HogsHead Cafe is a relatively new and small
restaurant that mainly serves bbq but actually has quite a broad menu, which
includes nachos, hot dogs, burgers, salads, sandwiches (including Poboys), etc.
When I get there, in the early afternoon, it is busy but the waitresses are
efficient and very friendly.
I start with the half
dozen wings ($12.99). They are huge, full wings, rubbed in spices and covered
with a thick fiery BBQ sauce. They are insanely hot, in a peppery way, and I
don't even make it past four.
Fortunately, at that
time my Hog Dog ($11.99) arrives. It is the most famous dish of the restaurant
and it is also huge! The bacon-wrapped huge dog is covered in pulled pork and
slaw and comes on a long fresh bun. It is also very tasty, although the pork
and bun are a bit dry. The slaw is uneventful.
VERDICT: 87/100
This is a quality BBQ place with many original options. It is pricey but worth it. Warning: when they say hot, they mean it!
