I just moved to Citrus Springs a few months back and been checking out different barbecue restaurants so I decided to try it out. The food was amazing besides 1 item they had. The brisket was sliced and the side of juice from the barbecue was amazing. The beans and the mashed potatoes with gravy were spot on. The portion was big enough I had to take some home. The reason I rate them a 4 a few reasons. The garlic bread when you bite into it so much melted butter and garlic squirts in your mouth. I love garlic bread but I think y'all should consider making hush puppies instead of garlic bread. Easy to make. Not expensive and will draw more people in I would rate you a 4.5. I did not rate you a 4 because the garlic bread was such a small part of the meal. However please consider my recommendation. read more

Sauced Hogs is such a unique place that we've now been to a few times. First, really appreciate the variety available on their menu-- something for everyone. Second, love the juke joint type of no frills vibe. I feel like the bar is something you'd see in a small town movie scene. Third-- the food is plentiful with big portions... great value. Fourth, the food is overall good depending on what you order. For example, the pork chops are tender and flavorful but the bbq pulled pork is egh. The starters are great but the chicken skillet could use more seasonings. All in all, it's all good, just some dishes could use some more seasoning. With all this said, we'll be going back again and recommend. read more

Met up with some friends on a weeknight to eat and have a few beers. Great service and casual atmosphere. You can sit at the bar or at tables inside or out. Our server was spunky and fast. The food was good from the ribs to wings to pulled pork. Nice sized portions. The diners were pleasant and friendly. I can't wait to return! read more

Best bbq in town . We go there often and have not had a bad meal yet. The service is always great also. read more

Amazing Prime Rib! The Meat was so Tender, Everything my husband and I had was fabulous! Whoever cooked the Prime Rib knows how to make it. Delicious! I highly recommend going here. You won't be disappointed. The price was pretty good and the wait staff was very nice and helpful. Gets very busy so I would get there around 5ish when we go. I have been coming to this Restaurant for 10 years. 5 read more

Good Food! Yummy! My mate likes the brisket I like the chicken We eat in sometimes and we take out sometimes Never a disappointment! The servers and the staff are very friendly and they WORK Good name too! read more

We went with friends hoping to enjoy some local bbq. Our server never smiled, maybe Sunday lunchtime isn't her best day. One friend had the Reuben egg rolls. She said they were fantastic. Another friend had a pulled pork sandwich which was warm and dry. My wife had a club sandwich that looked great but had an odd chemical taste. I have known BBQ my whole life. My choice wasn't the best BBQ I've had by a long shot. I ordered brisket and ribs. The ribs were overly fatty and were reheated as evidenced by the twice looked bbq sauce coating. The rib bone pulled out of meat without any effort. What was left looked like a McRib. There was barely any smoke flavor. The brisket was sliced paper thin and heaped in a pile. Not my idea of fresh smoked brisket that is sliced a quarter inch. Looked like an Arby's roast beef sandwich filling. Tasted like it too. The baked beans were paste with some pieces of meat in it. The best part was the tater tots. The portions are plentiful and the prices are reasonable. I imagine regulars get better service. We're locals but new to this restaurant. I'm not going back, so check them off the list. The BBQ search continues. read more

Great spot for BBQ. Very friendly service and an establishment the locals should be proud of. The amount of food you get is amazing. Meats were great, sides were great and started off with the cheese curds, which everyone loved. If we're in the area again, it'll definitely be a stop. read more

I come down to Florida from Connecticut and this is the best thing in Florida. Not just the best food but the best thing in Florida. If you are ever close to here stop in you will not be disappointed. read more

West Citrus Elks Post 2693 in Homosassa, Florida want to thank Sauced Hogs for catering our 2026 Happy New Cheer Party. The quality and quantity of food was fantastic. No one left hungry and the praises on the quality of food was positive. Highly recommend them for your next Catering Party. We will be using them again for our Valentines Dinner/Dance. Hats off to Andrew, Scotty and their staff. read more

This place serves the best ribs in my area, I am talking about baby back ribs. The wife gets the sautéed mushrooms with hers. (We split a full rack.) The mushrooms are very good according to her. We get them to go as it is noisey and hot inside. An A plus as far as I and concerned. Next time we will try the smoke prime rib. Only available on Friday and Saturdays. read more

