    The big Philly :)
    Julie P.

    Absolutely adore this place. It's a homey place and feels so good to be there! Everyone is so welcoming and the food..... so worth the hype that it is given. The big Philly is my favorite here. I can't even have cheese like that but I risk it for this Philly cheesesteak. I've had a few in RVA but no other cheesesteak is as good as Hogshead. The meat is seasoned just right and the cooper American cheese really gives it that extra ump!!!!! My friends loved their Big Boner which is their epic hot dog... it was shared between 5 people! And one friend who ordered the Hogs burger felt like she was in heaven. And the lobster bisque was also good. BUT MY MOST FAVORITE was the catfish nuggets. Matthew, my server, recommended them and rightfully so!!!! It was amazing and crispy AF. And the homemade lemonade also was my favorite... so dang fresh and sour!!! This is the place to be if you want to eat out with a lot of friends or family. The servings are plentiful and can easily be shared in your party.

    We visited for their Happy hour (half off appetizers) which starts at 3pm. Three of us ordered quite a few appetizers. I've been here quite a few times in the past and can only say their food is delicious. I loved being able to try items I hadn't tried before, such as the steamed shrimp and their jumbo wings. The drink options for happy hour were not the priority for me, but my father was visiting from New Orleans and was not impressed with the drink options for happy hour. I think I'll visit during happy hour more as I felt I got a "bang for my buck". Even if they stopped having happy hour though, this is still one of my favorite places to eat.

    Stopped in today for an early dinner and all was great. Thers are a couple things we were a little unhappy with, mostly because we were not informed before we ordered. The appetizer wings are like full pieces of chicken and, even though the happy ours are listed on table signs, the discoints only apply to those sitting at the bar.

    Finally came to see if this place was worth all the hype after seeing it all over tiktok. We went on a Sunday and they had live music inside. The inside was a little too loud for our little one so we opted to sit outside on their patio. The service was great even though we were the only ones outside. I've heard mixed reviews on the service but no complaints here, staff were friendly and attentive. The food was good but not a good as the tiktokers make it seem. The consensus of the table was that we were not fans of the bread for the sandwiches but the meat on the cheese steak and pulled pork were excellent! Great portions and flavor. The baked beans were our favorite side, next time we'll skip the mac and cheese. Overall this place is good and I'm glad we tried it!

    Hog's Head Big Philly delivers.

    If you're craving a real-deal Philly cheesesteak, Hog'sHead Big Philly delivers. From the first bite, you can tell they don't cut corners. The steak was tender, seasoned just right, and cooked perfectly -- juicy without being greasy. The bread made a huge difference too. Soft on the inside with just enough firmness on the outside to hold everything together without falling apart. The cheese melted evenly throughout the sandwich, blending perfectly with the steak and toppings. Every bite had flavor -- not just in the middle, but from end to end. Portion size? Big and satisfying. Definitely lives up to the "Big Philly" name.

    I got the Philly ($17) and it took about an hour for it be made. I was told multiple times that it should be coming out soon but it didn't. I know it wasn't the server fault but they were definitely understaffed when I visited. The food itself was definitely overhyped from social media. Sure it was a good size but besides that, the flavor was just alright. The one side you get to pick with the sandwich was good. I felt this was a place to come to for great portion size not necessarily taste. If the service wasn't understaffed and came out in a reasonable time I would've given it a 5 star rating, perhaps in the future I'll try it again to see if it got any better. Food(50%): 6.5 Staff/service(25%): 2.0 Value(25%): 8.0 Overall: 8.5/10

    Food - The food was honestly pretty tasty. My mom had the Catfish tacos and I had the Nashville tacos. We both traded one taco and I automatically preferred the Catfish Tacos more over the Nashville Chicken Tacos. As for the appetizers, the tots were crispy and delicious and the buffalo bites are more spicy than my Nashville Tacos. 8.8/10 Service - Our waiter was very friendly and on top of things and he actually told us on Tuesdays, the Tacos and appetizers are half off. 9.2/10 Inside - The inside is nothing special but it looks nice and clean 7.0/10 Overall this is a fine place if you are craving Sandwiches or Tacos, so it's best if you go on a Tuesday. I'll give this restaurant a 8.4/10

    Loaded Tots
    Renada N.

