    I'm rounding up from 3.5 rating. We stopped by here around 2:30 on Saturday. At first just my husband was going to get something but I saw the sign specials outside and immediately wanted the fried cabbage. We walked in to a clean establishment with about six tables, homey decor. While we were looking over the menu, a man came out to ask how we were doing. He looked like he had command of a smoker and grill :) My husband went with the three meat combo with ribs, tri tip and links with sides of Mac n cheese and baked beans. The fried cabbage wasn't ready yet so I went with the day's special shrimp and crab egg rolls and friend mushrooms. We took everything to go. Also got some peach cobbler, they were out of banana pudding I loved my egg rolls! They had a smoke flavor (I don't usually like liquid smoke but this was applied with an expert hand) and the veggies were plenty and not overcooked/mushy. Would definitely order again. The mushrooms were good but not spectacular. What made them good were the spice/smoke, again not overly applied. I didn't taste the links but tried the ribs and they were excellent. Again, nice smoke flavor and tender. The tri tip was just ok. My daughter loved the baked beans. They were good. The Mac and cheese was a no, though - maybe someone just put a tad too much of that liquid smoke Overall, we will be back because those specials must be had. I should have asked when the specials are ready because I would have thought 2:30 in a Saturday would be late enough for the "weekend specials " to be ready {shrug}

    Fried mushroom.  little serving for the price. They're small.

    Came across Hogg Pitt while running errands. I stopped by for lunch. The food itself is good! I enjoyed the tri tip, it was not too salty or fatty. Good sauces and fried mushrooms were tasty but for the prices I got very little. I just feel it's overpriced for what you get. They're sandwiches more like half a sandwich with little protein. The place is clean and nice. The service is average. Not great but not horrible. Overall, I am not sure if I will come back because I can get similar somewhere else with better serving size. The food is tasty so I won't tell anyone not to go try it.

    First, is this even a hot link? The ribs were extremely salty.What concerned me seeing a bunch of kids in the kitchen preparing food without an adult properly supervising or monitoring them.

    We wanted some bbq so we decided to give this place another try. I was surprised to see that they have more things on their menu. Although the menu on the wall was still the same, they had NEW laminated menus. They now have 3 and 4 meat plate options. So we went with two 3 meat plates. I did tri tip, pulled pork and ribs. My sides were greens and Mac n cheese. My bf did tri tip, pulled pork and rib tips. His sides was greens, Mac and cheese and then he added potato salad. Also cornbread cus it doesn't come with the plates. And for dessert he got peach cobbler. Each plate came with two bbq sauces. The sauces was okay. But tasted very cumin-y. I didn't mind it but my bf was good on it. I had the tri tip and ribs before and I thought they tasted koo. The pulled pork however was too salty. The Mac n cheese I had last time was good and cheesy. This time I had a brick of Mac n cheese. Wasn't cheesy at all. It all just stuck together. You can see the difference in the pics from how I had it before to what I got in my recent visit. Greens was still good. Potato salad also tasted different. The first time i had it, it was good. This time it was too sour. Tasted like too much relish or pickle juice.. or maybe even mustard. Peach cobbler wasn't the best. My bf did not like it at all.. I do appreciate how much meat we got compared to last time. It seemed like more. Service was just okay. Nothing special. The old man in there that was choppin it up with me was nice tho. I think he could've been kin to the people that works there. He said he was from Arkansas?? Or somewhere in the south. Had an accent and all. As for ambiance, it was the same as when I last came. Music playing & the tv on. I would still come back if craving bbq that serves a side of greens, but this probably won't be my first choice..

    Got food to go and it was quick and delicious. Ribs were ok, not fall apart tender today but the smoked Mac and cheese was fantastic, would eat a whole tray of that

    9/10/25 Been a while and on a BBQ kick! Ordered on DoorDash a BBQ chicken meal with baked beans & Mac n cheese. Paid for it there and went to pick it up! Arrived! Really GREAT! Greeted by worker, order ready and handed over with good day wishes! GREAT! Clean and safe inside. Lots of seating, music playing and multiple TVs up. Lunchtime! BBQ chicken was seasoned, tender & had great flavor. Baked beans were tasty, Mac N Cheese was Flavorful! It's a lot! 1/2 was plenty! Great service & GREAT lunch! Highly recommended!

    Rack of ribs

    You see... what happened was... I stopped in here randomly on my way home from work to pick up some ribs for my husband. Sounded like a nice Friday treat. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was simple and clean. I ordered just 1 serving of ribs (they gave me 2 even though I think it was supposed to be 3?). Anyhow, when my husband tried them he ended up loving them so much that he insisted we get more! So we went back that same night for a WHOLE RACK and some sides. The ribs were next level! Flavorful, tender, and not dry at all. Don't worry, we didn't eat the whole rack in one sitting - we will get to enjoy the leftovers! We will definitely be back and look forward to trying other items!

    Tri-tip and ribs with Mac n cheese and corn bread. Finger licking good!

