CAN WE ALL SAY CECES OBSESSION IS THIS PLACE!?? The family recently purchased a home on the river and we have been looking around at all the bbq spots. This is by far our favorite. I love coming from the river to grab their El Dorado. It's the perfect amount for 4/5 people. We always have leftovers. The cornbread is just delightful. The service is spectacular. EVERY.SINGLE. Time. We treat everyone that visits to our home cooking and then this bbq spot. It's that good. My girlfriend legit did not want to eat yesterday because they were closed. As soon as I woke up the keys and card were on the dresser ready to go. I called ahead but they don't start until you get here. Wait time is like 7- 10 minutes. You won't be unsatisfied. This place is truly family friendly. Everyone has space and napkins and multiple sauces. Come check them out. Tell them Cece sent you. read more

First time coming here. Was highly recommended by a friend. The food was decent. The brisket and pulled pork had a good smoky flavor to it. It was a little dry but overall good bbq. I wouldn't recommend the Mac and cheese. The cheese had a gritty consistency to it. The beans were great and so was the cornbread. The ambiance was a typical bbq place setting with outdoor seating and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I'll be sure to go back there again. This was the Hangtown sampler btw. read more

If you're looking for barbecue that blows past expectations and lands squarely in unforgettable territory, Hog Wild Barbecue in Placerville absolutely delivers. From the first bite to the last, everything about this place screams authentic, slow-smoked perfection. The meat is the real star of the show. Perfectly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, every bite practically melts in your mouth. The smoky aroma hits you first, followed by that rich, bold barbecue flavor that pops with every chew. Whether it's brisket, ribs, or pulled pork, the texture is exactly what great barbecue should be--fall-apart tender but still perfectly structured. Honestly, it might even be better than your dad's legendary backyard barbecue. Absolutely incredible side. These aren't the typical afterthought sides you get at most barbecue spots. Every dish tasted homemade, but somehow even better. From the creamy, savory comfort of the mac and cheese to the perfectly seasoned beans and fresh, flavorful slaw, each side dish holds its own next to the incredible meats. What truly elevates the experience, though, is the service. It's rare to see this level of care and hospitality. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely excited to make sure everyone was enjoying their meal. Even more impressive, the owner personally came out during service to check on tables and make sure every guest was completely satisfied. That kind of dedication and pride in the food and the experience is something you don't see every day. Between the phenomenal barbecue, the standout sides, and the impeccable service, Hog Wild Barbecue isn't just a great meal--it's a full experience. If you're anywhere near Placerville and craving real barbecue, this place is a must-visit. read more

This was a truly memorable spot. Showed up on a random Thursday and got a 2 meat plate with Baby back ribs and Brisket. It was cooked beautifully and the bbq sauce options were spot on. For sides, I had mashed potatoes and gravy and Mac and cheese. Both were delicious and worth getting again. Mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. It was so good, I went back 5 days later and will be returning next week as well. The service was great. The owner remembered me. The atmosphere is inviting and cozy. 10/10 read more

Was passing through coming home from Tahoe and decided to give this spot a try. It was alright. The brisket and pulled pork were both very tender with a good flavor. The ribs were good as well, so I'd recommend those three. The cheddar jalapeño sausage didn't taste that great. I wish there was a char but also the jalapeño (not spice from it) over powered it. I wouldn't order again. I wish the mashed potatoes had brown gravy but either way it was a good side. Corn bread was alright, it had an odd taste to it I couldn't figure out what exactly but didn't have enough of that corn meal flavor possibly. The Mac and cheese was probably the worst. Super super dry with no flavor! I like that they have 3 bbq sauces you can use ranging from original, chipotle and spicy. Without it, I don't think the meal would have tasted that great. read more

Hog Wild Bar-B-Que - Family platter 3 meats & 3 sides - Barbeque Near Me - Placerville, California

