Wanted to have real southern BBQ and Boarhogs appeared to be the best choice available. Glad I went. BBQ pork was tender, juicy, smoky and flavorful. French fries that accompanied the basket were crisp, hot and delicious. Bottomless sweet tea. What could be better. I tried all the vinegar based BBQ sauces; none were not to my taste. I am not from here, so not trying to be judgmental - just not for me. Service was fast, friendly and welcoming. The place is comfortable, lots of tables, TVs and wild boar head mounts on the wall. It is clearly a place frequented by locals and I am glad to report Boarhogs has a brisk lunch business. I was one of 3 men not in a ball cap, Camouflage hunting shirts are in style. Glad I made it here -- no disappointments. read more

The food was just delicious. I got the ribs and they were falling off of the bone with just the right amount of seasoning. The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I called my order in and it was a good thing that I did because the line to order was out the door but the girls working the counter were very friendly. read more

Boarhog's Barbeque - The rib plate...delicious! - American Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

Great flavor, portion, and speedy service! Definitely coming back the next time Im on the east side.

A truly great place to eat barbecue and much more. The sides are all so good. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. Don't walk...run...to Boarhog's. read more

So close to the house and when I have a hankering for a sangam loaded tater BoarHogs is the only place with the cure. No other smoke shop has better oink oink bits. read more

Staff was very friendly. The place had a great local feel. The pulled pork was good. read more

Not bad at all. The Brisket was ok. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious. The mac and cheese is decent, but my favorite side was the hash brown casserole. I tried the banana pudding but it was way too sweet for me. The peach cobbler though, that was perfect. Overall not a bad little spot . read more

Boarhog's Barbeque - American Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

Good menu options. Their chicken salad sandwich was awesome. Good fries. Friendly staff. Will be coming back.

Solid BBQ. Had a good meal, generous portions. I ordered the green beans...didn't like them and asked to have baked beans instead. Yes! No questions asked. The baked beans are the bomb. Place was solidly busy, and the food came quick. read more

Barbeque is something I take very seriously! I'm not a certified judge, but I have eaten plenty to know a great place when I see it. Boarhog's is a not so hidden gem since it now stands right off 72 but probably forgotten since it is on the other side of Chapman Mountain. After stumbling upon an article that detailed the history of this place, I was astonished none of my coworkers had tried this place. On the way home one night, we decided to stop for a plate and were not disappointed. I tried the pulled pork, mac and cheese and baked beans and enjoyed every bit of it. I even saved half my meal for lunch the next day and it was still as flavorful as the night we got it. My wife enjoyed her pork plate and would love to stop here again. Don't forget about this place; it is the best BBQ in Huntsville! read more

Boarhog's Barbeque - Pork plate w/ Mac n cheese and baked beans - American Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

Great BBQ with an authentic family touch- you won't be disappointed! We especially enjoyed the pulled pork, cheeseburger and wings.

I was super excited to come to this place but a little disappointed. The staff seemed disorganized & not on the friendly side (mainly like they didn't want to be there). Their counter where you went to get drinks, silverware & bbq sauce was not very clean. Their floor & their tables were sticky & not wiped down well. The bbq sauce was runny & they all tasted the same & I heard many other patrons complain about this. Their way of calling people to let you know your food is ready is hard to hear them sometimes. It would be better off if they had some sort of paging system. Their garbages were overflowing & needed to be emptied which staff could have done but there was a lot of people behind the counter standing around & not really knowing what to do. Food was not above average & I would not go out of your way to try it since there are many others BBQ places in the area. Food did not come out very warm & presentation was not very neat. It pretty much looked like they just threw it on the trays. read more

No change in my review- I continue to enjoy the food I get here. I will add the peach cobbler is fantastic and worth getting

