Top Hog Bbq - Gainesville

Highly recommend! Everything we ate was delicious. My husband had the poutine with brisket and a smoked sausage, my son had chicken tenders and fries, and I had the pulled pork sandwich with green beans on the side. Excellent service.

First time here for dinner. The place is nice, tables are nicely distanced and it was not crowded at the time we had our dinner. The bbq meats are delicious and tender, especially the ribs and you have options for smaller or larger portion, which is very suitable for different kinds of eaters. Would come back again to try other dishes.

The food was decent although not at all what I would call barbecue. I did not smell one whiff of smoke in the entire place! The wait staff was shall we say disinterested? at best. the prices were okay but everything in there was dated and quite frankly the biggest turnoff was the place was dirty! the floor was dirty, my table was dirty, trash all over the ground outside the front door. The place quite frankly was a mess.

My second visit to Top Hog. On my first visit, I had pulled pork. It was quite good and while it was said to me this is best NC BBQ sauce, it 's not NC; it is good but not Eastern or Lexington BBQ. Tonight, I had the brisket. The sauce with it was a little sweet and very good on the meat. It 's served on the side so you can add as much or little as you like. Both times I 've had slaw that is fresh and has a little bit of finely chopped dark green leafy veggie in it, probably thebest slaw I 've had in a while (I love slaw! . I really like venues with live music and often that is why I 'll go to a specific spot. The music being played this evening is why I left, it was less than appealing. The food is good but alittle pricey, dinner with 1 beer and no dessert was just over $20. I 'll go back.

What can I say other than absolutely delicious! If you haven't been there yet I highly recommend! It's not some bland BBQ joint, it is very flavorful and exceeded my expectations. I didn't even want to go, my husband did. Now I will happily drive the 45 mins just to eat here. I think it's a hidden gem! The drink was delicious also! I think it was called piggy punch. We had friend pickles for appetizer, and I've never had them diced up and fried before, they were amazing also!
