I loved this place and this location when I lived in Wichita for 20 years. I moved to Vegas for a dozen years and then to KC. So, I've had a lot of other BBQ since. Hog Wild doesn't really hold up. The BBQ beans were really sweet. The coleslaw was wilted, the pulled pork was a wee bit dry, but good. The brisket was pretty dry too. The flavor was good. The star of the show was the hot links, which are still the best I've ever had. Next time I'm in town, I'll swing by here and get a few hot links and then everything else @ Station 8. read more

What I call self service Bar-B-Q. You order at the counter and you get your own drink and silverware and pick up at the counter. The pulled pork and turkey were great. The cole slaw was excellent. The Bar-B-Q beans looked great but were stone cold and not edible. The pickles were beyond sour. The prices are reasonable. read more

The food was good, what left a bad taste was the extra $8 we were charged when asking for 6 Styrofoam plates and plastic ware to eat the $100+ call in, carry out order. read more

NONE of the meats are made at any of their premises, which means no special orders, and I get the impression that none of their meats are made in a smoker, but just grilled instead, none of the meats have any smoke flavor. The brisket is chopped, OK for sandwiches but brisket should be sliced otherwise, and since it's chopped, it sits in a steam table and becomes mush. Macroni & cheese is bland and mushy, the potato salad is equally tasteless. And should you be out and about a little late they close so early you are out of luck, they practically brag in the commercial jingle that they close at eight. All in all, a bad place with bad BBQ. read more

I have been coming here for years. I love being able to get quality well made brisket. Unfortunately, I found a lot more fat in the brisket lately and I miss the days when there was a better balance. While the fat does make it flavorful while cooking, I tend to pick out the fat as I don't like the texture. Ergo, I end up with less meat. I will say that I feel like the barbecue sauces have changed a bit the last few years, probably due to the pandemic and ingredient shortages. That's just my assumption, I do not know that for a fact. I am disappointed with their barbecue sauce flavors as of late.The recipe is definitely different. I am on my last bottle at home of the original hot bbq sauce and it's better than what they serve now. I used to purchase a few bottles and would check my bag just to bring the sauces back home with me, but now I prefer other brands, sadly. The service is really great, the folks there are really friendly. Some of them even called me out for not seeing me in a while. And that's because I moved away five years ago and so I only come here from time to time when I am in town, haha. They do have some of the best barbecue beans around. The mac & cheese is pretty good and so is the green beans. The mashed potatoes are pretty good too and the gravy is typically on point. One of the things I really like to get, but I don't get very often is the hot links. They are good, but they are spicy. The following sentence is tmi, you have been warned: They burn coming in, burn coming out. Inside the restaurant the ambience is like an old farmhouse vibe, but looks nothing like an old farmhouse. There are cheesy and snarky little signs all over that have a great country vibe and can give you a good solid belly laugh if you take the time to read them. I am not a big fan of shredded pork meat, there are a few places that I will eat pork because idk what they do to make it taste good to me, but overall I just don't like the taste, this is unfortunately not one of those places so I cannot personally speak to it myself. Others I trust have said it is really good. read more

My husband and I had lunch at Hog Wild when we were passing through Wichita. The ribs were great. The loaded potato was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again. The bacon on it wasn't the best. read more

Being from the south I'm very particular about my bbq - don't get me wrong, Hog Wild was good! And unlike a few other spots we tried to check out they had all of their meats and sides still available so WHOOP! I got the 2 meat plate which came with two sides - turkey breast and sausage with side salad and Mac n cheese. I liked the turkey - it was a bit dry but still yummy. The sausage was good also. Mac was creamy and the side salad was the move to make because it was large. Oh and it comes with Texas toast which is always my fave! I recommend for a quick bit to eat! read more

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q - ows a plate of food - Barbeque Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

