This place was in the Top 10 list for Michigan Bbq. I ordered the 3 meat platter. I got a Rib, Pulled Pork, and Beef Brisket. It came with 1 side and a Corn Cake. I got Pork & Beans as the side and got an extra side of Applesauce. The simple answer is all 3 meats were Great. I would eat here any time I'm in the area. The Pork & Beans were well below average. However adding some bbq sauce picked them right up and made them good. The Applesauce was exceptional. One of the top 5 I've ever had. Lastly the Corn Cake was awesome and restored my love of corn bread. Overall this was a 4 1/2 star bbq joint. Since I have to round and it wasn't perfect I'll give 4 stars. While I did love the bbq it's not as good as Slows in Grand Rapids. Top notch though. One last thing. Good job on good bbq sauces. read more

For better or worse, my review is what we tasted. And we give lots of pos reviews, especially to small biz. That we should just give pos reviews because of covid is kinda BS in my view, but just my opinion. Why have reviews at all? And yes, your BBQ is very popular. Glad to see that. Good luck to ya. read more

We had so looked forward to trying this place. Full foreclosure - hubby has been a hog farmer for over 50 years & has done his share of hog bbq's. Very disappointed. One small rib, one small wing on a very dry breast. You got a corn cake and 1 side. We picked Cole slaw. When I say 1 rib it was just ONE rib not one rack of ribs. BBQ sauce was good tho. The girl you ordered from was rude & didn't entertain the thought that we MIGHT have been first timers. She was looking at us as if we didn't know what we were doing (we actually didn't ) No return trip for us. read more

If you've ever had real BBQ, you'd know this place ain't shit. Came on a Saturday and got the 3 meat special for $9.99 (3 chicken wings, pulled pork and a piece of sausage) which was a good deal, but the wings tasted boiled and the pulled pork just wasn't it. Flavor wasn't really there and it was just eh. I tried some of a family members brisket which tasted like pot roast. You could tell it wasn't smoked or thrown on a grill. The Mac and cheese side was garbage, but the jalapeño potato salad wasn't bad at all. Never have i been served pulled pork without bbq sauce when the pork wasn't poppin off from the start. read more

Stopped on a whim, so glad we did. Excellent food. Fall off the bone ribs, available by the each as well as house made Hog Dogs and Spicy sausage links. Sells bulk packaged meats as well. House made BBQ available for purchase in bottles. Get the beans! There is chopped beef in the beAns. So delicious. read more

Located in a small on the corner shop. This place is pretty darn good. It is a go to that doesn't disappoint. Ribs and pulled pork sandwich are my go tos- and it's a consistent delicious bbq each time. Everyone is super friendly, easy going, and very helpful. Definitely recommend. read more

Check for daily specials as they rotate through the week. We did a large catering order recently that featured a little bit of everything. Favorites: ribs, sweet and spicy bbq sauce and slaw (in that order). The chicken, wings and Mac n cheese were pretty standard. I need to clarify that the rib special (not rack) features a giant single rib. Almost like a rib drumstick. This was fantastic. The rack was just ok so not sure it is from the same cut. Not bad for the Holland area. We have always gotten our food to go so it is quick and convenient. Insider tip: mix the bbq sauce with the Mac n cheese and it really enhances the flavor. read more

Hog Wild BBQ - Ribs, slaw and Mac n cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Holland, Michigan

I have been wanting to try this for a some time. Went today for lunch and ordered a brisket sandwich and mac and cheese. I prefer my brisket very lean. This wasn't bad as far as fat content. It was very juicy and had a good flavor. With the added juice I didn't even need the BBQ sauce. I thought mac and cheese side was fairly bland and a bit too mushy for my taste. The corn cake is like a disc of sweet cornbread. All in all - just ok for me. read more

What would happen if 7Eleven opened a barbecue pit? (Then staffed it with idiots) Answer: Hog Wild Barbecue. 8/6/16 8/7/17 The owner has flagged my review - he says. Ok, I was trying to be efficient with my analogy. Let's try this... Your food is horrible. The chicken wings were so dried out they were on the verge of turning to dust. The chicken in the special I got on Sunday was so dry and tough I practically needed the Heimlich. The mashed potatoes tasted like KFC. As for the staff...when I informed them of the wings being dried out she asked what I wanted instead and then tried to charge me for it!! When I told them, upon leaving, that they definitely didn't have "the best Barbecue in west mi" and the food they served us was inedible - all 3 just stared at me! Hey that's some crack service there. Cafeteria food. Bottom line. I want my money back. 8/7/17 I just got off the phone with the owner Tim - he didn't care anymore than his staff did yesterday and said I was an ass****. This is what being honest gets you. Eat at your own risk. read more

Food is great! Fantastic service! Friendly staff! Good prices! We went here for a catering tasting and got lunch and love it!

