About Whole Hog Café

Whole Hog Café is a must-visit for BBQ lovers, offering a variety of delicious smoked meats and sauces. The ribs remain a popular choice, complemented by a flavorful dry rub option. The cream corn is a standout side dish that shouldn't be missed, and the burnt end cheesy corn is also highly recommended, though it is quite sweet. The smoked sausage, brisket, chicken, and pulled pork are all excellent, with the pulled pork being especially tender and juicy with great flavor. The brisket is noted for its tenderness as well. The sides are just as good as the barbecue meat, including potato salad made with sour cream that is delicious, while fried okra is considered pretty average. The restaurant provides generous portions and is celiac safe, with gluten-free sauce options available and thoughtful substitutions. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for casual dining, though some reviews mention that the building needs some love, with booths that are falling apart and cleanliness issues. Service is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience. Despite some minor issues like the drink dispenser, the quality of the food makes it a great place to enjoy a meal. Arriving early is recommended to avoid missing out on popular items like the ribs. Overall, Whole Hog Café is a place where delicious BBQ can be enjoyed, making it worth a visit for anyone in the Springfield area.

Went there for the 1st time on 8/8 25. Ordered 2 whole hog platters for $27 each. Just being honest, the ribs were semi tough and not fall off the bone. Brisket was very disappointing as it was sliced paper thin. Pulled pork was decent but dry. Green beans were not good at all. The best thing was the potato salad. All of the portions were very small considering I spent $60. Not award winning bbq in my opinion and will eat elsewhere. One and done for me.

Just had lunch at the North Glenstone location. Excellent! The pulled pork was perfect, tender and juicy with a great flavor. Having several selections of BBQ sauce is good because everyone's idea of the best sauce varies person to person. To be honest, the sides are just as great as the barbeque meat. I had fried okra (pretty average) and potato salad (not traditional, but way above average). My husband had the cheesy corn and it was great! It's pretty sweet though, so be aware...read full review