While it wasn't the best bbq I've ever had, this was a nice treat in Wichita! I got the 2 meat plate with 2 servings of beef brisket, curly fries, and baked beans. I'm used to slices of brisket so it was a bit unusual to see "pulled" brisket, but the taste was just as good. By itself the meat was juicy and flavorful but their sauces added some nice flavor. The "hot" bbq sauce wasn't hot just nicely spicy. I tried the medium but ended up sticking with the hot. The baked beans were delicious too. The fries were decent, nothing notable, but no one is looking for knock-you-socks-off fries right?! A good find in this neighborhood- looks like a former pizza hut or something similar but I'd recommend this place if you're looking for decent bbq. read more

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q - Brisket plate, with curly fries, and baked beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Don't leave Kansas without getting bbq! That was my thought the last day we were there and this place caught my eye on Yelp. If you want huge portion sizes at affordable prices, this is the place you'll want to go! My daughter and I shared a 3-meat plate and could not finish it. The meat was GOOD, the sides were "ok" (hence 4-stars). I would not rush here for the sides (we had mac 'n cheese and I wasn't thrilled about it, couldn't tell if boxed or not?) but I would run there for the meat. The ribs were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Personally, the pulled pork was my favorite. The brisket a little grisly, but I don't expect it not to be most of the time. The atmosphere is dive-ish, but that is a must for a good bbq place - right? :) Looks like an old Penguin Point turned to Hog Wild Pit. There were some questionable individuals at the establishment, but it just flavored the scene a little more. Ha! I give customer service a 2-thumbs up. read more

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q - 3 meat plate - Barbeque Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

The pulled pork sandwich is one of the best I ever had. The fries with the BBQ is really good too.

The meat was dry but the sides were great. The flavor is always wonderful. Getting your full order has been a problem for the last 2 visits. The last time they shorted us 2 meats. This time I had to ask for the bbq sauce. Had I looked further, I would have noticed they didn't provide the 8 buns for an 8 piece dinner. They also charged for plates and plasticware. Staff really needs to double check orders when the order is over $80. read more

I waited over 5 minutes for someone to greet me & take my order in the drive thru. Once my order was placed, I waited another 20 minutes in line watching the girl at the window pass the receipt back and forth 5 times with the guy in the front of the line. I have no idea wth was going on, so I drove off without my order! That was my absolute last attempt to give this place my money! It's always a horrible experience at this location! Do yourself a favor and make the drive to 13th & Washington and get some amazing bbq brisket at PIPO read more

in the last four drive thru visits, i have had nothing right with my order. how can a manager let the employees kill your business? i am done for good. ordered beans last time, no spice, no smoke, right out of the can and served to the customer. time before, $75 carry out for a meeting, missing sauce, dry bbq, had to go back and retreive it before the meeting. this time, ordered beans, received potato salad and my dr pepper had no syrup in it. this place needs to shut down and throw in the towel. how bad can you get? the employees are so pathetic, i am surprised they can find the door to go to work.. i have been a fan of hog wild for over 20 years. how sad, piss poor management and lack of quaility control. too bad. save your advertising money and shut this location down. read more

First of all, the service was fast and friendly. I tried a 1 meat dinner (brisket) with baked beans and corn. I was impressed with the amount of smoke in the brisket--a slight smoke ring--not too smoky but just enough to taste--good job on the Brisket! Brisket was juicy, not dry as I have seen with other BBQ joints. Cook who smokes it behind the restaurant really knows what he is doing, I must say. Pickles, jalapeños, and other condiments are provided for free w/meal. Beans were pretty tasty, as was the corn. Not expensive at all for good portions. I highly recommend this location and, if you or your family is passing through Wichita, stop by Hog Wild Pit BBQ, for some of the best local BBQ! 5/5 stars. read more

Every time I come to Wichita I have to have Hog Wild! This is the best BBQ I've had hands down. The ribs don't even need a fork or sauce they fall off the bone and your hands smell like BBQ for the next week but it's all good. The sides are good too, I really like their Texas toast and potato salad. The ambiance is nice too with each restaurant having signs with silly "country" sayings. read more

