Very good pulled pork and refreshing coleslaw. Large portions. Quick. Friendly. Glad I stopped

I would rather eat a homeless man's butt hole than this trash "BBQ". The food is drier than a nun and the baked beans are just a can from Walmart. read more

Cleanliness, 0 out of 5. Value for money: 5 out of 5 Friendliness: 3 out of 5 Bathrooms, Too gross to rate, worse than a truck stop in Arkansas Parking lot; one out of five, the place is basically a mud hole, spent some money and drop some gravel once every few years so your customers don't have to walk through mud. I've been to this restaurant a dozen times in three years and it never changes. I had hoped that it would improve overtime but the first impression is don't even touch the door knob without using a napkin to open it. Seriously. When you walk in you'll notice the floor and the baseboards have dirt and grime embedded in them that has been there for years and appears to have never been watched . And that is true of the entire restaurant, tables, wall, even the kitchen prep tables visible from the ordering encounter look like they haven't been cleaned for months. It's embarrassing and I will not go back in 2025. I am guessing that Warren County Pennsylvania has no restaurant/food inspectors available to check these places out. No monitoring whatsoever of the kitchens. The food quality is extremely inconsistent. Some food products are stored outside in non-climate controlled sheds in the middle of the summer. How sanitary can that be? From time to time it is tasty, in fact, it can be quite good but when you go back the next time you'll find exactly the opposite. Especially if you order a platter designed to serve several people, they will load it up with the worst of the worst Product that they have left so they can keep the best product for individual orders. Never ever order a party platter, you will feel like you been cheated immensely. If you really need to clear out your system, have a hankering for food poisoning then this is the place for you. read more

Excellent, their corn bread is amazing as well as the ribs! Kudos to the young man that put together my meal. He was very fast! I almost didn't go in because the parking lot has massive potholes. That really needs to be addressed, so glad I went in, hope to try the brisket next time. read more

Though Warren has an annual ribs like festival, it isn't located within any barbecue belt or location know for any particular culinary style of barbecue. Worse, Warren has about as much in common with good or fine dining as a wasteland dessert has in common with running water. Hence, I was rather surprised to find Hog Wild BBQ and taste what was really an exceptional barbecue not only in taste and flavor but in texture as well. For my meal I had their ribs, beans and coleslaw. I've had much better in coleslaw, the beans were good, but for me it was all in the ribs which were not only exceptional for being in a place like Warren (The flavors brought back memories of my travels along the BBQ Trial), but really good for not matter where Hog Wild BBQ might be located. So, I have no problem declaring myself a fan of the place. read more

These guys have catered for a business I do business with and I've had their food twice at 8 Great Tuesdays in Erie, PA. I had them once last year and once this year. The pulled pork was very good. I also enjoyed the three sauces they had available. The macaroni and cheese was alright. Perhaps sometime I'll have some of their food at their physical location as I enjoyed the food they had catered. read more

Still sucks still hiring 26 year olds who don't give a shit about how your food comes out. Only reason this place makes any money is because of out of town folk traveling to and from the dam. Locals know better place is a shit hole read more

Best place in the area from BBQ. So good. The brisket is amazing. So are the ribs, chicken and pulled pork. This place is convenient to the Kinzua Dam area. read more

Hog Wild BBQ - a plate of tacos and fries - Barbeque Near Me - Warren, Pennsylvania

It gets a couple stars because the wings were good, and the sauce tasted great. The baked beans flavor was great, but they were hard and dry Everything else was a disappointment. The two person feast was definitely not a feast. Besides the half chicken, all of the meat was dried out. We also got the blue cheese and brisket fries, and the half of the fries were undercooked. read more

Food was forgotten, some was over cooked and tough. For the price it's not as spectacular as expected.

