Best BBQ brisket we have ever had. They have 4 or 5 sauces that they make that just adds to the experience. Pork ribs are SPECIAL according to the wife ( I let her have them because she gnaws them to the bone.) Something she never does. We have been there 5 times and always look forward to going back. Hey it's a drive but when you want the BEST ! Mount Vernon is a nice little town and if peaches or apples are in season - got a place for that.
My husband and I just discovered Road Hog Willy's and we really enjoyed it. We purchased the sampler with ribs and it was delicious. The brisket, ribs, and, chicken were all fantastic bbq. Make sure you try the corn bread it is amazing! The staff were all super friendly and I was told they remodeled the restaurant recently to be able to seat more customers. We will definitely be back.
I had the two meat platter brisket pulled pork, mac & cheese baked beans. The brisket was good pulled pork was tasty. If you put barbecue sauce on it the mac & cheese kind of looked like it was store-bought aluminum pan baked beans were decent. I'd go there again and try some other things.
Such high-quality food and friendly staff! Highly recommend for any special occasion.
The interior is very nice. It's clean and the service was prompt and polite. My wife very much enjoyed her corned beef sandwich (a Rueben without the sauce and kraut). I had a brisket sandwich, which was good. We'll definitely be back.
Great local BBQ restaurant with daily specials. Nothing better than homemade food and a welcoming staff. We will definitely be back.
Pleasantly surprised. Very large portions. The pork had a good smoked flavor but not over powering. Good sauces too.
Returned with a co-worker for lunch and this time I ordered the ribs. Half-rack about 7 bones. Very juicy and falling off the bone. Great smoky taste and great bark. Very good. Will return to get more ribs, probably.
