The Whole Hog Cafe evolved from “a hobby that got out of hand.” When Whole Hog founders Mike “Sarge” Davis, Ron Blasingame, and Steve Lucchi entered the 2000 Memphis-in-May World Championship Barbecue…
Portion size was phenomenal for the price! Wow! I could get 3 meals out of my 2 meat plate. Baked beans were hot, buns were soft and tasty, I got the pulled pork and chicken, didn't need the bbq sauce they had so much flavor but had to try it anyways. Side Mac & Cheese was creamy and not watered down like in some places. Will definitely be ordering again. Fudge Brownie was chocolatey and chewy just how I like them. Yum! 10/10

I ordered the 2-meat combo. Both of my protein selections were generous-the sliced brisket was moist, the the ribs were meaty, the potato salad was good but the greens were really excellent! If haven't tried them yet, give them a go!

Everything was delicious. The brisket was tender, juicy and flavorful. The smoked sausages were dynamite, potato salad didn't need anything. It was fantastic.!!  Mac & cheese needed a little bit of seasoning and the greens just a pinch of salt, but the flavors were all delicious! I ordered a kids meal with an extra side because I didn't want huge portions and we're just traveling through for the night but I still have leftovers...!

I got the two meat combo with the jalapeno cheddar sausage, the brisket, and I added a side a ribs and it was everything they said it would be. This was my first time eating at the whole hog but I promise it won't be the last and it was well worth the price!!!! I definitely suggest it to all you BBQ lovers. Can't forget the Mac and cheese and the greens were super good too, Mac and cheese was super cheesy!!!! Loved it!!!