Would give zero stars if I could. Came here to get dinner, half the menu was "out of stock" it's Wednesday which knowing this town it's not busy enough to clean them out of HALF their menu. No fries, no CHEESE?!?! Literally charged full price for half meals because they had 3 sides in stock. Food was also barely warm and in the 5 mins it took to get home, it was COLD!!! Food was very dry, bland, and old. We watched them microwave all our meats, and their "fresh cornbread" is just premade then reheated. They claim they're "southern BBQ" in which I am from the south and they outta be ashamed to make this claim when they're this disorganized and half the food is made early then reheated in a microwave. Prices are way to high for food that's the same quality as McDonald's. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

This place deserves 5 stars but here's why I'm giving it only 2. Pros: The food is absolutely amazing. The service was friendly. The prices for what you're getting are good. Cons: No privacy. It's right next to the road and all the seating is outside and it gets very annoying hearing all those motorcycles. The place isn't very credit card friendly. Needs a much more efficient way of attending to customers. The service was VERY slow. My friends and I got there and we rang the bell to get service and it took them literally 10 minutes just to come take our order. Then after we were done with our food (which actually didn't take long to get to us) I wanted to get a bottle of water because the food I had was spicy and I needed to wash it down. So I rang the bell and it took 5 minutes for them to come and ask what I needed. When I asked for a water bottle they went in and got it for me and it took another 5 minutes just to get my water that was absurdly overpriced. It was nearly $3 for A WATER BOTTLE. That, in my humble opinion, is just stupid. So not only did I pay for 1 water bottle which was the price of nearly 3 water bottles, I had to stand there for 10 minutes with my mouth on fire because for some reason it took so long to grab a water out of the fridge and give it to me. read more

Was in the area for work and found this place. Almost non existent from the outside except for the amazing smells. Inside was very nice and clean. The pulled pork bacon and ham special sandwich was Amazing! Good smoked pork flavor and the bacon was thick and just right. Got some potato salad on the side and it made the meal. Coworker had the brisket and said it was better than the most raved about places in Pittsburgh. Theres a condiment bar that has salt, pepper, vinegar and hot sauces to choose from - even some crazy hot ones. I'll probably never be back for many years but glad I stopped here and would come back if I were around again. read more

Hog Wild BBQ - The "Porker Sub" special - 5 Stars! - Barbeque Near Me - Warren, Pennsylvania

Don't waste your time or money. This used to be a good barbecue joint. No longer. We were going to eat in until we sat down at counter and there was mouse poop on it. Took our chicken platter and brisket platter to go. Mistake, should have cancelled the order when we saw the mouse poop. Chicken was pink inside, brisket was so overcooked it was like chewing on wet cardboard. I don't know what happened but this place is now a no go. read more

If you're craving BBQ, the food is decent. Considering a 2-meat plate + appetizer approaches $30, quality is lacking. Everything is extremely sweet, especially the beans. Tasted more like a dessert and could only eat a bite. Coleslaw is pretty good. Portions are small and brisket was 1/2 fat (I'm from Texas and have never seen brisket served the way it is here. A "1/3 pound of brisket" is two small 3"x3" squares that are each 1/2 fat). Pulled pork is very average. Sauces are really good, the best part in my opinion. They pre-charge for a $3.50 tip. I get COVID and all, but BBQ is not exactly made to order--a 1 hour + wait time for a one person meal is just too much if you're including a service charge in a takeout order. read more

Food is INCREDIBLE and fairly priced. Cute little place on the corner of the road. Looks a bit empty from the outside but it's got a couple tables inside and more shaded outdoor seating next to the building. Came with my family and it was the perfect place to eat read more

I ordered the pulled pork BBQ sandwich LRG sized. The pulled pork was extremely salty, very dry, and way over cooked. (See picture for reference). I have had BBQ from many places and many states. This is not BBQ. Yuck!!! read more

Hog Wild BBQ - After smothering one sandwich (on right) with their spicy BBQ sauce to try to drown the salty over cooked taste. Yuck!! - Barbeque Near Me - Warren, Pennsylvania

So BBQ is kind of our thing. We were in the area for the weekend and decided to give this place a try. It gets two stars just based on the ribs and the staff. Everything else really didn't cut it. Pulled pork was very dry and potatoes in the potato salad were undercooked. I guess I should have expected to be disappointed when I heard the microwave ding. read more

