I ordered a half rack of ribs, side of mac and cornbread. OMG. The ribs were tender, with an amazing dry rub and BBQ on the side. They were a nice size with a great smoke flavor. Speaking of smoke, next time I go, I'm getting the bucket of mac. Creamy, smokey, spoons full of comfort. Finally the cornbread. Probably one of the best cornbreads I've ever had; it is more in line with a pound cake. I could eat an entire loaf. Smooth and sweet. I got my order to go. Great customer service!

I've been here.... back in 2021/2022. I was driving up to Wilkes for WHATEVER reason and it was…read moreearly April. I recognize the inside, the deck and the smoker outside. I was on 309 North and passed it (it was on the left hand side). So, I pull a u-ey (is that how one abbreviates U turn). I was excited because I saw the smoker outside with a ton of smoke coming out of the chimney. I go in, order a full rack of ribs (why not? There was that smoker outside pumping out smoke). I was SO disappointed by how hard the ribs were. They were not tender AT ALL. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but I definitely have had WAY better ribs. I would not recommend this place. Update: owner responded with sincere intentions. I WILL give these guys a second try. I'll post the results afterwards.

Boasting rich and comforting flavors, this concoction was an amalgam of deliciously smoked meat and veggies swimming in a pool of a savory tomato and herb broth. The next favorite, and honestly the best I've ever had - the ribs. Fall-off-the-bone, moist, saucy and full, these delightful slices of heaven sung of flavor. Before I go on sounding like I ate a meal for a village, we were treated to a lovely sampling. The meatloaf, paired with the potato salad, would be the hit of any party. Finally, and I don't know how the chef did this, but the smoked tuna was so rich and different, it reminded me of eating a fresh and expensive crab cake. Note to all who are looking for some epic bbq: check the updates for availability. It's no shock, but this locale sells out of items quickly in its TH-S run. An experience I will never forget. Thanks to the owner/chef for a fantastic dining delight!

I got the chicken, pulled pork, coleslaw, and cornbread. Everything was excellent! The portion size was huge. Glad I asked for it in a to go container because I only ate 1/4 of it & I was stuffed!! My son didn't order because he's not a big bbq eater so the owner brought out a sample of their signature New Brunswick stew. The boy doesn't eat soup either so I had to eat that too!! Lol - I'm not sorry! We got to listen to some R&B that was playing softly in the background. Soothing and not loud enough that you couldn't have a normal conversation. The dining area was clean and tidy. Loved it!

Atomic Hog is PHENOMENAL…read more I have never had brisket this stellar. The tenderness, the flavor, and the amount of meat is truly incredible. So perfectly seasoned is the meat that I never use any sauces or condiments. I usually get the collared greens as a side. Once again, it's a large portion, well seasoned and perfectly complementary to their amazing meats. Additionally, the Atomic Hog staff is friendly and capable. Atomic Hog is highly recommended and like many in the area, we hope they find a permanent brick and mortar home!

The owners are super friendly and so appreciative of your business. I couldn't resist the delicious shredded pulled pork & the Mac n cheese- I opted for the small sandwich but it was very generous.

If you're lucky enough to encounter Atomic Hogs- don't pass up the opportunity. I sure hope Atomic Hogs returns to our picnic next year!

We started with the French onion soup, which was rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. They also brought out fresh warm bread with raspberry butter, a standout touch that was absolutely delicious. For entrées, the pulled pork sandwich was fantastic, and their burgers were equally impressive -- juicy, well‑seasoned, and cooked just right. The braised beef risotto is truly to die for, packed with deep flavor and perfectly creamy. The 1/2 rack BBQ ribs were excellent as well, tender and smoky, served with fresh French fries that rounded out the plate perfectly. Service was top‑notch. Our waitress checked on us multiple times, making sure we had everything we needed and creating a genuinely welcoming experience. Overall, Powerhouse Eatery is a great spot with consistently delicious food and outstanding service. I'll definitely be back.

The restaurant was staged beautifully and decorated for a between-the-holidays meal, and even though it was packed there was only a low undertone of voices from the surrounding tables. Our waiter was fantastic and gave honest, informed suggestions that showed great menu knowledge. The cocktails were creative, well-balanced and refreshing; we tried the pomegranate cosmo, winter maple old fashioned, mistletoe mule, holiday margarita, and butterscotch espresso martini. The whipped ricotta and poached pear crostini really stood out and was an incredible way to begin the meal, but don't sleep on the bacon wrapped scallops. I could have eaten a bowl of that sweet corn puree and even though it's a party favorite, the smokey/sweet bacon/scallop combo was even more crisp/tender than most their kind. For entrees, we rattled off some Chilean sea bass (w/ citrus beurre Blanc), linguine and clams, and spicy chicken pappardelle, finishing with a few lunges at their Classic House Made, original 1989 recipe, Peanut Butter Pie. Normally my fiance and I split our entrees; unfortunately, I couldn't come up from the Sea Bass long enough to even offer her a bite. It was really a wonderful sauce, and a perfect amount to swirl around in the risotto. I was able to score the remainder of the clam linguine as leftovers, and even heated up in the microwave two days later it still qualified as a top three clam linguine dish I've ever had; buttery, lemony, garlicky goodness.
