Just passing through, the food was great and the service was excellent! Six different types of sauce, very generous portions for a really reasonable price. Hope to be back! read more

Great menu options. Above average BBQ and easy options for families. Good prices for the amount of food.

Pretty good BBQ. The brisket & pulled pork was flavorful; plus nice sauce choices. Cole slaw & baked beans were tasty. I'm from SC, so pretty particular about pork BBQ. Although good, not as good as the Carolinas. Nice blues tunage in the background. read more

Pulled pork was nice and juicy. But when I'm having BBQ I really enjoy french fries. Not fried potato triangles

The food here was okay (not spectacular but not terrible.) I had the sausage and the potato salad. The potato salad had a sour cream base, which was actually really tasty! The sausage was good, as well. The BBQ sauces, however, were too vinegary for my liking, so I had to eat my sausage sans sauce. I'd come back again. read more

The ribs and the brisket are the best. We also had the pulled pork, but it was soggy. The cheesy corn was great! And the cole slaw was ok, but too vinegary. The ribs had great sauce and the brisket was moist. No one needs 8 sauces. I'd come back again for the ribs. read more

Buckinghams and rib crib have better bbq. The food was cold , the bottom 1/3 of the baked beans was hot, the top half was cold. Potatoe salad was.good, I like egg salad . My husband does not like eggs and he did not care for it. Beans were ok . Heavy handed with liquid smoke . Meat did bot have a smoke flavor to it, also was cold. The BUNS was a pack of sunshine brand store bought hamburger buns , also cold. BBQ sauce, 16 ozs !!! Of the stuff , again to much liquid smoke, to much vinegar. Lean brisket, cold, not well smoked. Expensive for what you get. Tried this place because buckinghams was closed ...we will go to rib crib if buckinghams closes again. read more

Got here at lunch time on Tuesday ,ordered ribs potato salad and baked beans. I tried to eat it but was just bad fast food. The ribs had been on the heat table for months,dry,very dried out the beans are just pork and beans with small pieces of Bologna chopped up in it. Potato salad was fair. On a scale of 1-10 Ribs get a-3 beans 1 and p,salad 3. I left most of it behind .There are great restaurants in Springfield we were just passing through and thought we would try a different spot,sorry we did read more

This is the worst BBQ restaurant I have been too. Several tables still had plate on them when we sat down. My husband food was cold. The BBQ near was salty and the side dishes were tasteless. read more

Very good - cute short blonde took my order - suggested the sour cream potato salad, really good. Had the sarge which has every meat in it which was really good but next time I'm going to try each separately. Reminded me too much of a boot camp meal where you eat all your leftovers mixed together lol. But like I said it was really good - just too much going on at one time for me! Really like the spicy BBQ sauce! First time here, I'll be back. read more

Really authentic and amazing! I had ribs, potato salad and baked beans. All superb. Plus, the staff was awesome. I travel alone a lot so friendly, interesting staff who are interested in me are important. Whole Hog hit a home run with me! read more

A really good price for really good food. I walked in for Friday dinner and ordered my sliced brisket with baked beans and potato salad. The potato salad is really unique by the way. By the time I paid and walked to the end of the counter and filled my water glass, the girl was holding my meal waiting for me to find a place to sit. What a great value for ~$10.00. I got a fair amount of very good hot brisket, a decent helping of beans and really unique potato salad. Just what I ordered and I had a variety of flavors of BBQ sauces to make me happy. This is #1 best value BBQ in Springfield that I have tried so far. I've been here many times and NEVER been disappointed. read more

Overrated BBQ staff was not friendly , my loaded spud was ok not enough cheese and sour creme and too pricy 8 bucks !! When I asked for some sau e to go got a tiny cup with two teaspoons in it. read more

Love having all the descriptions of the sauces right there at the table first of all. We had burnt ends and brisket, with a 3 rib add on, all very good. We'll definitely be going back. read more

Very disappointed. A chalkboard showed prices incorrectly and our lunch was too high prices. A waitress acknowledged the error and the manager was busy at the time but ran out to the car as we were leaving. No offer of refund or anything else except would correct the error. Baked potatoes were dry and cold with very little on them for toppings or what we paid. Very disappointed. Cindy S. read more