Staff is friendly. The restaurant is clean. I got a pulled pork salad. It was a very large portion for the price. Meat was hot, salad was cold and crunchy. My husband got brisket and mushrooms, with sweet potato fries. Brisket is sliced (beware!); mushrooms were cooked perfect; sweet potatoes were cooked well also. We will definitely be returning. read more

transplanted memphis native here (yeah Memphis! A barbecue capital) was looking for quality local BBQ... this is definitely not the place to go. Got the brisket and bbq chicken quarters. Extremely disappointed. I would've gotten a better meal at Sonny's barbecue if that tells you anything. The brisket absolutely dry, absolutely no flavor. The chicken...oh my God how on earth can you screw up chicken? This place knows how to do that. just because you slop bbq sauce on top of a piece of chicken does not make it true southern barbecue. The baked potatoes? How do you screw those up too? They were absolutely nothing special, nothing has any flavor or spark or anything and the beans? Yeah, I can open up a can of beans too, and make all of this stuff at home for less than $10..... if I go out I spend $30 on a meal for two that better be really good and this was extremely disappointing. yeah a true southern barbecue we give you a piece of cornbread too, nope, not here! I can open a box of cheap macaroni and cheese too, this place is not good at all. This food was absolutely horrible and so disappointing. Absolutely zero flavor zero flair zero southern charm! never will I go there again. Y'all really need seriously need some help.... Try contacting Gordon Ramsay maybe you could be on an episode of kitchen nightmares or something.... I would hate to see your pantry and walk-in refrigerator and freezer area.... you guys should sign up for Memphis in May and show off your barbecue skills up there .... It would be an Epic fail!! read more

Food is always good, the staff is even better. They know how to portion their meals and give superior customer service. I go there mostly for lunch but the night crew is great as well on the few times I've been there. read more

Good service Hamburgers and tots were very good. Bbq sandwich was tasty. Highly recommend!!! read more

Another great meal at Sauced Hogs! The smoked ribs were as good as always... the best I've ever had. Service is A-1 in a clean, friendly restaurant. The Buffalo chicken sandwich is also excellent, and my wife loves the Cajun spice shrimp salad. Side salads are also crisp and fresh with your choice of dressing. It's my go-to place in Citrus County. read more

Paul is phenomenal. He was so friendly! Even showed us pictures of the cats he rescued. (I'm a cat lover). I was sad to see that not many people had come to brunch there. It's only recently started, and I don't think many people know about it. Gotta say, it was really good. I got a burger, and it was quite tasty. Mama got French toast and loved it. Everyone was happy w their food. So... come to breakfast some Sunday at Sauced Hogs. That's when it's available. You will be as happy as I was! PS. Ask for Paul to be your waiter. It doesn't get any better than that. read more

Everything that we had here was delicious! Pulled pork dinner was amazing. Good sized portions too. We liked it so much that we came back the next day! The prime rib sandwich and the pork tacos were both to die for!!! read more

HUGE portion of succulent tender flavorful Pulled Pork for $14.99! My husband had the brisket and he was quite pleased with his too. Coleslaw good. There is only one sauce but we generally like a sweet sticky style BBQ anyway so it was just right for us. Definitely recommend. Started eating too fast so no photos to share.... read more

We visit Hernando Fla. once each year and were lucky to find this place. They serve the best ribs I have had. I had 1/2 rack which was more than I could eat. The cole slaw was excellent and the baked beans were good but not the best I've had. The meal was $17.99. This rating is based on the food. The place looks terrible from the outside and is more bar than restaurant with loud music playing. Probably not the best place for kids but they do have a kids menu. If you want great food at a reasonable price, Sauced Hogs is hard to beat. The service was also very good. read more

Okay so I'm not huge on bbq let's just say that. I ordered the pulled pork nachos. The portion size was perfect for sharing......no need for the salsa the pork on this was to die for, the cheese sauce was perfect, whom ever put this together likes nachos and understands the ratio of cheese needed for great nachos, the amount of pork was terrific. A little sauce but not too much I added some as I was eating to the individual chip. jalapeños were perfect. This dish was the best dish of nachos that I've ever had in my entire life without a doubt. We are new to the area and will be bringing friends here for sure!! read more

Great food great service great price that's a combination that is hard to beat .Ribs were fall off the bone sautéed mushrooms were just right couldn't eat all of half order read more

I am a regular at Sauced Hog whether it eating in or takeouts. I personally love their nachos and they have great Rubin's also. My wife loves their nachos bbq dishes. The staff is always attentive and management is great. They also have music outside on some weekend nights. read more

Excellent lunch, reasonably priced for party of 5. Heather was wonderful waitress!!!?

