    Chicken with green beans baked taters
    Precious M.

    I've been craving all kinds of things this week and when I seen the great reviews on Hogs I gave in! We ordered up front then sat ourselves and our food was brought out to us. The lady in the front was friendly and let us know what she liked on the menu. I order the smoked chicken that came with hush puppies and two sides. For my sides I chose green beans and tater fries. I loved the green beans and tater fries. As for the smoked chicken, it was good but just kind of too dry for my liking. Overall, the experience was great and my food wasn't all bad. I will definitely be back to try other stuff on the menu.

    Excellent BBQ and everything else. Well worth a drive from Charlotte, which is the largest city in NC. (had to have 85 more characters).

    This is one of my favorite local BBQ spots, I definitely recommend Hog Wild when it's an option (due to limited hours)

    I had the Bar-B-Que plate and it was delicious…read more The service was excellent also. I walked in and I knew the food was gonna be good just because of the way the place looked. It looked like a country barbecue place.

It took FOREVER to come out and then everything was barely lukewarm. I don't know how they managed that when they seem so busy. I didn't send it back because it took so long. BBQ was ok. Fries and rings are from frozen of course. Would have been better hot of course. Second time I got the cheeseburger and tater tots. Cheeseburger was cooked well done. They didn't ask me how I wanted it. Tater tots and hush puppies are frozen food service stuff of course too. Prices are pretty cheap but you get what you pay for. I would have preferred a juicy Whopper or some premium fast food burger for the money and it wouldn't have taken an hour! My nephew got the chicken tenders. They are also food service frozen chicken. Chicken pie is shredded chicken and some kinda combo of mayo, sour cream, cream of chicken soup with baked with buttered crackers on top. Service was ok, friendly. Nothing special. Had to walk up to the counter for refills both nights. The restaurant is small, fairly clean, diner style ambiance. If you have more than 4 in your party it's hard to find seating. You have to move tables and chairs to make it happen.

    On a recent visit to the Hickory area, I was advised that Hannah's BBQ was the best BBQ restaurant…read morein the area. I decided to put that advice to the test and my friend and I stopped by for dinner before attending a concert. I had a really delicious plain chopped BBQ sandwich with an order of "frips," what I would call "hot chips." I added some of their homemade BBQ sauce to my sandwich and it was really good! I was told their sauce won an award at some point, which didn't surprise me. The restaurant is small and very homey, which was something I appreciated. Living in a larger city, I'm not used to this type of restaurant, but I liked this location. The service was good, we didn't have to request any refills or the check. I enjoyed my visit and would return for further BBQ when I'm back in this area of North Carolina!

    I've heard for years that Hannah's had great barbecue, but I'm not the biggest fan of barbecue, so…read moreit's taken me a while to put that theory to the test. I'm so glad I did. I applaud Hannah's for being open during the Stay at Home order. I called my order in and they said they'd have it ready in 5 minutes. The woman taking the order on the phone was kind and efficient. And they did indeed have my food ready in just 5 minutes! When I came to pick up my order, I noted how clean the establishment was. They have tape on the floor as well, spaced 6 feet apart to promote social distancing while picking up your order. The sandwich itself was delicious. The barbecue was flavorful and smoky, and topped with the creamy slaw and barbecue sauce, it was a perfect bite. The one thing I found needing improvement was the bread. The bun was cold and very bready and thick. That is a personal preference, however. Some may like a large roll. I ended up taking the top bun off and eating the bottom with a fork. Perfect! The fries were crispy and seasoned well and the tea was sweet and cold! A really yummy lunch. I'd definitely go back!

They have so many options for food that are normally not available for people with allergies. I couldn't decide on one thing so I ordered several things. For starters, the chicken sandwich was huge. It was perfectly fried and very crispy. The bun held together and didn't fall apart. If you are gluten free, you know this is hard to find. I would say I only ate about 1/3 of the sandwich, it was so large. I also ordered the fried okra which were very crispy and the coating was light and flavorful. It's one on my favorite things to order here and a can't miss if you love fried okra. The next favorite was hush puppies. They reminded me of the hush puppies I used to eat growing up and have missed dearly. The prefect combination of sweet and crunchy. And i couldn't leave without trying the fried pickles. The owner, Lisa, and I were speaking about all the options and I told her how much I love having all these options. She included a small side of spicy pickles for me to try and they were even better than the regular. Not overly spicy and a great combination with breading and ranch dressing. I can't wait to return to try the fried jalapeños and the brisket. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are amazing. I ordered all of the food (6 different things) and a drink for $26. It was way more than I could eat but I wanted to try it all. The atmosphere is casual and the booths are cafeteria style for a very comfortable, southern experience.
