When I arrived home, the BBQ pork was still warm. The ranch dressing was nice and cold. The cheese on my salad melted into the meat and was delicious.

I've had Walker's on my bookmark list for quite a while. It's a little hard to get in as they're…read moreonly open at the end of the week/weekend. I finally found a good opportunity this week. This spot does barbeque, catfish, and chicken fingers. There's a fairly large parking lot and lots of space inside, as well as a drive-through. The inside is basic but features some country decor (like, redneck country, not cowboy country, lol). You order at the counter. The ladies' bathroom was clean. Service was...nice, I guess, but I couldn't help but feel like I was getting looked at funny when I didn't know the standard protocol for ordering/getting sauce/picking up food, etc. Definitely a "local" vibe. The very loud conversation about the election a large table of patrons was engaged in didn't help. That's not the restaurant's fault, but it still wasn't what I wanted to listen to while I ate. Anyway, I wound up ordering the smaller chicken finger plate since those came highly recommended in reviews. The plate comes with fries, coleslaw, and hush puppies. They call your number when your food is ready and you pick it up at the counter. There's a large array of sauce bottles so you can grab your favorites to take to the table. I was a little concerned about the sauces that usually need refrigeration just sitting out on the counter, but the bottles themselves were cold so I guess they figured out some kind of system to keep them chilled. I was...frankly disappointed in the tenders. They had a very strange, slightly cakey breading (rather than crumbly/crispy) that got soggy and soft very quickly. They reminded me of Chili's chicken crispers, which I really don't like. Ranch improved them some but I don't think I finished a single tender. The fries were frozen-fried crinkle cuts and needed a scoch more salt. I skipped the slaw. I enjoyed the hush puppies dipped in ketchup! Very oniony. Overall, nothing super objectionable but just didn't wow me too much. If I return in the future, I'll try some barbeque instead.

I…read moregot the combo plate with brisket and smoked wings and for my sides I got the mac & cheese and the potato salad along with a piece of texas toast. The brisket was phenomenal. It was extremely tender and melts in your mouth! You don't need a knife because it falls apart on its own and it was seasoned to perfection. The smoked wings were delicious as well and paired perfectly with the white sauce. The mac wasn't the greatest but I enjoyed the potato salad. The Texas toast was a great addition and was perfect for creating a little bbq sandwich. My total came out to around $32 which I felt was a bit pricey when I had paid but after getting my plate I realized how large the portions were which totally justified the cost. At most BBQ restaurants I usually finish all my food but here I had left overs so I basically got 2 meals out of the one plate. Another thing I liked is that they have a variety of sauces and they aren't stingy with them. Overall this is a great spot with friendly staff that provides wonderful service. The food is delicious and the restaurant is clean and well decorated. I will definitely be back! I was told that Boarhog's is the best BBQ in Huntsville and I can now confirm that as true!

I ordered the 3 piece, thinking I'd have a little leftover for dinner, but nah. Lol. It IS enough for a lunch portion, though. Their loaded nachos are still my favorite thing to eat here!

It was very busy for a Thursday and opens at 4:30 for dinner. It's in the Lincoln Mill and entrance is right next to a coffee place, but right up front & easy to find. We ordered the brisket fritters (4 panko crispy balls of chopped brisket mixed with chihuahua cheese blend, topped with Japanese white sauce) & the crispy Brussel sprouts (tossed in hot honey, yuzu & tamari glaze). There were enough brussel sprouts that they could easily be a side for everyone at our table. Both were cooked perfectly & flavors amazing!! For our entrees, our daughter ordered the tempura crab sandwich, my husband the bulgogi cheesesteak, our granddaughter the chicken fingers & Mac & cheese, myself & son-in-law, the brisket burnt ends and the beef tallow fries & the creamy Ginger Serrano coleslaw.

The sauce had just the right balance--sweet enough to make you smile, but with a little kick that reminded me I'm still alive and kicking too.

