Try the curly fries with Ranch dressing. Also, the hot, fried apple turnovers are excellent for dessert. Friendly staff. I'll have to return to try the pig butt.

Everything I wanted when I decided on small town BBQ for lunch. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The potatoe salad is probably my favorite BBQ joint potatoe salad Ive ever had. Whenever works sends me this way I will be sure to stop in for a hawgzilla again.

Everyone's experience is not always the same as another's. The slaw was so delicious! The Chestnut bars were delicious. I got great attitude from the ladies. Wish the BBQ sauce was a little thicker. Overall had a really good first time experience.
