hoggs gourmet grill

real review!. i went here today and have to say whatever! they had about 6 different sausages but to my surprise they did not have hot links, isn't this abbqjoint? they had cajun sausages some hawaiian crap and some hungarian crap and some other sweet sausages again isn't this abbqjoint?. i ordered the andouille and onion rings, yuck! i hate beer batter onion rings but they didnt have many other options and i didnt know they would be beer batter. my mom orderedbbqpulled chicken she said it was okay but the coleslaw was definitely lacking. over all on a scale of 1-10 i would give it a 5 it was my first visit and maybe my last but ribs are the true test so maybe i will return just to make sure. it is cheap for bbq

hoggs wild. i visited hoggs for the first time on wednesday. i had a very simple smoked turkey sandwich, i fell in love. i then took my 16yr old daughter, who is a rib eater, she had the half rack baby backs and was in finger sucking heaven! i had the "pulled plate"(chicken) and i am need of more. the food is amazing and addictive. i will send anyone looking for greatbbqor smoked meats to hoggs, moreno valley. thanks for the awesome service!

absolutely amazingbbqand the owner is a super nice guy! we will definitely be returning with our friends!

i hate to say this but.... the owner of hoggs is just the nicest guy around. i almost didn't post a review just for that fact. my problem with hoggsbbqis that "slow-cookin'" is only part of the formula. you have to infuse the meat with real smoke flavors too. i got the sampler platter with ribs, pulled pork, chicken and anduille sausage. the portion was ok for a hungry guy but: the chicken was dry, the ribs were just ok, and the pulled pork was tender. none of the meat had any smoke flavor and thebbqsauce was standard commercial texture and perhaps a bit on the hot side for most. i don't know how these guys cook their product but it tasted almost pressure-cooked which means bland.
i prefer hoggs to smokey canyon though because smokey canyon has an opposite problem. they use far too much hickory smoke in their bbq. i even overheard the owner say she liked to use oak for special occasions, yuk!!
i'm still on the hunt for decentbbqin riverside county, until i find it i think my buddy n i will stick to our backyard smokers and continue to burn that good ol fruitwood which is miles more mellow than hickory or god-forbid oak. happy eating all.

i lovebbqnot hoggs. i have had greatbbqall over this country. i was told that"you just got to try hoggs" well i did today for lunch. i won't be back. my wife didn't care for it either. i have been burping liquid smoke all afternoon. lame sauce. hole inthe wall. website look much better than the restaurant. my said the best thing about her sandwich was that the bread was fresh

amazing food and great service at a low price! hoggs has some of the best meats i've ever had. the owner is very friendly and the staff is very attentive. his burgers are made with authentic angus chuck, not that bs angus beef you now find at fast food restaurants, and you can get a burger for about the same price as carl's jr. other ingredients are fresh and the buns are fluffy and fresh. his jalapeno bacon is to die for. his inside decor makes you feel like your out at your rich friends house having a lovelybbqin the backyard. hoggs is a must go!

first timer finds freakin' fun food!. our friend art had told us guys about this excellent lunch place-and how he once demolished a "quad hogg burger"-and got his picture taken. i'm a bit of abbqbacon burger buff but this time was chomping at the bit for something new, something different. what happened next would change my entire concept of what a chiliburger should be; could be.

i asked jeff (the proprietor) if he could build me a burger i envisioned that was not on the menu. he was thrilled and encouraged me to explore his carte du jour. this was my burger vision:

it starts with a tasty warm bun, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. this is topped with his famed hogg burger, two slices of bacon, and dripping with hot chili and cheese. finally this monster is crowned with one of his massive grilled gourmet cajon sausages. the rest… is history.

sure, i was flattered when jeff called it the "barry burger" and everyone at our table laughed, licked, lapped, and ate well that day. hoggs transcends normal burger bar fare into artful cuisine-a fodder phenomenon.

great bbq. this place is absolutely one of the best places we like to go eat at. thebbqis fantastic....and they have the best hamburgers! the owners, are great people, fun to talk and visit with, just really down to earth folks. my husband and i go weekly and we really enjoy the food and the company.
