We have always drove by this wanting to stop. Today we did and are not disappointed with our decision. They were very busy but we didn't wait too terribly long. Our order was wrong when it arrived but i think it was because we were not sure what we wanted and asked a lot of questions. You do habe to order from a screen and take a number. The screen was hard for me to read but they gave me a handheld menu. Food was AMAZING. Especially the spicy hog tide bbq sauce and potato salad. Ordered burnt ends, brisket, and ribs. All were fabulous. Ate everything. They also have outdoor seating, tables, and a to go counter. read more

The food is overall good and you get a well sized portion with your meal. The pork I had was exceptional. I wasn't crazy about the flavor of the fries and thought the Cole slaw a little flat for flavor. That said, good barbecue is worth its weight in gold. The staff is friendly and courteous. It's a seat yourself type diner and they bring the food out. We like the sports shows to watch while we are eating on the several hanging televisions. A pleasant experience. We did mention it was our anniversary and the cashier was like ok. Would have been nice to get a freebie haha. Prices are decent, though. read more

Real simple review: I'd drive some real distance to come here to eat. Matter of fact...I already drive about 35 miles one way to go here. But I'd sure go further....this place is that good! read more

Dropped by Drew McNutt's Hig Tide BBQ in Aurora, MO...Burnt Ends Platter was deliscious! Cozy atmosphere and excellent service!

Went at about 2 pm. and no one was there so I had it to myself. This is my third time here and I'm satisfied each time. Very good BBQ. And dessert was wonderful. read more

Friendly welcome, excellent BBQ, friendly and efficient service. The ribs had a distinct but very tasty smoke flavor, falling off the bone tender and served with a tasty sweet sauce. The homemade chips were salty enough to eat plain. The slaw was ok but I'm a KFC slaw guy--sweeter and wetter. Another guy at our table had a brisket sandwich that looked awesome. Next time I'll have to ask how to order to get the 4" high pile of onion straws that cover half of a platter. We missed by not getting those. I'll be back. read more

I've lived in KC most of my life and ate at all the great places for BBQ!! Moved to Maine several years ago and try to get back to the Midwest as often as possible!! But this trip came back to visit family and decided to try out a small place down in the sticks of southern Missouri I didn't have high expectations at all but boy let me tell you this was place was in my top three of all time best BBQ I've ever had in my life!! By far the least fat of any BBQ I've had in the last 10 years!! The sauce was to die for!! The service was midwestern perfect everybody there bent over backwards to make you happy!! Love the decor and the exterior neon sign is epic loved it!! Talked to the owner and he is a great guy always stopping by to check on ya along with his employees!!

I did a favor for a good friend in Aurora. She treated me to Hog Tide! We did not eat there but I went inside to get a feel for the place. Such a great BBQ, laid back atmosphere! The pick up order was ready when I arrived. The food was so tasty! BBQ'ed chicken sandwich, YUM! Paired with loaded baked potato salad. I think I owe my friend another favor!!! read more

Probably would go 4.5* but couldn't go down to 4, so I rounded up. Well put together environment that feels both professional yet genuine. 4.5* Friendly and helpful service. 5* Priced fair 5* I had the burnt ends. A bit overcooked, and some were on the dry side. Smothered in sauce, which I didn't like. Exceptional smoke and flavor, though. 4* Side of coleslaw. Needed seasoning something fierce 2*, but once i added salt and pepper, I would give 4* Mac and cheese was nothing special. Pretty straightforward shells and cheese. Too runny imo. 3* I liked their "spicy" sauce. 4* read more

I love the food and the people here. This multiple award-winning BBQ restaurant is so fantastic if you're really looking for a good place to take your family with a unique, authentic experience. Go to the Aurora location. read more

Great food and excellent service!! The burnt ends are to die for!! So are the brisket nachos

Wish I could give it 6 stars. I've eaten at the majority of the BBQ spots in the area and this one is easily top 3. Flavor, customer service, and atmosphere. I only had 1 of the sauces, but the one I did have was sweet and delicious and I generally gravitate towards a spicier sauce. I had chicken, sausage, and brisket all of which were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The sides I got were beans and mac & cheese. Both top tier in their category. One of the things I noticed the most about Hog Tide was the customer service. The gal taking orders greeted everyone with a smile and a great attitude. If you want to take a little drive west of republic for a great meal and experience stop on out to Hog Tide. read more

HOG Tide BBQ is by far the best BBQ I have had in SW Missouri. Service was outstanding. It was well worth the drive.

Got takeout. Everything was really good!! Had the ribs, wings, burnt ends, brisket and pork. My favorite was the burnt ends!!

Awesome food! Great servers. Neat atmosphere. Ribs are to die for. No wonder they have some many accolades.

