Catered for me twice. They have excellent food!. Service could be better though. And they could also do something about the flies.

The food was so good. The service was great and they were very friendly and we really enjoyed the blues music that was playing.

Very nice people and very good southern smoke barbecue. Nice big place to eat and relaxing while you enjoy some of Arkansas best barbecue. I most certainly will return. Roll Tide

This place is known for its Hog BBQ. So many awards and honors. Unfortunately, we are not pork eaters so we did not try the award winning pork. However, we did order beef brisket meal and pulled chicken salad. Our meal was good. Enjoyed the salad and finished every bite! Hubby a brisket was okay. Lean which he likes but he did taste the smoke in the meat. Beans were great, he said the potato salad was too creamy, meaning too much cream sauce. I thought it was fantastic. Service was quick and friendly. The place is huge, with 3 big rooms to feed the crew! I'm sure the pork is amazing but even if you don't get that you will not be disappointed with there other options.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - we're on our ribs adventure and this rack of ribs was somehow really boring. The ribs didn't taste much by itself so you were eating the sauce for flavor. The meats were soft where portions were falling off the bone but it didn't feel like it was quite tender. So it's a bit odd. Service: 4/5 - quick service but it feels like the cashier thinks she's doing you a favor by taking your order... Ambiance: n/a - ordered food to go. Since the rack was in a bag, it was really hard to eat on the go for us... Value for price: 4/5 - objectively it's good food, reasonable price, with quick service. Just not the best nor most memorable ribs we've had

The beat bbq in Little Rock. I have been going to whole hog as long as I can remember. The bbq is always very good. Everything from the turkey to the pulled pork is good. The service is always very fast and the service is always very friendly .

Driving back to Texas, I was in search for good BBQ and I heard Arkansas was the place. Off the beaten path I found Whole Hog via Yelp and decided to give it a try. Immediately upon pulling up the trophies in the window let me know I found my place. Walking in I was greeted and got right to business. Selection was the half-slab with green beans and Mac. Sides were okay, mac was lil chalky .. green beans could've been seasoned better. The ribs on the other hand were pretty good. Tenderness was okay, flavor profile was there, however I would've like them not sauced to get a true taste. The sauce was solid, not overly sweet with a good tang. I'd definitely pull back up to try other items on the menu
