Hog and Hominy is an absolute gem, would not have expected for their pizza to be made so perfectly. Sometimes it's a hit or miss with wood fired pizza joints, either the crust is over burnt or is too hard. But Hog and Hominy got it down with perfectly cooked pizza and the crust was soft and tasty, as I would expect from wood fired pizza. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The roasted oysters were delicious, though I think it's overpriced for the amount you get. The garlic knots were also good, just a little greasy. Highly recommend the Thunderbird pizza, it was a table favorite. read more

My husband & I absolutely love coming to Hog & Hominy. He is a big fan of the Red Eye pizza & I have a sweet spot on my heart for the ever so flavorful wedge salad. Best wedge in Memphis, in my opinion. Even better than the dishes we ordered, our wonderful & funny server, Alex, made our brunch date splendid. She was knowledgeable of the brunch options, she suggested I get the espresso martini & I could not have been happier. She was incredibly attentive & never hovered. I will continue to come back in hopes I can be served by Alex once again. read more

Hog & Hominy - Wedge salad - Italian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

We had a wonderful dining experience at H&H. This place serves upscaled southern dish that is fused with Italian styled cuisine. We had the pig ears and fried oysters for appetizers, they were delicious and definitely opened up our appetite for the main course. The oysters are very expensive though, $25 for 5 pieces, so I'm not sure if the price justifies the quantity. I got the trout with shrimp bisque. Absolutely killer of a dish. The shrimp bisque had a strong hint of the sea. Great aroma and one of the best sea food dishes I've had in a while. For dessert, we got the peanut butter pie with vanilla ice cream. The ice cream is a little icy and has a refreshing texture to it. If you like peanut butter, then you can't go wrong with the pie either. Parking can be difficult. Their parking lot is pretty small and this restaurant can get busy. Street parking is your best bet, but can also be a bit hard to find during prime dinner time. read more

Hog & Hominy - Crab Claws - Italian Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Food was mediocre and overpriced. We went for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. Hog and Hominy presents themselves as high-end dining, and the staff act it, with a few exceptions. The hostess was very underdressed, she looked like another customer and while our waitress was very good for the most part, she used her bare hands to pick up crumbs on the table instead of using a cleaning cloth. The furniture is nice, and the interior is very aesthetically pleasing, but they had an eclectic mix of pop and alternative music blasting for our whole meal. For the food: we ordered the oysters, the poutine, the meatballs, a Thunderbird pizza and a Red Eye pizza. The oysters were $5 an oyster, they were the smallest oysters you can get, and they were drenched in chili oil. We recently had oysters more than 3x the size priced the same and had better flavor. The poutine (neither a French nor a southern dish?) tasted only of black pepper. The fries were very good without the gravy though. The meatballs were not very flavorful, had a grainy texture, and we only got 3 exceedingly small meatballs for $16. The sauce was nothing to write home about and very acidic. The thunderbird was the best item we tried, it was tasty, but it was maybe a 10" pie that they charge $23 for! Virtually the same pizza, 2 inches bigger can be found at another popular restaurant for $14. The RedEye was only redeemed by the pork belly. The sauce tasted sour, so we picked the meat off and just ate that. We will not be back, we did appreciate how attentive the waitress was, she frequently checked in on us and was very polite, aside from using her bare hands to pick up crumbs. read more

Love the food at Hog & Hominy! Especially enjoy sitting at the bar with drinks and their amazing pizzas and other menu items. Staff is attentive and efficient. Bartenders mix amazing drinks! We love the desert choices. Be sure to check their web site for menus, since they are always changing (don't rely on Yelp menu pics)! I recommend that you use their valets for parking if you find that the on-street parking is hard to find. read more

Maybe it was on off day for the service and the oysters. Came on a busy day and sat at the bar, took a few minutes to even be acknowledged. It was busy, but half the bar was empty. We started with the roasted oysters, and that was a mistake. The oysters were tiny, especially for $25 for 5 of them. Then we ordered the Thunderbird pizza, and it took a bit to come out, but it was really good. It's probably the only good thing of the entire visit. read more

Parking is a nightmare. The wait was ridiculous and the only offer was patio seating with the outside temperature below 30 degrees.