Wait staff was lovely. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the food I ordered. The brisket was awful - cut in thin strips with no bark and little flavor. We have been smoking our own brisket for some time and I have never had a fresh brisket that could be cut on a slicer, let alone into thin strips. Husband's pulled pork was okay and he said the coleslaw was good. Clearly a place for locals. It was noisy and the karaoke was interesting. Won't go back. read more

Worst place for service, that we've ever been to. We were out visiting family and decided to try this place. We walked in, literally 2 custom the place. No greeting, no servers even looked our way. We sat waiting for 20 mins or so , and left figuring they don't care about customers or they don't need money. Found a great Mexican restaurant that was so welcoming. Obviously a very poorly run bar. read more

Wow! Great Place to eat!! The Portions are Great and so is the Service!! The Beer Specials are reasonable too! Will definitely come here again! read more

Great food and great service! Thanks pat for making a great meal ! I would highly recommend

BBQ at it's best. Friendly local restaurant filled with fun and great staff. Great food with a reasonable price. Pulled Pork with sausage, baked beans and another side hard to beat. read more

Outstanding ribs! A must try if you haven't. I'm a fussy bq person and was very pleased. So happy vinegar was not one of the ingredients!! Fun environment and great service. Busy! So happy to see a successful small business. Highly recommend!! read more

There's usually a line up of songs to play on the Jukebox. Country and Western is top pick, followed by some Neil Young and Bob Dylan. It's a classic diner/bar scene. The regulars hang out at the bar where they can get a good look at the TV screen or favorite waitress or waiter, Paul. When the place gets packed (and it usually does), you can wait a little longer for your food, but once it arrives and you start digging in ......awwww, the wait was well worth it. The bathroom is clean and spacious for the ladies. I've never set foot inside the men's room, but it must be nice. The guys appear to be happy. lol Be nice to your waitresses and they'll be nice back to you. Make sure to give them a good tip, even when it's been busy. They're doing the best they they can. Love and Hugs read more

Ordered takeout ribs and chicken meal and ribs and pulled pork meal. Both ready when picked up food was great portions were great Fed 3 adults and had leftovers read more

I was hoping this place was going to be good but it just wasn't. We got the Ruben egg roll appetizer and it was amazing and the food just went downhill from there. I ordered the Cuban sandwich the bread was extremely hard and stale. The pork had no much fat in it and the ham was watery and weird. I ate almost half and took the rest home to the dogs. My husband got the brisket dinner and the meat was dry, very salty and paper thin. I got the sweet potato fries and they would have been good if they didn't sprinkle cinnamon sugar all over them. Mac and cheese was just ok I think it was homemade but it wasn't even warm. Too top it off at the end of the meal to pay we gave our credit card and they said they add 3% to the bill to use a credit card. Not that big of a deal but just not posted anywhere I guess that's why they have an ATM in the restaurant. read more

I read a few bad reviews when I first moved here 2 yrs ago and never tried for myself. We stopped in because everywhere else we went was way too busy. They were busy as well but people were moving in and out. Tables were bussed quickly and service was excellent. You could see all the servers hustling. The food was great as well. read more

Awful. Went with four adults. We all had different lunches. One was good, the brisket sandwich. We had two orders of mac and cheese (after the waitress remembered) that were very different from each other. Pork quesedilla was so greasy it couldnt be eaten. I think the only thing decent was the onion rings. The waitress was lousey too. Forgot things left and right, and had no problem sticking her armpit in your face to reach across the table to bring your food. We had to go up to the silverware station to get items she forgot. And it was not crowded at all. Wont recommend or go back. read more

Perfect place for dinner or lunch never heard a complaint about this place even though I am not a fan of the barbecue I like things messed smoked because it can over power everything but that is just my taste but best burger ever read more

The Sauced Hog alway has good affordable meals and fair price drinks. Great specials, service and fun happy crowd. Had a BBQ sandwich with wedges for 7.99 today and it was delicious. Highly recommended for a fair priced good meal read more

Great food! Southern style BBQ. We had 4 different meals and all was delicious! Wings, ribs, chicken! A bit loud but friendly and I would return. Wish I took pictures! read more

Great food and service. Reminded me of my favorite BBQ place when I was growing up. We will definitely be back.

Had not so great service, I ordered sliced pork and was served chunks of chicken on toast, waitress that told me my Chicken was their pork. We got a steakin cheese that was 4 or 5 slices of steakums that you get in the freezer section at a grocery store. They didn't even bother to cut it up. When asked about that the waitress said I don't know not a very nice way to treat local people who now will no longer be going there read more