    I had gone to the farmers market in old town Clovis on Friday and wanted some good bbq. I tried the Hogg Pitt. It's a small locally owned family business that's only been going for 3 months. While I ate there the last hour of business for the day, everyone that came in knew the owner. It's small and for now they use to go containers and packaged plastic utensils, nothing fancy. I had the 2 meat and 2 sides combo. I ordered the tri tip and ribs with corn bread and Mac n cheese. The meat was excellent and the Mac n cheese was outstanding, the best I've ever had! It was all served quickly and absolutely delicious! I also ordered the German chocolate cake! It was 10 out of 10! They also offer daily specials with off the menu items. They also serve fish as well. Give them a try, eat in or to go, you won't be disappointed! Great food and great people!

    Loaded Fries
    Junior V.

    Place always great to visit for lunch or dinner. Food always comes out amazing and I got the loaded fries and they aren't messing around when they say it's loaded. It has pork beans, Mac and cheese, tri tip, hot link, and of course the fries. Service is fast and friendly and most days the owner is here and always welcoming and checking on everyone and their meals. Can't say enough positive things about this little gem.

    Tri tip and burnt tips
    Andre' J S.

    Decided to give this place one more try 6/20/25 ordered on door dash because you get an 11$ off promotion during happy hour and the price still came out to 31$ just to a two piece combo. That's very high. Now the food is full of flavor, but the portion size they give you is from the kids menu. This will probably be my last time here unless those portion sizes get better or the prices become more realistic

    Hooray! A new BBQ place nearby. In the old Fresno Sandwich Shop location. The menu looks good. Decent prices! Super nice owner. We were in the shopping center for Mexican food this evening, but I can't wait to stop back by for BBQ. Clean , updated restaurant. Update: Still craving some good BBQ ribs. We decided to get dinner to go. I ordered the one meat/two sides plate. Three ribs, potato salad and fries. The hubby ordered three ribs with potato salad and cornbread. OK, here's the lowdown...the ribs were A-MAZ-ING!!!!! They were meaty and tender. The sauce they were slathered in was so good! These are definitely not your run of the mill chain BBQ ribs. I seriously can't rave about these ribs enough! You've just got to get in there and try them for yourself! Warning! You'll need lots of napkins when you partake in them. The potato salad was a big serving. Very creamy. The French Fries there are regular French Fries. That's a good thing! Straight cut. Non of that batter or season salt crap. Perfectly cooked and very tasty. The hubby loved the ribs, too. He was very pleased with the sauce. Which they didn't skimp on, by the way. He wasn't a fan of the potato salad, due to the pickles in them. He said the cornbread was really good. We are definitely a fan of Hogg Pitt and will be going back soon! They are closed on Mondays, so know that when you're planning your visit. Check out my pics for the current menu and pricing and get on in there for some awesome BBQ!

    Today is my last day living in Fresno and as luck would have it I found Hogg Pitt. This sucks because it's such a delicious place and I won't get to enjoy it anymore. Anyhow, make sure to go visit them. The food is excellent and it will fill your tummy.

    We ordered Hogg Pit for catering our wedding welcome dinner! Herman is great. He will accommodate pricing towards your budget. Everyone loved the food. The biggest hit was the smothered oxtail with rice. That was the fast mover. The sides were great. We ordered macaroni salad, and potato salad. If we were ever in Central Valley again and need to order catering, we would definitely order through Hogg Pitt.

    BBQ Food the best in town !

I ordered the **BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger**, and while the presentation wasn't the most impressive, it does come with an onion ring, which is a nice touch. It's not my favorite burger on the menu, but it's still very good. I'd give it an **8/10**. The **Monster Burger** is where it's at, though! This is easily a **9/10** and one of those burgers you really can't go wrong with. The portion size, quality, and price are all excellent, and I especially love that it comes with two different types of cheese. Definitely one of the best options here. We also ordered the **Southwestern Salad**, which was really good. I would recommend asking for extra dressing because it could definitely use a little more. Overall, I'd give the salad an **8/10**. The **fries are always a 10/10**. The side portion is huge and easily enough to share, which makes it an even better value. The drinks are good as well. The **service is always top-notch**. They treat you like family, and the food comes out quickly. I also like that the restaurant has both a traditional service side, where tipping is optional, and a self-service side where you find your own table and pick up your food, so tipping isn't necessary. The **ambiance is one of the best things about this place**. If you're a sports fan, you'll love it. There's tons of sports memorabilia throughout the restaurant and plenty of TVs showing different games. It's a great place to hang out, grab some food, and watch sports. Being right across the street from Fresno State is also a huge plus. The only real downside is the **parking**. They definitely need to find a way to increase the amount of parking because it can be difficult to find a spot. Overall, this is a great place with **good food, generous portions, reasonable prices, excellent service, and an unbeatable sports atmosphere**. Definitely worth checking out!

The one time we have clearly overcooked meat that tastes like horse the manager completely dismissed my 72-yo mother in a very rude way. I guess selling "1000s of sandwiches today with zero complaints" is good enough to completely dismiss us. What likely happened was they saved the overcooked meat till the end of the day (we went 20 minutes before closing) and we were the schmucks that got it. What really pissed me off though is that the manager had veins popping out of his neck. The way he was talking to my elderly mother was inappropriate. Thankfully he cooled down when I walked up to the conversation. All she wanted was to replace our 4 tritip sandwiches with another. Whoever the manager was needs some serious customer service training and needs to learn how to speak to people.
