    Beef rib and sides. Wonderful!

    Today, Saturday, there were some extra beef ribs coming out of the rest when I arrived. What a treat to stumble into! To guarantee a rib you need to reserve it on Friday. Get some. Worth it! This one bone will feed me for three days. Visit Black Hog.

    Love the rooftop, great BBQ, and friendly service! Such a great spot--I absolutely love this place!

    First time going back since the renovation. The inside of much more open now and they added an awesome rooftop bar. The rooftop bar is certainly the place to be and it allows dogs. The service is consistent and they are very attentive. I had the Texas sausage and the brisket with two sides and piece of cornbread. The sweet tea always has a funny aftertaste and I can't quite put my finger on it. The brisket was good and I added some of their house sauce on it. The sides were good too and the beans have a nice little kick to them but aren't spicy. The inside is very open with plenty of seating and two bars total (one inside and one rooftop). Check them out if you're downtown!

    I stopped in to Black Hog BBQ after being in the area for work and was excited to finally visit. This is a business I have been hearing about for nearly 2 years and have been wanting to check out. I was generous and rounded my review up to 4 stars but a 3.5 star review is more accurate of this restaurant. The restaurant is clean and bright, has plenty of seating, rooftop outdoor space, and a private parking lot. The staff were friendly and attentive and were happy to give recommendations on what to order. I ordered the two meat platter picking brisket and Arkansas brisket (burnt ends). Food came out fast and was fresh. All the meat was wonderfully cooked (having lived in OK and TX I am particular about bbq). I would have liked a little more "bark" on the brisket but that's a personal preference. The MD baked beans were one of my sides and they were impressive. Good flavor with some spice to them but they did have ZERO smoke taste. The Mac and Cheese also had ZERO smoke taste, was not hot, and lacked the creaminess I was looking for. I would not recommend the Mac and cheese. Corn bread was dry... no surprise there. In summary - the meats are good, the sides are hit and miss. I would like to see them offer a 3 or 4 meat meal option so an individual could really sample the menu.

    My roommate and I came here after a long day of shopping. We love bbq. We got sat immediately and the staff was attentive to us. It wasn't super busy but I feel like it still would be even if it was. Though nothing will amount to my grandfathers bbq I did think the food was good. I liked the sausage and brisket that I got. My roommate for the burnt tips. They also have a variety of sauces to choose from to put on your meat. I chose the Kansas City. The energy was industrial but cute. It had a bunch of t a playing games or shows. There is also a bar. If you are GLUTEN FREE there are no gluten free buns for the sandwiches but you can just get the platter.

    We were on our way to a sandwich shop when we spotted Black Hog and decided to check out their menu. It looked delicious so we switched gears and got a table. It has a nice interior feel and once you order they bring out a caddy of different house made and one store bought sauces. Being a Saturday we were recommended to try the whole hog special, only offered on Saturdays and we decided why not. While they didn't hit everything out of the park it was decent BBQ and we'd be down to come back. What we got: Whole hog (review of our choice of sides below) - 3.5* I really liked the meat (nice and moist), the slider was alright (drier meat), the dry rib wasn't amazing though I really enjoyed the rub (they accidentally gave us a wet rib and let us keep it. I thought the wet rib was better but that could be because they had their delicious kansas city sauce on it. My husband thought the flavoring on both were really good but the meat didn't fall off the bone which is his gold standard for good ribs), and the cracklings weren't my favourite but I don't like them to begin with. We were disappointed the pickle wasn't a whole pickle, just three slices. And the pickles onions were also almost a small handful but I did like them. The cornbread was really good! Arkansas brisket (add on, son1/4 lb) - 4* I enjoyed it and loved the sauce. My more intense bbq connoisseur husband thought it was a bit overcooked and relied too much on the sauce for flavor Sides: Brown sugar sweet potato - 3.5* my favourite part was drinking down the leftover sugar juices. The sweet potato were nice and soft and I enjoyed the flavour. Coleslaw - 3* nothing spectacular and wouldn't order again.

    The bbq here is a solid choice! Everything is truly good and we look forward to our next visit . Our visit visit was pretty late and they had sold out of much of their menu. Our second one - we came back specifically to try the whole hog platter. It was a bit disappointing with the volume and styles of meats. but still had several types of pork included which was different from some of the other cuts usually offered. Note that the whole hog is on Saturday only and they havnt updated their menus to reflect this.

    While traveling we found this gem. We were greeted quickly by the friendly hostess. Waitress made a couple of recommendations and we took her up on them. The meal was plenty for two. We did add the ribs. The meats were smoked to perfection and oh so flavorful. They had different bbq sauces we like the KS one best. Everything is made in house and it was great. No complaints here!

    Great & Friendly service. Caroline was a fantastic server. While awaiting our food, there was a good ambiance with a live perform.Our food ended coming out relatively quickly and was absolutely delicious. We got the Arkansas brisket and the ribs and they were so yummy!! The ribs were tender and saucy!! The brisket was also solid. Definitely get the cornbread if you can handle spice. They are spicy!

