This is a smaller location but has enough seating for large parties and all the in between. On the right is a small bar section with a decent amount of seating. The place is designed to be casual and chill. The service has always been pretty good, attentive and helpful! The food! My favorite thing to get has always been the dry rub ribs and dry rub chicken wings! I love their dry rub seasoning, it is a bit on the sweater side but is always a solid choice! Wings are large and go well with the dry rub. Ribs 5/5 Wings 5/5 The bbq, if I'm honest, I do think their brisket is a bit dry even when asked for "moist brisket" it's still pretty dry, not my favorite. 2/5 The pulled pork is great, good flavor and tenderness! 4/5 Overall, great place to get quick and good food, it is a little expensive, but I think it's worth the quality and taste! 4/5 read more

We just finished an early dinner here. We ordered the Triple special (3 ribs, 2 pieces of chicken, cornbread, 2 sides, and 1 choice of BBQ meat) and a cheeseburger. The 3 sides were fries, sweet potatoes with brown sugar, and pinto beans with rice. They were fairly good. As for the meat, I thought the ribs, smoked ribs, and chicken thigh were juicy and delicious! These three meats are worth a second (if not a third) visit! The cheeseburger was okay. The chicken breast was, unfortunately, forgettable. The spices on the chicken thigh and breast were superb. The service was really good! $51 post tax for 2 adults and 2 toddlers was super worth it! read more

Always amazing. This is the only actual wood smoked BBQ I've found in the area and it's consistently fantastic. Stopped in for lunch and picked up a pound of pork shoulder for dinner. It was a slow rainy and snowy afternoon but the bartender was really nice and the brisket sandwich was amazing. I had a side of Mac and Cheese and promptly went home for a nap. read more

Black Hog BBQ - Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Ijamsville, Maryland

You had me at BBQ. 1. The Coleslaw (i know i know) but its my go-to for Fish and Chips and for BBQ was to die for! 2. Wait, i get to choose dry rub or wet ribs? Wow. The dry rub was selected and was amazing! 3. The fries were good. 4. The grilled cheese was perfect! 5. The ham was seared to perfection Why not go further, exceed expectations and add pickled veggies. Not sweet but savory pickles. Then add pickled onions. Wow. The Black Hog shot to the top of our let's go back places. When we are hankering for BBQ we will hanker our way to Black Pig. Does one hanker or wander? Asking for a friend. read more

Black Hog BBQ was a fun place to check out with friends. They have a fun drink menu and delicious BBQ options. From Ribs and wings to sandwiches and platters, they have options for any size appetite. I had their brisket sandwich and mac and cheese. I enjoyed indulging in the rich and creamy mac and cheese, and the brisket sandwich was just as solid. I would compare this place to Mission BBQ in terms of their quality of meat too. Definitely coming back! read more

Great to stop by for some delicious bbq. Their brisket is solid and the plain chicken wings are amazing!! I also love their brisket chili it is all meat in there very good food overall even the cornbread I dont enjoy from many places and theirs is just right in terms of balance. The spicy bbq sauce is also very good! Solid place. read more

Food, as always was absolutely delicious. We had a full rack of ribs, and an add on of brisket. Service was pretty fast. Noise level was very high. We will go there again, it's our favorite place for ribs. read more

We stopped by for the Valentine's Day special for two. It was AMAZING good! We each got a cup of gumbo, 4 bone ribs and a side. The gumbo was not too thick and had a lovely smoky, slightly spicy flavor. The ribs were absolutely perfect! Sides were delicious! Included was peanut butter pie to share--not too sweet, wonderfully rich. Price was just right too! This location has such a nice cozy atmosphere, everyone is friendly too! read more

Greetings, this was one of the more terrible dining experiences I've experienced in 2026. The racist behavior of the staff was settle at first but progressively got throughout the service. All of our services were delayed and my food came out cold. I had my children with me and literally felt unsafe to complain do to the environment. If you are African American I strongly encourage to go somewhere else, they do not value our dollar. read more

I have been here many times over the years. The experience was excellent, just like other times. I absolutely love their dry St Louis ribs. This time, I also tried their sweet potato. Omg. It was so good. The Gumbo was delicious but is a little on the salty side. Definitely will be back soon. read more

Black Hog BBQ came highly recommended from locals. As for food, I had the Classic buffalo wings, pulled pork shoulder, smoked chicken and sausage gumbo. Portion sizes were good for the price. I am from the Carolinas but enjoy the Kansas City sauce more than anything vinegar based. Their Kansas sauce was not the best but it got the job done. read more

A return visit to Black Hog reveals that the food is still delicious. My favorite is the sausage, but the shredded pork is delicious ...as are several of the sauces. Keep it up! This would be a longer review but I am certain I already have one... read more