I found the parking lot a little hard to access (the way the roads cross in front of the restaurant is a little wonky) but once you're in it's a spacious lot. I was pleased to find you could actually smell the smoke from the parking lot. Usually a good sign. It's an order at the counter type of place. Not a ton of tables, but I'd say it feels much homier than a lot of other small bbq joints. I used the restroom after placing my order and found it immaculate. Great job! They have a fairly large menu but I went with a tried and true favorite of mine: a loaded pork potato. I had a large sweet tea to drink and also got a slice of chocolate pie to go for later at home. I thought the price was maybe a tiny bit high (~$17), but prices are high everywhere and then again the portion sizes were immense. The service really was lovely. The lady working at the register was just super warm and considerate. Southern hospitality, I suppose! She thoughtfully packaged my pie and was even kind enough to bring my order to me -- more than I expect at counter service places. I also watched her be exceptionally patient with an elderly couple who had a lot of questions/requests. On to the food itself. The pork potato was the best thing I ordered, which is good since it's a bbq place first and foremost! It was an absolutely MASSIVE stuffed potato -- bigger than even Lawlers. It comes with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, chives, and your bbq of choice (pork for me). I appreciate them adding the butter and sour cream rather than serving it on the side as some places do. I find it melts into the potato better that way. The pork was tender, not too fatty, and tasted good overall, but I do think it was missing a little smokiness. For me, the sweet tea wasn't quite sweet enough, but it was passable. The large size is absolutely massive, lol. The disappointment here for me was the pie. In fairness to them, I have crazy high standards for chocolate pie and it's truly rare for a place to meet them -- my mom makes my favorite. There was a LOT of pretty flavorless meringue, which I scraped off. Underneath it, the chocolate pudding/custard just wasn't chocolatey enough for me. I like an intensely chocolatey pie and this one was just kind of bland. The crust was okay but if I had to guess I'd say likely the Pillsbury store bought kind -- understandable, since it's pretty good and homemade crust is a pain to make. Overall, though, I'd return for the pleasant atmosphere and tasty tater. Give them a try if you're in the area.

Oh, and my mother's favorite loaded baked potato with pork, extra butter, no sour cream. I did not call ahead and anticipated a wait. Thankfully they have their system down to a science; from order time to fulfillment for my order was less than 5 minutes! And while I was waiting on my order to be filled, someone was out taking paper orders for the line behind me. (Yes, I said line...and they weren't all patient. They must have been hungry.) I've heard it said you can't screw up BBQ, but you can, and they didn't. Given the "claim to fame" is a mild vinegar-based sauce, you can't hide much like you can with a sweet, ketchup-y sauce. I wish I had a scale, because I swear there was more than 5# of meat, and 1/2 gal was a LOT of cole slaw. A lesson learned and note to the wise: when they say 3 oz per sandwich when figuring how much you will need for a crowd, go with their approximation. Ever the consummate Southern hostess, I was afraid of running out of food & ordered this larger amount. Never ran out, everyone was full and lots of leftover pork was frozen. My mother's potato was exactly as ordered, texture was great for cutting and she made 2 meals out of it. This BBQ location is a go-to for our family. Always happy to have the opportunity to get it when in town. Think I'll try the turkey next...

I had planned to eat…read moreinside but when I got there I realized it was much more of a drive through vibe so I went through the line and then drove to a nearby large lot and ate in my car. I'm honestly not sure if there's any indoor dining or not, but it worked out fine for me. They were reasonably busy at around 1 PM - maybe 3 cars ahead of me. I got through quickly enough and was able to place my order probably in less than 10 minutes. The menu isn't super easily viewable from the line so know what you want beforehand! The lady at the window was pleasant enough. I ordered a pulled pork potato and a large (they mean it when they say large!) sweet tea. I thought the price was VERY reasonable - I got out for only around $12 for a plenty large lunch. As far as bbq taters go, this isn't the monstrously large kind you'll find at Lawlers or the nearby Pigskin BBQ, but it is certainly big enough for a filling meal. The potato was cooked nicely. I was pretty happy with the pork, too -- good consistency/pull, and I could actually taste the smoke! My one complaint is that the sour cream and whipped butter spread (not real butter) came on the side. I very much prefer restaurants to apply those ingredients themselves so they can melt into the potato beneath the hot meat and cheese. Also, real butter would've been my preference, lol. Overall though, very solid potato and bbq for a very reasonable price. I would certainly return for a tasty local lunch.
