    Prime rib and cowboy beans
    Alison K.

    When you pull in the parking lot and the place is packed to the gills...that says two important things to me-- good food and decent prices. The sign out front advertises Thursday night special is a prime rib dinner. Hmmm. I wonder how much a piece of prime rib will cost here? Prime rib elsewhere runs about $26 or more, depending on the sides you get with it. So I go in and wait while they're clearing some tables, but this nice tall fellow asks me if I'm also waiting for a table and I reply with a smile and a yes. He asks how many? I hold up my index finger and he smiles and asks if I'd like to be seated outside on the porch--it's a nice evening, not hot--it's screened in and there's no bugs, so I knod approvingly and grab myself a small table with just the two seats. Also seated outside happened to be a lovely older couple who asked this fellow about their reservations coming up to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. I was unaware you could reserve the back porch for special events along with the "back yard" that's littered with the odd seating from rocking chairs to picnic benches, games of all kinds and even a quasi fire pit. Looks like they're going to have a great time with their family--some of whom are flying in from as far as Oregon. The interior is almost like walking into a Cracker Barrel but not as crowded--gifts, canned goods, pickled things, candy and lip balm. Cute cards and bottled wine. Everything intriguing and eye-catchingly clean and dust free. I've found that annoys me when items are left to gather dust and I think to myself "is it extra for the accumulation of dust on top?". I go ahead and decide to try their prime rib special, but forego the baked potato because there's no way I could eat all those carbohydrates...I get a small side salad and a small serving of "cowboy" beans, which are probably pinto beans . I also order their "cowboy" egg rolls and figure I'll eat a little and take the rest home. My salad comes to me and it's nothing fancy, but fresh and crisp. Then my egg rolls. Dipped in some ranch, they're really good. Coleslaw, briskety goodness. Not far into my first 1/2 of an egg roll, out comes my prime rib and it looks GORGEOUS! So glad I decided against getting a huge baked potato, because I ended up pouring the beans on the same plate, where they took a nice swim in the accompanying au jus. I've had lots of prime rib before. Always cooked in an oven and with tons of herbs on the outside. This is one I'd never had before in my whole life. Smoked prime rib. What a flavor difference! Usually, what's on the outside and the au jus and/or horseradish adds some flavor to a prime rib. Smokiness never enters that picture. It's a whole other taste/flavor sensation you're not expecting and are surprised when this tender piece of meat hits your tongue! So good! Will I go back? You betcha! $19.99 for a huge chunky slice of smoked prime rib and two sides? Heck yeah! There's a special most days, I heard. I'm going to hafta check out the rest of the days! Good service, good food and fabulous prices--NOW I know why they were packed!

    This is a hidden gem well worth seeking out. The location is not along a beach or in a swanky neighborhood but it offers food and a relaxed setting just as good. We come here when we're looking for a nice motorcycle ride snd good food as a result. This time I had their cowboy egg rolls, a unique combination of beef brisket inside a traditional eggroll wrapper with slaw inside. They were amazing dipped into sweet barbecue sauce. I paired them with corn nuggets and macaroni and cheese. The nuggets were sweet and hot. The macaroni and cheese came with large noodles smothered in creamy cheese. My husband opted to try the swai sandwich. The fish was well cooked and hot but the sandwich was plain and could have used some lettuce and tomato. We topped both meals off with a tasty bowl of mint chocolate ice cream. That made the ride home even better! Good service, cold beer, and multiple wine options make this little place an amazing stop.

    We stopped today on our way back home from Ocala and we're very pleasantly surprised! The staff was great and very welcoming, the owner even made a point of making sure we had the best table for my husband who is in a wheelchair. The food was awesome and made fresh to order. Also the quirky Style of the decor was fun to look around it was a fun mix of everything from TV and movie stuff to country stuff. It was a really fun meal and we will definitely stop again next time we're in the area!

    What a place! Hidden gem. Food is amazing and if it wasn't outside the metropolitan areas, you'll have to pay a lot for this type of quality meat and everything they have overall. Local wine selection with affordable bottle prices. That being said, if I could, I'd give them 10 stars, mainly because of their great staff, service, and the type of hospitality is hard to find nowadays. I will take this place any given day over top rated city steakhouse.

    BBQ and celebrating a Birthday.  We ate on the back porch with direct access to the fenced in back area.