I've been wanting to try this place for over a year now and I finally got a chance to try it. This place was rank the 39th best bbq spot in the country and I can see why now. Let me start of and say that not just the food but also the service is amazing here. I was debating between a 2 meat plate or the angry pit, and the cashier recommended the angry pit, and that sandwich tasted amazing. The bun was perfectly toasted the meat was perfectly seasoned (brisket and pulled pork) and for the sides I got the Mac N Cheese and Mash Potatoes both were outstanding. If your in the area or willing to take a trip out to this place, I would highly recommend one of the best bbq spots in the areas read more

Updating my review. I recently dropped into Hog Wild BBQ in Placerville, CA. It wasn't my first time and definitely won't be my last. Sure they changed owner in 2018, but the recipes are mainly the same. Still delicious! Plus they added additional desserts. House-made mini pies, cobblers, cakes, and brownies. Yes please. Longtime customers Steve and Mary Fulmer bought Hog Wild in 2018. They kept the tradition of Texas BBQ and majority of the recipes. Heck if it ain't broke, why fix it. They do BBQ right ... slow n low in their wood smoker to get that beautiful bark, deep flavor, and tender moist meats. My fave is the brisket. They smoke the brisket for 16 hours. Oh man, it's delicious. They serve the brisket sliced or chopped. The pulled pork, chicken breast, four kinds of sausages, baby back ribs, and St Louis style ribs are delicious as well. It's Texas BBQ style which is dry smoked and served with sauce on the side. They make their own sauces, they got original, spicy, and chipotle. The sauces don't have HFCS in it. We dropped in on a weekend, about 2:30pm. They close at 5pm on the weekends or until sold out. The hours are painted on their window sign including verbiage stating ... or until sold out. And this place is so popular, they do sell out of a lot of items. It makes sense that they would, since they make fresh almost everything. No freezing stuff for microwaving here. No sir. They were out of sliced brisket, both kinds of ribs, and sides of mashed potatoes, pinto beans, cornbread, and green beans. So we landed on ordering a chopped brisket sandwich with sides of potato salad and coleslaw to share. The staff were awesome. Super upbeat, positive attitude even while dealing with grouchy hangry customers. The chopped brisket had a gorgeous bark, flavorful. Moist smoky brisket. Each table had bottles of BBQ sauce. Original, spicy, and chipotle. I tried all the sauces, all darn amazing. But I made up my own mix of original with a squirt of spicy. Mmm. The coleslaw was tasty as was the potato salad. Tasty but not omg. Odd though, that they didn't provide napkins. The only napkins were the thin flimsy ones in the prepackaged plastic utensil sets provided on each table. For a BBQ joint, outta have more napkins. Speaking about seating, the indoor dining area is limited to about seven 4 seater tables and 4 person bar counter. They have local beers on tap, nice selection. They have an outdoor patio as well, dog friendly. read more

Excellent service!! They sell out of food fast, so come early. Delicious food. Randy was absolutely wonderful and courteous!! Will definitely visit again!! read more

This is the best bbq place I've been. The meat is so flavorful and just melts in your mouth. So far I have had the ribs , jalapeño sausage and the brisket. I normally like to get the jalapeño sausage with the brisket and dip it in the hot bbq sauce . For the sides it comes with a bread , and two sides . I normally like the potato salad and the green beans and add a dollar for the cornbread . I am not a fan of their bread so I save my calories and leave that behind . I wish they let us opt that out for the cornbread. So I don't have to waste food . The service is fast but it does get packed though. We make sure to go there once it's open so we can get a table. read more

It's been a few years since I've been here and was finally able to go here again. I told family about this so we decided to stop by here while on the way to apple Hill. My cousin got the sierra sampler since there was a group of us. It was a great amount of food. It comes baby back ribs, spareribs, brisket, and 3 family sized sides (we opted for potato salad, mac and cheese and green beans). The sampler comes with rolls and corn bread as well. I will say the brisket was better the last time I went, but it was still good. It was a lot of food and the 7 of us couldn't finish it, but leftovers are always welcomed. read more

