Didn't realize they had patio seating. When I reserved a table on Google, the patio options were buried beneath 3 other sections. So I was disappointed when I got there because I could have reserved the nice outdoor patio! Indoor was very cold and dark, not the best.Pros:-Brisket is delicious! Very tender, juicy, and melt in your mouth. Super flavorful-Pulled pork also tasty- Braised collard greens --- mmmm!!!!Cons-Ribs, in my opinion, were a fail. At least our portion. Super black and burnt looking, even though I understand they were going for a blackened look. I saw photos of ribs in these reviews and they looked better than what I got. So a bit inconsistent. One end of the ribs was also super dry and hard... Like eating leather..-Cornbread was good but slightly salty
Dinner on a Thursday night. Delicious fried chicken & waffles, ribs & mussels. Our waiter was super friendly & attentive. The food was great & it came fast! The food was not cheap but it was worth the $.
Handsome Hog has an amazing brunch menu! Everything we ordered was delicious with well balanced flavors. My friend had their Handsome Hog Hot Brown which was absolutely fantastic! The house ham was juicy and incredibly tender, the pecan bacon had a perfect balance of pecan and bacon flavor, the mornay sauce was rich and creamy, marinated tomatoes came on the side along with a cup of mixed greens, and the Gouda and the sunny side egg crowned the open faced dish with the egg having the most perfect run I've ever seen. I had the BBQ chopped salad which was exactly what I was looking for in a salad. Of course I ordered their Bacon Old Fashioned with a fancy ice cube that had a hog image in it and my friend ordered their Bloody Mary which came with a proper beer chaser which was again perfect; not too spicy, but definitely not mild. And the final drink that we ordered was a pineapple drink that was just as refreshing as it looked. Our server Amanda was excellent - we never felt rushed, overlooked, nor was she overly attentive. Handsome Hog is a favorite brunch spot and I can't wait until they open their patio... it's one of the best in town! Five stars for their amazingly delicious food and five stars for our server Amanda.
We really enjoyed this place. I liked the chicken and waffles, but I didn’t care for the apples on it. We also had the pig tails. I was skeptical, but they were very tasty. Just know that tails have bones! The Tennessee hot chicken sandwich was not like original hot chicken from Nashville- and there was very little meat on the bun. The chicken fried cauliflower was fabulous!
Been twice in the last year and have never been disappointed. I recommend reservations, but bar seating is sometimes available. The food is always amazing (not kidding). Breakfast and cocktails are unique takes on classics. The bloody Mary has a rib in it.
Stopped here for a happy hour treat and had some brisket sliders and their take on poutine. Both had good flavors and a 3$ (cheap) beer was a nice bonus. Looked high end for evening. Meats smoked in house.
Shut up and take my money, this place is INCREDIBLE!!! Cream is the name of the game when it comes to cocktails here. Purified heaven. All of their smoked meats are incredible. Personally loved the brisket and smoked chicken. The Cucumber salad and root salad are delicious.
Overall I would recommend Handsome Hog to just about anyone.Parking was initially hard to find, but then we spotted a lot to the west that Handsome Hog would validate the parking. Super slick, and only a minute walk to the restaurant in below zero temps!We were seated quickly, and the aroma of the kitchen wafted through the dining area. Our server was attentive, and we were able to get our drink order fairly fast. After ordering food, it did take a while, but that could have been a function of it being a Saturday night.My only main gripe was that it was so loud in the space, given the concrete floors and metal finishes, there weren't a lot of features that absorbed the sound. It was hard to have a conversation even with only two people.
We started with one biscuit and one cornbread muffin, each split, in lieu of a starter. The cornbread was excellent; the biscuit was good, but not the star. Loved the spicy honey butter on both, but the cornbread could do without it.Entrees were salad (so big and so filling! Cornbread croutons were delicious!) with a side of Mac n cheese (ask for extra cheetos, they really make the dish shine!) and the two meat platter (ribs were good, BF liked the brisket best).Overall, a good dining experience. Highly recommend making a reservation-- we did not and were very lucky to squeeze in.
Sazerac and old fashioned were darn good. The dry-rub ribs were tasty, even without BBQ sauce. Brisket was melt in your mouth delicious. Smoked chicken was indeed smokey. The cayenne honey butter was spicy but so good on the corn bread. Very pleased we decided to stop here after skiing. We enjoyed great service at the bar.