    My family of four loves going to Hog Wild Country Cafe for their Great food, great service, southern hospitality experience. Definitely recommend. Our oldest requested for his birthday dinner to be here and it was great!

    This review is for their smaller location called hog, wild burgers, and shakes. If you find yourself in the area, you absolutely must stop by this little joint. So good! Fresh burger the bun was delicious. The meat was juicy. I had the bacon burger that I forgot to take a picture of before I started eating. Sorry about that. It was so good. My husband had a spicy version and he loved it. He was sweating for 30 minutes.the fries came out piping hot and their ice cream was also delicious. Just you won't regret it.

    We went yesterday for the first time. Loved it!!! It is a great country BBQ place with indoor and outside seating. Melissa took great care of us. She advised us on what to get. We started with the Cowboy Eggrolls. They were great. I would order a few of them and make a meal out of it with their ranch dipping sauce. Our son had the Prime Rib Sandwich with Fries. He loved it. Said, it was the best sandwich - EVER! We shared the 3 Meat Sampler w/Beef Brisket, Smoked Sausage & Smoked Turkey. Sides - Mac + Cheese, Onion Rings. Great stick to your ribs food!!! We used their BBQ and Mustard Sauces along with the Ranch Sauce. Really good. Don't want to forget about the house made Sweet Tea. Then to top it off we had the Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake. WOW!!! FANTASTIC!!! What a great dinner! Next time we will try the Ribs. We will definitely be back. Great Job, Melissa!!! This is one of those places where everything is so good that you don't know what to order.

    Pulled pork sandwich and potato salad

    Stopped here on way back from Ocala and had very few expectations. They were already sold out of brisket, corn and Mac and cheese. I got the pulled pork sandwich and potato salad. It did not disappoint. Cute little store inside. I'll be stopping back again for sure.

    I came here to meet a friend for lunch/breakfast. If you come here at peak times, parking can be a…read morebit problematic and if you're not a whiz when parallel parking...you may have to circle the block a few times. The exterior is clean and simple. When you walk in, it's clean, simple, and a bit Chip and Joanna-esque, which I love. I was quickly greeted and told I could sit anywhere. I was given a menu and their drink menu. After being off coffee for a week, I saw that they make their own coffee syrups, so I got an iced decaf almond milk latte with their salted caramel syrup. While I waited, I looked over the menu. I really wanted to try the french toast or the waffle, but opted for the bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and cup of their cheese grits. The latte came out quickly and tasted exquisite. Sometimes you get decaf and it tastes watery, but not this latte. My friend ordered a salad with grilled chicken on top. Everythign came out quickly. The first thing I noticed were the cheese grits. They were delicious. Rich, creamy, and flavorful. Get them. The bacon egg and cheese on a croissant was also really good. They sell coffee at their shop to bring home.

It was just after noon on a Friday when we arrived and there was a 10-minute wait for a table. Upon being seated, we were presented the menu. We both considered ordering the Reuben Sandwich but I opted instead for the Club Sandwich on Ciabatta (as recommended by our server) and a side of Seafood Chowder. We both just ordered water with a slice of lemon to drink. Our server eventually came back with my wife's Reuben sandwich served with a bag of chips and she also had my cup of chowder, commenting how the club sandwich will be served shortly. My wife liked her Reuben, with tender meat and sharp sauerkraut. She also liked how the rye bread held up to the strong flavors. My chowder was equally good but it wasn't served with crackers. We waited a while for our server to return so I could ask for some crackers but she went ghost on us. Finally, more than 10 minutes after my wife was served her sandwich, a gentleman, who we can only assume was the manager, came over to ask if I've been served my club sandwich. Of course I pointed to a clean table to indicate no sighting of my sandwich and I also asked for some crackers. A few minutes later, the same man came back with some crackers and apologized for a mix up in the back. That's when I told them to forget the club sandwich so we can be on our way. To the manager's credit, he had the club sandwich boxed up and gave it to me free of charge. He was very apologetic. I was still a bit miffed and thought about leaving the sandwich there but my wife convinced me otherwise. Needless to say, service wasn't at the forefront during that dining experience. Despite the service mix up, however, I was still inclined to give this place 4 stars for the taste and quality of the food. The staff can have some inconsistencies and I tend to believe that's not the norm for this establishment which has earned high marks on Yelp.
