I used to be a competitive BBQ cook. I can still make my smokers sing. As a result I tend to be…read moreharsh when evaluating retail BBQ joints. I've eaten at this Black Hog location (and their ones in downtown Frederick and Urbana) many times. All produce reasonable 'que - not award winning, but consistent and decent quality. Today's choice was a brisket sandwich. The meat was nicely cooked, and the bark looked nice, but it was underseasoned. As a result, it had no punch on the first bite or any that followed. I generally don't like to put sauce on brisket. The bark and the meat should speak for themselves, but in this case, I decided to try the three sauces that came with it: vinegar (Really? For brisket?), a sweet Memphis style, and a thicker Kansas City style. The latter two were too sweet for brisket, and the former was, well, an abomination. IMHO. The sandwich came with one side. I got potato salad, which also needed some pickle pieces, onions, paprika, cayenne - anything that added punch. Not the worst I've had in town, but not the best. (Yeah, yeah, I know it's subjective, but I'll stack my potato salad against anyone's. My Aunt Helen taught me well). Oh, I'll be back, don't you worry. Black Hog serves a consistent, decent product that is the best available in Frederick It's just not close to what I can eat from any of the countless hole-in-the-wall joints pretty much anywhere in Texas. But it's a much shorter drive...

For a small restaurant they had a full bar with a decent bourbon and whiskey selection. Their menu is flexible, allowing options for various combos - so you can try whatever you want. I ordered a brisket sandwich with a side of burnt ends. Burnt ends are my favorite and I was SLIGHTLY disappointed because they weren't "crispy" like I like, but the flavor was great. The price was in line with other BBQ joints, so no surprises there. We'll definitely be back.

We ordered a bit of everything from the standard and kids' menus. Our favorites were the pulled pork tacos, the flounder sandwich (my personal favorite), and the from-scratch mac and cheese. I would eat a pint of that mac and cheese if I could. A note, however, 1/3 of the kids found the addition of cracked pepper in the mac and cheese "too spicy." The staff was attentive and checked in frequently.

We opted to sit outside since we had our dog with us. The server was very friendly, with great service and they are very dog friendly and had water bowls outside for them. I am from Eastern NC, so I have a pretty good idea of bbq and BC staples. I decided to try the flounder rather than the bbq this time. The founder was disappointing. It was a bit on the bland side and the batter is a little confusing. I was expecting a cornmeal style batter or similar, but got something different. The fish itself had potential to be very good. The beans also left a lot to be desired, just lacked flavor and taste. The business looks like they do a lot of catering as opposed to dining (possible a lot of to go orders, too).

We would consider coming back, hopefully when the restaurant is better staffed and able to handle the crowd more smoothly.

This location doesn't have ice cream out but you can get some from your server after your meal. All of the veggies and meats are fresh and well prepared. I like trying the tofu skin, and scallops here. I haven't seen this at other locations. I'll definitely be back!

She knew the menu inside and out, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood how everything worked. You can tell she's experienced and actually cares about the guests having a good time. She really made the whole experience smooth. It runs about $40 per person, which feels fair for all-you-can-eat and the overall experience. For the quality, service, and fun factor, it's well worth it. Definitely recommend checking it out.

I ate my lunch at one of the picnic tables on the property, which was comfortable and fun (but they don't have bathrooms FYI). The service was friendly, and the place has tons of retro charm. I'd definitely go back for another meal - maybe a milkshake or other dessert with my burger next time? A fun, fast, casual meal. A charmer in Frederick, just off 70.