We went here based on a recommendation from a friend who said it was his favorite BBQ place in the DMV. It was good (though am HUGE fan of Mission BBQ). Food: (4/5): Smoked pork shoulder - This was amazing - really tender with lots of pepper. Brisket- a bit fatty and not as moist as I would've liked. Dry Ribs: I have never had these before and they were delicious! I love ribs but hate all the sauce that overwhelms the flavor. Next time I will order these! Sides: Mac and cheese - Meh, a bit bland but was really great with the pulled pork! Throw some bacon and green onions on that and call it a day! Sweet potatoes- So yummy - more like Thanksgiving caramelized yams - they were baked with lots of brown sugar and spices! Service (5/5): Liam was really kind. Half my party went to the wrong location (Frederick) and he waited to put in the order right before they came so it was waiting for them to show up. Food literally comes in 10 minutes. Atmosphere (3/5): Strip mall in suburban Urbana...needs some outside seating. read more

Awesome food, staff and service. The Texas and Arkansas brisket were perfection - flavorful and not too fatty. Side portions were just right too. Our friends had their (loud) one-year-old with them and the employees were so good with him. We kept forgetting to ask for the check because we were enjoying their interactions with the little guy so much. This will absolutely be a go-to for future get togethers read more

Delicious brisket abd yummy baked beans. Brenda the wait staff was friendly and helpful with explaining the menu. Everything she suggested to eat was fantastic. I recommend this delicious food and terrific restaurant Enjoy. Thanks Lynda W read more

Not much flavor but good just not worth the money. Sauce was okay but the sweet tea had a somewhat dish water taste as well as the water.

I would say a hit or a miss. Pretty good food, but very expensive now. It's definitely not the best BBQ around here and they don't do anything that makes the food taste unique or special. The meat is good and does taste smoked. I got the brisket which did taste good. I also do like the variety of bbq sauce options. The Mac & Cheese taste like a boxed one not homemade. The beans taste like the typical one from the can. Overall, I would eat here again, but it wouldn't be my first pick. read more

Tuesdays are buy one get the second half off for the rack of ribs. Been here at this location over a dozen times and they are always consistently good as far as the food provided - so flavorful! They have dry rub wings, my favorite non dry rub wings are the mustard (tangy). The dry rub and sauces are literally finger licking good. The bacon burger is charbroiled crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. How they place the items on the plate are also done w perfect care! The venue isn't anything fancy paper towel rolls on each table with a tray of extra sauces you can sample. The pictures speak for themselves. Sat at the bar a few times and enjoyed conversations with the bartender. Anytime I'm out in Urbana/ijamsville we make a pit stop here for food. Does not disappoint. read more

Awesome food, and Great place to eat. Nice People there as well. Service was spot on for Dinner too. We ate more than we should have it was soo good. read more

Just left this location for dinner. Huge disappointment. Food isn't good, lacks seasoning and not flavorful. Best thing we had was the buffalo chicken wings. All the sides were not tasty - at all. We tried the baked beans, potato salad, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes and collard greens. None were good. Choose the Frederick locations. Food is much better. read more

The food pre-pandemic used to be really good here and the prices were very reasonable. Now it's just a reflection of corporate greed. They have open multiple locations and the food quality has gone way down yet the prices have gone up. The ribs were very fatty and had grizzly parts and the pulled pork is just greasy. I am disappointed because it used to be my favorite place to get barbecue. read more

A surprising strip mall find in our travels. Chili and gumbo both were loaded with meat and all things delicious! Gumbo was a little too spicy for me but the chili had a great flavor with plenty of heat. We both had a side of the Arkansas brisket which was tender and full of flavor. Friendly staff and a nice intimate bar with lots of specials. Glad to see open and busy during the scamdemic read more

When you choose to visit a BBQ establishment, you most likely chose the restaurant because you craved BBQ. Unfortunately, the 2-times my husband and I chose Black Hog, they were out of the pork BBQ, which is very strange indeed. The atmosphere wasn't very inviting to me. Moreover, the alternative dish I chose was mediocre at best as the sauce tasted more like vinegar. One day I will give Black Hog another try, but in the meantime, they must realize that being out of BBQ is not a great look whatsoever. read more

