How lucky I was to miraculously find Hog's Heaven BBQ when in all actuality I was driving to a BBQ competitor close to my house Shanes rib shack. Long story short one of the owners of Shanes passed away so they sold it to Hog's Heaven. I used to love Hog's Heaven at their old location in Aliante but their spot was hidden and wasn't garnering enough business to stay open. Sad day when it closed, euphoria when I stumbled upon their new location. Like the old location, the new kitchen is staffed with the same masters of mesquite and likewise the same jazz and blues music from their old location comes bellowing out of this kitchen. You can sit down to eat or grab and go. The service is remarkably professional for counter ordering and the restaurant is clean. Ribs are a must get-amazing flavor ask for extra sauce. Pulled pork sandwich is good but the ribs are the star of this show. Sides are hit and miss, it's almost worth while to save room for MORE ribs. Tried the cornbread but it's not homemade and I love fried okra but like the cornbread they were not homemade. There's only so many hours in the day and the folks at hog's heaven spend it wisely on their ribs. When these folks have a firmer grasp of the needs of their new location I would love to see them make more of their items in house. Maybe I should be happy they don't though or else I would have BBQ pulsing thru my veins and be one fat pig. For the time being though, I am back in Hog's Heaven !
