Restaurant and bar
Chunjai C.

It's just not summer without bbq. I was visiting and looking for a place in Winchester and found Hog it Up. It's a Texas style bbq and bar where they make everything themselves except for the pickles according to the owner Mike. I ordered the brisket sandwich with fries and tried all 3 bbq sauces. Sooo good! The brisket was tender and flavorful. The baby back bbq sauce was my favorite, just a classic flavor. South Carolina bbq was delicious as well. The bourbon style was a bit syrupy and sweet for me but still had a nice flavor. The decor was Texas eclectic and the music playing was classic country which created an inviting space with an authentic atmosphere. There was a television screen at the bar. The seating was comfortable though the high tables at the front window were a bit small to fit all the food. There are bigger tables on the other side near the counter. The owner was friendly and shared how he renovated the place himself over 10 months working every day, raised and replaced the ceiling, redid plumbing and electric and decorated it himself. He also has a Food truck business. I also tried the banana pudding. Yum! You get Free refills on drinks. Next time I want to try the Texas Twinkie, pickle weed salad and homemade potato salad and sweet tea

Delicious Texas bbq!!! If you are in town you must try it. Brisket was flavorful. Ribs had a perfect seasoning on them.

Chicken stripes with fries

Pro: delivery app. Con: food Was at work and my friend wanted to order some food through her door dash app so while scrolling around I happen to stumble across this establishment with quite a few positive reviews. We ordered the brisket, Mac N cheese, and chicken strips with fries. The brisket was just a tad dry but it very tender and broke apart easily. The Mac N cheese was decent but it didn't have a powerful cheesy flavor. The chicken strips were just ok and the fries were very soggy, lack flavor overall, and just sad. Even McDonald fries are better than these fries. All in all, the food experience was ok but nothing to write home about. In the future I don't think I will be ordering here again any time soon.

Heaven.

Not from Texas so I won't enter the Texas BBQ debate. What I do know is chicken wings. These wings are incredible!! Smoked and then deep fried for a crisp skin. These are not Buffalo wings nor do they claim to be. They are good old fashioned smoked wings with a good rub and awesome flavor. Want more? Dip them in some sauce to really make them pop. I would have to say these are the best wings in Virginia. I would say the best wings I have had but I have to revisit a spot in Pennsylvania to confirm it. So let's just say these are damn good wings. Want another culinary adventure? Try the Texas Twinkie. Trust me.

If you're ever in Winchester, Virginia- this is the place to try. One word? Brisket. You won't regret it. Their wings? Also banging.

A must-try local BBQ joint! My wife and I finally tried this place and we're so glad we did. It's a cozy friendly atmosphere with great service. The employees were so kind and welcoming. I had the delicious smoked wings and will most definitely be back to try out more of their options.

Receipt

What a racket. He doesn't want tipping. Instead He charges a Fair Labor and Wage Fee of 18%. He says this is for us not tipping. Who would I have tipped anyway? I order and pay for my food and beer at the counter and I picked up my beer at the counter. No one was coming to the table to wait on us. He charged for a credit card which I didn't use and then gave a cash discount that was less than the credit card fee. Take a look at this receipt.

Dry brisket
Vera V.

Texas native here. Excited to try because they said they had Texas BBQ. We tried it last week. Ribs were dry and tasted odd. Chicken was tasty. Pulled pork didn't have seasoning. The brisket was great, though! We tried it again today, but only the brisket. It was THE worst and driest brisket I've ever had. We strongly believe it was yesterday's brisket. You can see from the photo. I can't believe they served this and thought it was okay. Especially for the price. Will NOT be returning.

Settled for a breakfast burrito. Was shocked with how heavy it felt like when it came out. And the price was pretty reasonable compared to other places in this area. Service was very hospitable and checked on us often.

I knew what I wanted so it was a matter of choosing which burger. I went with the mushroom Swiss. A favorite for me. While I waited one to go order was picked up, another couple came in, one guest to the other "Everything on the menu is great". I waited about 10 minutes in the quiet small seating area inside. Once my food was ready I walked out took a couple pictures and had "a" bite... yes it was a premade patty but it was cooked perfectly, a little pink in the middle, very juicy and nicely seasoned. The bun light buttered and toasted with a smear of mayo. Sure it would be great to have fresh mushrooms but these were good, not soft and chewy. The cheese had a nice tang and it was stretchy gooey. The fries are shoe string, a light crunch and light salted. I much prefer a small fry over steak fries or Jo Jo style potatoes. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. Would I drive to and from my entire lunch break to eat here again? Yes, I would. I want to try more of the menu or another delicious burger.

Bakery so good, I'm writing a review when I live 2,200 miles away. Truly world class baked goods…read moreprepared daily/ hourly and just drool worthy. I went in for the club sandwich and came back the next day to sample more. Their French onion pizza out of this world. AND Red velvet peasant bread, also an absolute jaw dropper. Cookies and croissants so fresh they made the whole travel home which my husband echoed my sentiments. Ambient back patio and the hallway leading to gives you a great glimpse into the baking behind the scene. Wonderful staff and service and they seem to know their regulars. Wishing I lived closer. Still daydreaming about the food. YUM!

Their selection was slanted towards non-vegetarian items such that only a couple of their pizza slices were an option for me, and did not have quite as diverse a set of sweets as I'd hoped for. Having said that, the quality was there, so I took a shot on a large focaccia pizza slice with multiple peppers. It was very bready but bubbled nicely and I was able to make a good small meal out of a single slice. The sourdough bread that I got was available sliced, and was mild but satisfying in flavor and texture. It was a pleasant shop to eat in and had an outdoor courtyard. Even though the menu was not exactly what I wanted it to be, there was enough that I could see returning.

The inside gives an older coffee shop vibe and very family owned. The owner is incredibly kind and recognizes everyone that stops by. They have regular and everything bagels and you can get a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, bacon or sausage. The portion is huge and it's delicious. The everything bagel is full of flavor and super fluffy but also a layer of crisp. I had the pizza bagel both mornings we came and it was phenomenal. I still think about it and can't wait to come back. The portion is perfect and it also comes on an everything bagel. They also have a lox bagel and you can get bagels to go. The inside is darling with a large area in the back. Amazing place!