Good lord almighty. I finally came here on Mother's Day for lunch. That could've been a huge mistake all things considered because they were SLAMMED. They layout doesn't make one lick of sense but I'm not sure they were anticipating having a line out the door for a few hours straight. I wasn't aware that I had had their food prior via takeout but was absolutely delighted by this amazing spot. Word to the wise, two people could split a plate meal or live off of the leftovers for a few days. I had the 2 meat plate with chicken tenders and pork with baked beans, mac and cheese and fried squash. The tenders were quite good and appeared to be homemade. The Pork was just so dang good! It seemed like they gave me a full pound or close to it! The sauce..oh lord the sauce. Y'all, this is Eastern Carolina style. Meaning vinegar and pepper based. It's so refreshing to have a regional style BBQ that's not native to where they are AND pulling it off well! Vinegar or mustard and pork just go hand in hand and it's a nice reprieve from thick, sweet sauce. The Baked beans were quite good and the mac and cheese was about what you'd expect. The fried squash was so dang good too! My girlfriend got brisket and fried catfish. The fried catfish were strips and beyond delicious. The brisket was quite good as well. A little on the fatty side but I'll never complain about that. Lean brisket is my least favorite. Regardless, I'm looking forward to future visits here that's for dang sure! read more

My family and I were driving by this place and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed. We were there around 5:30 pm and we were a little worried that it would be full. It was but we were able to find a table. The service was great and the staff was friendly. The food was very good and it was served fast. The half chicken plate had plenty of food. The dry rub has a little spice to it. I enjoyed it but I just wanted to let those who might not want spicy. The loaded potato was also very flavorful and filling. They have actual homemade banana pudding! Amazing! We cannot wait to come back and try some of the other food! read more

Wow and wow again! BBQ done absolutely right. Extremely fair prices and super friendly staff. We had the ribs, and two differently flavored wings. The kids loved the Mac & Cheese and the fries and mayo-cole slaw were on point! Will definitely be back to experience the other offerings. read more

The service was great. The ambiance was fine. The food was just okay; very bland and not at all what I was expecting considering the high reviews. read more

This place is indescribably good. Some of the best bbq I have ever had in my life. I'm mad its taken us so long to finally try it. We had the rib plate and smoke chicken wing plate. Ribs were otherworldly and the wings were super good too. We both got the baked beans and hashbrown casserole as our sides. Some of the best I have had for both. We will definitely be back. read more

Great service and great environment. Food is great, but be ready for large portions that you may need to take home! I will be going back!

Boarhogs never disappoints me. It's the most consistent restaurant I've been to. Great prices, huge portions, very friendly staff. Can't say enough good things about this place. Definitely recommend the pulled pork sandwich & hashbrown casserole. The potato nachos are so yummy too. read more

Boarhog's BBQ is ok. It's decent for a quick meal especially when it's not far from my grandma's house. My grandma heard of this spot from someone else and encouraged my husband and I to try it while we were home. We agreed and gave them a try. It wasn't bad but we've certainly had better BBQ and fried fish. We placed our order over the phone and my grandma and I went to pick it up. Their customer service is very good. When we picked up our meal, we met Ms. Deborah Jo. Deborah Jo was super sweet. My husband ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries and my grandma and I ordered Fried Catfish plates. They do give you a lot of meat on the pulled pork sandwich so you get your money's worth. The meat was tender but it lacked flavor. It had the smoked taste but it didn't wow, if that makes sense. Taste wise, something was missing. Maybe adding some coleslaw would help. It was just bread and meat and BBQ sauce if you added it. Whatever was missing, the meat still needs a little work. The fried fish I'd say is the same as the sandwich, it wasn't bad but it was lacking in flavor. Some spices were missing from the cornmeal crust. However, it was fried perfectly golden brown. I also ordered fried okra as I love fried okra and Mac & Cheese. Their okra only had a light coat of batter and was thin, so it did not give that crunch I like from the batter. It also seemed a little soggy because the layer of batter covering the okra was thin. The Mac & Cheese wasn't anything special. It needed some seasoning and flavor. Maybe adding some different types of cheese or something could help. They are also good for kid's and serve kid food options such as chicken tenders. Overall, Boarhog's was decent but not wowing. read more

Always great food.....but sometimes a wait depending on the day. Hamburgers , BBQ, brisket and onion rings and stuffed potatoes all amazing! read more

best pulled pork sandwich ever. I've eaten a lot of bbq and this pulled pork rocks. The parking lot is always full and staff is super friendly read more

Best brisket sandwich this side of Texas. If you love BBQ, this is a must visit in Huntsville.

My only complaint was there was too much bbq and I tried to eat it all. Extremely friendly and helpful staff for this newcomer.

