| - Amazing all-around. Hogtown Smoke surpassed my expectations.
My friend and I went on a Thursday evening, cloudy weather and it was basically empty, inside and at the back patio. We decided to dine at the back patio and it looked very unique and cool in its on way. It was filled with neat high tables and high chairs with a bar at the back. You'll kinda wish your backyard looked the same way. Even though we didn't stay inside, it looked very cozy and cool with their neat booths and blackboard wall menu.
We were greeted and served by a very sweet and cool lady who was very helpful throughout our dining experience. She asked us if it was our first time at Hogtown Smoke and then she told us about their menu, especially their "Create Your Own Platter", which I got. Throughout our dining experience, we were checked up upon a couple other employees, not only her, I gratefully appreciated that. All of them were very cool, joyful, and nice and they definitely made me feel welcomed.
On our table were many condiments and other things such as ketchup, mustard, vinegar, moist toilettes, and three of their signature sauces: Black + Blue (Nice and sweet), Hogfather (best of 3), and Mango Habanero (very strong). Throughout my dining experience at Hogtown Smoke, I mostly used Hogfather and then Black + Blue, they both complimented my dishes significantly.
I ordered a Platter of Burnt Ends, Back Ribs, and Brisket with a side of Sweet Potato Fries. The Sweet Potato Fries came with Chipotle Mayo and it tasted great. The three meats were both beyond succulent, very tender and juicy. By far the best quality BBQ I have tasted. I loved how the three meats tasted with the Hogfather sauce. Also, these three meats were recommended by our server and she was definitely right.
In the end, we were very full and I ended up taking my leftovers out. A platter is definitely good enough for 2 people.
Overall, food had the highest quality, staff was amazing and fun, and decor was cool and unique.
Everything was definitely worth it.
