Hogs On the Hill

Uninspiring, at best. Service was quick and friendly, food was hot and fresh, just bland.
Pulled Pork, although smoked, seemed to lack a smoked taste. BBQ sauce is a side so you can make it as dry or wet as you wish, but it means the flavor is added rather than imbued as part of the meat. Red Beans and Rice were more like Zatarains Spanish Rice with red beans thrown in. Not «bad» but definitely not good.
Whether you visit or not depends on what you want. Quick, clean and hot means that overall it’s a decent place for a meal.
As a BBQ lover though I wouldn’t come back.

My hopes were high and my dreams of sauce were shattered.
I should’ve read more of the reviews. I was hoping for some charcoal-​grilled, delicious, OMG this makes me so happy BBQ.
NOPE, no, double nope.
I’m not quite sure what I was given, but it made me sad. The rib tips were a strange color and the sauce was even worse. It tasted like vinegar and grief. The macaroni and cheese was like rubber and the yams were brown… probably dumped from a can and heated. The pulled pork was also as hard as a brick and it was shaped like a patty. Huh? Yeah. A patty of pulled pork (say that 3x).
The only good things I can say are… the place looked really clean (probably from lack of traffic… *shrugs*) and they were all friendly. As I type, I’m debating giving an extra star since I have two good things to say, but I don’t want anyone else to suffer and go to bed hungry like I did last night, so I won’t.
Womp.

Experience was great loved the food, and the staff was very nice. I definitely recommend this place.

I went there with my husband to get some dinner, since he loves bbq. It was very clean a lot of open space for dinning in which was great. The woman behind the counter was very pleasant and gave me great descriptions and options for me to choose from. Which is great since I’m always indecisive!
I chose the ribs because of her recommendation and I normally don’t eat ribs… and I instantly fell In love with them! I got mac and cheese along with greens as my 2 sides and the corn bread… all amazing!!! Husband got pulled pork and he devoured it! He also got mac and cheese along with yams and he was very pleased!
Overall… i am a lifer! I definitely recommend everyone to come here. They give a lot of food for a good price, clean, very nice owners, clean bathrooms, and great food!

Love this place, especially the rib tips. Great for snaking when watching the games.

Sadly, the new ownership has not helped this establishment. The restaurant used to be pretty decent. I used to go there to get the «beeeeeeeeeeeef platter» (those who have ordered it before know what I’m talking about) and sometimes the trout. Boyfriend and I ate there recently and it was awful. The portions were ok, but I need to say that when the order taker opened up the fish platter to show it to us a strong fishy order came wafting out. Not good but we had already paid and waited for 15 minutes so we just took our food and kept it moving. When we got home it was even more clear that it was NOT FRESH, not even close. Find another BBQ place… By the way, there is also a strong sewage backup smell coming from the bathrooms… Certain not appetizing as you sit and wait for your food.

I don’t even know WHAT happened here. I arrived at this establishment as soon as it opened, at 11am. I’m thinking that’s probably the best time – everything should be really hot and tasty. I ordered ½ chicken (BBQ sauce on the side), 4 Wings (BBQ sauce on the wings), a side of collard greens & yams and 2 pieces of cornbread. Now the Korean (Asian) individuals that run this joint initially appalled me – but okay, I digress, but I reasoned that they should know what they’re doing…
My order was ready within 15 minutes — that was quick! The Asian lady opened up my containers to make sure I was pleased with everything. But there was an immediate issue; the ½ chicken that I ordered had the BBQ sauce on it, when I had actually ordered the sauce on the side. The Asian male cook looked super pissed b/​c the lady had failed to relay that message to him. She mentioned to me that she’d have to pay for that order out of her pocket… uhmmm, okay.
So they corrected the order and everything certainly smelled good. However… it was the very worst BBQ I’ve probably ever had. The ½ chicken was dry and very miniature in size. The flavor was there, but not much else. There wasn’t an ounce of liquid or juice in the container, just some dehydrated & dusty-​looking chicken. The BBQ chicken wings also looked funny. I’ve visited Korea before & they warn you about dogs being a delicacy. I dunno, my mind immediately went to those canines when I saw those wings — they were so stiff-​looking. I kept trying to tuck the wing part so it’d fit on the plate, but it just keep popping back out & the wings were soooo fragile and meager-​looking. The sides [collard greens lacked seasoning and were not cooked fresh to order. As much collard greens as I’ve had growing up I knew they were at least a day or so old. The yams were okay, sweet and chunky]. The corn bread was soggy on the bottom & a bit sticky on top, again not baked fresh, it had been taken out of a refrigerator.
I tasted a little of everything, but it was not what I was expecting, nor what my cohort was anticipating either. The BBQ sauce was savory however. Cheap food though, everything was less than $ 22.00. But I will keep it moving past this one; you win some, you lose some.