This one my new favorite place to get BBQ. The pulled pork with the sweet bbq is superb. The Texas chili is really good with just a nice touch of heat. Super friendly staff. To me this place is cheap compared to some of the BBQ restaurants out there and I like it a lot. For the low price they don't skimp on flavor or portions. I highly recommend this place if you are in need of some good BBQ. Will eat here again and again. read more

What a fun little joint! Still the same friendly staff and fast food. But when I say fast food I don't mean fake food! You can see the cooks in action during the summer time, grilling up hundreds of chickens outdoors. My recent favorite is their brisket dinner (half pound!) with Carolina sauce and jalapeño potato salad! You get a corn bread with it too! Reasonably priced for fresh food smoked daily. read more

We stopped by here on our way back from Holland, Michigan and we were happy with our choice! We ordered: Bbq ribs - these were very good with lots of bbq sauce. They are not too fall-off-the-bone, which I prefer. I liked it with their spicy bbq sauce. Pulled pork - these were a bit dry for me but were still good with the sauces on the table. Half chicken - the chicken was excellent, it had really good smoked flavor. This was my favorite item. Sausages - amazing, I couldn't get enough of them.. another favorite of mine. Mac n cheese with bacon - I wasn't a big fan, the noodles were a bit too mushy and wasn't as cheesy as I'd like it to be. Pork beans and cornbread - both were delicious. The food came out quick and portion was good. I would definitely revisit if I'm around the area! read more

The brisket was not smoked brisket. It was some kind of beef microwave in a juice that resembled Campbell Soup The ribs were pretty dry and tasted like they've been re heated a couple of times. read more

I'm quite versed and quite picky about my barbecue. I have eaten barbecue all over the world. I also know that everyone has very different tastes in barbecue so yeah tastes involved with you so I avoid reading the reviews the reviews prior to trying a new restaurant.. This barbecue was very unique, but not necessarily in a great way. I ordered a 3 meat combo on a Saturday night. I also got an additional side because I wanted to get a well rounded view of the menu. The 3 meats were brisket pulled pork and and ribs. For the sides I have the "corn cake", Mashed potatoes with gravy, and mac and cheese with bacon. The meat itself was tender but it definitely did not realiyet it definitely did not resemble brisket that I've had in many other playet many other places. The pulled pork was decent and was quite moist it moist, but was lacking in any remarkable seasoning. The ribs seemed like they were made in a slow cooker. I really couldn't describe the brisket texture until I read some of the other reviews. It definitely does resemble pot roast. I thought the mashed potatoes were decent but the gravy was bravey was poor quality. The mac and cheese was flavorless and mushy. The sauce was not tangy it was not tangy and definitely resembled ketchup more than a homemade barbecue sauce. I did have high hopes for this place but unfortunately it's just not my taste. read more

Our whole church group (69 of us) came in town to eat and we found the most delicious bbq ever!! This place is absolutely delicious, I had the meal with brisket, Mac n cheese, and corn cake. The workers were so nice and had the customer service of a friend!!! we definitely made some new friends and made one of our favorite memories on this trip. read more

Very fast and reasonably priced. You can definitely find better BBQ, but not in Holland and not for these prices. I've had nearly everything on the menu by now, and it ranges from decent to excellent read more

Very fast and friendly service. Great place to stop for a quick lunch. Try the pig out deal with a sandwich, side, and drink. I've had their food at a wedding that they catered too, it was awesome! I'd definitely go back, one of my favs. read more

I'd been hoping to try Hog Wild for a long time. It's always on my route to the beach, I love a good slow cooked BBQ, but I never seemed to make it a priority. After a family outing at Tulip Time (yes, enjoying the folksy Dutchness) we decided to find a picnic lunch for the beach. Enter take-out from Hog Wild. The very low rating I gave Hog Wild revolves around the food. I ordered the pulled pork, which for me, is the litmus test for good bbq. It tasted like it could have been thawed from a Gordon Food Service frozen pulled pork tray. I won't say that it was bad, but there was nothing special about it. It had no distinct flavor or spices, and I really couldn't pick up on any hints of smoke, which any meat from a bbq restaurant should have. It should be their signature, and it just wasn't there. I ordered the spicy bbq sauce, which had no spice. I actually couldn't distinguish it from my son's sweet bbq sauce. I didn't try the Carolina sauce, but wonder if they do a good vinegar based sauce that might redeem the bland pork. The sides were even more disappointing. They have a cold mac and cheese option for a side, which I thought was weird, but decided to try it. They weren't kidding about the cold part. There were ice crystals throughout the Styrofoam cup of pasta, again, with an incredibly bland cheese sauce mixture. It had what might have been pieces of bacon in it, but these were also cold, flavorless pieces of leather. The other side, mashed potatoes and gravy, tasted like instant or frozen mashed potatoes, and the gravy tasted canned. To top it off, the soda mixture was off, so the coke zero was way too sweet. You get the picture of my food experience. The bbq wasn't bad, but there was certainly nothing about it that was good. The reason that it didn't get one star from me was that the restaurant seemed very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was quick. It seems like a place with potential, that isn't living up to it. read more

