Hole In the Wall BBQ

We ad the 2 meat plate ($ 12.95) and the turkey sandwich ($ 12.95). The two meat plate included the pork and chicken dark meat and the turkey sandwich was turkey, bacon, cheddar, Swiss, and regular sandwich fixings. As far as the bbq plate the pork is standard moist, tender, crisp outside. The dark meat chicken was great! Moist and tender yet crispy skin on the chicken quarter leg. Everything arrived promptly the Mac and cheese was runny but the potato salad was great. The turkey sandwich was very good. Great service as well.

Everything was good except the catfish!!! Slimy very fishy taste! They need to cut out the gray part that makes it that way. As far as slimy I have no idea. They need to find out how Texas Roadhouse does theirs because it’s amazing!!! The service and staff was very nice.

Very impressed with this joint. We were greeted warmly from the get go and were walked through the faux rock arches into the dining room which had booths and what looked like a stuffed cougar. Drinks and bread came quickly and the server answered all of our questions. I ordered the half chicken and my SO ordered a few vegetarian sides and a salad. The food was brought out pretty fast and tasted fresh. The chicken was especially tender and smokey. In fact, at this particular moment, I’m doing my best to restrain myself from walking over the fridge and eating the leftovers.

This review is for the breakfast… Awesome Eggs Benedict and croissant French toast! Subbed the brisket for the ham for a Bully’s Beef Brisket Benedict and it was BOMB! Highly recommended!!! The almonds were a nice touch on the French Toast and the orange Bourbon was light. Definitely will be coming back often!

They know how to treat their meat! Brisket and ribs super tender and full of flavor – I dream about them… Good house made bbq sauce but meat is so good on it’s own, no need to drown anything. Love the cheesy Texas potatoes as well. Some of the best bbq I’ve had in Oregon.
Read some review about «bible thumpers» having prayer meetings there or something like that, which I was concerned about… didn’t want to endure anything like that but didn’t see anything like that when there; very relieved. Restaurants should be where you eat fabulous food – not where you go to be annoyed by bigotry. I believe that’s why they invented churches.

Service was good, friendly. Food was mediocre. Smoked turkey was good, brisket was dry, portions were small. Macaroni & cheese was not like mom makes, kraft mac & cheese would have been better. Cole slaw was bland. Cute concept, but I would not recommend this restaurant or go back.

We had Delish Dish (Pony Express Delivery) deliver food from Hole in the Wall BBQ and the food was awful it was so dried out we couldn’t eat it. I called Hole in the Wall BBQ the manager I spoke with was an ass. He tried to tell me it was good and moist when it left his restaurant. There was no apologies just an ass that his food couldn’t have been like that and told me to call Pony Express which is only a delivery service. I will never eat from here again!

I have eaten here several times. My girlfriend always gets a double order of the Texas potatoes instead of a different side. They smoke all their meat in the back in 2 very large smokers. Brisket is some of the best around. Ribs are so tender they fall off the bone & you almost don’t have to chew. Pulled pork, hot links & chicken are also tasty. HITW makes it own BBQ sauce and have won several awards and they have enough flavors to suit most people. If you want take out it usually takes less than 5 minutes and tastes way better than fast food.

We have eaten at the West 11^th location several times but this was our first visit to the Mohawk HITW. We came for a late lunch and I was thrilled to find our breakfast was available till 2:00, since breakfast is my favorite meal, eligible for consumption 3 times a day. I ordered the Haystack Hashbrowns with brisket, pepper jack (but request a ½ portion of the cheese), and eggs over easy, which I promptly moved on top of the Haystack and broken the yolks for maximum seepage into the potatoes and meat. Delightful! My spouse had the Q Tater with brisket — very good, but would have benefitted from a ½ cheese request as well. As a super bonus, they serve diet Dr Pepper, so that was a win! Service was speedy and very pleasant. Overall, we’ll be back and definitely at a time when breakfast is available.

We love this place. The bartenders pour a good drink, too. Win/​Win! The Springfield location is open on Sundays, unlike the Unilocal app states, because we just called and are heading there now.

Just ok. The prime rib alone lacked flavor. Needed the au jus and horseradish sauce. It was very tender and cooked to order. bbq beans were lackluster. The mac n cheese tastes like kraft brand. Small selection of craft beer. The clam chowder was good. The bbq pork sandwich needed the extra sauce. The triple berry ala mode was super tiny for $ 5. Nice waiter though.

Great prime rib, nice people, very clean. Great value. We will be back. I’d like to see a larger selection on tap, but that is not a huge negative, the food definitely offset that. I liked it.

