| - The other night we decided on BBQ for dinner and found Hogs and Hops which was not far away.
The restaurant is in a nice location with plenty of parking and offered a decent amount of seating compared to other BBQ joints I have been to.
After reviewing the menu, we decided on the Baby Back Ribs and the Three Meat Combo (brisket, pork & hot link).
Happy to see that they offered sweet potato fries for those of us on the paleo diet.
The food was served quickly after ordering and was exactly as we ordered.
So first let me start with the ribs, they were tender, juicy and easily pulled off the bones (which were very HOT).
As for the three meat combo, the brisket was tender and moist, easy to cut with a fork and had a nice lite bark on the outside.
The pulled pork was likely tender and moist with good flavor.
The hot link was delicious, but unfortunately it was not hot or spicy as a hot link should be.
As for sauces, they offer the sweet mild or the hot & spicy which was more tangy from the vinegar than hot.
Overall the food was good and reasonably priced compared to other BBQ joints I have been to.
Now the crowning jewel would be the craft brews .... and yes, I saved the best for last.
They have a large chalk board up with a list of the current brews on tap which fortunately did not include any products from the craft brewers owned by the Big 3 Macro Breweries (who ruin the brands once they purchase them).
They have up to 24 varieties available which for me was great since it closely resembles what was offered by one of my favorites brew pubs up in the Seattle area.
So, overall if you are looking for a great selection of craft brews to enjoy and possibly some decent BBQ, Hogs & Hops is certainly a good destination to consider.