Horrible! The worst ribs I've ever had. Went in on a Friday evening and ordered a 1/2 slab of ribs with sauce on the side. Overcooked. Dry. Flavorless. Really, the worst excuse for ribs ever. I considered speaking to someone about it, but the kids behind the counter were young and otherwise preoccupied and frankly, I felt it would likely not make any difference. Awful. read more

I had a bad experience, however if i went back again sadly i think it would be the same experience. I cook BBQ and love BBQ and try to check out different BBQ joints in the cities i travel to. Today I tried Ribs, Brisket, Pork&Beans, Mashed Potatoes, and Corn bread. Ribs - terrible - so dry and tough it was like jerky. To hide the dryness they were drenched in sauce. zero smoke flavor Brisket - tasted like roast beef not brisket. It falls apart, but is chewy like it has been boiling. No beautiful bark that good BBQ should have. It was sliced just sitting in a hot pan...not the way brisket should be. Pork & Beans...really thick with a very bland flavor Mashed potatoes - very thick and dry and cold...gravy was not homemade. Cornbread - this was the best thing i had of everything i tried. It was more like a corn cake than a bread due to its lightness and sweetness but it was good and cleansed my pallet. read more

This BBQ is poor at best. The ribs were tough and dry, they were so far from fall off the bone that I had to use a sharp knife to actually eat them. The pulled pork my wife got was slightly more appealing if it wasn't for the oddly flavored sauce. And the WORST part is the Mac and Cheese... if you like Mac, don't dare trying theirs... if you can get past the under-cooked pasta then you're sure to suffer on the partially congealed bacon like meat that is mixed in. Please avoid eating here or you'll be as disappointed as I was. read more

I've not been to the actual restaurant, but we did eat at their weekly 'cookout' in the parking lot of the Ottawa Beach Inn. The menu here was very limited, but very good. I was a bit disappointed in the prices ($10 per person), the limited menu (basically, chicken or ribs), and the absence of any warm sides. Also, the BBQ sauce that they use really didn't stand out - very plain. I might go back and try their actual restaurant location, but I'd likely not revisit the Sunday cookout. read more

Sean has it right. BBQ is definitely a regional thing and Holland, MI isn't actually a good region for good, homemade BBQ. Supposedly, though, the owner of this place is from Memphis or somewhere so he has A LITTLE sauce in his blood. I had the Pulled Pork sandwich with the Carolina sauce and it was pretty good. Next time I go there, I will have to try a different sauce. I had the corn bread as a side and it was pretty mediocre. Not homemade and served out of a steamer to keep it warm. It was pretty plain with no green peppers or anything to give it much flavor. Not the worst BBQ I've had, but not very authentic either. read more

Got to try Hog Wild BBQ while I was in town on a little vacation. I had the 2 meat combo which was quite the deal for about 9 bucks. Pulled pork, brisket, potato salad, and corn bread. I have to say that the brisket was the shining star of that meal. It was seriously good!! I'm a bit of a pulled pork snob and the pork here didn't compare my favorite back in the D, but the brisket won me over. Their sweet sauce and the potato salad was also good. So go... get carry out... order lots of brisket... feel free to thank me later. read more

Just had our first visit and we'll be returning for sure! The brisket and hot links were delicious. The ribs were a little shocking...as they were SO meaty. Think meat lollipop! We enjoyed it so much, it had us thinking of getting another order to go even though we were full. The sides were good, but the corn bread could be better. Can't wait for our next trip read more

Hands down best BBQ I have ever had. Josh helped us decide cause we had never been here before. I got the pulled pork with sweet BBQ and a side of hog wild pasta. Wow blew my socks off. My husband got the beef brisket sandwich and an order of wings. This place tastes like the best home cooking you have ever had. Staff was super helpful and explained The menu for us. So inexpensive for such a wonderful flavor. Our new date night place! Please open in Grand Haven we need you! :) read more

