Well, partner, you best steer your boots toward Smokin' Hawgs. Nestled in the old Main Street Pizza building, this joint might still be a work in progress, but it's already staking its claim as a local treasure. The inside seating might be on the cozy side, but don't let that fool you--there's ample room for comfort. And soon, a new patio with a gazebo will grace the front and side, offering a prime view of the creek that meanders beside it. While you're relaxin' and enjoyin' your meal, you'll also have a perfect view of the century-old courthouse in the town square, a grand piece of history that adds to the charm of this small town. Imagine sittin' under the gazebo, the sun setting over the horizon, and the gentle murmur of the creek as you savor every bite. That's the kind of experience Smokin' Hawgs is fixing' to offer. Now, let me tell y'all about the man behind the magic--Daryel. He's a dedicated chef and a fellow Masonic brother, rising with the rooster each morning to prepare the day's meats and sides. Every dish is crafted with pure love and passion, and it shows in every mouthful. **What we tried:** - **Brat Slider:** I took a bite, and it was like striking gold. Each morsel was a burst of flavor that had me wanting more. - **Pulled Pork Sandwich:** My wife saddled up to this dish, and let me tell ya, she's a tough critic. But this time, she cleaned her plate, leaving nary a crumb behind, except the bread. The pulled pork was plentiful, the baked beans were rich and savory, and the scalloped potatoes were creamy and delightful. - **4 Rib Meal:** My daughter chose this, and those ribs were tender as a gentle breeze, falling right off the bone. I had a taste of the beans--lip-smacking good, I tell ya. The ribs were seasoned to perfection, and each bite was a journey through flavor town. Daryel's signature sauces are the perfect sidekick to the star of the show--the meat. Each sauce complemented the flavors beautifully, adding a delightful kick that lingered on the taste buds. So, whether you're a local lookin' for your next favorite spot or just a traveler passing through, Smokin' Hawgs is worth every mile of the journey. With Daryel's dedication and the rustic charm of the place, you're in for a meal that's as memorable as a Western sunset. Giddy up and head on over to Smokin' Hawgs, where every meal is a culinary adventure crafted with heart and soul, all while takin' in the sights of the historic town square and its venerable courthouse.

Our waitress Makayla was not very excited to be there, not attentive either. Ordered the margarita, skip it, tasted like lime water .

It's very cool on the inside with vintage and Indiana-themed decor, tin ceilings, and, of course, a potbelly stove. The staff were friendly. But brother and I were very confused about the ordering process. There wasn't a lot of directional signage showing where to start and each step of the process. I watched a few other customers go through and they didn't seem like they had a problem so maybe it was just us. Next time I would probably just order online and pick it up so I could avoid the in-person ordering process altogether. I had the turkey sandwich and it was pretty good. I would say definitely a step up from your typical sub sandwich chain in terms of flavor and toppings options. I tried the chili mac as well. The chili is definitely à la Wendy's but I enjoyed it. The mac and cheese was good as well. I'd probably get either on its own but not together again. I also tried the Potbelly/Zapp's collab chips, the Hot Pepper flavor. They were good but are definitely not for everyone. When I visited, most of their fountain soda options were out of order so I settled on a no sugar added Pineapple Passionfruit juice/soda which was actually pretty good. We'll definitely be back - especially to try out their milkshakes!

Everything we ordered was wonderful. I got the Breaded Pork Tenderloin and fries (which is what they are known for and why we went there in the first place), and it was quite possibly the best one I've ever had. My mom got a Philly Cheesesteak and onion rings, both of which were excellent. We also both got desert and meatloaf dinners to take home, and while we haven't eaten those yet, they look great and smell divine! If you get anything dippable, don't miss out on their homemade ranch dipping sauce (thanks for the tip, Annabelle!), you'll thank me later! Super fun railroad decor throughout (as you might have guessed from the name). We thought everything was very readonably priced, especially with the portion sizes (our bill was right around $75 for FOUR meals, 2 drinks, and 2 deserts). We'll definitely go back and try other menu options!

They have some street parking as well as a nice sized gravel lot behind the building. I went in and paid for my order but it wasn't quite ready yet so I sat down at a table to wait. They have a few booths and some tables if you want to eat there. They have a few arcade games as well which is pretty cool. It's my understanding that they have a lunch buffet during the week but you may want to call ahead to make sure before you plan that. It wasn't long and my order came. I ordered some of the hot wings with bleu cheese and they were just ok. They really didn't have much heat or flavor at all in my opinion. I ordered the full size strom and it was huge, probably a good 12" and full of meats and cheese. It was decent. I ordered the pizza sticks as well and they were just ok. They were a bit on the dry side. I'm not real sure what the difference is between cheese sticks and the pizza sticks. The pizza sticks were basically pizza dough with cheese melted on top. My kids loved them. I ordered a small BLT pizza just for the sake of trying something new and it was so good and unique. It had a mayo sauce and bacon pieces then was topped with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes. It was definitely something like I've never had before and it was actually pretty good. My other pizza was the Loogootee special. It consisted of several meats, mushrooms onions and cheese. It was loaded with toppings and really had great flavor. I love the thinner crust of their pizzas. Overall it was a great experience and I'm sure now that I know more about the place I'll go more often! Just a side note, the girl who was taking orders and taking payment was super friendly!
