Glad a friend recommended this place. There is inside seating and a covered deck with fans as well. Greeted as well as sat quickly. Good choice of drinks. We started with the Spicy Corn Bread which we all enjoyed and Spicy Links. Then we each had 2 Meat Platters. All enjoyed the food a lot and overall a great place. read more

First time going back since the renovation. The inside of much more open now and they added an awesome rooftop bar. The rooftop bar is certainly the place to be and it allows dogs. The service is consistent and they are very attentive. I had the Texas sausage and the brisket with two sides and piece of cornbread. The sweet tea always has a funny aftertaste and I can't quite put my finger on it. The brisket was good and I added some of their house sauce on it. The sides were good too and the beans have a nice little kick to them but aren't spicy. The inside is very open with plenty of seating and two bars total (one inside and one rooftop). Check them out if you're downtown! read more

I stopped in to Black Hog BBQ after being in the area for work and was excited to finally visit. This is a business I have been hearing about for nearly 2 years and have been wanting to check out. I was generous and rounded my review up to 4 stars but a 3.5 star review is more accurate of this restaurant. The restaurant is clean and bright, has plenty of seating, rooftop outdoor space, and a private parking lot. The staff were friendly and attentive and were happy to give recommendations on what to order. I ordered the two meat platter picking brisket and Arkansas brisket (burnt ends). Food came out fast and was fresh. All the meat was wonderfully cooked (having lived in OK and TX I am particular about bbq). I would have liked a little more "bark" on the brisket but that's a personal preference. The MD baked beans were one of my sides and they were impressive. Good flavor with some spice to them but they did have ZERO smoke taste. The Mac and Cheese also had ZERO smoke taste, was not hot, and lacked the creaminess I was looking for. I would not recommend the Mac and cheese. Corn bread was dry... no surprise there. In summary - the meats are good, the sides are hit and miss. I would like to see them offer a 3 or 4 meat meal option so an individual could really sample the menu. read more

Black Hog BBQ - Two meat platter - brisket and Arkansas brisket (burner ends) with Mac and Cheese and MD baked beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

My roommate and I came here after a long day of shopping. We love bbq. We got sat immediately and the staff was attentive to us. It wasn't super busy but I feel like it still would be even if it was. Though nothing will amount to my grandfathers bbq I did think the food was good. I liked the sausage and brisket that I got. My roommate for the burnt tips. They also have a variety of sauces to choose from to put on your meat. I chose the Kansas City. The energy was industrial but cute. It had a bunch of t a playing games or shows. There is also a bar. If you are GLUTEN FREE there are no gluten free buns for the sandwiches but you can just get the platter. read more

Food was delicious, plenty of sauces, the waitress was sweet and helpful, the atmosphere was roadhouse but bright and pleasant and the ample parking is FREE!! Highly recommended read more

We were on our way to a sandwich shop when we spotted Black Hog and decided to check out their menu. It looked delicious so we switched gears and got a table. It has a nice interior feel and once you order they bring out a caddy of different house made and one store bought sauces. Being a Saturday we were recommended to try the whole hog special, only offered on Saturdays and we decided why not. While they didn't hit everything out of the park it was decent BBQ and we'd be down to come back. What we got: Whole hog (review of our choice of sides below) - 3.5* I really liked the meat (nice and moist), the slider was alright (drier meat), the dry rib wasn't amazing though I really enjoyed the rub (they accidentally gave us a wet rib and let us keep it. I thought the wet rib was better but that could be because they had their delicious kansas city sauce on it. My husband thought the flavoring on both were really good but the meat didn't fall off the bone which is his gold standard for good ribs), and the cracklings weren't my favourite but I don't like them to begin with. We were disappointed the pickle wasn't a whole pickle, just three slices. And the pickles onions were also almost a small handful but I did like them. The cornbread was really good! Arkansas brisket (add on, son1/4 lb) - 4* I enjoyed it and loved the sauce. My more intense bbq connoisseur husband thought it was a bit overcooked and relied too much on the sauce for flavor Sides: Brown sugar sweet potato - 3.5* my favourite part was drinking down the leftover sugar juices. The sweet potato were nice and soft and I enjoyed the flavour. Coleslaw - 3* nothing spectacular and wouldn't order again. read more

