I have friends that have suggested Hi Ho several times so I stopped in, man! The food is amazing! It's a walk up to the counter to order, but they bring your meal out to you. It's old timey decor here with plenty of seating and a couple TVs on. There's a wall with customer photos that's fun. I've been through several times now and always enjoy the food!! read more

Hi Ho 2 - Barbeque Near Me - Ponchatoula, Louisiana

I'm not sure what was worse the service or the food. I arrived at the end of the night, I wanted my food to go and the door was unlocked; the staff made it very clear that they didn't want to take my order. I got the BBQ beef and my stomach expressed it's dislike for the rest of the night. read more

We arrived right at 10am on Sunday. We were just passing through Ponchatoula and looking for a bite to eat. The restaurant was clean and the staff at the counter was polite and helpful. We decided to try the cheeseburger po-boy, sweet potato fries, and 1/2 & 1/2 tea. It was ALL perfectly prepared. I will definitely visit again to try the BBQ HiHo sandwich they are known for. read more

Cold meat days old so sorry don't waste a dime here cold cold and days old they bbq 1 time a week and sell old meat sad

"Sliced beef" and "pulled pork" was just deli sandwich meat, NOT BBQ. BBQ sauce is horrible. Smoked chicken was fine.

Average to below average food. Mediocre service. No ambiance at all. The night I was there, service staff were rude.

It was better than I expected. Food was hot and fresh. Burger definitely had a homemade taste:)

So very disappointed. Not the Hi Ho I remember. Went there for lunch before shopping and left still hungry - terrible. read more

Good hand patted burgers. Staff was nice, dining room was clean and kept up. Value/pricing is right on.

The outside looks of this place is quite deceiving as the food is great. I highly recommend the bbq pork and beef on bun. Just a tip, ask for them on tin foil not paper. I also recommend the boudin balls. They are not over stuffed with rice and are quite tasty. Las but not least, the hamburgers are very very tasty (don't quite understand how some say they are bland....geeze it's a hamburger) and not dried out. Great prices for flavorful food. Certainly a place I will be returning to frequently. read more

So many people rave about this little place, I had to try it. It was underwhelming to say the least. The building is older and it has a hole-in-the-wall type atmosphere... which usually indicates that the food, service, and prices will be amazing. The staff seemed annoyed, disinterested, and they were just borderline rude. The drive-thru worker seemed to enjoy yelling at customers about how they parked, and making them move their cars so they don't block her drive-thru.... Although the culprits were parked in marked spots. After reading the atmosphere and attitudes, I figured the food would be amazzzzzing. Something had to keep people coming back to this place.. The food was bland. Flavorless pulled pork that appeared to be sliced rather than shredded, drowning in a decent bbq sauce. The potato salad was average. The quick service chain restaurants serve up better bbq. It was just a sad dining experience. read more

Awesome BBQ sandwiches! Quick service and friendly staff always! My kids love the fried fish as well.

Large Jalapeño Pipers for $5.20. Got home and there were 4 very small poppers. This is robbery at its worst. Sandwiches were cold and soggy. read more

Hi Ho 2 - Jalapeño poppers $5.20. Are you serious? This is robbery by any standards. - Barbeque Near Me - Ponchatoula, Louisiana

Very disappointed...food extremely bland...sandwiches were cold and had to be microwaved upon returning home, and I live 5 minutes away. Pork tasted as if it was frozen and reheated multiple times...I tried the sauce before ordering any bbq sandwiches and it tasted pretty good in the restaurant but different once home...truly nothing to write home about! I was looking forward to a good bbq sandwich, guess I'll just have to make my own. I've never had to add salt, pepper and Tony's to any dish I've ordered till today... read more

If you want a quick sandwich, this has been a Ponchatoula staple for years! The restaurant is older, but the quality is there. The pulled pork sandwiches are covered in BBQ sauce and are wonderfully messy. The fries are delicious. If you want a po' boy, the fried shrimp po' our is delicious. There are other sandwich options as well, but you can't go wrong with these classic favorites! They even have glass bottles of ice cold Barq's root beer. There is a drive through or inside seating. The drive through is great for a quick lunch break. The service is pretty fast as well, so this is a good if you are passing through on the interstate or need something quick for lunch. read more

