Hog Heaven Bar B Que - Durham

Good eats for cheap in a dive of a bbq joint with excellent fried chicken and delicious chopped bbq. Fried okra was awesome, green beans were clearly from the can.

Excellent bar-b-que at a great price. Loved the home made banana pudding. Sorry Mamaw, better than yours.

Hush puppies were awesome. Pork chop good. Fried catfish and flounder good. Pulled pork ok. Where was th BBQ.

Good, but with room to improve.. I am new to NC BBQ, so I will defer to the accurate and detailed descriptions in other reviews. Hog Heaven is on par with the other BBQs I have tried. The basic tray has good meat, but too flat on it's own. Vinegar sauces are on every table for a reason. I like a little sweet and a lot of spicy. The sides I had were lackluster (smashed potatoes and applesauce). The service was nice. The location is a bit out of the way for me. Overall, I didn't fall in love, which is the reaction you should have to great BBQ, in my opinion. I don't get the sense that they want to be any better than they are, a shame because with a little innovation thrown into the mix they could be the best.

Nice Barbecue. You really can't call this place a BBQ joint because it is too nice and clean inside functional, but nice. They serve some really good food, and not just the chopped pork. The place is small, but there are dozens of tables, fairly close together, so it can get noisy at times.<br/ <br/ You place your order and pay at the front window (they also hava a drive thru), fix yor drink at the fountain, grab a seat, and the food will be brought to you and usually pretty quickly for most items the fried seafood takes longer.<br/ <br/ The chopped pork is typical Eastern NC BBQ tender, not over chopped, and lightly sauced out of the kitchen a touch of the vinegar based sauce adds some nice kick. This is above average Eastern BBQ, not in the very elite class, but close.The slaw is a a touch sweet, wetter than I care for, and has bits of carrot in it tends to mask the good flavor of the pork. The small plate is $6.75, large $7.35 each with 2 sides.<br/ <br/ The Rib Plate (on Tuesday) is large, filled with falling off the bone meat. The sauce is thick and definitely on the sweet side. You get 2 sides and hush puppies with the plate for $7.25. The Fried Chicken is crispy with plenty of salt and pepper seasoning, really nice.<br/ <br/ The Fried Okra and Pintos are very good. The Fries are the ridged kind and really don't have much flavor I'd pass on them, better things are available here. They also have some fried seafood items shrimp, flounder but I've yet to try them. The service here is excellent , friendly and attentive. If you have a chance to try Hog Heaven, don't pass it up.