It was fine. I think they were having a rough morning the day we were there. The ice for the drinks came in the back door 20 minutes after they opened, so clearly it was a bit of a scramble for them. The meats were good. Not the best I've ever had, but within striking distance of the BBQ joints I frequented in Texas. The sides were a letdown. Some of it was that they were a different style than I prefer, but there was plenty of opportunity for better execution, too. read more

Out for a motorcycle ride, and everyone was hungry, so we stopped. I got the chicken nachos, most everyone else got the same along with some sausage. Came out decently quick, okay size portions. A sweet BBQ sauce, canned cheese, and store bought chips. The chicken wasn't that great, no real smoked flavor and it was pretty cold. The staff was nice, but the BBQ was less than average. I guess if it's your only stop in a 30 mile radius it will work in a pinch. read more

Best BBQ around with friendly service. Huge menu with reasonable prices. Clean, up kept. My favorite BBQ place!! read more

We've dined here once and have gotten carry out several times. Carry out has always been accurate. It's all good. You can't go wrong with anything. They serve beer. Service is prompt. FYI it sits north of 60 on an unpaved road. If your traveling east you might miss it. We'd recommend it. read more

Awesome pulled pork nachos! Enough for two or three people!! Hubby had pulled pork and loaded potato salad. Very good! Better than Mom's potato salad !!!! read more

The food was amazing! Their homemade chips were amazing and a perfect side for the Carolina Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich I ordered. read more

We had a beautiful wedding for 80 at The Venue at Stockton Lake, and Hog Tide Bar-B-Que catered the event. We chose them simply by googling bar-b-que places in the area and loved the food when we met with them for a consultation. They showed up right on time to the wedding, and they were all so friendly and professional. The food was attractively displayed and was hot and delicious! They cleaned up quickly and left the Venue kitchen better than when they arrived. I should mention that most of my brothers and sisters live out of state, and when they come to Kansas City, they always want to try a different Bar-B-Que place. It's a thing with them for the last 15 years, and then they critique it like they are food critics or something. My brother-in-law said this was probably the best bar-b-que he had ever had in his life. I had many guests talk about the food and how great it was, and where did we get that? My other brother talked about how moist the smoked chopped chicken was, and the chopped brisket was supreme. The baked beans and macaroni and cheese was also a big hit, and the corn bread melted in your mouth. Guest after guest brought up the great food as they said good night. The wedding was just as we hoped it would be: elegant, welcoming, and a great night for our friends and family. Hog Tide Bar-B-Que helped make that happen, and we are so glad we went with Hog Tide Bar-B-Que! I should also had the price was more than fair!!! read more

I went to this bar b que place a few weeks ago. I wasnt impressed really. It could of been better. They had good sauce, and plenty of choices in meat only. If your looking for a real meaty joint. The staff were nice, which is good. It was open, so getting around wasnt a challenge. It wasnt loud either, if you like to talk and have conversation while having a meal. Not saying its a bad place, just wasnt impressed. read more

I'm just reviewing the nachos, nothing else. I gave them a C+ to B-. Pros: 1) brisket was excellent, pork was okay (had two meats) Cons: 1) Used squirt (liquid) cheese instead of using shredded cheddar and then heating it up. Squirt cheese has no flavor, so it adds nothing to the nachos. Better to use shredded cheddar, which not only tastes 100% better, but it's a better experience eating. You just need to bake it for 5 min. 2) No layering. Once you eat the top layer of chips with the meat, it's just plain chips all the way down from there - there's no more meat. 3) I didn't love their sauces, but that's a personal taste. I'm sure that if you prefer darker bbq sauce, it's just fine. All in all, I was hoping for better, but in the end the nachos were just okay. Given that the meat (brisket) was so good, I'm guessing their non-nacho plates are really good. read more

YUM!!! I live in California where we have a large variety of BBQ places.. and I do mean a large variety. On a trip to Missouri we decided to stop and try this place but we weren't expecting much. I'm a pretty picky eater but the food here did not disappoint!! Every bite was delicious, every side that we tried, the meat etc. Perfectly cooked, nothing dry or lacking flavor and the BBQ sauce was on-point! The woman that took out order was more than happy to answer our questions and was knowledgeable about every detail of their menu. Once seated they come and regularly offer to refill your drinks or provide napkins etc. I only had to get up from my seat once. I truly wish we had this in California, I would be a regular for sure! read more

One of our favorite places near Monett. The service is only surpassed by the quality of the food. Enjoyed nachos and wings to start and then enjoyed some good bbq. read more

I was really excited to try this today after reading the reviews but we left disappointed. We both ordered the two meat platter and got the smoked sausage and the smoked turkey . The meat was not hot and my onion strings were very greasy . They had good flavor at first but as they cooled my mouth was coated in grease , and I could see they were coated in grease when I put them in the to go container . read more

I was traveling on business and found this place on Yelp. I can't recommend it enough. Some of the best BBQ I've found for sure! The staff were attentive and friendly and even let me sample some of the smoked chicken, delicious! I plan on bringing my family back when they're out here visiting so they can experience what true BBQ is! read more

Very tasty Bar-B-Q! Their pulled pork is fantastic. I also love their ribs and Bar-B-Q beans! Highly recommend!

Excellent Texas style barbecue made with top quality meats. Informal indoor dining and outside picnic tables. Offer curbside but it is very hard to get in on their phone line. Their pork skins and dipping sauce are great. Loaded baked potatoes are killer sized. A little pricey but the best around and consistently good. read more
