Delicious. My car was being serviced and I walked the 10 minutes. What a gem. Amazing brisket and the best collard greens I have had since Louisiana (that is not a joke-better like them spicy). Now I am wondering why I have never eaten here before?! read more

Stopped in today with a customer and a few coworkers on the recommendation of one of the crew, and dang, that was a solid call. WartHog Barbecue is straight-up awesome. The menu is stacked... like "everything sounds good, how do I choose?" stacked. Tons of options, all legit BBQ comfort food. I went with the two-meat special: pulled pork and brisket, plus potato salad, beans, and a corn muffin. Every single thing slapped. Brisket was on point, pork was tender and smoky, and the sides were legit; not just filler. Others in our group had the brisket Reuben (big hit) and ribs, which disappeared fast, so yeah... that tells you something. Huge shoutout to Deborah--she was fantastic. Super friendly, walked us through the process, brought the food, checked on us, grabbed anything extra we needed. Old-school good service, which you don't always get anymore. If you're looking for fancy vibes and linen napkins, keep driving. But if you want killer BBQ, a clean spot, and great service? This is absolutely the place. Zero regrets. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend. read more

I am a native Texan currently living in Tacoma. I was craving barbeque and Warthog did not disappoint. I had the brisket platter, which was excellent! The brisket was delicious as was the cole slaw and cornbread. Friendly staff and very good service. And, a really cute place to enjoy a good meal with friends. read more

The husband was craving barbecue and we happened to be in the area. We decided to stop on by. We were greeted by a lovely lady who was super friendly and accommodating. The staff were all so nice. We ordered our food. I got the 2 pieces catfish and he got the 2 meat meal (chicken and pork ribs). Mine was huge and came with greens, Coleslaw and fries. His came with 2 ribs and a hindquarter. I liked my order but his chicken was dry and his ribs were small. The coleslaw was delish!!! I liked the greens as well. The dining area was pretty small but the service really made up for it. We also ordered the slice of mountain berry Devonshire pie. That was sooooo good!! Not sure I'd go out of my way to come here but if I'm in the area, I'd stop by for some of the pie again. read more

It was my first time here. The food was delicious! The ambience had a country home sort of feel. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had the bbq chicken. The meat was moist except for the breast. I also ordered a side of sweet potato fries. Very yummy! I tried the ribs and wished I had ordered that! The bathroom was very nice too! I tried the chicken quesadilla. Not a fan! The sauce was too smoky read more

Quaint little place that has pretty darn good dood and staff is friendly. Always stop in when I'm passing through.

We came here for lunch and we had the tacos the pulled pork sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. I love the outdoor patio and the unlimited sodas. The price was not bad for a barbecue joint. Parking is a little wonky, but they had plenty of it. It's in an industrial area so it might be a little difficult to find, but it's worth it. read more

Bbq is ok , lots of ok bbq. Service makes no sense. I can't get a two meat bbq plate with both meats being pulled pork. I'm from the south , bbq isnt new to me and I've never seen this before. I was told you can't double the meat , it's not Doubling. You are paying for your choice of two meats and probably saving them money by not making one of them ribs. Prices are higher and customer service is a disaster. read more

Went here yesterday for my birthday. It was so yummy. I had the mac and cheese with pulled pork. So good. Talked to owner about being in the food business. Nice guy. I will make the drive to support him. Love it! read more

Plenty of food for the price you pay. Pretty good food too. However, some parts of the BBQ we received was a bit dry. They do offer a BBQ sauce bar, so slathering the yummy BBQ sauce on it made it better. The cornbread it comes with is very dense though- almost like a brick. The sweet tea wasn't sweet enough either for my taste. I lived in the South for 5 1/2 years, so I may be very biased. The restaurant is clean though and the servers, although new and couldn't give us suggestions when we asked, were very honest and polite. I wouldn't mind coming back here casually. read more

The service was fast and friendly. I had the pulled pork and brisket platter which was very good with tender meat which did not need a knife to eat. The place is kind of eclectic with all the animal heads. It is a BBQ gem hidden off I-5. read more