Great food, ambiance and service. I loved the meatballs we had as an appetizer. The pizza was delicious too!

SO loud, staff seems moderately interested in offering customer service, not the date night we hoped for.

Tried the pig ears for the first time and they are good but spicy!! The caprese is okay just a lot of tomatoes. I love the Thunderbird pizza - it's my go to! read more

Service- staff was friendly and professional. Our waitress was friendly and got everything correct. Ambiance- a very cute and quaint restaurant. It's not huge but it's laid out to where it doesn't feel too crowded even though tables along the wall are close to each other. Drinks- drinks were yummy. Highly recommend the espresso martini which is not on the regular cocktail menu, but it is on the dessert menu. It's a $16 price tag which I felt was a bit much since it cost the same as my entree. Didn't see the price until after I ordered 2 and they brought out the dessert menu lol. The Brown Derby was really good too. Food- biscuit board was good. Nice and fluffy biscuits- perfect. Ordered as a starter but came out with the main course. The jam and butter were great, the butter with the chives tasted like tartar sauce but I'm sure there's someone out there who likes it. BBQ shrimp was excellent. Great taste, value, and portion size. Comes with grits and the sauce was really good. Steak & eggs leaves much to desire and is responsible for the negative star. At $32 it is the tiniest steak. Spend about $10 more at Stoney River down the street and get one 3x it's size. It was also on the chewy side even though we ordered it medium. I do not recommend ordering this. Go to Kroger and make your own steak and eggs. Other observations- parking sucks just as with all restaurants on this side of Brookhaven. Patio was covered but opens up. There were fans and heaters so it seems it would be perfect in any weather. read more

I'm not really sure how I feel about this. Our server was as nice as she can be. Somehow they messed up our order and had to redo the whole thing. So people that sat after us got their food. I had the pizza the hut and my husband got the burger with upgraded poutine fries. Idk if it's supposed to be like this but my pizza was so saucy that the toppings keep sliding off and the crust was pretty soggy. The poutine fries were super salty. The burger was mediocre. The bun wasn't that great. Maybe we just didn't have a good experience. But I'm not really sure how I feel about this. Oh parking was a nightmare as well. read more

One of our favorites! Bar, service, pizzas... all excellent. Love sitting on the patio year round

We ate brunch here on Easter Sunday on the patio! Our waiter was super nice and attentive. The food was very good as well! I will definitely be back. read more

Hog and Hominy is always a go to whenever we are in town! We love the atmosphere, drinks and food. Last time we went the cocktail menu was not my favorite but the espresso martini hit the spot for dessert drinks! I would stick with a glass of wine over their seasonal cocktails if you go! read more

I've been eagerly awaiting Hog & Hominy's reopening since the devastating fire ravaged the original building in 2020. Thankfully, the restaurant is back and better than ever. As a burger fan, the restaurant's popular John T. Burger has been on my burger bucket list for years. Previously, the burger was only available during lunch hours, so I had never had the opportunity to try it. During this visit, I was ecstatic to see the coveted burger on the dinner menu. The burger exceeded my expectations. It was larger than photos made it appear. The sizable patty was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The quality of the beef was top-notch. It was one of the most flavorful I've had in recent memory. The American cheese was spilling over the edges and added a rich creaminess to each bite. The burger's toppings included pickled shredded lettuce, onions and yellow mustard. Although I liked the tanginess added by the pickled lettuce and mustard, I found that both -- especially the mustard -- overpowered the flavor of the meat. And the stringy shredded lettuce made the burger a little messier than it needed to be. Next time, I'll probably stick with just cheese. The meat doesn't need the assistance of extra toppings. The soft and fluffy sesame seed bun did a decent job holding everything together. The accompanying fries were also delicious. They were crispy and just salty enough. The sides of fry sauce and ketchup elevated the fries to an even tastier level. Given that I had missed out on the burger in previous visits, I was more familiar with Hog & Hominy's pizza. I of course had to try a slice of my friend's Margherita pizza. It was just as tasty as I remember it. The lightly charred crust was the standout feature of the pie, although its thin construction was no match for the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. The fresh basil added the hallmark earthy notes. Although my appetite was dwindling after the burger, fries and slice of pizza, I couldn't pass up the peanut butter pie that my friend raved about. And it too lived up to the hype. It was one of if not the best peanut butter pie slices I've had in my life. And as a PB fan, I've had a lot. Where to begin? The peanut butter flavor was of course the star of the show, but the notes of vanilla (from the vanilla pudding) and banana were also very present. The graham cracker crust added a familiar crunch, and the peanut brittle sprinkled on top added another layer of nutty flavor notes. While I didn't think I had room for dessert, I'm so glad I rallied. I was a little worried that the new Hog & Hominy might not have the same charm as the original. While of course the building is new with more upscale decor, the atmosphere and service is just the same. I'm so glad it's back, and I look forward to many more visits. read more