Time for another update as it has been 2 years since my last one. Still by far the BEST BBQ place around. We don't live in this area, so when we come visit, this is a must do pit stop. We had been thinking about it all week and it did not disappoint!! We always get the Hangtown Sampler because its the best value to try a variety of items. It is now $56... three dollars more than my last review. With that said, its not a cheap meal but you get quality meats and flavors. This time we made an order to go for dinner later. To add, everything is very tender. I have had major dental work after where I can't eat/ chew like I used to so eating has been a challenge in the recent months and was worried that I could not enjoy my meal but none of it hurt my teeth and I was able to chew very easily. I thought ribs would be a thing of my past but not here. Meat feel off the bone. Besides the food being bomb, the owners (I assume) are Very very nice and attentive. They visit with the customers and make sure everyone is taken care of. I always like supporting the small business but even better when they are so very nice. LOVE this place! read more

I have had my eyes on this BBQ Spot for many years. This past weekend I decided to make the trek from Vacaville to visit this awesome small town BBQ Joint. We arrived at 10:36am - first ones there!!! We had to wait until they opened at 11am which was fine. We ordered the Hangtown Platter with Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Baby Back Ribs. For our sides we selected the Coleslaw, Pinto Beans, and Mac and Cheese. They served our food super fast!! All the sides were good but I particularly liked the Pinto Beans. Very good Ranch Flavor was straight hittin!!! The cornbread was also very good but what made it 5* was the honey butter. Sooo good. They had a Local IPA on tap by Solid Ground Brewing called Kabru available in 16 or 22 oz sizes. It was a very tasty West Coaster at 7.5% They have 3 different BBQ Sauces, Regular, Spicy, and Chipotle. All 3 were flavorful, however, I liked the spicy one the best. I would of liked a little more heat to it but it was fine. Lots of people love them some BBQ and we weren't the only ones who visited for the first time. The place started getting really busy. The ambiance was nice and cozy. The A/C was cranked down and felt really comfortable too. read more

The family and I decided to take a drive on January 2, since I had the day off. We thought, let's go get some great BBQ. Of course, that means a trip to Hog Wild. Hog Wild always satisfies. Baby back ribs are out of this world! They have 3 delicious sauces you can use for the ribs that are yummy. The original and chipotle are my favs. I personally love the cornbread which is served with butter that is just perfect for spreading on the warm cornbread. The staff is top notch! Hog Wild goes BBQ right! read more

This bbq joint did not disappoint! It's right off the freeway in Placerville. We stopped in on our way back from Apple Hill on a Sunday. We were lucky as they were closing in an hour. They had four ribs left and they were out of their mashed potato and beans. We took the last four BB (baby back) ribs and there were customers after us who walked out when they found out the ribs were gone. We got the dinner for two and ordered brisket was our other meat choice. We enjoyed the brisket more than the BB ribs although it was very meaty. Our sides were coleslaw, potato salad and bacon Mac n cheese. The sides were ok, it was average. I think we will get the mashed potato's and beans next time. Also, I will definitely ask for more bbq sauce. It came with two little containers and that was not even enough for one person. The place is very casual and cozy with an outdoor patio if you brought your pooch. Highly recommend you give them a try! read more

We were just coming from Apple Hill, and decided to stop here. I heard they were featured on Food Network's 'Best Bite in Town' and is currently ranked 39th on Yelp for best BBQ in the nation. We went with the Hangtown Sampler; which comes with three meats and three sides which is enough to feed two people. Our meats were smoked brisket, pulled pork, and St. Louis soate ribs; while we went with a Caesar salad, Mac n Cheese, and coleslaw for the side. Our food also came with two nice-sized sweet cornbread muffins. Overall it was great! The brisket was tender with some nice bark on the outside and the ribs had a nice, sweet glaze. The pulled pork was decent though it a little in the dry side. But nothing a little BBQ sauce couldn't fix. The meats were quite amazing and in good portions. The side were wonderful as well. The Mac n Cheese was perfect, and the Caesar salad was spectacular. Like nothing we've ever had before. And I can't forget about how nice staff were to us. They were very nice and courteous, and even made sure I didn't leave my extra cornbread behind by running out to my car lol. They make you feel right at home. Would love to try this place again whenever I'm back in the Placerville area. read more