The bbq here is a solid choice! Everything is truly good and we look forward to our next visit . Our visit visit was pretty late and they had sold out of much of their menu. Our second one - we came back specifically to try the whole hog platter. It was a bit disappointing with the volume and styles of meats. but still had several types of pork included which was different from some of the other cuts usually offered. Note that the whole hog is on Saturday only and they havnt updated their menus to reflect this. read more

Black Hog BBQ - The whole hog - Barbeque Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

While traveling we found this gem. We were greeted quickly by the friendly hostess. Waitress made a couple of recommendations and we took her up on them. The meal was plenty for two. We did add the ribs. The meats were smoked to perfection and oh so flavorful. They had different bbq sauces we like the KS one best. Everything is made in house and it was great. No complaints here! read more

The food is some of the best bar b q in the area. The thing I love the most is that it supports our military. The staff is always welcoming and friendly they even offer to clear your table if your letting your food digest before leaving. It's got plenty of seating but there's not a ton to look at. It has a fast food vibe. read more

Great & Friendly service. Caroline was a fantastic server. While awaiting our food, there was a good ambiance with a live perform.Our food ended coming out relatively quickly and was absolutely delicious. We got the Arkansas brisket and the ribs and they were so yummy!! The ribs were tender and saucy!! The brisket was also solid. Definitely get the cornbread if you can handle spice. They are spicy! read more

The food was good, the service was a complete different story. Sat and waited for a witress for 15 minutes, the restaurant was a third full. Once got witress placed order... then needed to get up again after waiting 20 minutes and a couple passing by from waitress to get the check. If you are paying Apple Pay, you need to give phone up to witress to bring to pay or get up and tap at witress station. All and all they may be good to cater something but in dinner room experience leaves a lot to be desired. But the strobe lights becomes of a broken light did not seem to concern the staff. read more

Jalapeno cornbread and hog tacos is fantastic!! Service is fabulous! Definitely will be back!

I've visited this restaurant a few times before and it's generally a decent spot to grab some good food. However, on this visit, they were out of almost all their menu items -- only sausage and chicken were available. Unfortunately, I ended up leaving to grab dinner elsewhere since I was really looking forward to some barbecue. I'd recommend calling ahead if you plan to visit this location to make sure they have a full menu available. If not, there are plenty of other amazing food options just a short walk down the street. Margarita was decent but a bit expensive. read more

I'll start off by saying, service was really good! Our server was very friendly and pleasant. I'd give 5 stars on service alone. We had Gumbo, brisket, burnt ends, ribs, Mac and cheese, and bbq beans. Everything was just ok. It hit the spot but didn't have a wow factor in the flavor department. read more

Went here somewhat early in the evening, wasn't busy in the restaurant at all. The renovations make it much more efficient, they have a roof top area now which would be nice on a cooler day. Food was great, probably the best BBQ in the Frederick area if you ask me. I think if it was closer to the downtown area of Frederick, it would be significantly busier. read more

Greetings, this was one of the more terrible dining experiences I've experienced in 2026. The racist behavior of the staff was suttle in the beginning but progressively got worse throughout the service. All of our services were delayed and my food came out cold. I had my children with me and literally felt unsafe to complain due to the environment. If you are African American I strongly encourage to go somewhere else, they do not value our dollar. read more

Terrible experience. We're there hours before close and there were a bunch of empty tables so I'll start by prefacing that. Now, we both ordered wings and a beer each, before we did that I told our server we were going to order more food (because I'd been big time craving their ribs again) sadly I never got to order them. Here's why: as we're enjoying our wings, still many on my tray and actively eating, she comes by and asks if we'd like some TO GO boxes for our food?? My partner and I exchange glances bc we were thrown off by someone asking if we want boxes to go while we're still eating, hadn't been there long, and had sights on a rack of ribs?? To this, we politely say "no thanks we're still working on it". We then continue eating but discuss how weird that was. Less than 10 minutes later (Again, STILL EATING, beers unfinished) she comes by with the check and sits it on the table! No ask of "would we like something else", "how are things going" etc. At this point we feel completely uncomfortable and clearly unwanted in their establishment because never in our lives have we been treated like that. Why are we being rushed out with all these empty tables and on a day you're promoting "game day", which makes it clear to us that you want people to stay and enjoy your offerings. We weren't there for the game, we were there because until yesterday it was a place we loved to come to if we chose to go out. Then, after the server drops the check, the hostess hurried over and tried to clear my tray while I still had wings on it to eat! What is going on here Black Hog?? Again, we never asked for the check?? It wasn't even 5 o'clock at this point. We planned on getting a rack of ribs that'd I'd been craving from here, but got rushed out and treated poorly. What is going on with this establishment?? I saw no one else getting rushed out, or treated less than and it's completely unacceptable behavior. For clarification, we weren't getting rushed out due to it being busy, or the time getting close to close. We paid at 5pm, they close at 8. Make any of this disrespect make sense. NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THAT. Just adding a photo of the time we paid. read more