Check your bag, ordered a piece of pie, and I should have checked but I only got a rib meal and a piece of pie, so assuming it's in there, get home, no pie, I call, no answer, and says mailbox full can not take a message, I normally wouldn't care to much, but this was a 7 dollar piece of pie so kinda frustrating read more

Very friendly service. Wanted to like it... Told him my first time and Kid behind said gotta try the brisket so I did. Dry and tasteless. Ambiance is great if you're into that whole hunter cabin dead animals everywhere vibe read more

Food taste delicious; but I'm sure we got the short end of the stick. Take out Ribs and Brisket and arrived home and it was chicken and ribs. Be careful, probably better to eat in. read more

Stopped here on our way through the Tacoma area, and we will definitely be returning in a couple days on our way home. Such delicious food and friendly staff. Rustic and homey indoor seating, with plenty of relaxed outdoor seating as well. The food came quickly and I'm already craving the barbecued pulled pork sandwich again. Perfect ratio of meat to sauce, and the bun was soft, soaking up the sauce and all of it was magical to eat. Temp was hot off the grill, which I love, things just don't taste the same once they cool down. My teen son had the Wagyu cheeseburger with grilled onions, and for this picky eater & athlete to devour it is saying something. He couldn't quite finish it because it was so hearty. The fries were perfectly crispy and salted. Icing on the cake was all the beautiful pies they offer, we had a giant cookie with bacon and almond Roca. read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw for lunch. They were both very good. The service was great and friendly. The place is rustic and full of mounted animals. Highly recommended. Good and easy parking and right off I-5. read more

This place is so OVERPRICED for this quality of food. Just terrible quality. Fatty greasy meat and was overcooked. I had never heard of this place and now I understand why. American greed and robbery to charge this much. read more

Nothing had flavor. Pork was rubbery, brisket was dry, even the cornbread had no flavor. The staff was very friendly and their soda machine is dialed in nicely. read more

What a disappointment this was. The place was empty and there were many items that were not available. The Mac and Cheese with pulled pork had many things wrong. 1. It was lukewarm to start 2. The pulled pork was more like pulled pork fat. Very little pork and when you did get meat it was not flavorful at all. No smoke flavor. 3. The Mac was flavorless and tasted meh like ZERO seasoning and bland. The cheese sauce was not good at all. 4. The "Homemade Pie" was only good if you ate the berry topping as the cream cheese filling had zippy flavor. Overall it was a disappointment to pay $50 for a meal a 5th grader could have made better. read more

Fast service and fun decor. Pulled pork had good flavor but quite a bit of fat and non edible bits that needed to be picked out - if you made it at home you would have the same thing. At a restaurant I usually appreciate it sorted through a little bit more. Aside from that good smoked meat flavor overall, bbq sauce bar was great, creamy Mac n cheese and I would order it again. read more

Warthog Barbeque Pit - Pulled pork Mac n cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Fife, Washington

Meat is not bbq'd - it's steamed!!! No smoke ring, no smoke flavor. The sauce doesn't help.

Takeout order was not that good.. maybe it's better if you dine in. Brisket, wings and sausage with the sides that comes with meals. Chicken was delicious and the other meals were eatable. Cornbread is cornbread. Pick-up was the fife location. read more

So today, I am on Fife, and to my amazement I get the wafting aroma of pork in the air, one parking lot away there is this wood cabin with a few cars park in front of it, I map the location and to my sorpresa is a barbecue joint!!! So as a good Texas expatriate (lived there for 15 years) I wanted to try it. I was not disappointed, ordered pulled pork and is to die for; fat dripping sauce sticking meal. Satisfaction guaranteed!!! read more

Warthog Barbeque Pit - That is a f**king sandwich!!! Pulled Pork - Barbeque Near Me - Fife, Washington