I will say this, I am very picky when it comes to a top-tier barbecue restaurant. Having been to Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, and other states were barbecue is king, there just isn't a whole lot of great options in California. So after researching several high rated restaurants in the Sacramento area, I finally narrowed down my selection to "Hog Wild Bar-B-Que". Centrally located in the heart of Placerville, this place sits directly on Main St. and parallel to US-50. I ended up coming here with my lady during the afternoon of Friday 5/16/25 at around 1:45pm. This establishment is easily visible from the street while the parking lot is big enough to accommodate at least a dozen vehicles at any given time. The exterior signage has a vintage look to it with brick red trim and yellow paint that wraps around the main entrance. Once inside, you will see the same brick red trim complete with their wide menu options including all the represented meats, sides, and combo plates. As for the interior atmosphere, they offer a respectable amount of indoor seating (tables for large parties and pub-styled barstools if you wish to dine solo) as this place truly has that BBQ feel to it. You will notice several past and present license plates showcasing the Lone Star State of Texas, a self-serve fountain drink station, and two public restrooms towards the rear of the building. And since the weather was a perfect 81°F afternoon, we decided to take advantage of their outdoor patio (which has a napkin dispenser, plastic cutlery, and their signature BBQ sauces). After reading the reviews that this place serves very sizable portions, my lady and I decided on splitting their "3-Meat Combo Plate" w/two sides. After making the tough decision what to narrow down, we settled with their Tender Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, and and Chicken Breasts as our meat/protein options as we chose their Kickin' Mac & Cheese and Sweet Cornbread w/Honey Butter as the two sides. We also opt for a fountain drink and two iced waters. Total price after tax (and optional tip) came out to around $36. As I mentioned earlier, we sat outside and our plate was brought out to us in roughly 5 minutes. I will say that this place does not disappoint when it comes to the portions! The brisket here is the real deal and when drizzled with their house made BBQ sauce, every bite was absolutely heaven on earth. The pulled pork also had an excellent well-seasoned taste to it. The chicken, though was just okay and a little bit on the dry side. However, the mac & cheese was excellent while the corn bread was moist and paired up nice with that honey butter. Overall, the plate itself was a 9 out of 10. All in all, "Hog Wild Bar-B-Que" is the real deal. However, they have very limited hours of operation as they are open Wed-Thu 11am-4pm, Fri-Sun 11am-5pm, and closed Mon-Tue. They also do catering and events that serve the entire El Dorado County area as well as Sacramento and even Lake Tahoe. Great service and staff, reasonable prices, and delicious Texas-styled BBQ; what's not to like? Therefore, I am giving this place a unanimous five-star rating. read more

Solid bbq spot in Placerville, I'd definitely return if I was driving through the town. I was really impressed with the meat, both quality and flavor. I didn't care for any of the sides, which is why I'm docking a few stars. We got the sampler plate for 2, it's about $55. It came with so much food! The baby back ribs were so tender, they fell off the bone and were delicious. The brisket was really delicious, tender and had a nice smoke flavor to it. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was also very tasty. Now, we ordered sides of mac, mashed potatoes, and a house salad. The salad was basic, nothing special. The mashed potatoes literally had 0 flavor, and the gravy didn't help at all. They were also extremely dry. As for the mac, it was very underwhelming and dry, literally no cheese pull at all. Now, the cornbread?? DELICIOUS. I actually ate both pieces that came with our order. I wish the sides were better here, but the meat itself is solid. But, what's a good bbq spot if they don't have good sides? Rating 3.5/5. read more