    The service was stellar! The tacos were ok but not something I'd get again. The catfish on the fried fish tacos were something I'd would order in a seafood restaurant. But I did have my eye on the cheesesteak that a couple of people had. That's definitely what I'm getting next time. And I can always appreciate a big giant glass of Arnold Palmer or sweet tea.

    The food here is delicious and tasty. I had the cheese steak pack with steak and cheese. My wife had the chicken cheese steak sandwich. She said it was very good and not dry. I also had the baby beans they were excellent. So good we came back again I got the same thing. The place is packed with people eating and drinking. I like the vibe here. We stopped by on the next day I had the pulled pork bbq sandwich. This was a let down from yesterday. The pulled pork was in some spots cold and on top of that the bottom of the bun was too soggy to eat. Bummer I did have an opportunity to talk with the owner who is funny and very cool. All in all I like this place. I recommend it and will return

    The Big Philly
    Jden M.

    Very, very good. Big Philly was generously portioned at a pound of beef for $21. Unfortunately, it didn't come with fries.

    I've seen Hogs Head Cafe sign from broad street a million times in my life but never stopped. While down the Tik Toc rabbit hole, I saw the most delicious food posted. So the next day my daughter and I went to pick up dinner! On a Tuesday night customers were pretty steady. The host was also taking to go orders, payment and filling those orders. Although busy and a little overwhelmed she did everything with a smile and was super polite. The menus are available at the host stand to view. But there is also like a secret menu posted on the chalk board next to the bar. There were lots of goodies on there that wasn't on the main menu. Like crab pretzels, blackberry and peach cobbler. Since it was our first time there, we wanted to keep it simple and ordered our food to go. We had the limeades that are made fresh in house; 6 Garlic Parmesan Smoked Wings; Mac and cheese and Blackberry Cobbler. The food was so hot and fresh the bag was hot and steamy on the way home. The smell was Devine the whole car ride home. I was a little curious why 6 wings were 16 bucks and to my surprise when I opened the box, these are 6 WHOLE WINGS! Not your little wing dings. 6 whole fresh wings that were as big as the palm of my hand. The wings were so fresh, seasoned to perfection. My daughter's Mac and cheese was super creamy and full of cheddar. The blackberry cobbler made me go back the next day and pick up two so I wouldn't have to share with my daughter this time. Overall this was a great meal and the customer service both times was above average. I will be stopping by again this weekend when my son comes home from college for spring break for a full sit down experience. You should come too!

    Strawberry limeade, lemon drop martini
    Deneen S.

    Tuesday 2/18 3pm Had a taste for some wings and per a recommendation I decided to try Hogshead on Broad Street. Luckily for us they have happy hour starting at three and that included half off the wings, really good deal! They had half off of all the starters/appetizers. I ordered garlic parmesan wings and received BBQ. I sent those back for a correction. But took a picture anyway lol. My friend ordered flavor "sticky stinger" wings, those are the ones with the sprinkles. My garlic parmesan wings came I thought they would be a dry rub but it's wet. I don't eat spicy so that's why I chose this flavor. We also ordered plain tater tots. They were just that, plain tater tots. My garlic parmesan wings were good. I like that they were whole wings. I would eat there again. My friend said that the sticky stinger flavor wings were good and a little spicy, but that's what she wanted. She got a large strawberry limeade that she really liked a lot. She also got a lemon drop martini. She said that was good. The restaurant is a family friendly restaurant, but it does have a bar. The service we received was OK. No complaints.

    Does Hogshead offer curbside pickup?

    Curbside was not offered to me when I ordered ahead on Friday 4/12/24. I parked and went inside. The bartender came to the host stand to have me sign my (already paid online) receipt then brought the food out.

    Does this place take reservations?

    No they don't take reservations

    Does Hogs Head Cafe serve alcohol?

    A lot of it! Full bar.

    Chicken and waffles?

    No, but go try their hotdogs

That employee also completely ignored me, despite the fact that I was clearly standing there waiting to be helped.

I ultimately had to ask another customer who was standing in line if they knew where to pick up a DoorDash order. The entire experience was incredibly dismissive and unprofessional.

I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,
