It is with tremendous sorrow that my colleagues and I had our very last "work" luncheon at Hog Wilds today as they are losing their lease 2/1/25 Unfortunately, and unbelievably, their lease was not renewed by a family trust/relative! Bryan Pikorz it has been a privilege literally to support an establishment that serves high-quality food with a smile - polite and friendly people always, reasonably priced AND ALWAYS DELICIOUS! I hope they find a location nearby and reopen soon. Friday special today was a delicious fish sandwich!!!!! I purchased to go the Hog Combo (1/2 slab & Pork Chop) and two Chops. I will miss this quaint spot. Ok a postscript: There may be a restaurant there 2/1/25 but it will not be The Original Hog Wild. "The Midlothian building is listed in a trust in the family's name. Pikorz said he is not included in that trust, leading to his leasing the space from a relative. The relative has now decided not to renew the lease, and instead plans to open the same or similar business under a new name and different leadership, Pikorz said." Do not bite!!!! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants- ribs good, pork chops good, steak tacos good, their grilled chicken sandwich is out of this world- have been eating g here almost 30 years- They have a great menu, go try as much different tho gs that you can lol They need to be open later- read more

Late post Hubby and I finally made our way here. We ordered takeout so I am unable to comment about the ambiance and service. When we arrived in the lot, it was pretty packed and I feel that that says a lot about how good their barbecue is. We ordered the tip and pulled pork dinners. For our sides, we chose fries and coleslaw. We enjoyed everything, especially the baked beans. Sorry I don't have pictures to show, but it was a late day for us and we were hungry. We will be back to try other menu items. read more

It was our first time here at Hog Wild and since I am a vegetarian, I know this is not the place for me but I still wanted to give it a try. I know it is all about the pulled pork, BBQ meat but I wanted to check the place out for the ambiance and I'm glad I did. You order your food at the register and then they'll give you a number and they bring the food out to your table which was pretty easy. I ordered the portabella Mushroom sandwich, my hubby ordered the shrimp dinner and my little guy got the cheese hot dog and it was all pretty darn good. If you're someone who loves BBQ and meat, this place is definitely for you! read more

This place was delicious. The ordering process was easy and well organized. It may seem it was a long line but it wasn't. There were more people doing carry out. The place wasn't bright but the room decor was filled. A few tvs and employees bustling around, serving, cleaning and helping. When I got to the table someone came by to ask if I wanted bbq sauce. I said yes. They must keep tabs on the bottles because as soon as we were done someone came and picked it up right away. We ordered the pork chop dinner and beef brisket dinner. The pork chop dinner came with 2 chops and a few pieces of bread. The chops were thick and tender and delicious. The sides were simple but also good. The beef brisket was sliced thin. It was a couple ounces but didn't seem like much meat. It came with a piece of corn, 2 pieces of garlic toast and the sides I wanted. This was plenty to eat but wished the brisket were thicker slices or had a little more meat. I will be back to try other things but glad to have made it here. read more

It's Hogwild. The hot barbecue sauce is excellent. I go with the smaller pork chop because I would need Fred Flintstone to carry the larger one. Barbecue on the Southside my friends. From the cheeseburger to the table cloth, I'll eat just about anything in this place. All the side's including beans and slaw. Come In hungry and expect to get something on you. Sauce or ketchup, it bound to happen. read more

Love the bbq pork chops...best around, tender and juicy. Been going there since 1993. Always consistent.

Easy parking and great food at a location that is easier to reach (for me) than the original-original location.

