Hog Heaven Barbeque

I was in the area at lunchtime and decided to give it a try, because the reviews here talked about how great the ribs are. I ordered the rib plate with baked beans and potato wedges. They were out of potato wedges, so I substituted potato casserole. The potato casserole was definitely the highlight of the meal, and the beans were nothing to write home about, but the ribs were undercooked. I cook ribs at least every other week, and the only time I've ever had them come out this chewy was when I didn't start early enough and was forced to pull them before they were ready.

Staff was friendly. I ordered the BBQ Beef sandwich, as this is one of the very few BBQ places left that still serves "pulled/chopped beef". Most places that offer BBQ beef generally serve it a la "sliced brisket". Which is the easy way to do it. "Pulled" or "Chopped" BBQ beef takes longer to prepare, but the texture is much better IMHO than sliced brisket, and so is the flavor. The meat itself I give an A+. The bun unfortunately was flat and nothing to write home about, C-. The BBQ sauce was flavorful, robust, thick and a bit tomatoey. Not really sweet at all though, which surprised me because most thick BBQ sauces are quite sweet. A little tangy, and smoky. All around I'd say it was a pretty good sauce, a solid B+. I didn't get any sides, so I can't rate those. Will try next time.

This is the best place around to get ribs. And their potato salad is a-ma-zing. I have never had potato salad this good. They are very friendly and their portions are generous. We go there so much I'm pretty sure they know us by now.....my husband and I even have their tshirts....even though I have a big stain on mine from eating so many ribs. Give them a try...you won't be sorry! This is an excellent place to go.

While on an overnight stay in Flowood, we found this place near the hotel. It's a convenience store with a BBQ section where you can get orders of fresh cooked BBQ and sides to go. It was GREAT. Very good ribs, very decent price. The owner was friendly and courteous. If I'm ever in that area again I will make it a point to visit this place again.