Stopped by on the way home from Boa Vista Hill because my husband was craving BBQ, and we came across this place on his maps. When we walked in, Randy greeted us right away and asked if it was our first time. We told him it was, and he kindly offered to go over the menu with us -- which was super helpful! We ended up ordering one of the family feast meals (I forgot the exact name), which came with our choice of three meats -- we went with baby back ribs, chicken breast, and brisket -- plus three sides: mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and pinto beans. It also came with 2 cornbreads. Randy and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and even checked in on us after we got our food. Everything was delicious, and the service made the whole experience even better. We really enjoyed our visit -- thank you! read more

Sorry guys but have to say the lunch my wife and I had yesterday was just so-so. We both had the brisket plate and like one reviewer noted recently, the meat was extremely dry. I'm not sure if we caught you on a bad day or if the pit master did something different, but I've been here before where the brisket was better (never great though). But honestly, if you want so see what your best competition does with their brisket, go West on Hwy 50 a few miles to Folsom and try Belly BBQ. They have outstanding brisket and it tastes great every single time, consistency is key. Their meat is pull apart tender, never ever is dry (always moist), and the flavor is amazing. Their pricing is basically the same as yours. We were spending the afternoon in downtown Placerville and decided to give you guys another try, if I do decide to come back I will get something that's easier to be consistent on such as pulled pork or sausage. read more

One of the legit bbq place in the area. We went there 2 times around 3:30pm and they sold out both times. We finally came around 12pm on Saturday and went in with no line up! There are several indoor tables and few patio tables but it got busy quickly. When we left around 1pm, the line was out the door. We ordered The Hangtown Sampler with brisket, baby back ribs, St. Louis ribs and sides (mac & cheese, coleslaw & pinto beans). We sat at the patio and the friendly server brought out our food in about 5 mins after we ordered. The staffs checked on us several times and were super friendly. read more

Just like everyone else, I saw they had made a national Yelp list and decided to check them out! We got there about an hour after opening, and it was a full house! They have you order at the counter and then deliver to your table. They offer seating inside and out, which is great depending on your mood and the weather. We opted for the family-style Hangtown Sampler (3 meat choices/3 sides, feeds two). We got the pulled pork, brisket, and spare ribs on recommendation from the staff as it was about to sell out! So glad we did--everything was packed with flavor! The pulled pork was tender and juicy, the brisket had a perfect smoky taste, and the spare ribs were down to the bone good. The sides were just as impressive. We had the mac 'n cheese, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The mac 'n cheese was creamy and cheesy, the green beans were fresh and crunchy, and the mashed potatoes were nice and creamy. Fun fact: HW BBQ donates a meal to a person in need through the local food banks of El Dorado County for every family-style meal purchased! It feels great knowing that enjoying a delicious meal also helps the community. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we can't wait to go back and try more from their menu. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try--you won't be disappointed! read more

My first impression was everything looked dry. Coleslaw delicious. Ribs and chicken were good and surprisingly not dry. Bbq sauce was ok. Macncheese lack seasoning. Patato salad is on the sour side. Brisket was dryer than concrete. I would never serve it to customers. The gentleman did replace mine. However the damage was already done. The vibe and location is great. But to say this place is top tier bbq is deceiving. I would go back and give it another chance. Cost was around $70. read more

Hog Wild BBQ is on the way to Lake Tahoe from Sacramento, right off I-50 near the KFC. There is a parking lot attached to the business, and both indoor and outdoor seating are available. The restaurant and bathroom were clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly, as there weren't many people on a weekday around 1 PM. We chose the HANGTOWN SAMPLER, which feeds two for $56. You can choose any three meats and three sides, and it includes cornbread or rolls. We went with the beef brisket, baby back ribs, and St. Louis style spare ribs, along with macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and cole slaw. My favorite meat and side were the brisket and cole slaw. The brisket was delicious and flavorful. The St. Louis style spare ribs were also very tasty. The cole slaw was my favorite side out of the three; it was so refreshing, so crunchy, so good. The cornbread was also yummy and had corn kernels inside. Their chipotle BBQ sauce was v good with the meats. I am already looking forward to my next visit to Hog! read more

