Hog Rock Bar-B-Q: Savor the Best Barbecue in Wetumpka, AL

This was our first visit to Hog Rock BBQ. Might be out last. Reason being, it was nothing special. The only reason we'd probably go back is for the best onion rings that I've ever tasted!!!!! We ordered the large onion rings and found that it would easily feed 4 for an appetizer. Now for the main review, we got there early because it fills up fast with limited parking. We seated ourselves and was immediately greeted by Hannah our waitress. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu items. I was going to order the Grilled BBQ Chicken Plate until she told me that it is not actually cooked on a smoker or pit. It was boneless chicken pieces cooked on the flattop with BBQ sauce added. I was looking forward to the smoke chicken taste. I ordered the BBQ plate. Even though Hannah said it was cooked on the PIT, it didn't have the smoked flavor I was expecting. It was kinda bland to me. Not saying it wasn't eatable, it was just bland to me. The baked beans were Ok but kinda tasted like a canned bean with BBQ sauce added. The corn on the cob was good for boiled corn. We also had the small rib plate. The ribs tasted good but lacked the needed smoke flavor. The mac & cheese and potato salad was also good. The interior was nothing special either. One word to describe it, OLD. But we didn't expect anything different. It appeared clean. The prices were very reasonable especially for the amount of food you're given. We brought home about half of our meal to enjoy later in the day. All in all, it wasn't a bad experience at all... Again, the onion rings area must try if you visit.

Food and service were excellent at a good price. The restaurant itself needs a lot of maintenance when it comes to replacing light bulbs and ceiling tiles.

Best onion rings, ever!!! And I've had lots of onion rings and I'm a connoisseur. Barbecue was good as well.

Homemade Onion rings were Amazing! Large was more than we two could eat! BBQ was Delicious! Okra was very good! Waitress was extremely Nice! Thank You!

The mashed potatoes are the best ever. The service is great and the BBQ ribs are tender and wonderful. You have to go early or late to get a table. It apparently is a local favorite. The Banana pudding is unbelievable. This restaurant isn't fancy but the food should be 5 star. This is an amazing down home place. Just go hungry because the servings are huge and the ribs are very large. One huge rib is a normal serving size but order several because you aren't going to be happy with just one. Casual dress and large choices. Prices are very reasonable.

We walk in and usually sit where we want to.The waitress brought our drinks and took our order really quick.The food was out quick and was simply delicious especially the grilled chicken and BBQ.This restaurant is decorated in an older fashion.The building isn't a modern work of art but is perfect as a country home cooked meal setting. A+

The typical Southern BBQ joint with the out of this world BBQ! Service is punctuated with "Sugar or Honey" and you'll probably be told to have a blessed day! The environment is like it should be and is in so many lil' place across the South!

Stopped into this place after paddling down a river and I was frikkin starving. I came to the right place. Portions were absurdly huge. I went in with maximum hunger and left with a to go box after filling completely up. Prices were great, pork plate was delicious, and they have corn nuggets...which adds at least 1 star to any review. Who doesn't love corn nuggets? Quick service, huge portions, good solid bbq and friendly people...and corn nuggets. Also they sell stew by the gallon. Who does that? This place. That's who. Go there you won't regret it.