Black Hog BBQ is the real deal. From the moment I walked in, the smell of smoked meat hit me in the best way. The vibe was welcoming and the staff was helpful and quick to take my order. I ordered the pulled pork and ribs with a side of mac and cheese and collard greens. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender, smoky, and full of flavor. You could taste that it had been slow-cooked with care. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, and the collard greens had the perfect balance of seasoning and tang. Portions were generous and the food came out hot and fresh. The sauces were also a standout. I tried a couple of them and each one brought a different kick that paired perfectly with the meat. If you love good barbecue and want a place that delivers on both taste and service, Black Hog BBQ is it. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

Food was pretty good. My husband loves bbq and we have done a few cross country drives searching for the best. This one holds its own, but the sauces are pretty average. read more

This is awesome & authentic BBQ! The ribs & brisket are the best this side of Texas. Both the potato salad and the coleslaw are outstanding. Many great sauces to choose from, but the meat is so superior, it's not really necessary. read more

TBH BBQ, is the best bbq food ever! Never disappoint. I always order food for my gatherings from TBH BBQ. I recently hosted a reception and ordered the Chuck wagon for 40 people and extra sides. The food was really, really delicious! Everyone at the reception enjoyed it and inquired about where did the food come from. Now you're gonna have new customers that never heard of the Black Hog. Most guest were from DC and VA. I want to give a shout out to Jackie, the young lady that took my order and delivered and set up my catering order. Thank you again! Nice presentation. Please thank your amazing chefs. Regards read more

I went to the new renovated roof top bar to check the place out. The roof top was tiny but nice. It just opened this week so the staff especially bartenders seemed to need some extra help or experience (service was very slow), but they were very kind and friendly. They have 2 draft beers on tap, and happy hour is 4pm to 6:30pm weekdays $2 off drinks. No happy hour food deal. Wish they do some small munchies on the menu. I didn't get any food this time but I will visit here again for bbq near future! read more

Outstanding restaurant, great service, fantastic food, and terrific waiter, bar tender, and manager interactions. Great side dishes. Very good beer selection. The highlight was the rooftop deck that was pet friendly. Recommended, would go again, with friends, dogs, or BBQ aficionados. read more

Amazing. Food was incredible. Service was on point. Can't wait to go again. Roof top seating is a must!!

Rib platter was very good and an excellent food value. I had the mac & cheese and potato salad sides. Both also very good. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich and fries. She said it was both tender and delicious. We had never been here before and picked the place just because it had a unique name. We'll be back! Amanda was an excellent server and made everything pleasantly smooth. We rarely stop in Frederick. Black Hog gives us a good reason to do so more often! Also, not so far off I-70, so practical as a road treat. read more

Super yummy Barbecue at Black Hog with lots of southern sides like mac & cheese, potato salad or greens. We had lunch on their new roof top deck with was enjoyable and pet friendly. Service was good and staff was friendly. read more

The bbq was excellent! Service was great and courteous. Great location and easy to get to. I highly recommend it.