Don't be late they close at eight Excellent barbecue at a reasonable price with nice meaty ribs and homemade potato salad with good old-fashioned baked beans Best barbecue in the area read more

When in Kansas you must do BBQ and when doing BBQ you need to try out Hog Wild. This place is very well priced, with great food and great service. I got a "two meat"plate with pulled pork, ribs, corn, slaw and some great Texas toast. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich. We enjoyed it so much that we bought a lb of pulled pork to take back to Vegas. Next time we are in Kansas we will definitely be stopping here for lunch or dinner. read more

We had an order delivered to us with SEVERAL things missing. I called simply for a refund for the items missing and was told it "wasn't a big deal" and that he "didn't know what to tell me". He wouldn't give me his name but I hope it was not the manager. I will definitely never order from this location again. read more

Would recommend this place if you are in town for a quick barbecue other than fast food. The ribs are tender and fall off the bone. Meat is well seasoned and juicy. I always get the three meat to share with my son. They give you plenty of meats. Pulled chicken and pulled pork is my favorite. They have different meats to alternate. The sides are just as good. Can't go wrong with the baked beans, coleslaw or mashed potatoes. If you don't want to go to a restaurant and want a quick take out meal, try this place. Don't forget to ask for different barbecue flavor. I like the hot. They close at 8 p.m. read more

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q - Juicy ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

See all

I've tried two meat choice for lunch this time - pulled pork and ribs. Man I am glad I didn't eat breakfast, I was just in heaven. I wish I could eat this everyday. Pulled pork is very moist and meaty. Ribs just fell right off born. I tried watermelon ice tea and it was interesting blend...I will definitely have them with ice as they were warm out of the jag (could but good sign as they blew it recently?) This is family friendly no frill restaurant, plenty of parking spots and people working there are friendly. They also have the take out window and also a van parked in the back said they do catering. This location is about 6 minutes from airport via highway, and convenient yet authentic bbq experience without going out of the way. read more

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q - So heavenly.... - Barbeque Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Disappointment. This is what followed a recent trip to Hog Wiiiiiiiild Pit Bar-B-Q. The largest local chain of BBQ in town? Probably. With 6 locations total, including one in Hutch & Salina. Two Brothers BBQ I believe just caught up with a forth location here in Wichita. But Hog Wild certainly has the higher, continual radio commercial presence, at least that Ive noticed. For whatever reason I just had not given them a shot until recently and regrettably. Lets get the sides out of the way. Baked beans were average, the potato salad was average, and the garlic toast was too butter greasy. What I really came here for was the ribs and a smoked Thanksgiving turkey. The ribs...Blarg......just were not good. Fatty. Greasy. Undercooked. Overall all lacked much taste even with their BBQ sauce already liberally applied and the ribs were uncut, served as a whole half slab, is this a common to-go practice? The next day it was the turkeys turn. For a price of $30, it was the cheaper found in town partially precooked. From the fridge to the oven, is it possible to lose that sought after smoker taste? The bare hint of smoke the finished turkey provided wasn't worth the price to me even for being the cheaper out of the round up. Next year I'll just hit the grocery store. read more

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q - Barbeque Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

