours are horrible. Good but not open when anyone eats?

Hog Wild catered the smoked meats for a game night home event. It was perfect!
Everyone enjoyed the ribs, chicken and apple sausage. Leftovers were even better.
The staff was professional, friendly and timely. What more can you ask for?
I would absolutely recommend to keep your party simple.

Thanks