Best bbq in Alabama! Pulled chicken and pulled pork. Hashbrown casserole is scrumptious! Banana pudding is a must for dessert.

Stopped by with my mom for a little lunch date today and we were not disappointed - indeed, we are in love! And in a bbq pork coma, but that's beside the point. Boarhog's is a tiny little joint adjoined to a gas station. Seating is limited and so are hours, but it is what it is and it is absolutely worth carving a spot in your schedule to stop by for some extremely fresh, homemade BBQ and fixings! You know it'll be good when you roll up and can smell the smoke. Boarhog's was packed for lunch today, but the service was pleasant, friendly, and patient, and we managed a spot to sit. I had the pulled pork plate with mac n cheese and fries. Pork was succulent and tender and smoky. Fries had a lovely peppery seasoning and were hot and crispy. And the mac and cheese was one of the best macs I've had at a BBQ place. Creamy, mild, cheesy sauce and soft noodles. Texas toast served on the side and sweet tea to drink. No unsweet tea today. I don't know if that's typical. Can't say I care (much prefer sweet), but it might be nice for someone reading to know. My only complaint about my meal was that the medium heat sauce was a little too thin for me. Regardless, the pork was delicious enough to eat without the sauce. My meal was tasty, but my mom's pulled pork baked potato was absolutely fantastic. Best BBQ potato we've EVER encountered. Gut busting, huge, generous portion with a perfect balance of toppings. We will split it next time because I can't imagine topping this dish! Juicy pork hits the tongue first, but the baked potato stands right up to it, punching up with with starchy, cheesy, sour creamy goodness. We will be back for more! So glad Boarhog's seems to be seeing success - they deserve it! read more

I'm so excited the new location is open. It is very sunny and bright and the tables are spaced out well for this new environment we live in. The food has the same great taste and quality as the old smaller restaurant. They are open on the weekends which is great and they are serving breakfast lunch and dinner. One of my favorite items ( see picture ) is the boarhog biscuit. I've tried a lot of different things but I keep going back to the pulled pork. It's just so tender and well smoked it's delicious. This is definitely one of the top places in the Huntsville area for barbecue. read more

Boarhog's Barbeque - Boarhog biscuit - American Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

My favorite barbecue place in Huntsville! Always fresh and hot and served with a polite and friendly smile

I had the brisket loaded potato and my wife had the pork loaded potato, we also had fried mushrooms. All the food was very good and reasonably price, we will definitely go here again read more

The Brisket was great! We did take out and wait and service was fast. Large menu so everyone will go away happy.

This place is so good I stopped by twice today. I got Boarshog's Biscuit, what I have nick-named the Mother of All Biscuits (MOAB), this morning for breakfast and then stopped in for lunch and got the smoked chicken salad sandwich for the wife. The MOAB is so good. They pile enough pulled pork for two sandwiches onto a large golden biscuit and top it with an egg. I like my with no cheese, but it normally comes with cheese. The pork and egg combination just works. I guarantee you only need one and with tax is less than $4.50. read more

Nice place and BBQ was on point. Friendly service with lots to choose from. Wanted Brunswick Stew but that's only on weekend. I had a pulled BBQ pork sandwich with slaw (mayo based) and onion rings. Delicious and very filling for the small size. I will return. Atmosphere was nice and warm. I took it to go but if I had the time I would have eaten there. read more

Excellent food of many sorts! BBQ Butt, Pork Ribs, Sandwiches, Chicken, Fish, Delicious Banana Pudding, so check out their website and see for yourself.....it's ALL delicious! Service is quick and friendly, and prices are very reasonable! Overall great place for everyone! read more

Great place to stop for some delicious Barbeque. We had the pulled chicken which was some of the best we have ever enjoyed. Becky (Mrs Boarhog) was a very outgoing personality and made us feel right at home with that great southern hospitality. read more

I don't understand all of the glowing reviews here. Brisket and pork had no smoke, and speaking of smoke, the "smoked Mac n cheese" was Kraft Mac and cheese with water. Waited 20 mins for blah. Without a doubt, my friends and I will never return. read more

They are so friendly there, the food is reasonably priced and very good bbq. Usually get it to go, but have sat and watched the many tvs a time or to while I eat. read more

Food and service are out of this world! Brisket is a little greasy, but everything else is fantastic!
