| - We have tried every barbeque place in Champaign-Urbana over the years. I don't know what took me so long to try Wood N' Hog since I had several people tell me to go, but we went tonight and ordered a bit of, well, a lot: Slab of ribs, fish, chicken legs, jerk tips, corn bread, potato salad and cabbage. (Next time we will try more of the chicken, the turkey, and the fried green tomatoes, but we already way over-ordered). We kept waiting to try something we did not like and it did not happen. The fish and chicken legs were very lightly breaded, but were not greasy at all and the seasoning was spot-on. The ribs were perfectly smoky, the (house-made) sauce was delicious and the jerk tips were tender and spicy. The sides were all equally delicious, and everything also came with fries. If we have any advice after one time it would be this: You get a lot food, so go easy if you aren't hungry, and they also are not shy with the sauce so if you want to really taste the smoke you might want to ask for light sauce. Also, this is not an eat-in place, so be prepared to place your order and take it to go (or call ahead and pick up). Finally - but not least of all - the owner and everyone who worked there were so welcoming and helpful, which is another reason to recommend them. We agreed that we liked this better than any other we have tried and this will be our go-to place for BBQ. No hesitation recommending it.