We chose HITW over several of our favorite places for Sunday Breakfast because we were looking for «special». We have always been satisfied and saved HITW as a treat.
Buckle in! Let’s get this review started…
The tall guy who greeted us was the best part of HITW’s repertoire.
Fresh fruit, green salad and their signature ranch dressing was the highlight of the meal.
Country potatoes were cold and unseasoned. They were as brown as old shoe leather and just as tough.
«Scrambled» eggs were dry and rubbery with a thin skin of greasy, partly melted cheese.
Bacon was cold and neither crisp nor soft… more like oily jerky.
When the grill kissed the ham it sucked the moisture out of it.
Smoked sausages made Farmer John’s or Jimmy Dean look gourmet. Heavily coated in oil or rendered fat. Either way… EW
I don’t do biscuits and gravy so I’ll save my acid comments for the rest of the «meal» (as I have plenty of them)
Sliders were indistinguishable from pork or chicken. Either way they were bone dry with a weird yellow hew/​goo to them. And the bun was hardening old fashioned dinner roll.
Their chicken enchiladas had a great homemade flavor but there was no sour cream or salsa to accompany them.
They had warm dollar-​pancakes and waffle quarters ($ 1.25 is what this meal shoulda cost LOL). Waffles were limp and rubbery. Pancakes reminded me of those little frozen Eggo pancakes. All you were offered as topping was a coffee carafe of «butter» (AKA liquid margarine… REALLY?!) and another coffee carafe of warm syrup. Where’s the strawberries and whipped cream?!
And…WHAT?! LASAGNA!!! Way too much pasta. No cheese except on top. And the flavor… bland, one note… just ground beef and acidy tomatoes. Can you say Stoffer’s?
Dinner rolls were available but the bowl they were in was tightly sealed with plastic wrap… maybe they were decoration.
Never fear, they had eggs Benedict!!! Yeah me!!! Um, no. the were built on biscuits! What happens when you pull a perfectly soft poached egg outta water and place it on a warm steamy biscuit and then top it with bland, broken yellow goo (AKA hollandaise… or I think that’s what that was)…you get a big PUDDLE of goo. Biscuit was a soggy paste. I tried to pick mine apart to eat the ham and egg but it the biscuit/​Hollandaise goo stuck to everything.
Fine, at least there was desert right?! Yeah… desert. Their deserts reminded me of the local Chinese buffet… packaged (and dried out) scones and cinnamon rolls, grocery store cookies, nursing home pudding and a very sad attempt at a shortcake (little squares of pound cake, which looked like they’d been artfully dolloped with whipped cream and drizzled with berry juice hours ago).
Bloody Mary’s were tasty. I asked for mine extra spicy. The guy proudly placed my drink in front of me touting the Pinnacle Habanero Vodka. All I can say is I hope we didn’t pay extra for that. I was expecting flames and I got squeeze-​and-​shake-​pocket-​warmer hot.
And lastly our Server was apathetic. Never offered water or coffee, only beverages. Took forever to bring the check or take our debit card. And, yeah I tipped her but only 10%. She wasn’t horrible just another lack luster feature in an otherwise expensive morning.
Thank goodness for my hubby… the company was truly the best part of the morning.
So, Did I speak to management about this? No, on this occasion I kept my mouth shut at the restaurant. I didn’t want their patronizing glares or a free meal for my experience. I ate their food or should say tasted it… my «finished» plates where still full when they were cleared. I however, I didn’t walk away with an empty belly even if my soul was starved.
I’m not certain where the quality, effort and ambiance went but I don’t think I’ll be back to find out. Sorry HITW.

Pretty good barbecue. The sauce was very good as was the pork. The brisket was average However. Why is good brisket so hard to find?

I had some really good brisket in here, and the sides were pretty good too. But…
The sides you get are seriously small. I ordered the potato casserole and BBQ beans and they both looked like they had scooped ¼ cup into the tiny dishes they were in.
Very tiny sides are one thing you do not want to see at a BBQ place.
Service was good, if a bit uncommunicative with each other. I felt like I was being tag teamed all night by two different servers. I’d give one some input, then have to repeat it to the other a few minutes later.

Hole in the wall was one of our weekly take out spots until recently. Its right around the corner and the food, in general is very good (except the green beans, i usually love green beans but they are consistnetly nasty at hole in the wall)
We planned to use hole in the wall to cater our wedding, but after the abysmal service we have had the last 3 visits we will be going somewhere else from now on.
The first incident, we ordered our food and were told certain items were only available for dine in. This was stated nowhere on the menu or eebsute. We ordered and arrived about 10 minutes later. We paid for our food and waited… and waited. 20 – 30 minutes later our food was ready.
The second time, we waited a little longer to leave and our food was ready in about 10 minutes. We thought «great! Wait half an hour before we come in and it will almost be ready.» So we waited 45 minutes the next time. Before going in.
When we arrived we waited 10 minutes for an employee to even address us. Then we were told our food had been thrown away because they didnt think we were coming.
The employee was unapologetic; but when we mentioned the prevjous 2 incidents she explained it was their policy not to prepare the food until you arrive to pick it up. She then said it should only take about 5 minutes unless you order fries, which have to be ccoked. Everything else is on warmers. This did not explain our previous half our wait.
We were never offered an ap I’ll ogy for our lobg waits, let alone a free drink as another reviewer states she recieved.
This place is terrible for service and disrespectful to its customers. Why bother taking our number for a takeout order if you are just going to throw the food away without contacting the orderer. Of they had simply said «we want your food to be warm, so we wont get it ready until you get here» we wouls have been totally finee with that.
Dur to their lack of professionalism, we’ll be finding some ok né else ro cater our wedding. How are we supposed to trust you with our wedding dinner if yku cant even handle a takeout order for two people.

