They have the BEST gluten free Mac & Cheese I've ever had!! The brisket on top was phenomenal as well. Gabe was our server and was a delightful young man and host. Overall? 12/10, highly recommend!
We had Sunday brunch here. Enjoyed the Sticky Ribs that fell off the bone
Entree was the Muscles and Smoked Linguica, that was so delicious!
Banana pudding made with banana bread!

Short answer: Amazing food, allergy friendly, out of this world service from Gabe.
I was passing through Knoxville and needed to find a restaurant that had some gluten free/dairy free options. Looked on "Find Me Gluten Free" and the saw the name, Humble Hog, which caused me to explore some more. The website drew me in with the welcoming content and the ever apparent love of making great food. The glowing reviews were abundant on many different forums, but the ones from allergy people mean the most to me, and they were not in short supply.
Gabe served us and he is as delightful as he is so kindly helpful. He served up an amazing cocktail, the Humble Rita, to start. So good. Next, he gave this allergy laden food enthusiast, a moment to remember: "It's much easier for me to write down what you can't eat, then what you can. There's a lot of choices for you."
I had:
Sticky ribs
Kimchi Brussel Sprouts
Bunless Pulled Pork
It was all truly so delicious. Embarrassingly enough, I got a little misty eyed when I bit into the brussel sprouts. It's so rare for me to get to choose from so many options that are not a salad. These amazing flavors were a true treat. Everything I tried was really good. I wish I lived closer and my stomach was bigger so I could of tried more of my options.
A couple of other points: Their leather chairs are unbelievably comfortable to sit in as you wander through the culinary delights. (I'd love to know where they are from, they are also gorgeous.)
Try the Humble Rita.
Bring your ID if you are ordering an alcoholic beverage, you will be asked despite having a bevy of wrinkles and gray hairs. I have a feeling that even if you were there celebrating your 110th birthday, you guessed it, you would be carded. They are across the board carders, which I understand their diligence.
During my road trip I ate out a lot and experienced a lot of servers and a spectrum of customer service. Gabe is incredible. He is warm and friendly, thoughtful and genuine, discerning and willing to go the extra mile to be helpful. Customer service is not easy. Navigating food issues for patrons is not easy. Nor is it easy to be skilled at every point of great customer service, but there he is being professional but kind, attentive, and articulate. You can clearly feel that Gabe believes in the food he is serving. While I don't normally sit at the bar when I dine out, I'm glad I did.
Knoxville is lucky to have Humble Hog, I'm lucky to of eaten there.
Unfortunately, I was so blown away with the options, I ate everything without taking a picture.

First time here. My husband and I ordered Phat Grits (Pork Belly with Kimchi Brussels,
Pickled Egg, & Cheesy Grits), Burnt Ends, and Rib Tips. We loved all three so much. I particularly loved Kimchi Brussels in the grits dish and melting-in-your-mouth Burnt Ends. The portion was also good. We ate until we’re full and brought home the leftovers.

We've eaten there 3 times. The food is amazing and so is the staff. Going back soon ?
I cannot say enough good things about this place! The food was AMAZING but the kindness from every worker, not just our server, was impeccable! Love this place!

Always looking for a new place to get bbq and found this place. Holy cow(no pun intended) but they are serving up some really great bbq. Good menu choices,(read the menu carefully) food taste on point, portion size is very good and the prices are very good as well. Nice atmosphere, kinda tucked out of the way but well worth the trip. Found our new bbq stop in K'ville. Stop by and try it for yourself, you'll be glad you did.

Visited for the weekend and a brewery we were at recommended HH when we asked about the best BBQ. It did not disappoint. The ribs and brisket were fresh out of the smoker and the surprise of the meal were the wings and pickled veggies. Highly recommended!

A weird twist on bbq that I couldn't say enough about. Try the things you wouldn't normally try. The fried pickles are all homemade pickled vegetables that were delicious. A fun spot to try and escape the normal and tired out food that we always eat. Everything was a pleasant surprise.