There is a truck stop on the other side of the interstate so we were able to drop our trailer and drive over there. Had plenty of space to park and it was a quick in and out. Ribs were on point! Got a half slab and wish I had bought more. Very creative touch they had on their sauces. Instead of names they sorted them by number and texture/taste. Their sides were really good. Their take on sweet corn was unique. Really cheesey. My least favorite on my plate was the dinner roll. It was kind of similar to golden corral but it had no taste or even butter. But I would go back again. Very recommended! read more

I grew up on Texas BBQ so it's hard for me to judge other places... that being said this place isn't bad, the sausage is good with a little kick, the brisket needs some more smoke but it is tender and does the job. I would recommend this place if you have a craving. If you have 6 sauces on the table you are focusing on the wrong part of bbq... just saying. read more

Burnt ends and green beans are delicious. Great variety of BBQ sauces. Sausage was mediocre at best. I would go back, but skip the sausage.

Two words. Cheesy corn. Try it at least once. Otherwise, the ambience is quiet and the food service was quite quick.

Got into town and after reading the reviews decided to try Whole Hog Cafe. The woman at the register was most rude, short,and did not greet us or in any way seem inviting. Then informed us they were out of chicken, sausage and brisket!!! WHAT!! Read rave reviews about the cheesy corn. It was ok but not anything to write home about. Had to get pulled pork and burnt ends that were ok. Roll was cold. Baked beans were ok but had a tang! So unfortunately will not be returning to Whole Hog Cafe. But will try another place that at least acts like they want our business. read more

This is hands down my favorite BBQ in the Ozarks. The portions are big and the flavor of the sauces is even bigger. The music is great. You can get lost in your plate with all the savory goodness it provides. It's good for families. The staff is friendly even when it's busy. I would suggest it to anyone. read more

Driving across the country and stopped in here. By far the BEST bbq I have ever had!! The cheesy corn and potato salad were so delicious! I wish I could go back already! Also the Staff was super friendly and patient as we had never been there before I did t know what to order. read more

Great potatoe salad. Nice place to go in Springfield. Also had the reg . Pulled pork sandwich. Comes with cole slaw- excellent. I would recommend this place. The rich mustard and vinegar sauce is good to. read more

Simply put, Whole Hog Cafe is my favorite BBQ in Springfield. And what's not to love about a successful locally owned business? I've been to two of the locations in SGF, and while both were great, I tend to suggest the N. Glenstone location to my friends. It generally seems a bit less hectic during heavy traffic. Food-wise, I always stick to the basics. Pulled Pork Sandwich with a slew of sides. And while we're talking sides, you'd be dong yourself a disservice if you didn't order the Burnt-End Cheesy Corn. This is now my favorite way to eat corn. In closing, as a testament to my love for great barbecue, last summer Whole Hog catered my wedding reception and it was a hit all around. Very reasonably priced (which is important when you're looking at feeding 150 people), they were also polite, helpful and very appreciative of our business. Would cater through them again in a heartbeat. read more

Second time here, and, yes, rock solid bar-b-que! This place has it all, huge menu of delicious options, clean, super friendly staff and to me, the key for a solid BBQ restaurant - great sides. I've tried the pulled chicken and beef brisket before and both were great. The brisket was well seasoned and juicy, the chicken had just the right amount of smoke flavor and was moist and meaty, perfect. This time I got the pulled pork and sausage link. The sausage was very good with just a hint of spicy but the pulled pork is the winner. I like pulled pork that is moist but not soaked in the juices - it should be able to draw in the sauce and that's another thing - the sauces. Six choices and endless combinations if you like to mix 'em up like I do. Sauces number 1, 3, and 5 are my favorites because I like sweet, heavy and sometimes hot/spicy sauces. This place is a winner! Put it on the "MUST DO" list... read more