Hog & Hominy has an elegant and modern atmosphere. The service was excellent from being greeted upon entry to the wait staff. The menu was very diverse from fish dip ( which was yummy) to fried chicken also delicious. They offer a very nice wine list also. The food was prepared perfectly and very flavorful. I did not care for the parking that's my only downside. I intend on trying this restaurant again soon. read more

Great brunch! Even though we messed up our reservation, the hostess was very accommodating and we were still able to brunch! Amongst 5 of us, we shared the brûlée grapefruit and the biscuits starter. The biscuits were amazing with the fresh jam and honey butter. For my meal, I went for the frittata and added mushrooms - drool worthy. A couple of my friends had drinks, mimosa and Bloody Mary, and they would recommend. Overall great experience and delicious food. read more

We tried the new pancake dish with toffee syrup and Nutella butter 2 weeks ago at brunch with Santa. Kept thinking about how good it was, so we went back today again for it. We were told after the order was placed that the original pancakes with maple syrup is the only option available, but our awesome waitress Payton and the kitchen staff made our day by adding the toffee syrup/crunchies/nutella butter on the side for us! PLEASE keep the toffee syrup pancakes on your menu-it's different from other restaurants and SO delicious! read more

This place is one of my favorites! Amazing food and drink, with the staff and service to match, along with an atmosphere that is very inviting and just fantastic. Whether you decide to sit at the bar, outside on the patio, or inside, it is downright difficult to not have an enjoyable experience here. We have been here probably around 5 or 6 times in the past year, and each time here was memorable and pleasant to say the least. You'll be missing out if you don't end up trying one of their pizza options during your visit! One of the best things to write home about is their vast array of delicious choices, in both the food and the drink options. We have sampled something new each visit, and we never left disappointed. read more

Came here for dinner by a recommendation from a local. This place is the best! Ambiance and food and service is all on point. Ordered the honey gem salad (amazing, don't let the kale scare you off!), margherita pizza and the Fungus Ammongus pizza. Both were amazing! The peanut butter pie was fire!! Definitely stop here! :) read more

Had a great first experience here last night with the family. It was very busy with holiday hustle but the servers and bartenders worked hard to ensure we had a good meal. Everything was delicious and I really appreciated the unique ingredients in the drinks and food. I didn't feel like it was just a dressed up, over-priced place you could find everywhere but saw the craft in the offerings. My favorite part (surprisingly) was the Brussels, which were incredible and some of the best I've ever had. Definitely think this place is worth a visit if you find yourself in Memphis like me! read more

I've been wanting to try Hog & Hominy for a while and last night I finally made it happen. First, they offer complementary valet which was needed since the place was packed. I didn't have a reservation but there were a few openings in the lounge section of the bar so I was seated upon arrival. The Ain't Duckin No Smoke mocktail started me off. It's refreshing with a slightly smoky kick to it - a creation that can actually hold its own next to a cocktail and doesn't just taste like you're drinking juice! It was an excellent choice, so I hope they add a few more options like this. For a light meal I ordered the crab claws with a side of focaccia bread from their Snacks menu, which was delicious! Buttery, garlicky, lemony and plenty of claws for a party of one or as a shared app if ordering an entree as well. I finished with the espresso martini for dessert and that was the only item I wouldn't recommend. It was tasty to be sure, but it comes in a small coupe glass with nearly half of the drink being foam so it wasn't worth the $16 price point. Aesthetically though, it was beautiful. Finally, the service was awesome! My server was pleasant, attentive and gave insight on the menu (I believe her name was Natalie?) and the valet drivers were warm as well. I look forward to returning to check out their entrees next time. read more