First time I have had Hog Wild. A good experience overall. Walking up to the place, you can smell the aroma of meat enticing you to come in. Right away there is a huge menu plastered on the right side of the wall where you take your order. Very easy to read and helpful to figure out what you want to order. I had ordered the two-meat sandwich for $5.99 which I took the pulled pork and beef brisket. My side was Potato Salad for 1.69 and a drink for 1.69. Came out to 10 dollars and some change for the order. The restaurant had an overall clean appearance with a fully stocked soda/condiment setup. Several booths and plenty of seating. Our order only took about 5-10 minutes and my sandwich came loaded. The sandwich was great, because they toasted the bun with butter. It had a little bit of BBQ sauce, and I added some of their sweet BBQ sauce. Very good. The meat was moist and fell apart and the bun was good. Most buns you get with BBQ are weak and get soggy very quickly. The buns provided held up very well. Minimal mess and your hand isn't covered in grease and sauce. Filled me up very well. The Potato salad was a bit of a disappointment in my opinion. It almost tasted like store bought, so I doubt they actually make it themselves. It could use seasoning and chives and a mix of other things to be superior. Honestly their sides aren't that great at all. Now the best part I would say was the table side service. I was not expecting this at all. The lady that helped us was very friendly and refilled our drinks, and even dumped our empty finished trays. I gave them the fifth star because of that alone. Also someone apparently lost something and the manager went around to check if anyone lost anything. That's straight up good and humble honesty to look out for their customers. I'm not sure why some of the other reviews are low. I had an excellent experience. If you're going during lunch time, be prepared for long lines. I happened to show up at open (11am). read more

I gave two stars because of the people who work here. They were very friendly and got us our food quickly. If you want real BBQ that is good, do yourself a favor, look somewhere else. We ordered Ribs, Brisket, Pulled pork and Hot Links with a side of Mac and cheese and cole slaw. I wish I could say something good about the meat but I just can't. ribs Dry, Pulled Pork Dry, Brisket Dry, and the Hot Link was like Rubber. Mac and Cheese was over cooked and mushy, thank goodness for the cole slaw it was tasty and refreshing. Just extremely disappointed as we were all craving BBQ. None of us were able to even finish our plates. Just a huge disappointment overall with all of the food. read more

I ordered the Ribs, Hot Links, mashed potatoes and Cole slaw to go. Quick service. The ribs were very good and smoky. The hot links were not what I expected. They were sliced thin and smothered in bbq sauce. They didn't taste bad, just not what I was expecting. The Cole slaw was average and the mashed potatoes were instant potatoes which I guess is expected at a fast food place. Lowered the rating to a 3 as I thought about it later and only the ribs were good. read more

Walk to the counter, place your order, then they call your number. Pulled pork very good. Brisket was pretty dry, but tasted good. Mild and hot barbecue sauce available. I didn't see any sweet. The mild sauce is very good. Curly fries and potato salad were great. My wife said the green beans were good also. We would go back. read more

THESE MOTHER F****** Have some fire ass food. Great staff great environment great everything

This place has decent smoked bbq for a decent price. I got the three meat combo and it was just under $13. I ordered the brisket, hot links and ribs along with beans and mashed potatoes. It's my go to order when I try new bbq places. Everything was good. The brisket had nice smoke and wasn't dry. The ribs were a bit thin but had good flavor. The hot links were decent too. I would recommend this place for good smoked bbq. Good prices and fast service. read more

Food is good, this place is MUCH cleaner than the one on 21st Street. I much prefer this one! They are a Coke place of course. I really love their open face sandwiches!! read more

I was craving Bar-B-Q and Hog Wild happened to be on my way home. When I say craving, I mean where it's all I could think of for days. I was torn between what I should get. I was also in sticker shock because I had no idea how expensive Bar-B-Q for one could be. I wasn't prepared to take out an equity loan or hit my savings account so I decided on a compromise. I went with what was supposed to be a stuffed with everything potato and ordered some brisket as a topper for extra. I eagerly anticipated tearing into a feast when I got home - and for what it cost - it should be very satisfying - I was so disappointed my potato was anything BUT loaded. It was extremely dry and underwhelming. I had to doctor it up with ingredients I had at home before I could eat it. And the meat was so, so dry! I wondered if it's always dry and without flavor because it was old, or if I am missing something about Bar-B-Q? I felt so disappointed. I honestly wished I had gone to Arby's, KFC or any place other than Hog Wild where I felt I wasted my money. It was an awful feeling. I'm sure others experience have been different or they would be out of business. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day. On the positive side, drive through service was quick and friendly. read more