Went around 4:30/5 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't packed at all, the hostess seated us right away and the server was super friendly. The drinks were really good-not watered down! We asked for the gumbo starter and the server was nice enough to bring it in 2 separate bowls without us asking! The food was amazing, the gumbo was spicy but enjoyable, the only thing I didn't enjoy too much was the chicken-it was dry but well seasoned! We will definitely be going back. I would say hands down better than Mission BBQ! It did start to get really busy around 5:30 but the service still seemed to flow well! read more

Black Hog BBQ - Dry rub ribs, Arkansas Beef Bbq, 1/4 chicken, Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. - Barbeque Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I used to live in the area years ago and knew about this place and loved it then. Recently, I had the opportunity to come back to town and made it here for dinner on a Saturday evening. It absolutely hit the spot. After having so many 'disappointing' BBQ dinners in and around Baltimore, it was great to come back to BBQ that tastes so good. I got the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and my boyfriend got a brisket platter with cole slaw and mac 'n cheese. Everything was excellent and we are looking forward to making the drive out again to come back. For a nice Saturday evening, the inside dining room was a bit loud, but we were able to get spots at the bar on the rooftop. Hands down, my favorite BBQ in Maryland (coming from someone who also used to live in Texas). ;) read more

Well done! Pork tacos were outstanding, Arkansas brisket amazing and peanut butter chocolate pie was out of this world( homemade) and of course our waitress Reagan was personable, sweet and attentive!!! Hats off to all! read more

Black Hog BBQ - Smoked brisket, smoked sausage, sweet potatoes,,coleslaw,& cornbread along with IPA beer - Barbeque Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

It was all so good. We stopped here after a day of shopping. It was early Saturday evening and surprisingly no wait to be seated. I had unsweetened iced tea along with a water with lemon and my other half went with the sweetened tea. I had the 1/2 rack of St. Louis ribs, naked. My sides were coleslaw and macaroni and cheese. Other food at the table -beef brisket, baked beans, potato salad and cornbread. The ribs were scrumptious, tender, and tasty. My favorite sauces were the original, mustard and the vinegar. I liked the potato salad and the coleslaw--they were both fresh. The cornbread was moist and yummy. The Mac and Chez was good too. I didn't taste the beans. I took an order of Buffalo wings home. The server was super nice and attentive. By the way, I was full after 2 ribs and we left me take home bags. The restaurant was full when we left. Apparently we had some stopped in just in time. read more

We came here on a busy Saturday for lunch. The place was packed. Our waitress was amazing. She had a big smile on every time she came by. Even though it was pretty busy, our diet coke and iced tea were always filled. Food was pretty amazing too. Dry rubbed ribs were so good. We wished we had ordered the whole rack so we could have more leftovers. We also got the triple meats to share. They even split the sides for us. Overall a great Saturday lunch. read more

Well if you like BBQ joints, there is a lot to like here. If you don't, you'd mind the menu as challenging as three-dimensional chess. During a recent midweek lunch, the near-empty restaurant pleased our plates with Arkansas-Style brisket (perhaps similar to burnt ends, bathed in semi-sweet, thick sauce) and excellent side dishes. On balance, the menu and taste (limited so far by what we did order) compares favorably with Mission Barbecue. (I consider Mission to be the Chevrolet of such places - a solid choice that represents a minimum acceptable standard). Prices were a little steep; is the $15 lunch now in the rear-view mirror because it cannot be attained here. A little less food for a little less money, on the lunch menu, could earn that 5th star. Maybe they earn it when I return and try something diffeent, which I plan to do. One final point: the location provides lots of local competition to Black Hog; requiring them to keep on their toes to continue to succeed. Let's hope they do. read more

Pork belly tacos and drinks sooooo good! And the new rooftop is amazing. Reasonable prices

A quintessential BBQ joint- with picnic table seating, paper towels & bbq sauce set-ups on each table, and friendly quick attentive staff. We ordered two meat platters including smoked beef brisket, smoked pork shoulder, Carolina chopped pork, and Arkansas brisket with mac and cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, and fries, paired with a side of cornbread. To be honest, we were eating here after our own little beer tour-so we were a bit tipsy, ready to have meats and hearty sides absorb some alcohol..with that being said, none of the meat had a distinguishing quality flavor. Everything tasted quite similar, none stood out as 'omg this brisket..or ooh that pork' it was just moist flavored meat with generic sides. Noting also, the portions weren't as large as some BBQ joints in our area. As for the sides: the coleslaw was very watery, the fries were soggy, the collard greens also watery, and the cornbread was a very small dry piece. Majorly disappointing. Quality & Quantity do not match the price. I'd eat somewhere else next time. Sorry. read more
