  This is a great BBQ restaurant and bar hangout with live music!
  One room is the restaurant and the other room is a full bar with dance floor & stage area.  And from what the bartender says, they're soon to expand  and add another room!
  
  We went to see a friends band play, Sherlock Ohms, which was great! But this place is also known for winning the ALLIGATOR RON'S ANNUAL WINGSFEST competitions at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds for several years!
  
  This place gives you the feel of being in the country with hay stacks & saddles to sit on, and decorated country style.  The staff is very friendly and its reasonably priced.
  We ordered the dry BBQ chicken wings with fries which was fantastic & definitely cured any chicken wing craving!
  Will definitely be back to try more!

  We came here for lunch originally planning  to go to a different restaurant in the same strip that turned out to be closed for vacation.
  
  This is definitely a kitschy decorated place  with lots of dead stuffed animals and cattle skulls on the walls between all the other cowboy stuff. In the ladies room, even, there are mini saddles covering the wall mounted toilet paper rolls while extra rolls are threaded on a metal spur like holder. It's a bit much. Connected through an open doorway is a bar area that looks like it holds events.
  
  The menu is large. There are cutesy names for things -- for example,  the sides are called "fillers" and the kids menu is for "little hogs". You'll either like this or find it cloying.
  
  I decided to have their half rack of ribs. It is just the ribs. They are meaty and were 5 in the order. They were plainly smoked. There are 3 sauces on the table (2 were in red and yellow containers that we assumed were ketchup and mustard). Sauces are sweet (which was very sweet), tangy (a touch of vinegar in a thinner sauce base), and spicy (which was only slightly). The ribs were okay.
  
  My husband had their pulled pork platter. It came with Texas toast (a thick piece of buttered garlic white bread) and two sides. It say one side plus coleslaw on the menu but, he chose collards and baked beans. The collards were good, but a very tiny bit. The beans were sweet but seemed from the can. They need a bit more "doctoring" for my taste. The pork was okay -- a bit wet -- and better with some liberal addition of sauce.
  
  It wasn't a bad meal, by any means, just that there's so much competition now for good bbq and we've had a whole lot better in many other restaurants. I'm glad we came, cause now we know.

  I came in with a friend last week and was excited to try The Hog. Long story short, if you can't smell the BBQ, it's probably not a good sign.
  
  I ordered the platter that came with a little bit of everything. Two ribs, a scoop of the pulled pork, two wings, mac and cheese, and coleslaw. Everything just tasted meh. I will say I thought the pulled pork was decent but I wouldn't rave home about it. Nothing tasted fresh and if you've had good BBQ you'll be let down. I had to pour so much sauce just to get it to taste like the BBQ I normally make.
  
  The prices are great, however, the food lacks in flavor and for that, I can't give anything above two stars.

  Well we still had that hankering so we  wound  up at Spanky's hog in pompano .
  it was delicious but it was with Swiss cheese I believe. So very good . I only asked for lettuce don't like  onions and shrooms.

  Quiet country themed place, food was pretty good, prices are even better. Staff is very friendly and attentive, I like that.  We have eaten here a couple of times and always leave satisfied.