I'm a bit surprised at the negative reviews. This place is a little hidden as it is on the opposite side of the freeway were most of the other restaurants in this area. I've personally never had a bad meal here. Pork ribs the meat falls off the bone. BBQ sauce was very tasty. The lady who took our order also checked on us during the meal and was very nice. My friend who has never been to this restaurant enjoyed his brisket meal and said he would return. I've always dined in and have not ordered to go from this restaurant. read more

Yummy food! Had smoked wings with fries. Hot sauce was super super good. Fries seasoned well, wings nicely breaded and crispy. I will be back! read more

We came here for lunch at 11:30 AM. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The staff were quite friendly and the setting was awesome! We had the brisket sandwich, Mac n cheese, and the nasty rice. Highly recommend! read more

Ribs were dry but the sauce was delicious. Brisket was 11/10! & I loved their potato salad. Cornbread was dry. CHILI WAS DELISHHHH! Staff was helpful! read more

Best bbq place in Washington im from the south so that says a whole lot about the taste of the food

Wow! How have I not been to Warthog in Tacoma. First walk-in and smells like smoke! Yes! Decor is fabulous and matches the exterior log cabin. Feel like a rustic hunters cabin with several mounted collections. Ok! Incredible. I am not a fan of saucy BBQ and this is not. I shared the brisket Rueben. Generous portion of brisket, great bread and cheese and kraut. Fries were amazing. Ordered a side of coleslaw. Everything incredible! read more

Warthog Barbeque Pit - Brisket Reuben with extra side of slaw - Barbeque Near Me - Fife, Washington

Few restaurants are this consistently good they were slammed when we got there today but the food was out exactly when they said it would be and it tasted amazing. Everything from the meat to the sides were hot fresh and delicious. The restaurant is clean and has a cool rustic atmosphere exactly what you would expect from a BBQ pit restaurant. The staff was friendly the menu was loaded with items and everything we've tried there has been good I highly recommend this place it's in our top ten restaurants for sure. read more

Service was good. I had the sliced brisket sandwich that was pretty saucy (surprised a bbq place doesn't have a chopped brisket sandwich - that's a staple of bbq I thought?!). The noodles in the Mac & cheese were soggy, the fries were fine and cooked right (I like mine crunchy and not soggy). The blueberry cobbler tasted like brisket and was horrible. Definitely find another place for the price they charge. read more

This place is subpar at best. My company bought lunch for us and we ordered a bunch of different things, I got the doc holiday. That burger was the most tasteless burger I have ever eaten. A burger anywhere else would have been better, Mind you, this burger is almost $20. I would rather make food at home and bring it than eat this for free. The fries were very soggy, but I like soggy fries, so that was a plus. A few of my colleagues got the brisket, which they described as mostly fat. Let's just say, we will never be ordering this for our company again. I hope you take this seriously. What a waste of money and meats. read more

Running errands and saw this place close to my stops. Read some of the reviews- all over the place but hey , worth a stop. They were ..... just ok. BBQ sauce was good, I had the pulled chicken sandwich -- kiddo had the cheese quesadilla. That was thumbs up review, but sandwich came in soggy bun, and bits of fat. Not appealing. Their house French fries were nice and crips. Also ordered the sweet tea, and it came out of the fountain HOT . By the time it was chilled it was watered down from all the ice I had to put into it. I ventured to the restroom cause they did not provide any moist wipes after eating a BBQ messy sandwich..... I had to move some big wooden box out so I could roll in and close the door. .... Just left the thing in the hallway ...... it had a sign on it "this is not urinal" !! . Obviously I guess someone tried ??? . So I won't be back - unfortunately... it was a cool place inside. -- and WAY overpriced $$$$ read more