My Aunt and Cousin and I went her on Friday for my Birthday. I chose this place because of its proximity and because I really like their smoked meats.
Dinner was pretty good, and I do like the staff! Zack was our server and he was pretty funny, like a free floor show with dinner! My Aunt and I had the ¼ chicken and my cousin had the beef brisket. My sides were the green beans and a salad. The barbeque sauce is kept at the table, and I’m quite fond of their brisket sauce. The salad had a kind of southwest-​y dressing, which was excellent. My green beans were very good, too. My cousin had the potato salad (I’ve had hat before and I didn’t like it) but he liked it as well as the macaroni and cheese. We cleaned our plates thoroughly, and the price point is appropriate with the quality.
I’ve been there for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but this was my first Birthday there. Zack insisted I choose a dessert to take home with me since I was too stuffed to eat it there. So, for breakfast I had their berry crumble, and darn if it wasn’t great!
I’m not fond of the plastic plates, and the décor is partly great and partly silly (the fake waterfall room)! But the service has always been friendly and fun and I say — go!

Very friendly. I was told my togo order would take longer than usual because of a large party… so to make my wait a little more bearable I was offered a drink. A little lagniappe that was greatly appreciated.
I ate my half chicken order In the car like a wild animal… No napkins or utensils were provided but they probably assumed I was not a gluttonous blob.
The chicken had a nice smoked flavor. The Mac and cheese was unremarkable. The green beans would have been better is they were bacon based but they weren’t bad… kinda squeaky.
I got the regular hot sauce. It was had a distinct vinegar flavor. I love vinegar.
The sweet corn muffin, here is where it gets Interesting. I usually just toss these out after one bite. I don’t care for sweet cornbread… But this was called sweet corn Muffin… I didn’t feel as Insulted as usual. I planned to use it as a hand wipe, but Folks, it was pretty good. Buttery, sweet and greasy.
Good job.

Wow! The service was extraordinary! I left feeling full and satisfied. Great portions for the price. I will come back again and again just for the service alone! Truly impressed!

This is by far a «sleeper» when it comes to breakfast.
I’ve been here probably 5+ times in the span of 1 ½ months. My first visit was a good one. My boss took me and the rest of our sales team to breakfast here. We all started off with a Blood Mary. The Bloody Mary’s at this place are some of the best I’ve had since living in PDX. Really tasty drink with Green Olive, Pepper Jack and Sausage garnishment. On the rim they use some type of a Cajun seasoning, or Smokey Paprika salted mixture, which beats the hell out of the traditional salted rim.
The food here isn’t a culinary dream, but it’s good food and worth every penny. The only thing I can really knock is the Brisket. I’ve had much better, but really… I get it every time.
Haystack Hash browns are awesome. They stack either Pulled pork or Brisket and then pile up Hash browns, eggs and your choice of cheese melted on top. I thought it was a little small portion wise, but it was completely filling, so it’s pretty deceiving.
My favorite is the 2 Egg Breakfast. 2 Eggs, Your choice of meat, and you get to choose 2 sides to go with it. I normally get the Hash browns and the Biscuits and Gravy. B&G is really good. Biscuits are flaky, taste like they were freshly made. The gravy is rich and flavorful, as it should be.
Sundays this place will have a brunch. I personally am a bit of a Brunch snob, normally the quality of food starts to slip with buffets. My wife tried the buffet out, and she was pleased. Pork sliders, ribs, pancakes, pastries, sausage, eggs, waffles, and desserts are all available. ***KIDS UNDER 12 $ 5…KIDS UNDER 5 are FREE*** That’s one hell of a deal. My 11 year old was able to eat as much as he wanted for $ 5, and our semi picky daugther pecked at her plate full of eggs and pancakes and we didn’t have to pay a dime for her. That right there is a deal. Bloddy Mary’s are $ 4.50 and Mimosas are $ 3.50. Another good deal!
I would never expect this place to be a solid breakfast joint, but it is. Much more solid than some of the places who are already known for early AM eats.
If you’re into a Country/​Western settings or even hunting deer, ask to sit in the Trophy Room. They have about 7 head mounts of Mule deer and they’re pretty impressive racks. My father, the avid hunter, already loves this place after just 1 visit and that’s strictly because of the décor.
Give it a run, check it out, completely worth the visit.