Hi Ho 2 - Barbeque Near Me - Ponchatoula, Louisiana

First time ever having dinner fro Hi-Ho. Won't be going back. Husband brought home a whole rack of burnt to the bone ribs. I had 2 and gave up on having more. The potato salad was great read more

I stopped in here on my way out of town Tuesday and ordered a bacon cheeseburger and man was it good. As a matter of fact, I liked it so much, I stopped back in Wednesday on my way home and got the same thing. You can tell that the meat is fresh and not frozen like a lot of fast food chains and the only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is because the burger could have used a little more seasoning. The teenage girl with braces behind the counter actually took my order both days and she was just a sweetheart. She has a great smile, awesome customer service skills and just down right friendly. I, unfortunately, didn't get her name but how many teenage girls with braces can work there? My overall experience was great but everyone has their own experience with food establishments so don't let the not so great reviews deter you. Try it for yourself! read more

Hi Ho 2 - Bacon cheeseburger for about $4.50 and it's pretty damn good and the cashier was very friendly. - Barbeque Near Me - Ponchatoula, Louisiana

The fries were obviously refried- old, dehydrated, and stiff. The burger was not horrible, but it was bland and below average. Maybe I got the wrong thing because, despite my poor experience, business was steady while I was there. read more

Got love for Hi-Ho as they've been around forever. I have to be in the mood for it though but their BBQ pork with cheese dressed is delish. And they have cups of melty cheese for all you cheese fries people. I recommend the cajun fries to the regular because the regular fries have no salt and aren't crispy at all. Their prices have went up over the years but then again, so has everywhere else. read more

The service was great, very friendly young ladies that works there. It wasn't the best but, if you like burgers, you will like this place. Good combo meals. Give them a try, you might like it more than I. read more

Hi Ho 2 - Double Bacon Cheese Burger...not bad - Barbeque Near Me - Ponchatoula, Louisiana

We took a chance and stopped here in n way home from NOLA. It was well worth our stop. The loaded fries were super - lots if beef, bacon, melted cheese, and Hi Ho sauce. Enough for two people. My husband had a hamburger that he said was the best he ever had. Thanks for a great meal! read more

One of my favorite BBQ place to go to. It is different than any other BBQ restaurant. The pork sandwich is my go to, but I have liked everything I have tried. read more

Hi Ho is a staple that has been around forever. My husband grew up on the bbq sandwiches. They are all barely more than a hole in the wall. This particular location has very poor service. We waited around at the counter with nobody there but us while there were 3 different girls doing absolutely nothing. My husband ordered 3 bbq sandwiches, which he said were ok. I ordered a hamburger, which was awful. I literally ate two bites and threw it out. It had hard pieces of bone or something in it and tasted absolutely horrible. Will not go back..... read more

I really only get burgers here. But they are super! I'd give them 4 stars but the menu is too limited. The half-smoked chicken is good but the accompanying 2 sides are "meh." I am also not crazy about local bbq. Service is always FAST and congenial. read more

Their burgers are just average. They taste OK and are juicy enough, just not great . There are so many options in the area to have a great burger, so I will not be coming back. Upon our last visit the dining area was a mess. It seemed as though the staff had not cleaned the tables after the lunch rush. read more

I had the Barbeque beef on a bun and the onion rings. It was average - sandwich was a bit on the juicy side, you need a lot of extra napkins. Service was fine, staff was friendly and helpful and the restaurant was clean. read more

Amazing burgers and great prices. Great staff and clean environment. The best Hi Ho in the area!

Was OK for the price and only place open besides waffle house ...friendly though....but being from NY guess our taste are much differentb

I have always loved this place since I was very young, but now the service is horrible so I spend my money elsewhere. They need to remember that a customer sitting at the bar also needs to order food. read more

Absolutely the best place in Ponchy to eat. Very chill laid back environment with cool people and good service.

Unlike the previous reviewer I wouldn't say their burgers are "amazing" but then again how good could a burger be? My burger was juicy but bland like 5 Guys (overrated). No salt, pepper or seasoning in the ground meat. The rest is just dressings, condiments and bread...right? Suffice to say it was ok. They weren't skimpy on the meat. Two thick, handmade patties on my double cheeseburger. I would've rathered shredded cheddar cheese. read more
