| - Barbecue aficionados, your prayers have been answered, again! A new bbq joint has opened up! Hogs Heaven BBQ is the newest and the fifth barbeque joint to open in Henderson in less than a year. So far everything we tried the ribs, mac 'n cheese, and honey butter corn muffins, all legit status!
FAQ's ...ok...only two visits in, so here are the deets so far:
Q. What meats do they have?
A. Babyback, Links, Chicken and Pulled Pork (no brisket)
Q. What about sides?
A. Offhand I remember, mac n cheese, collard greens, fried okra, potato salad, all homemade too!
Q. Any desserts?
A. Yes! Pies!!! Sweet Potato, Bourbon Peach Cobbler, and Apple..all made from scratch!
Q. How are the meats prepared?
A. Their menu says smoked for hours in mesquite wood. Bbq sauce is smothered over the ribs.
Q. How were the ribs and your meal, did you like it?
A. Oh hell yah! Our family loved it enough that after the sample Doug had us try, we ordered 1/2 rack of ribs, even though we had dinner already! We are also a big fan of their bbq sauce, it had just enough zest to it. Creamiest mac n cheese, ever! I like that here was a bit of jalepeno to give it a lil kick!
Q. Ambiance? Service??
A. Fast/Casual dine in/take out/deliver. The place is clean, max occupancy 55, There are couple tables that fit families and seating around backside of restaurant. A large screen TV.. Menu board above on wall, or grab one on counter.
Service is great! Family friendly. Dining space is just right. Smells great in there!
The two young ladies we met the first time there were very helpful, Doug who prepared our ribs was really cool and when we told him it was our first time to try, he offered us each a rib to try! Next visit Verlice(sp?) introduced herself to me as the co-owner, her husband is the bbq genius.
Q. Okay Shirl, where is this place again?
A. Cross streets Warm Springs/Arroyo Grande. The restaurant and parking entrance faces Arroyo Grande. Your visual cues Dairy Queen on the corner, just drive a little past that and the Chinese restaurant(which is now closed). You'll see the huge banner on their storefront, make that turn into their parking lot.
What I think is also cool, they have kids meals, they will soon offer a special lunch menu during lunch hours for Green Valley HS students. They DELIVER! The prices are really reasonable and in line with the other bbq joints in the area.
Now to decide which is the best bbq in Henderson...that's tough, because each place has their strong points and nuances that shine through. For sure, I'll get the baby back ribs, order xtra sauce and sweet potato pie here. Welcome to the Hendo hood, Hogs Heaven! Hey, you can call Henderson barbecue heaven now!