A perfect surprise dinner after a long day's work! This restaurant aint fancy..and the menus are lamented, but ohhh man, the food was sooo good. We ate ribs (Arkansas style), brisket, baked beans, fries, and gumbo. Who knew Frederick, Maryland was serving up some gumbo that would make you rethink your life choices??....that was some tasty, flavorful (with just enough spice kick) gumbo..highly recommend for an appetizer. Everything we ate was good, so you can't go wrong with choosing anything on the menu. The place is small, and has a country low key feel to it...very homely...and the food taste homemade. Fun fact about their desserts: so they offer up a couple of choices, and on our particular visit, all the options were pies. They get their pies (and other desserts) from the same pastry chef that caters The Tasting Room in downtown Frederick. They had banana cream, peanut butter, chocolate mousse, and coca cola chocolate pie. We had the peanut butter pie, which had a chocolate graham crust, peanut butter filling that was whipped to a less than dense cheesecake texture, and topped with whip cream. This was positively divine! Overall, get your tail to this restaurant located in this strip mall....and come hungry because its all good! read more

COVID-19 dining experience: We had just finished hiking Sugarloaf Mountain. Seeing this bbq gem not too far post-our hike was well needed. We chose to eat inside and staff were friendly and got us seated right away. You have to order the bbq pork fries. Sumptuous pieces of shredded pork top crispy fries. The ribs with a dry rub are a good way to try their smoked meats. The restaurant has bbq sauce a la carte on the table. I preferred the Kansas City style sauce. definitely recommend if you're in the area or catching up on burned calories from hiking. read more

I have been wanting to come here for yearsss, and finally had the opportunity. REVIEW 1. Menu had good decent prices. 2. Food arrived QUICK. 3. BBQ wings (appetizer) were big & delicious. 4. Beef Brisket was good (but must add sauce) 5. Ribs, DELICIOUSNESS! 6. Mac-n-cheese was disappointing, too dry and cold. Tasted almost as if it was old. 7. Southern Greens; terrible, stopped eating them. 8. Cornbread; catastrophe, no flavor! 9. Arkansas Brisket; BEYOND DELICIOUS!!! 10. Sausage; unsatisfying... yikes! 11. Fries; amazing and crisp! 12. Salad; basic and poor, like a McDonald's Salad. 12. Host; quick but seemed bored and annoyed. ‍ 13. Server; Brittany was super duper amazing!!! Overall this place was decent. I heard great things but didn't get that full experience. I might try it again sometime in hopes to make better choices. read more

Black Hog BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Ijamsville, Maryland

The Urbana Village Center has sandwiched Black Hog BBQ between Ledo's on one end and Buffalo Wings on the other end; Jimmy John's was right next door. We danced in because it was "Feeding Time". The wife got their Brisket Salad and did not feel it was quite enough to satisfy. The salad needed some green peppers, carrots, celery, red cabbage or something more for sure. We got home and she said "I'm hungry!" I was satisfied with my Triple Meat MoFo and Baked Beans. Nothing like a photo of this menu item description in the picture right? It was a very busy place and some folks even had to wait for a table. The waiter was right on top of things - in addition to taking care of us he was also alone tending bar, what a guy! read more

I'm not usually a BBQ person but these sauces are so good and unique. I had the chicken with cornbread and fries. The cornbread is so yummy and fries taste like boardwalk fries (dipped them in sauce too, very yummy). Sweet tea is perfectly sweet and the service is friendly and quick. Great for a delicious casual sit down. read more

The food was good, but a little pricey. I could not understand why they did not have a kids meal!

Great BBQ First trip back since covid. Great service. Beef and pork bbq excellent and just love the collard greens. Great service !! read more

Can you go to Black Hog at least once a week. You can go to the bar and Brenda is a great bartender and extremely personable food. There is amazing. The southern greens very tasteful with a little bit of a kick, and all the sauces are amazing. I use every single one. read more

Urbana, or Ijamsville -- depending on what map you look at -- is not exactly a nearby suburb of the DC area, and its rather far from both my work routes and house. Black Hog is worth the trip. I'll stop by whenever I'm in the area, and the BBQ is always great. My last visit was a Carolina style bbq pork sandwich. This is where a lot of BBQ places fall down: Carolina style is incredibly different, and most places do either regular bbq or Carolina style well, but not both. Black Hog nails the vinegary sauce. I've had their ribs several times, too, which I get Kansas City style, covered in sauce. The sauce is not too sweet, but rich and smokey, and deliciously compliments the ribs. Definitely try their gumbo, too. Its hard to find good gumbo, and Black Hog absolutely nails it. Now, if only someone could explain the weird prices on the menu... ($14.10...?) read more

First time visiting there. We went this past Saturday and enjoyed every moment. The food was great, but I especially loved the Baked Beans!! So good, I had to get an additional order to go. Oh yeah, and the cornbread too. I honestly don't eat meat much (not really a vegan) but I ate the brisket and it was great. No disappointment at all. The ribs that were served kind of fell off the bone which was great. Will be going back soon. read more