Had the chicken. Used to get their chicken on Sundays when they grilled in the parking lot of a local restaurant and it was excellent. Both of our servings this trip were dry to the point of inedible. Must have been grilled days before. This was the second and last trip to this place. read more

Overpriced, unimpressive. 1/2 chicken was good but they ran out before dinner rush. Mac n Cheese is soft and mushy like baby food as other reviews mention. Hotlink was average at best. Friend got chicken sandwich and got food poisoning in return. Sauces are alright. Would not recommend. Comments about this being a 7/11 of bbq are spot on for anyone who's eaten anywhere else. Stick with daddios bbq read more

I had been wanting to try this for a long time.. , as I live just under 2 miles away...and Friday (May 2, 2014) I had a incredible craving for BBQ. So I stopped in for some take out. They do have BBQ! Chicken, Sausage, Pulled Pork, Baby Back Ribs, Ribs and Brisket. Sandwiches and Dinners. I finally decided on the 1/2 Slab of Baby Back Ribs, with mashed potatoes and gravy and the corn cake. It was only $8.99 Good price, and was very yummy.. and generous. I had enough for 2 meals. It was very worth the $$, was just about as quick as driving through a fast food lane, and it was enough for 2. A co-worker of mine that was working in town recommends the Brisket Sandwich. Maybe try that next time. I recommend it.. and will be back again soon. read more

Tried the Hog yesterday for the first time. My boyfriend is a BBQ lover. It was very good and the price was very good. He had a special where you select 2 meats. It comes with a side and a corn cake. He picked pulled pork and ribs. He loved the pulled pork. He raved and complimented it through the whole meal. He wants to go back. I had the special pulled chicken sandwich and a side for 5.99. Very good chicken. I had cole slaw which was purple cabbage based it was just ok. He had Mac and cheese. He said it was ok but not as great as ours. We make ours baked. He loved the corn cake. The interior was very clean, the staff was friendly. Are def going back read more

The worst customer service I have ever experienced, they got my order incorrect and when I called to try to get it corrected the owner yelled at me because they were busy and hung up the phone. After calling back several times the owner finally answered and made it clear that he didn't care at all and called me a bitch. I just wanted the food I ordered but now I have zero desire to eat anything from that place. read more

This place has the best BBQ in West Michigan- Hands down! They do an incredible job. Every time I go in, the meat is always perfectly cooked. I also really love the sides. The cornbread is freaking amazing! To be honest, I've had everything on the menu and all of it is great! You just can't go wrong. read more

Wow worst bbq I ever ate got the 2 meat dinner ribs and brisket. When I opened the container there was one end bone and what they called brisket looked and tasted more like beef roast. Thought maybe it was my meal was there with a friend when he offered me a couple of his rib bones the sauce was burnt and the meat was dry and over cooked Overall worst experience I had in a while read more

Possibly the most underwhelming "barbecue" I've ever had. I use the quotes because I am fairly convinced the meat isn't even smoked. My fiance and I tried the pulled pork, brisket, rib, and chicken. Every single item was dry and bland. And no sign of the telltale smoke ring in sight. For a side, I had the Mac and cheese, which somehow managed to taste like it didn't have any cheese in it. My overall impression was that it reminded me of bland cafeteria food from a hospital or other such soulless institution. Making matters worse, the girl working the counter was incredibly rude. I can overlook mediocre food if the service is good/friendly, but it was sadly lose/lose in this case. read more

This was our first visit and we studied the menu for options and made our choices. The misses picked her favorite, barbecue chicken. She was particularly impressed with the taste of the chicken, and found it satisfactory without sauce. Her potato salad was also good. My beef brisket, while tasty, was greasier than I expected. It combined well with a great Carolina vinegar and mustard sauce and complimented the Carolina cole slaw. A good meal, but not five-star spectacular. We'll try again on a day when specials appear as the meals are a bit pricy for the portions and the number of sides. We particularly liked the chicken, and watched some grilled out front in the same way we learned as youngsters in Georgia. read more

Great local BBQ in Holland, MI. Had the pulled pork nachos (on Frito style corn chips) got it with their spicy BBQ totally pleased. Spicy Texas chili which was really good but a little soupy for me. Easily fixed with some of their crackers. To finish it off Warm bread pudding. Really good nice consistency with strong cinnamon flavor that pairs well with the carmel sauce (get it warm!). It's no frills but plenty of inside and outside seating. Worth the trip to the north side for this place. read more