I circled the areas about 4x in an attempt to locate a parking spot. Be aware that the surrounding businesses have tow signs posted so pay attention. I was finally able to snag a spot along the street. Today's book club outing was held here so we had a party of 9. We started out with mimosas. I opted to have cranberry vs the orange juice. They have a $5 special during brunch. Due to an issuen with the others in our party who ordered double mimosa, they comped the entire table a 2nd class. This was a nice gesture in correcting an issue. We did notice that the menu items have chnaged since our last visit pre-renovations. I chose the H&H breakfast and added on a hash brown and biscuit.. let me say that the apple butter is so delicious. Nice size portion for the price. read more

My husband and I stopped by after church for a quick brunch. We ordered the crab cake Benedict (YUM) and the spicy chicken biscuit. I had seen a bad review of the biscuit that almost kept me from ordering, but I'm so glad I ordered anyways! The combo of the grits, eggs, and the amazingly spiced chicken on the biscuit blew my mind. I don't even like eggs and grits that much, but I definitely made a happy plate. Also, ordered my first H&H Bloody Mary, and now I'm HOOKED. By far my favorite Bloody Mary in Memphis. We loooove Hog & Hominy! read more

We have been here probably 20 times... mostly before they reopened. The last few visits have been disappointing. The food is extremely salty. We have ordered multiple different things and been overwhelmed by the saltiness. Tonight we dropped by early for the burgers. The fries were great! Not too salty but the burgers were so salty! The previous visit, we had a couple of plates and a pizza. Too salty. I love the idea of this place, the owners are great.. but man they have an oversalting problem that needs to be corrected. Service is great.. atmosphere is good... cocktails and wine list are very creative. Food... bleh. Too salty read more

Wanted to try after the fire. Definitely an upgrade from the original place. Waiter was great - no pressure and very tentative.

SO LOUD YOU WILL WANT TO KILL YOURSELF First time visiting this new building for Hog and Hominy. The old one burned and they rebuilt at the same address. Had been to the old one once but never returned because it was so loud. Somehow they managed to rebuild even louder (all hard surfaces everywhere) so it is now just a painful endurance contest while you wait for average food with below average service. I am not exaggerating to say that if anyone is anything but directly across from you and leaning forward, you will be yelling. Twice our server even asked for the order to be repeated because she couldn't hear us order. Drinks were ordered and took forever to come. I was even told in advance this might happen because the bar is always so busy. Then came appetizers. First was the Crab Claws. So small there was virtually no crab meat to them. Kind of felt like eating cloves of garlic swimming in oil. Then came Poutine Fries. These were quite good and perfectly prepared. About now our drinks finally came, or at least some of them as a few didn't come until main courses. For our main course my wife and I split the Quattro Formaggi pizza. Crust was overdone and cheese had begun to dry out. In a better restaurant we would have sent it back for a better one, but we didn't have another hour plus to wait for a second on. Waited and waited for checks, then waited for checks to be corrected. What a loud mess this place is. read more

I was blown away when I first arrived at Hog & Hominy. This was my first visit since they reopened and the new restaurant is so nice!!! There was outdoor seating available, a very nice bar and the restaurant was bright and open. We were a party of 9 and seated at a round table in the center. I decided to go for a mimosa (double). Unfortunately, the double pour was the exact same size as the single. One of the young ladies brought it to the server's attention, and the bartender took care of it without hesitation. (thank you!) I ordered the gluten-free pancakes which came with bacon. I really enjoyed it! The service was great and the restrooms were clean when I stopped by. I will be visiting again soon to enjoy their patio since the weather has been so nice lately. It's so good to see that H&H has bounced back in a massive way! read more
