Hog’s Breath Boss Hog Barbeque

We had a good time and good meal. We had their homemade cheese sticks — more like cheese logs. They are huge! Wings were good! Brisket good. Ribs good. Brunswick stew ok. We enjoyed a chill night on the deck. We will be back. Of course we bought tshirts and other trinkets at the store. Everyone should go at least once a trip.

Another local favorite that I’ve heard great things about… let’s see what all the hoopla is about…
Staff — ¹⁄₅: is this right?! Yes. Usually there’s no problems in this department, until now. I dunno if our server was just having a rough day or what but we just seemed sort of abandoned as guests. The person sat us down, took our drinks and then took a while to see them again.
Location– ²⁄₅: The first thing that got me was in the actual restaurant, it seemed bigger than I thought. But here’s where you lost me. It was HOT in that piece. I saw fans were on, but at like 1 MPH… Hot atmosphere + hot food (well, not so hot when it got to us) = Uncomfy guests… checked out the gift shop across the way. Not bad, I guess…
Food — ³⁄₅: Eh… The ribs I described as «tastes like fireworks» — and I don’t mean this well either. You’d think this would mean hot and exploding with flavor — NO. They had a smoky taste but a tad too much smoke. It tasted a bit like the aftermath of a bottle rocket. Baked beans were cold and cole slaw seemed watered down. But the tea was good.
Pricing — ³⁄₅: Eh… a tad pricey… wasn’t really worth it to me.
Overall — ²⁄₅: Not seeing the big deal about this place… maybe it’s because I’m not a local?

We enjoyed a great dinner last night here while in town on vacation. Then have the cutest souvenir t shirts we got to take home for the memories.

The food looked & smelled amazing, but was a little bland. It wasn’t bad though, just needed a little seasoning. The staff was incredible & the place is well maintained. We will be coming back I’m sure.

Just ok. Best part of the meal was my wife’s burger. Just wasn’t impressed by the ribs. Not as meaty and definitely not fall off the bone. And their sauce is just ok. All of them.
Started with nachos with pulled pork. Not bad. But again just ok. Something was just missing.

Best place in Destin. Our server Alexis had perfect timing and anticipated our every need. First place I have ever been where the live music was the correct volume, fun but you could still hear after. The food had kick and was very fresh.

Ok, typical tourist place.

Brisket was really good.
The ribs & beans, not so much.

Another shining example of Destin’s fried cuisine. Passable pulled pork, but skip the ribs (neither tender now flavorful). Try the hot bacon salad, plenty of greens and tasty toppings, though the corn tasted frozen. Hog’s Breath beer was forgettable. Try a cocktail?

Great place to relax have a good meal and throw a few drinks back with friends

This place used to be pretty good. We had a crappy waitress who didn’t seem happy to be waiting tables and was rude. Mozzarella sticks are great, pulled pork was dry. Just average food. Berware of Roxanne!!!

Excellent, great food and nice outdoor seating atmosphere.

Not the best meal this week. I came here with a large group, which may have contributed to our servers lack of attention and generally indifferent attitude. I understand that it’s not the easiest job and generally doesn’t score big bragging points at a High School reunion, but try to do it well if that is your job. The fish sandwich was marginal, the gumbo was ok and that sums it up. The place is well suited to catering the unrefined tastes of the nomadic tourists who haven’t put in any time in researching where the true local gems are located. I would not go here again. No real horror story to back that up, just a general feeling of discontent.
Glenn.

Went here with a big group of friends. I expected the place to be filled with top notch BBQ and seafood. I was wrong. Instead, we got a rude waitress who couldn’t remember who ordered what. And I found out that all their seafood was flash frozen. Gross.
So instead, I got the gumbo and ribs. Both were just average. I could’ve taken it or left it. Either way, I left disappointed. I personally wouldn’t go back. It’s Destin, there are much better places to eat in the area. But if you like flash frozen seafood with rude waitresses and mediocre musical entertainment, this place might be for you.

Great service. Very friendly. That usually won’t equate into an extra star though, and it didn’t in this case either. The Q is average. There are better places to get BBQ in Destin, but we loved the Hog’s Breath beer (brewed specially for them in Melbourne, FL) and service. We tried the Hogzilla sampler. The ribs were dry rub only (not too good), the pulled pork was drier than I like, and I didn’t try the chicken, although the wife said it was very good. I’ve also been told that this is the place to go for a burger. Maybe next time. Overall, it was filling and average. Go try one of their beers and order a small serving of whatever you want to try.

My friends and i went there on a whilm since the other restaurant had a 1 hour wait and we were getting hungry. We were very pleasently surprised that the food was so good (we were there on vacation and ate some really bad food). And what even surprised us even more the Chicken was YUMMY!!! We still talk about the chicken today. Definatly will go again if we are ever around that area!
Nice friend place and the wait staff was very friendly!

Though it’s not the Key West location, I still eat here a few times a week when I’m in town. The food is decent, though the late night menu could stand an expansion. The staff are cool and Hog’s Breath beer is so good. The last time I went in the web cam was off. The waiter explained that times are tough and they’re not getting enough business to keep the web cam going. They didn’t want to show an empty bar. I still think it’s worth stopping in for sure.

Ate here with a small group while on business travel. Not the best BBQ I’ve ever had, but nowhere near the worst. Rather plain interior with quick and efficient service. It does seem a little touristy but the prices were reasonable.
If I get back to this area, I would eat here again.