Amazing food and super fast service. This place is always packed for a reason. Everything on the menu is good and the portions are huge. Delicious barbecue sauce and a beautiful dining room. Would return, would recommend. read more

I've been coming here for years and for the longest time they only took cash, but now they take debit and credit! The food never disappoints, the barbecue sauce is the best. Also, one side of the restaurant they have an aquarium I didn't take a picture of it but it's so awesome. read more

Arrived around 1pm Saturday 2/24 parking lot was packed have been waiting to try this place. -Service was great very quick to great you and get you seated fast. Food was good however seems as if it was sitting around. The ribs were good seasoned however the baked potato I ordered was still kinda hard. The pork chop was also good. Cheesecake was very tasty. read more

Well known BBQ restaurant in the far south suburbs. Their BBQ dishes are all good. I got the rib tips and liked them. I did try something different the next time I went, and tried the ribeye steak burrito. It wasn't bad, but not on par with their other signature dishes. It's best I'd say to stick to the more traditional barbeque dishes. All the sides I've tried have all been good too-the fries, the curds, the mac n cheese. The inside is nice, a good western decor. Your order at the counter, and then they bring the food out to you. A pretty big parking lot so that shouldn't be an issue. If you live nearby and are a fan of meats, then it's definitely worth checking out. read more

The Original Hog Wild - Ribeye Steak Burrito Dinner Wednesday - Barbeque Near Me - Midlothian, Illinois

Went with a large group of family members to celebrate a birthday. I ordered the ribeye dinner special and my husband ordered a full slab of ribs dinner. They asked what side we wanted and I asked for Mac and cheese, for my soup the cream of chicken, and a baked potato. The hubby had red potatoes and Mac n cheese. Mac and cheese lacked any real flavor tasted bland. But the kicker was they charged each side as additional charge to the dinner price which was suppose to be included. My husband didn't bother to question until I asked him. We drove 45 minutes and don't plan on going back. Steak and ribs were good. Most family members ordered the pork chop and they were happy with it. read more

It has been a long time since I have been here. The pork chops were not as good as I remember. Went on a Sunday at lunchtime. Place an order for three pork chop dinners to eat outside on their patio.. To my surprise the order was ready in about five minutes. They are cooking the pork chops too much ahead of time. The pork chops were well don read more

Great food! I don't think I've had a bad experience yet. The service is smooth like a production line. As for the atmosphere, there people from all walks of life here. That, and throw in an Elvis statue-- what else do you need? read more

Consistency is their gift. Excellent BBQ with dine in or togo options. Their pulled pork sandwich is amazing and a personal favorite. Enjoy!! read more

We have tried a few menu items and all have been delicious! It's definitely worth trying the daily specials, especially the shaved prime rib sandwich. read more

I have seen this place for years and never stopped by to try it, but today was the day! I ordered the grilled pork chop and it came with two sides. The pork chop was grilled to perfection and juicy. It was probably the thickest and juiciest pork chop I've ever had. The red potatoes were delicious. I wasn't a fan of the green beans, but they have other sides to choose from. They were bland to me to be honest. Their service is amazing. They must always have pork chops on the grill because I received my order about 2 minutes after placing my order. The food was hot, so it wasn't like it had been sitting there for awhile. It was definitely fresh. The inside is pretty large in size, but it's very dark inside. If you want to take pictures of your food I would recommend takeout. read more

We brought our aunt & uncle here because it was close to where they were staying while in town. I started coming here in 1997 when they were a tiny store front & the food was GREAT. I think they have got too big for their britches. I had a pork chop sandwich which I hadn't had in quite a while, terrible....this used to be their claim to fame. The pork chop was so dry, tasteless, I didn't even finish it. Also was there about a month ago had the pulled pork sandwich...meh, I don't think we'll be back sad to say. read more

I was craving some bbq and wanted to try a new spot. I gathered up my family and headed here on a Saturday night. We ordered up our food and we were seated right away so I thought the service was great. I got the rib tips they were huge & had a nice smoked flavor. I had to try all the different bbq sauces they all tasted good. I will be back again to try something else on the menu most likely brisket. I thought the prices are reasonable too for bbq read more

Love Hog Wild! After moving to Indiana, I still take a road trip to go get a pork chop. Anything I've tried is amazing, and they provide big portions, so make sure to bring your appetite. read more