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, all of their locations are delicious! Great BBQ! What I miss when in CA. Good variety of sauces. All of their meats & sides have been really tasty. They have Berry Cobbler for dessert.. haven't tried it but it looks good. They also offer a great big baked potato with all the fixin's, meat included if you'd like. I think they also offer a tostada salad with whatever type of meat you'd like on it. MEAT CHOICES: pit-smoked meats of all kinds including beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs, hot links, turkey breast, pulled chicken and pit ham. SIDE CHOICES: Baked Beans, Potato Salad and Cole Slaw, Curley Fries. Order at the counter, they will call you when it is ready. Pickle & pepper bar offered. I checked "delivers" but this is just for catering purposes. read more

We eat at several of this restaurants locations. Their bbq is delicious and very affordable. The sauce is so good. I love that their turkey s gluten free and I often get the meat stuffed potato. The kids love it and clean their plates every time. The staff is quick and friendly and the restaurants are clean. Definitely a local favorite. read more

Hog Wild is fast and convenient. I often stop on my way home to grab dinner. I've never waited more than five minutes in the drive thru. The drive thru employee is always quick to greet you and serves people quickly. I love their pulled pork on top of a baked potato and their brisket dinner. They have a variety of meat and side options. Catering and bulk ordering are available. read more

I ordered the half slab of ribs baked beans and coleslaw. Portion size is definitely more than I can eat. Probably would be nice to have somebody to share it with , unless you like leftovers to take home. Almost fall off the bone by themselves , with a really great smoke to them. Coleslaw was really good and sweet but not too sweet. The baked beans were very delicious. Would highly recommend come into this place and will be back to it the next time I'm in Wichita. read more

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q - Half slab with slaw & beans - Barbeque Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Decent Q at a really good price. Sides are so-so. Hot Q sauce really did it for me. But this is about meat, right? Beef was chopped, tender, with medium smoke flavor. Not bad. Pork... ditto above. I expected more tenderness in the pork to be honest. Still fine, though. Ribs were cooked just right for me. Firm... but yielding off the bone with a little pull. Needed a bit more smoke and spice for more stars. This is a 4 star value, though. No regrets eating here. read more

Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q - Ham and hot links! Yum! - Barbeque Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

I'm waiting for someone to really do hot links right. Untill then I can only give BBQ places four stars, less if they arn't good. The brisket here was good and the sauces are great (just need good hot links to pour over) and the sides typical of quality BBQ places. I would eat here again but I would move in with good hot links. read more

You want great BBQ, come to this particular location on West Street in Wichita KS. The other locations just don't do it like this place. Had the brisket and pulled pork with side of coleslaw. Words can't explain how fire this for was. They take tenderness to another level. Go to this particular location and your stomach and taste buds will thank you. read more

First the good things:the prices are reasonable, the staff is always friendly, and the restaurant is very clean. Now, the bad news: The food just really isn't all that great. It's very bland and there's nothing unique about it. It tastes very commercialized and is not the type of thing that I find myself laying around wishing I could have some at Midnight. read more

Great bbq at a good price. I got two meat platter and it was a good size portions. Quick friendly staff. I will stop in again next time I'm in town. Recommend you give it a try. read more

Stopped here for lunch today and was disappointed. I guess this place caters to a fast food type crowd rather than BBQ folks. I ordered 2 meat dinner with 2 sides. The best item was the Texas Toast! The brisket was crumbled and dry. I thought it odd for it to come with sauce already applied. That was my first indication that it was dry. I understand that every order can't have pencil thin slices but this was ridiculous. I also had the pork ribs that were equally dry but at least had some flavor. My sides were Mac n cheese which was very bland. I also tried the coleslaw which tasted store bought. Again very bland. Last time for me to visit. read more