Food: I ordered the BBQ Turkey and the guy at the counter said it wasn't one of his favorites, but I thought it was pretty dang good! The Turkey was tender and the BBQ sauce they give with it is really tangy. I was told the gumbo is bomb so next time I come, that's what I will get. Honestly, delicious food. I'm stoked to have found a BBQ place up in Fife. Atmosphere: So... wooden seats but they give you a Warthog emblazons cushion to sit on! Brilliant! It's such a cool place inside, looks like a hunters cabin. I love when places give it a little decor, but just make sure you dust stuff off once in a while... Price: Not a bad price, 15$ will get you a solid meal. You can also get party trays for like 50$ which is pretty cool. Also - they have sweet tea. Now, the guy at the counter said they "probably got it wrong" but I tasted it, it was pretty good. Actually, "authentic" sweet tea will make your teeth rot immediately with the amount of sugar that they put in. So, thumbs up for it not being bad "authentic." Service: When you ask the server what they like - take their suggestion. Now, I will have to come back to try the gumbo. Also, the server said their collared greens were delicious and I have yet to find a place with good collared greens, so I will have to come back because they were not ready when we came in the morning. Overall: This was a pretty bomb BBQ place that I never knew about, but I'm going to come back for more. It's not the south, but I'd say they did pretty good to bring the south up for Washington. read more

Warthog Barbeque Pit - BBQ Turkey was delicious - Barbeque Near Me - Fife, Washington

I've ordered to-go meals here twice. The first time I ordered was 2 years ago. Then I'd rate it 1/5. My fries were raw/undercooked, found curly hairs in my pulled pork sandwich. My partner ordered brisket and it was extremely fatty. We threw all the food into garbage because it was inedible. Truly disgusting. Second time was last week, i was very nervous it was gonna be terrible again but it was actually very good. I rate it 4/5. Food was cooked all the way through. I ordered smoked turkey sandwich and my partner ordered the brisket sandwich. We both enjoyed. Brisket had very little fat and meat was good. Turkey was great, it had a layer of fat on the rims of the meat but i peeled it off, no big deal. (I'm very picky) We ordered a bunch of fries and they were all cooked. Not raw. Kind of like 5 guys fries! Mac & cheese was .. ok. Couldnt taste any cheese and i felt like it was just macaroni swimming in a liquid. I'd say if you had a bad experience, try it again. I was pleasantly surprised and I think my partner & I will be ordering again in the near future! read more

I Wa late near closing time and they took care of me with a quick BBQ sausage sandwich and some incredible cheese cake.

Just picked up dinner from here with our toddler. He loved all the taxidermy while we waited for our food. Didn't take more than 10 minutes for our brisket meal, brisket tacos and pie. Friendly staff, small main dining area but everyone there seemed to be enjoying their food. read more

Do not go here without having at least $50 or more because the place is overpriced. They advertise 4 wings for $12.00 but in actuality you only get 2 big wings. The owner cuts 1 wing in half and considers that 2 wings. False advertising at its finest. Actually all the prices are overpriced. They don't serve anything diet other than Diet Coke which not everyone likes. The restaurant is compact so not a lot of moving space. Very little parking in the parking lot unless there is more parking behind the restaurant. The staff is friendly and they do verify all debit or credit card transactions with your ID which is nice. The food does taste very good. The collard greens are amazing. Overall the service is good and the ambiance is peaceful. read more

Moo cluck oink was overpriced and had 1 rib, 1 dry chicken breast, and brisket that was hard to find, beans were beneath everything I think but hard to eat it all while sorting through the bones. Pretty disappointing. read more

I don't know good bbq from bad bbq, but I do know what I like. And my brisket hot sandwich did not disappoint. I came with two other colleagues and asked for a recommendation. The cheerful young lady behind the counter said brisket! We each had something different with brisket (a dip sandwich, a reuben, and my hot sandwich), We all enjoyed our meals and decided we will be back. My sandwich: A crusty piece of french break with brisket on top, covered with gravy. This included mash potatoes. The brisket was seasoned well, the gravy was tasty and soaked into the bread, and good potatoes. Score...I have left overs! I took two pieces of pie home; key lime for me and peanut butter for hubs. He said his pie was very peanut buttery and rich (he took a few bites, and saved some for later). My key lime was nice and puckery, but good cream on top. Some may say pricey at $7 each, but home made pie is worth it. Good, friendly service and good food. We'll be back! read more