It was ok, in a good way, I feel that the skin on the chicken was a bit tough. My ribs were good and we also had three piece tilapia and fried croaker, tater salad, greens and combo meal came with corn bread. Also had pulled pork and red velvet cake and three mystic type bottled drinks
Fish– 10 dollars; note we got two kinds, nice size pieces, fried well, corn meal crunchy coating, in my opinion could have used a little salt, but easily fixed by me at home with a sprinkling of old bay, I also liked the tarter sauce
Rib and chicken combo– 12 dollars and some change-​large size, I think I had 4 pieces of ribs these were soft, you could taste the smoke, yummy not over powering. Two pieces of chicken good flavor but skin was tough I don’t know anything bout smoking meat… But I watch the BBQ wars so points off for tough skin…
Pulled pork with fries and Mac and cheese– I didn’t eat this, but judging from the teenager who scarfed it down I didn’t hear any complaints good portion of meat, fries looked crunchy and hot (could have used some seasoning on those) as for Mac and cheese… I just don’t like anyone’s Mac and cheese… But no complaints received
Tater salad– good, nice flavor not too much mayo… taste like your aunt made it (the aunt you like) a little salt was needed for me but I add rather add a pinch of salt than have severely over seasoned food any day
Greens– I don’t like vinegar in greens point blank period… And I could taste vinegar in these. But it was subtle not overly done, so I was ok with these but they were real greens fresh not canned or frozen
Corn bread comes with combo, soft texture slightly sweet, me likes and I appreciate it coming with meal and not being an up charge item.
It’s a decent meal not overly priced establishment was clean folks at counter nice.
Note of caution super pothole at entrance/​exit point of lot behind the restaurant so steer clear of that
Has Sunday hours now… I’m going back for some more fish as I’m not much on red meat…

Best place I’ve found to eat in the area so far. Everything made fresh to order and fast. Prices reasonable. Tenders were a bit dry when we got them but the ribs and fish are delicious. Also love the macaroni and cheese. Super friendly staff. Bummed they aren’t open on Sundays!

I ordered the 3 piece fried whiting with collard greens and french fries. Weird combo but I enjoyed every bite. The fish was seasoned and fried well, and they have some really tasty hush puppies I would advise anyone considering ordering from here to try. Speaking of ordering, I advise anyone to call ahead. On a Friday evening business seemed to pick up. The downside, they do not grill their trout/​whiting (all fried) it would be great if they offered a grilled option. Dine-​in is available

All I could say was «yyyyumm» after my meal. The food was delicious and the employees at this establishment were extremely friendly. In regards to parking you just park in the back and they have a good size dinning area if you opt to not do carryout. Overall I had a wonderful experience.

The pulled beef and pork were delicious. We chose dinners with multiple sides. The kids loved the Mac & Cheese and the fries were cut and cooked to perfection… the baked beans while tasty needed to cook just a little longer. With all this amazing food I was a little disappointed they didn’t offer peach cobbler as a dessert… instead they had carrot cake… hmmmm

The food was ok, nothing big to brag about… The skin on the meats were really tough and hard. The side orders (mac & cheese, greens and cornbread) were delicious.

The food here is so good!!! So far I have had Ribs, Chicken, Lemon Pepper Wings, Fried Fish, Pulled pork, potato salad, and collard greens. I tried the mac and cheese once but it wasn’t like mine so it was just okay. Other than that I am hooked and I love the spicy bbq sauce! The customer service is always awesome too!

I’ve been going to this location since I was a teenager. I am 30 now & it’s still my favorite place to eat for dinner or lunch! The owner is such a sweet woman. The food is sooooooo delicious I crave it at work & make the order via phone as I walk from the Metro!

The Food is amazing. Ribs was amazing and chicken wings are even better. Cook with real wood so, you get the amazing smell. I would go there again. The place needs to be remodel. They will be remodeling soon, place will look better so, we can enjoy eating there. Also have amazing pumkin pie.

My family and I have frequented Hogs on the Hill for years. A good local business for barbeque. You can tell that it’s smoked right there. Always tender. Not cooked in sauce because — it’s smoked! Their fries are always crisp and the greens are ok. Great place to go for lunch.

Decent spot for BBQ on the go. I had the minced pork sandwich. It was okay, nothing to write home about. The sauce, however, is something to contend with. I had the hot which was good, thick, and had a nice pepper kick to it without overwhelming the meat. I liked the coleslaw mainly because it wasn’t sweet and topped off my sandwich lovely. Had rib tips also and they were great. Nice and meaty. Had regular sauce which was pretty good.

My mother and I picked up lunch from Hogs on the Hill on a Saturday afternoon. I had eaten their food years ago when I lived in the area.
Hogs on the Hill is a carryout place. However, there are seats for dining inside. Walking in the door, the place smells like smoked barbecue. The menu has several selections.
My mother and I ordered barbecue chicken breast with fries. The meat was not cooked in the barbecue sauce. I was given the sauce on the side. The meat was smoked and tender. It was so salty. I didn’t enjoy it.
If the owners would use a little less salt, the food would have been good. That was my main complaint.

Not many Unilocal reviews for the Clinton/​Temple Hills area, so thought I’d add more for local Air Force folks and guys taking their motorbikes to the nearby Triumph dealership.
HotH was a chain that was split up to individual owners, so there are a half dozen more in the DC metro area. This one was a pretty decent informal BBQ joint. Good shredded pork sandwich and coleslaw. A little plain but not too dingy. Family-​run business with friendly service.
Nothing fancy, but a good place to grab some pork if you’re in the area. Good variety of sodas, including Stewart’s Key Lime.
