Needed some good AR pulled pork bbq before driving back to TX where brisket is bbq. Glad we stopped here, they don't make hog like this in TX : ) read more

After a long day of driving from Michigan, I called in my order ahead of time. The young man on the phone was very friendly and when I arrived I was greeted warmly. I ordered the "Ultimate Platter" and the regular size pulled pork sandwich. Here is what I thought. The pulled pork sandwich was excellent. I ate it in the car on the way to my hotel and didn't add any BBQ sauce, and I didn't need to. Really good flavor along with the crunchy slaw added to it. The ultimate platter was a different story. The brisket was bland and a bit dry. Really no flavor at all. Maybe it was warned up from the previous day. The pulled chicken was average. Again, not much flavor. The 4 ribs were mediocre at best. Luckily there was some pulled pork in the box and a couple rolls, so I made a couple small sandwiches. I had three sides and the beans and potato salad were, you guessed it, average. I like their slaw. After a long ride I was pumped for some good BBQ and there are a lot of trophies lined up inside. But today's food didn't earn another one. If it wasn't for the pulled pork, I would give this place a failing grade. read more

Whole Hog Café is located in a suburb of Little Rock---Bryant, AR and just off Interstate 30 on Highway 5 North in a free standing strip center. It does not have a great curb appeal from the outside however the food was excellent. Enter the building and you order at the counter. I had the 1/2 slab ribs , which were some of the best I have ever eaten. My spouse had the 1/2 chicken and that was one large "bird". Two sides, potato salad and slaw made a very good meal. The prices are very good. $11.99 for the ribs and only $7.79 for the 1/2 chicken. Next time I think I will get the chicken as it was cooked just right with the meat being juicy and not dried out. The smoky flavor was excellent for the chicken. The ribs had one of their bar b q sauces on them and I would not have selected a sweet sauce but rather a spicy sause. Next time I will ask for the ribs without sauce and then coat the ribs the way I desire from the selection of six different sauces on each of the tables. The hallway was displaying many trophies that have been won at bar b q events and I can see why. Very good experience with great prices. read more

Took a cross country road trip from Nashville to Sacramento, and stopped here on the way. Best BBQ I've ever had, hands down. Was expecting to love the brisket, but fell into a deep trance after tasting the pulled chicken!!! Best chicken i've ever had. Definitely recommend it. Plus, the spicy bbq sauce is the best!!! read more

I need to go back...I usually do not review BBQ until 2-3 visits. it was good, and I would go back. But...its only a average BBQ place at this point. Baked Beans were the best item, Pulled pork is very good and I like the assortment of sauces, brisket was too dry and lean for my liking (nothing special) fries are not very exciting either I'll update this after another visit read more

Poor take out. Ordered several pounds of meat a few days ago, to be picked up today at appointed time. Arrived at appointed time, paid for order, then was told my sliced brisket had been substituted with chipped. Not a fan of chipped, would not have ordered it or paid $18 a pound for it. Why wasn't my order put aside instead of being sold to walk ins???? Didn't offer ti cut price, but I got a free cookie! Really! read more

I'm not sure where they won the award, or what the award was for, but it was most definitely NOT for great BBQ. French fries were good and hot, beer was ice cold, service was not all that bad, I'm not sure what to say about the sliced beef sandwich, was kind of like Wal-Mart deli sliced, like it had to be cut with a machine slicer, I know my knife wouldn't cut it and my teeth could hardly chew it. read more

This place ROCKS! Coming from California, I had to try it, (saw it on the food channel) it did not dissapoint, I had the BBQ pork, cheese corn and tater salad...Perfect. *sauce #3* read more

I'm picky about my BBQ but really enjoy eating it! My wife and I stopped here for lunch. I ordered the brisket plate with fries and Cole slaw. The meat was good the sides not so much. Plain fries and the Cole slaw was pretty vinegary tasting. I was surprised how much meat they gave u compared to most BBQ places I've been. Wife had the pulled pork plate with beans and cheesy Mac. The beans were average and Mac well was just cheese lol! Would eat here again read more

One of the best BBQ plates I've ever had. Pulled pork cooked perfectly. Six different flavors of BBQ sauce on the table. Only weird thing was signing a membership to order a beer. Highly recommended. read more

Great suggestions and service from the women at the counter ...sorry that I didn't get her name. She took care of us like we were family. The burnt ends with spicy sauce were awesome. We will definitely be back. read more

Great service and high-quality bbq. Really liked the number four sauce (sweet and spicy?). Very friendly staff and very clean restaurant. Would recommend the pulled pork and beans. read more

Some of the best bbq in Arkansas. I enjoy eating the hog fries and loaded potato with pork. The nachos are also a great option that is different from other bbq locations. read more

One word "Delicious" had 1/2 rack of ribs Only reason I didn't give five stars I wish would have been able to catch them right out of the pit. read more

Great food and easy access off the highway. Also open Sundays and we had driven 200 miles looking for good BBQ and most were closed. The two meat plate will stuff you. 6 different BBQ sauces on the table to try. That made it fun. read more

