I ordered the ribs and they have dry rub and looked dry; however, they were fall off the bone and amazingly tender. The flavor was what you want from a rib - lots of great smokey taste.

They had a lot of other great looking things on the menu, but I just kept it simple. Smoked chicken wings is a very underrated barbecue dish.

We had been meaning to try Humble Hog as I'm a huge fan of smoked bologna so I was disappointed to find that is only served at lunch. Our server was attentive and super sweet. She made some solid recommendations and we took her up on them. We opted instead for a few small plates and my wife and I shared the brisket. We opened with lobster hush puppies and burnt ends. The burnt ends were terrific, well seasoned, wonderfully smoked and a fair portion size. The hush puppies lacked lobster but were still tasty and cooked made to order. From there we indulged in the chipotle smoke Mac and cheese, brisket and corn pone. The brisket was terrific and tender and well smoked, the Mac and cheese was SUPERB and definitely had a spicy little kick but the corn pone was awful. I understand that it's essentially cornbread pancakes but there was zero flavor and they were almost cold. I was looking forward to these because you don't see them on the menu many places abut they were not good. Cornbread served like this should be made to order and served hot and fresh. We finished with the banana pudding which was excellent and I think the finish the top with marshmallow fluff that they torch to give it a smoky taste. So when you head down to humble hog go at lunch and try the bologna, I bet it's amazing...and skip the corn pone.

The gentleman making the plates said it was all "juicy" because it sits in a broth. Gave it a shot anyway and it was very salty. I'm guessing it was from the broth it sat in. Sides were decent. Very nice people. 2 stars for the sides and great service but maybe the worst brisket I've ever had. If you go I'd recommend trying something other than brisket, especially if you know good brisket. When leaving the lady at the counter said next time we have to try the ribs. I'd definitely take that advice because the brisket is NOT it!

My wife ordered the burnt ends with fries, and I ordered the pulled pork with fries. She thought the burnt ends were pretty good, but about one-third of them were fat. My pulled pork was just okay, as some of the meat was a little dry. The seasoned fries were good and had just the right amount of seasoning.

The calendar is on the web page. But why chase bad BBQ. This wood pellet (Traeger) grill smoked BBQ is dry. The smoke flavor is light to the point of being almost non-existent. The rub is okay, but when a brisket is this dry it's just not worth eating. The other meats are okay. The pork is probably the best thing, and it's just good not great. The ribs were okay too. The sides are about the only reason this has two stars instead of one. The mac and cheese is tasty and well made. The beans are good. Look, I don't write any reviews less than three stars and few less than four stars unless I have visited a place multiple times. Any place can have an off day, and I hate giving lower reviews to small businesses. But this is just NOT good BBQ. And, yes, I know a bit about BBQ, with deep roots in Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Italy. I've cooked many briskets. Many. With wood. Cooked many pork butts and ribs. Tons. And so has my family (I have two relatives in the Dallas area who cater BBQ). So, this is not an area where I have no experience. Oh, and don't snicker at Italy in the list. How did your whole goat cooked in a dirt pit turn out? How about that whole pig you cooked? Yeah. Thought so. Sorry, Lloyd's. This is not great stuff. Dang. I wish it were.

I especially want to try the pork belly bites, but those are only on Fridays. I ordered the most popular dish, the gomer. I asked what the freshest meat was because the reviews varied. Many stated that there was a lot of dry meats, others report tender and perfect. My suggestion if you don't want to be disappointed is to ask what is the freshest for that moment in time. Pork was it today and it was delicious. I think next time I would rather get the meat plate as all the sides piled onto the pork was a bit over the top for me. I wanted to taste each item they have separately, but it was challenging being piled together. But that is what I get for picking the popular item and not what I think I would enjoy more. Gomer was $12. I see the cost has gone from $10, then $11 and now $12. I would not be willing to pay more than $12 but I understand the cost of food has gone up. Curious why the nacho is $16. If I understand correctly it is just the gomer with chips and cheese. I don't think that is worth $4 more. Maybe the quantity is more too??? Overall, I am happy with my first trip to Lloyd's and looking forward to pork belly bites in my future.

Still lunch time, there we were quite a few tables open - not ever a good sign. I ordered the special cod and fries. Three of the four ordered meals showed up - not mine.

My cod came out in some triangular format not bite-sized but not fillets either. The fish was mealy and tasteless. The spinach Maria, once a proud favorite, was just lousy. The cheese topping was burned but ok. The spinach was similar to baby food - mushy and tasteless. The server raised my rating up one star by trying hard.