Great food, fast! Definitely will return Fast friendly service.................. review had to be too long

The food here was absolutely terrible. We got the BBQ platter - as our sides we got cole slaw, baked beans, and a twice baked potato. The platter came with brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. Starting with the meats. The brisket was shaved thin and extremely fatty. It should be a crime to treat brisket like that. The pulled pork was dry and literally drowning in BBQ sauce - it was disgusting. The ribs were also extremely dry. The service was lacking. You walk in and move through a fast line all while looking at a menu posted on the wall behind you to figure out what you want. All the while, a blonde woman is rushing around basically doing nothing - other than yelling to ask if you are dining in or out. Not a great experience. Don't eat here. read more

Fantastic and extremely fast. As soon As I get my drink I come back every time I go there and the food fresh and hot waiting for me. Only down fall that is inconvenient for so E snf that's why I'm Warning you. Cash only. They had an atm though. read more

Greta atmosphere with some hefty portions of bbq! I had the pulled pork dinner and was extremely flavorful! Being from Florida, bbq options are very limited and this was nothing short of great! read more

Was in town for a paintball tournament. As always after watching and playing, me and the team need to curve our appetites. One of our guys was sorta local coming from Hammond, IN and recommended this place. Sometimes you can tell how good a restaurant is by its decor and it's occupancy. Both didn't disappoint. We chose to sit outside due to the beautiful weather we were receiving. The food came out fast and once everybody sat down, it instantly became silent. The whole table with their mouth fills just gave each other nods in agreement. THIS PLACE IS FIRE!!! read more

Took my brother here for t he 1st time. OMGoodness we all thought enjoyed it. The service given by Karen and Ramirez was noted exceptional.

The steak was dry and the taste was nothing to write home about. We hadn't been there in years and stopped by. Seems since then they cheapened on the sides (tiny container of apple sauce). I can speak for the chicken or pork but the steak was BAD! read more

I will continue to dine there and I was always given superior service. The place gets super packed literally every day that it's open so, it should be understood that I wouldn't spend too long there after I'm done eating. End.of.Story... now pass the pork chops! read more

I was looking at the reviews of this fantastic establishment the other day and some of them were negative. As a longtime customer, I had to pay this restaurant a visit to see if these negative reviews were fact or cap. Just as I had suspected, the reviews were a load of egregious cap. What happened to shame? Below is a picture of my food. Let's think, why is the plate empty? Truthfully, the plate is empty because I went undeniably nuclear on my double cheese and was enjoying it so much I didn't want to grab my phone. Well, either that or I didn't want to deal with the straight up humiliation that would come with posting a yelp review picture of a burger with a monster bite taken out of it. In short, don't get it twisted. This establishment is, and always has been, straight petroleum. read more

This is our favorite BBQ restaurant. Pulled pork, pork chops sandwiches and a huge menu of options. But my favorite, their Brisket is the best I've found. read more

The meat is ok, but everything else is just mediocre. Drive a little further, there are better BBQ places

So we were at a Parish party, and Hog Wild was the caterer ... and they were a wonderful choice. Catering to large parties - even Parish parties - can be problematic, but these guys carried it off perfectly. Our little party (a bit over 300 party goers) focused for dinner on just the signature pork chops - 2" thick or so - and OMG (pun intended) good. They make these chops done well and still juicy, and the BBQ sauce that they provide just tops the delight. We have been to Hog Wild in the past, so we can support their other offerings, but the pork chop is a stand out. Their pulled pork (4 stars) is also amazing. Some of the best we have eaten. Sides are good across the spectrum - potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, and applesauce. If you are on the southside and have a hankering for BBQ, give this place a try. read more

The food is succulent especially the chicken dinner. You have to get there early before they run out. And you have to have cash. Oh the poor backwards south side! But this is a good place for delicious food at a low price read more