Whole Hog Cafe - Pulled Rib potato! - Barbeque Near Me - Bryant, Arkansas

My parents are moving to the area and wanted to show me where. We stopped in on the way to try this place out. I was surprised at just how good it really was. The pork was as tender as any other great BBQ place. It is my hope to go back in the future and try some of their other meats. If you have a chance to stop in and fill that belly, give it a try. You will leave full and agree with me on just how good that meat is. read more

OMG. My husband and I have been on the road away from Texas for four months and we were really missing good Texas BBQ. We were staying at a nearby hotel and thought we would give this place a try, and boy are we glad we did. Literally everything we got was fantastic! I got ribs and chicken, hubby got pulled pork, sausage and chopped beef. We got everything without sauce because we truly enjoy the flavor of the meat. You guys, the meat here is so good! And the sides were tasty, too! Portions were plentiful and price was right! Wish they would open near us! Yum, yum, yum! read more

Love this place! Excellent barbecue and 7 different sauces which are guaranteed to knock your socks off! No better BBQ then right here!

Great bbq! Came in here on a Wednesday and it was not busy at all so got my food quick. The sauces are Great! Big fan of the #3 spiciness. I got the chicken plate and it was a great amount of food. The salad was pretty basic, but who comes here for the salad?? Fries were clearly fresh and hot. If I'm in Arkansas again I'll be back!! read more

Easy to order, great food, amazing staff members. All around great experience. Carry out, experience sometimes isn't as great as dining in.

Food is good. The sauces are delicious!! Food sometimes is inconsistent. That's why this is not a 5 star review. Staff is very nice.

I'm not ordinarily a big baked potato fan but I kinda dream of their loaded one with chicken & a couple number 3 & small volcano sauce.... **excuse me, wiping drool**.... don't get me wrong, all of the barbecue we have ever had here was top notch and on point... But oh how I dream of that loaded baked potato sometimes! read more

Wonderful food! I grew up with BBQ and then moved out of good food country. Found this place on yelp. We had the burnt ends as an appetizer. The were like candy. The seasoning was awesome and they were still tender for burnt ends. I had the sausage sandwich. Usually they are either too spicy or not spicy enough. I found this had the right blend. The baked beans were nice as well they cut up some of the scrap meat and put it in there as others do. Chili as a side. Six different BBQ sauces at every table. Did not disappoint. Good stuff. read more

Everything was yummy pulled pork, brisket, ribs and the cheese corn and beans sooo good! Service was the friendliest I had in a while

This is good BBQ but very overpriced. Can't afford$15-$20 for a sandwich 2sides and a drink. I will go somewhere else.

Pretty good barbecue. I love all the different sauces and they gave my grandson a free cookie...We will be back. My husband had ribs and they were good...needed to be a little more tender and they would be great. read more

This place has the best barbecue. I'm never disappointed with anything. I always end up getting something different, but I think they're pulled chicken sandwiches my favorite. Gotta love the burnt ends, though. Their potato salad is to die for by the way! read more

Nachos were awesome. And my wife's rib tip sandwich was Awesome also !!!!!! Customer service was spot on !!!!!

I would have to say this is the best barbeque place in Bryant. Great food and very friendly employees. Highly recommend this place.

Great food, great service. The woman who worked the tables was really kind and was great with kids.

This is some good food! I love the hog fries with pulled pork ! Amazing! The place is always very clean, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. My family and I eat here every chance we get! read more

This visit was much better and every bit deserving of five stars. The pulled pork was perfect, and so was the rest of the meal. Service was quick and everyone was satisfied. Way to rock it, whole hog! read more

Bbq that isn't crap. A bit expensive, but god created their potato salad. So just buy that and the nachos and walk away.

Very good! We had a loaded bake potato with Turkey, Hog Fries with brisket, and a garden salad. Food was well made and delivered timely. Cashier/Hostess was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. We had a late Saturday lunch and the seating area about half full - no wait for a table. My only nitpicking cons are: all cups are styrofoam, they forgot to remove the croutons from the salad, and the parking lot was a little challenging to exit. I'm sure if we were locals we would know better how to navigate to and from this location. I would 100% recommend Whole Hog Cafe and will come back the next time I'm in Little Rock. read more

Whole Hog is one of my family's regular go-to places in Benton. We've tried and love darn near everything on the menu. I especially like their half chicken plate--tender, fall-off-the-bone deliciousness. I just have a hard time deciding which of their great sauces to slather on it, although I'm partial to their mustard-based Carolina style. The sides are excellent, too, especially their beans and potato salad. Sim's in Little Rock is still my favorite, but Whole Hog runs a close second. read more

Great BBQ! Great service! I had the loaded baked potato. It was huge! They have 6 different kinds if sauces to choose from. They are sitting in every table, so you can easily try them all. read more

Decent bbq had high expections of this place I prefer Lindsey's or even sims bbq over whole hog anyday

The only BBQ place I will eat at in Central Arkansas. Meat is top quality, the sauces are fantastic, and service is always spot on. The potato salad is pretty greasy but the beans are great. Locations are always well staffed and clean. I wish rolls and buns would come out heated, but that's a small nitpick to an otherwise perfect food line up. The only criticism I have is the Jesus figurine dispenser near the door in the Bryant location. It's a kid's toy dispenser, but with "collectable" Jesus themed figurines. First, it's disrespectful to Christ. Second, it could offend those who are not Christians. Definitely not something one should see in a public restaurant... read more