My family and I were camping at Allegheny state park when we ran upon this place. We were out sightseeing and just finished up viewing the Kinzua dam when we decided we were hungry. We were so hungry that we decided to stop at the first restaurant we ran into. The interior contains no frills with only two benches and stool seating. Pictures of confederate generals were on the wall. I ordered the pulled pork with beans and cornbread. My fiancee ordered ribs with slaw and fries. My son unbelievably ordered chicken tenders with fries. Yes I reminded him we were in a barbecue restaurant My fiancee and son were happy with their meals. I being a southerner was happy with my barbecue because my pork was served smoked and with the sauce on the side. Southerners love their sides and I did not love the sides served with my meal. The beans were fresh beans mixed in with beans that were not made that day. The cornbread was much too sweet and did not compliment the smoky barbecue well at all. I loved the smoked meats and the barbecue sauce but the sides need work. This place has tons of potential. I want to go back and visit in the future to view their progress. I forgot to add that their barbecue sauce is their own and not just bought from another company. read more

Great BBQ, excellent catering services, you can't go wrong with Hog Wild. Get some sauce to use at home - all of the varieties are great. Southern style against the scenic backdrop of the Allegheny National Forest, served by only the most talented 'cue slingers in Appalachia. Had them cater our wedding, and despite them also offering more standard, high-end wedding fare, we chose to go with the barbecue. Nobody's been happier to get sauce on a tux or bridesmaid's dress than our guests. Sent everyone home full, happy, and in a sauce coma. read more

The food is decent at best the service was fast and the prices are a little high for the quality. The portions are what I would call "stingy" I suppose for that town they are the only BBQ. They are a very clean establishment and boast "award winning ribs" if I'm being honest I feel that the ribs where smoked frozen then microwaved.. even after two days in the woods on a camping trip I wasn't impressed with the flavor or quality. I would imagine that in a competition type cooking event they would go all out but to eat there it was a totally different game read more

Had a fantastic catered dinner on-site for 35 people. We had the BBQ pulled-pork, BBQ chicken, baked beans, pasta salad, and the parsley red potatoes. The pork and chicken were very tasty and cooked to perfection. The sides were perfect good and plentiful. The BBQ sauces were also a huge hit! Thanks Wells Hog! We will be back! read more

Spent the day at the Allegheny National Forrest which left my boyfriend and I very hungry. We stopped at this small BBQ spot and we were both blown away by the food. Absolutely delicious! Would move to Warren just for this food. read more

THE BEST BBQ IN PENNSYLVANIA! Clean, bright, down-home dining room, great prices, and the most tender, smoky BBQ you'll find outside of Texas! Our favorites were the ribs and the chicken! The sauce is LEGENDARY! The owner, Dean, is very friendly too and will make sure you're treated right! ;) read more

Hog Wild BBQ - Harlan Roy, savoring the homemade potato salad! - Barbeque Near Me - Warren, Pennsylvania

Do yourself a favor and drive away. Horrible customer service, lackluster food - and if they mess up your order, they don't make good on it. Rant and suggestion on an eating establishment to avoid. We are out on another trip and decided to try a little local BBQ restaurant that we've passed and always wanted to try. Well...we aren't able to enter the premises, due to COVID 19, so you have to stand on their stoop and call your order in. I tried to order two items - they're out. No suggestion like " hey, maybe try this..." - that's bad idea #1. You always suggest another item! You're going to lose a sale if not! I specifically ordered no onions or peppers in my nachos, placed bobs order, paid over the phone and then went to wait in the truck. Our food comes out, Bob tips the server, we leave. It's about 7:30 pm...we get back to the campground around 7:50 pm. ( You can't eat at the establishment unless you eat in your car and I'm not eating BBQ nachos in the car) I open Bobs food...looks tasty! I'm excited...I love BBQ! - and when I opened my dinner, it's covered with onions, and scallions. I immediately call the restaurant at 7:52 pm. No answer, but recorded message says "we are on another line try back". So I do. No answer again. I tried several times. Same results. I decided to send a message on Facebook, and the response I got was "this is the catering business, call tomorrow." Are you kidding me??? You have an unhappy customer and that's your response??? I thought businesses were wanting customers and this type of response is certainly how you lose customers! I made a Facebook post and funny enough, someone, the "caterer" I suppose comments and says "Ok Karen"...lol...that's funny! I'll be calling again tomorrow, but in the meantime, I'm hangry!!! And this isn't a campground that's close to any other restaurants that are open at this time of night. ** Update - when I called today, I got the run around, was told they wouldn't refund my money, and I was hung up on at least 4 times. I made sure to call back multiple, multiple times...and of course they wouldn't answer. Then she, possibly the "caterer" told me she'd have me arrested for calling again. Well, I know it's only a citation for harassment by communication at best, so I called again. And then I called our credit union who will handle the matter :) And of course I got a call from the PA State Police. I think the trooper had a good chuckle and I don't have a citation :) So that's Zero stars (but they don't have an option for zero stars, so one it is!) and zero recommendations for Hog Wild BBQ in Warren, PA! read more

