What People's Say About Place

Stopped by Boss Hog’s Chicken & BBQ in Washington, NC and it did NOT disappoint. The pulled BBQ was tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, you can tell it’s done right and not rushed. The green beans and cabbage tasted homemade, seasoned perfectly with that true Southern style. Everything had that “Sunday after church” comfort food vibe. And don’t skip dessert. The pie was the perfect finish! RIch, layered, and topped with whipped cream. Absolute win. If you’re looking for legit Southern BBQ with classic sides done the right way, this spot delivers. We’ll definitely be back.

Friendly staff, great food and fixings. Banging Iced tea. Reasonable priced. I will be back to try some more.

A friend of mine took me here for Christmas it was terrific. I prefer the 'Eastern North Carolina' barbaque sauce which is vinegar not tomato based and Boss Hogg's delivers. The in store display (think Panda Express) shows you exactly what you'll get. Every meal comes with hush puppies and I also got baked beans and some kind of potatoes. The baked beans had peaches in it and were delicious (after I picked out the peaches! I am a Yankee after all) The potatoes were good but I don't eat very much at 1 time so I concentrated on the BBQ pork. The picture of my plate was taken AFTER I completely stuffed myself! For me it was enough for 3 meals. My friend got a fried pork chop that was excellent. The staff was super friendly (I am glad to live in the south again). It's moderately priced. The check was $35 for the 2 of us but we actually got 5 servings so I think for the ambience, service and food it's a good value. Highly recommended!

Good old plain menu,but enough for every eater to have options! They are affordable, have daily deals, and I LOVE their utensils are individually wrapped at the tops. No waste of plastic.If you need only a spoon you aren't throwing out extra things! I had gotten the Pork w Apples,Sweet potatoes, green beans and Hush puppies. Hubby got Ribs,Slaw,Potatoes and hush puppies, 2 Drinks and was around $30 with a tip! We will be there at least 2x a month! Bring the kids or alone but trust me you have to go

Best comfort food down east! Food is priced well, orders are always right, and delicious. The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The fried okra and Mac and cheese are perfect! Top it all off with banana pudding and you should find yourself in a heavenly food coma. Highly highly recommend!

I was back in North Carolina and had to get my fill of Carolina BBQ. This place is one of my favorite spots. Their pork is amazing. I do not have a favorite side because all of them are delicious. This time, I selected the Brunswick stew, collards, buttered potatoes, and cabbage.

We came in just a few minutes before closing. The food was fresh and staff was pleasant and fast. Great selection too

Cozy restaurant with many food options. Mac and cheese is good and the Yams are delicious!