I was disappointed. I spent almost 20 bucks on Dried out ribs & brisket, pork with big pieces of charred skin and small portions. Manager wouldn't budge so poor customer relations as well. She came over afterwards to ask if I was full, I suppose to prove her point that the portions were enough which is totally not the point. When I get a three meat "whole hog" special I expect to be wowed like at other places, and maybe have leftovers if I don't pig out (I couldn't resist). I travel a lot and will not be coming back here! read more

great smell as you walk through the door and helpful staff. the menu is broad but understandable. the food i ordered was the two meat plate with home fries and beans. the meats i ordered were the pulled pork and the brisket. both meats had a very good and lively taste which made the meal enjoyable. the sauces on the table had a taste for 6 different pallets and were very good. the hot sauce is only served at the counter since it is considered a bit overkill. would i eat here again, YES! read more

Great barbecue find in our trek from Philly to San Diego. Right off the highway, on hotel row. Truly nice people -- especially Randy our host -- and we were happy to hear that there are other locations, including one in NM on our route. 6 different sauces on each table, and all of them are excellent. These folks take their barbecue and excellent side dishes seriously and it shows. read more

My husband and I were looking SO forward to eating at Whole Hog in Springfield, MO. We went to eat at 6:45 and they were all out of pulled pork THEN we love sausage and THEY WERE OUT OF THAT as well. We left and ordered pizza. If they can't serve enough people those items after 6:45 that is really SAD. They need to step it up. Very Very disappointed read more

Had the brisket and pulled chicken. Both were good and service was fast. The roll was a bit disappointing but will be back. Prices are reasonable. read more

First time eating here, passing through from Indiana and just have to say it was amazing, we don't have very many BBQ restaurants up north. The BBQ pulled Chicken was great. The cheesy corn was probably my favorite side. The waitress was super nice and friendly. Restaurant was very clean. We would definitely go back again. Maybe we will stop on our drive back home. read more

Stopped by during the ATHS truck show. Had the brisket and pulled pork and both were excellent. Great service, checked on us to see if everything was good. Would come back read more

Excellent meal! Pulled pork and two sides (coleslaw and baked beans) could not have been better. Driving from OKC to St Louis we have finally found a convenient (just off I44) and tasty, lean, bbq. read more

Some of the best ribs I have ever had! I had the pulled pork and brisket as well and I give them A 7 out of 10. Ribs are worth the trip, I see how they won 2nd place in Memphis in May. read more

I tried their nachos and they were amazing. The rest of my family's food looked great also!

Best in Springfield. Great burnt ends, & the potato salad might be the best I've ever had!

Beef brisket was EXTREMELY FABULOUS! The potato salad was like no other potato salad I've had. Very original and treated great. The only suggestion is make for this restaurant is to add bbq sauce to the baked beans. This place is gluten conscious but doesn't have gluten free bun or gluten free beer or cider. I would go back for more food to try. It is a little pricey but well worth it. read more

We just stopped and ate a late lunch. Got the 3 meat plate and hubby got the half rib plate. I got the pulled pork, brisket, and sausage. Came with 2 sides. The potato salad was very good and made with sour cream so it wasn't super sweet and had a little bit of a tang! Liked it enough that I found the recipe on Pinterest and will attempt to recreate. I generally don't care for pulled pork and it ended up being my favorite! Very moist and not over smokey. Brisket was a little dry and sausage was ok. The ribs were very good and tender. We will definitely put this on the repeat list for our next trip through. Very clean and the staff were very friendly. Family oriented and highly recommend. Gave it a 4 star only because not all the meats were as good as the pork and ribs! read more

Being from Texas, it is hard for me to get used to the style BBQ around here, but, this place does a really good job on the meat. The numerous choices of sauce is a nice touch. I enjoyed trying them all. I ordered the whole hog plate and got to sample more of the meats and veggie choices. The ribs were the best and the coleslaw was very good. The beans and potato salad were not very good and a cold, hard roll served with the meal was terrible. That said, I am giving it a three star on the basis of the sides. Better sides and I would give it a five. read more

Great ribs, the food came out quickly. Quite a variety of sauces to choose from. I never had an opportunity to try smoked green beans before! I would come back again when in the area. read more