Hog Wild BBQ - The Big Hog - Barbeque Near Me - Warren, Pennsylvania

Good little BBQ place in Warren. Had the Pork Belly special and the beans. Good flavor and well cooked. One of the better options in Warren.

Outstanding Brisket Sandwich, a rival for the best Que we have in Phoenix, AZ! The Memphis Voodoo sauce was a terrific compliment .. Hog Wild BBQ is on my bucket list each summer while I am through town! read more

Great place to go if you're looking for a big meal. Great portions and the food is normally fenomenal.

Definitely a 5 or beyond for their meats but I am taking a star off for their sides. The slaw was very dry and tasteless and the potato salad and beans were just okay. But who really cares when the meat and sauce is so good?!!!!! I found this place quite by accident during a recent hiking trip. I live four hours Warren and I am tempted to make a road trip back just for this place!!! read more

I love mom and pop barbecue joints. This place did not disappoint. The portions are pretty big and tasty. The brisket was tender and needed no sauce as the rub they used was so yummy. The onion rings were the best I ever had. I enjoyed chatting with the owner who prides himself on creating authentic southern barbecue. read more

We ordered takeout and we loved it! We got a Pulled Pork Sandwich, Brisket Sandwich, and Beer Cheese Pretzels. The sandwiches were AMAZING, but the pretzels weren't very good. Despite not liking the pretzels, we loved the sandwiches so much that were planning on taking a 3 hour road trip for more! read more

Hog Wild BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Warren, Pennsylvania

This was the first restaurant I tried when we moved to Warren back in June, and I have gone back several times since. Just some incredible BBQ with all of the fixings that you could want. I like to pretend I'm a BBQ pitmaster with my Weber Smokey Mountain, but when I'm not feeling up to firing up the smoker, I wouldn't look anywhere else. My favorites are the ribs, pulled pork, and slaw, but I'm super excited to try the fries on this year's upcoming menu. Do yourself a favor and sign up for the email newsletter, you'll get updates on specials....but be careful, you'll find yourself craving BBQ way more often than you used to! read more

Well this placed looked closed but it was open. It smelled good. I ordered the ribs and I was horrified when they came. I picked one up and looked at the back of the rib just to see what they looked like and there was a large bug stuck to the back of it. I told the waitress she said oh no I'm sorry. She brought me out more ribs. Then I was eating the potato salad and I found a fly in it. Well I lost my appetite. It might of been good if there wasn't so many bugs in the food. Won't go back to this place again. read more

Update your hours so people don't waste there time driving to eat at your establishment. Thanks.

Really great BBQ not over sauced! Amazing coleslaw and great service. Took less that 3 minutes for them to prepare my 1/4 1/4 ribs to go.

Hog Wild BBQ is a gem in this little town, definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and excellent food quality - you can tell that everything is made from scratch. Kind of like being at a rib fest without the high prices and long lines. I've tried just about everything they have on the menu: Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, pork tacos, chicken tacos - it all satisfies. There are a few sides to choose from: beans, cole slaw and potato salad. Each has a unique presentation here with great flavors. They do have a kid's menu and kids are totally welcome here. We sit outside and the kids play by the creek while we wait for the food. Outdoor space is covered so you can sit outside when it is warm, rain or shine. Catering - these guys also cater and I've been to a couple functions. There is always enough food for everyone and they take care of the buffet table very well. I would definitely recommend this place! read more
