I came all the way up here from Colorado Springs to try the food! I’ve had brisket and pork and all the normal bbq things 1000 times but something about the smoke flavor made these guys stand out! I also tried the mouth watering burger and it was cooked perfectly but my number one was the wings! So good with the gold bbq sauce and the fries that are fresh cut were delicious!! The ranch was also to die for!

This place was super friendly, I got there and I got seated quickly. My food came out fast and I have to say it looked amazing! Ordered the smoked brisket and some wings but the wings were my favorite! Super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The smoked brisket would fall apart! but I feel like it was a little dry. I do recommend this place for sure though!!

Not gunna lie, when our food came out it smelt like someone who doesn't wear deodorant. It literally smelt EXACTLY like that. The ribs were a little dry and not very tender at all. The brisket was not very juicy either. But they made up for it with flavor and season and smoke. Ribs were semi tacky from the sauce, and pink from being infused with alot of smoke. They were actually really good. I can imagine how they are if they were a little more moist and a little more tender. We mixed the spicy bbq sauce with the honey mustard sauce and that turned out to be a great combo to juice up the ribs. We also ordered the chicken wings with the house seasoning and blue cheese on the side. They were really good with just the seasoning, but when you dipped them in the blue cheese it created an explosion of flavor. Was amazing and highly recommend the combo. The brisket had an amazing pepper flavor that I really liked. I ended up saucing up each bite to give it some moisture. The sides were good. The beans were actually really good! The mac and cheese had the texture, color, look, but lacked any flavor. Service was friendly with several check ups by every day, and they made sure our drinks were full. They have a full bar so you can enjoy a drink with your Q! I still give this place a 5, even with the couple of minor issues. I honestly can't wait to go back and try their deserts. Thank you!

We were looking for a new bbq place and found Hogback on google maps. Service was good, food was excellent. We had some brisket, some turkey and both were tender and tasty. Added on some fried pickles which were quite good. Sides we had the fries, mac n cheese and cornbread which were all good. Definitely recommend for some food bbq.