Line was pretty busy. Waited to get in. Parking is small. Customer service is great. Props to them for not being stingy. Other bbq places up charge for "premium meat" in the 3 meat combo plate. Usually ribs and brisket are considered premium. I had the baby back. St. Louis. Brisket. Sides are cornbread and slaw. Brisket was extremely tender. Was able to cut with just the fork. Ribs were mostly tender and juicy. Slaw was good. Bread was good. My biggest con was that it was underseasoned. Didn't taste salt or black pepper. The ribs has a hint of sweetness. I'm guessing they use mesquite wood? But bbq sauce helped fix that. All in all it was good. read more

Second time here and it was a bit of a disappointment. Ordered the two meat plate (spare ribs and brisket). First the brisket was not hot, not warm, just room temp. Flavor was good but it wasn't warm at all. The spare ribs were room temp as well. Tasted good but seemed like it wasn't fresh. The mac was slightly warm. Was looking forward to the meal and have to say - not worth the trip. read more

Over was not bad here, good but wasn't out of this world for me. Really didn't know guy fiery was a feature. We so happened to be in the area after going to costco from Jackson. Service is phenomenal, watching staff accommodate people, clean up immediately was awesome to see. Since it's also a small area inside to sit there is also an outside patio. But being end of summer it's still warm out. Brisket was ok, I prefer little more smokey. Was a bit dry and under seasoned. The green beans were way more seasoned imo. Ribs was pretty good. Never have ribs like this with a sugary glaze top. Ribs were mostly all of our favorite of the meats. Cornbread was thick dense and heavy. We ended up sharing and taking the rest back. read more

What a great spot right off Highway 50. There is a nice covered patio for your fur family if you have been out hiking like us. You order cafeteria style and we tried the sampler which is 3 meats, 3 sides and cornbread for $51. The brisket, St Louis ribs and pulled pork were tender and flavorful. The only drawback was the meats were prepared earlier so they weren't as juicy as they could have been. We had potato salad, coleslaw and sautéed green beans as sides. The buttery garlicky beans were a hit but everything was good. The cornbread muffins were off the hook and served with honey butter. This is a great spot and we will likely come by whenever we hit Apple Hill. read more

Tasty bbq. Their brisket is tender, juicy, and flavorful. I like it best with their original bbq sauce. Get more bang for your buck by selecting two sides instead of one.

Honestly the FOOD was a big disappointment. We were so excited to try this bbq place but it was a huge let down. The food had absolutely no flavor, I had to add a lot of salt just to make it edible. Our food came out on the edge of being cold just slightly warm. The dinner roll was completely cold like it came out of the fridge I couldn't even get the butter to melt on the dinner roll. The jalapeno cheddar sausage didn't have much flavor either and was pretty dry. My brisket was very dry and didn't have flavor except for big chunks of black pepper. The macaroni didn't taste to great besides being cheesy. The only good thing on the plate was the cornbread. The sauces they left on the table to go on the meat were bbq original, spicy, and chipotle which tasted like sour water somehow. The portions of the food were quite small and not worth the money at all. The women's BATHROOM was not very clean but the men's bathroom was disgustingly dirty. The SERVICE was great they were quick and on it. Sadly we will not be returning here or recommending this place to anyone. read more

When my wife and I are deciding on a vacation town we need to find a few things. A spooky spot to visit, a trail to hike, and great BBQ! Once we saw pics of Hog Wild the decision was easy! My wife went for brisket, I went for the Pit Assassin sandwich. Food was amazing, the sides were killer. Service was great, and we got a great tip on making a variation on an Arnold Palmer.

Wow, just wow.. We've traveled hours to find "Great" BBQ and this place hits the mark and checks all the boxes. My receipt says Baby backs, but I assure you, they were St. Louis. The Ribs were tender, moist and fall off the bone with a great Smokey flavor (10 out of 10). As advertised, the mashed Potatoes & Gravy were yummy (7) and the Mac & Cheese were great as well according to the wife. We will be traveling the hour and a half everytime we want or need our Rib fix.. Great Job Hog Wild.. A+A+A+ read more