    The food was good, the service was a complete different story. Sat and waited for a witress for 15 minutes, the restaurant was a third full. Once got witress placed order... then needed to get up again after waiting 20 minutes and a couple passing by from waitress to get the check. If you are paying Apple Pay, you need to give phone up to witress to bring to pay or get up and tap at witress station. All and all they may be good to cater something but in dinner room experience leaves a lot to be desired. But the strobe lights becomes of a broken light did not seem to concern the staff.

    I've visited this restaurant a few times before and it's generally a decent spot to grab some good food. However, on this visit, they were out of almost all their menu items -- only sausage and chicken were available. Unfortunately, I ended up leaving to grab dinner elsewhere since I was really looking forward to some barbecue. I'd recommend calling ahead if you plan to visit this location to make sure they have a full menu available. If not, there are plenty of other amazing food options just a short walk down the street. Margarita was decent but a bit expensive.

    Texas Brisket, baked beans, sweet potatoes, burnt ends.

    Went here somewhat early in the evening, wasn't busy in the restaurant at all. The renovations make it much more efficient, they have a roof top area now which would be nice on a cooler day. Food was great, probably the best BBQ in the Frederick area if you ask me. I think if it was closer to the downtown area of Frederick, it would be significantly busier.

I've eaten at this Black Hog location (and their ones in downtown Frederick and Urbana) many times. All produce reasonable 'que - not award winning, but consistent and decent quality. Today's choice was a brisket sandwich. The meat was nicely cooked, and the bark looked nice, but it was underseasoned. As a result, it had no punch on the first bite or any that followed. I generally don't like to put sauce on brisket. The bark and the meat should speak for themselves, but in this case, I decided to try the three sauces that came with it: vinegar (Really? For brisket?), a sweet Memphis style, and a thicker Kansas City style. The latter two were too sweet for brisket, and the former was, well, an abomination. IMHO. The sandwich came with one side. I got potato salad, which also needed some pickle pieces, onions, paprika, cayenne - anything that added punch. Not the worst I've had in town, but not the best. (Yeah, yeah, I know it's subjective, but I'll stack my potato salad against anyone's. My Aunt Helen taught me well). Oh, I'll be back, don't you worry. Black Hog serves a consistent, decent product that is the best available in Frederick It's just not close to what I can eat from any of the countless hole-in-the-wall joints pretty much anywhere in Texas. But it's a much shorter drive...

For a small restaurant they had a full bar with a decent bourbon and whiskey selection. Their menu is flexible, allowing options for various combos - so you can try whatever you want. I ordered a brisket sandwich with a side of burnt ends. Burnt ends are my favorite and I was SLIGHTLY disappointed because they weren't "crispy" like I like, but the flavor was great. The price was in line with other BBQ joints, so no surprises there. We'll definitely be back.

It was a bit on the bland side and the batter is a little confusing. I was expecting a cornmeal style batter or similar, but got something different. The fish itself had potential to be very good. The beans also left a lot to be desired, just lacked flavor and taste. The business looks like they do a lot of catering as opposed to dining (possible a lot of to go orders, too).

If…read morelooking for a more traditional Korean dining experience, skip this spot or risk being disappointed. On the way home from a weekend road trip out of the city, we decided to stop here for our first Korean BBQ experience since moving to the east coast. As others have said, the lighting is very dim, which makes it difficult to confirm when your food is done grilling. We opted for the BBQ-only lunch option (not the combo of DIY BBQ and hot pot). The lunch portions are typically smaller with thinner-cut meats. All diners are on a 2-hour time limit, which is reasonable. Rather than provide diners typical Korean side dishes, which is what I always prefer to spend most of my time and calories consuming, there is a buffet that has only extremely limited veggie options. I went for the kimchi and seaweed salad (not a typical Korean side dish, but it was one of the only green things available). The kimchi was definitely a McDonald's-like version of traditional kimchi, not as fully fermented and with lots of filler. The most disappointing part of this chain of restaurants is the dinnerware. It's been widely researched and reported that hot food and plastics do not mix. Given the known carcinogenic effects, I was surprised that the only plates or bowls here are made of plastic. As such, I avoided putting any food from the grill onto my plate and instead ate straight from the grill. Not ideal. As for the usual dipping sauces that accompany Korean BBQ, this was--you guessed it--DIY. I tend to prefer a salt/pepper/oil dipping sauce, but there wasn't really any neutral oil on the buffet, so I went with the vinegar option instead. As for the meat quality, the ones that come marinated are by far of lower quality. I would recommend the beef belly or beef brisket, neither of which is marinated and are much closer to typical Korean BBQ-style meat. My other preferred selections were both types of mushrooms and onion. I also ordered green tea, but it never arrived because they didn't have hot water (what??). Paper napkins (the only option here) are not on the table or buffet and are provided sparingly. Bottom line: Service was good and efficient. Food, ambiance, and dinnerware were extremely lacking. I hear Annandale has authentic Korean BBQ, so maybe try that instead.
