HH is some of the best BBQ we’ve found here. The sauce is a little sweet for my taste actually, but a little bit is pretty tasty with the Q.
The fried chicken is wonderful and juicy and crispy in all the right places. I also like the Brunswick Stew- nice mix of butter beans, shredded pork, potatoes and other veg in a very thick and savory stew. The service really is terrible though. Teenage girls always on the phone and one in particular has a bit of an attitude. Since we’re not much for fluorescent lights and pink cinder blocks anyway, we always get take-out, and that’s worked out quite yummy.

Lastweek it was a 101.00…I think the que is great. I’m not a big chicken person but my friends say it’s the best. I would choose Hog Heaven over everybody else in Durham for que.

Great fried chicken! Can’t speak to the bbq, but the chicken is far better than bullocks; nice spices, very moist, very hot.

Also, along with their 10 commandments sign, they have a signs that say: “We have been through a lot together. Most of it is your fault,” and “God must love stupid people because he makes so many of them.” Two reasons, in my mind, to like the place a little more.

Went here for the first time today, ordered the BBQ sandwich and slaw. Service was very friendly and prompt, pork was nothing special, and I really didn’t like their sauce at all–too syrupy. Too much mayo in the slaw, too. I’d be interested to try some of their other stuff, though. Anybody have anything to say about their Tuesday ribs?

The last time I was at Hog Heaven, their sanitation rating was a B… hmm.

Agreed- the prices are high, but the chopped whole hog (their specialty) is heavenly. Instead of actually dining there, I often call ahead and take out the chopped hog ($10 per pound) whenever I am remotely close to the city and feast on it at home for a couple days.

The Pit is very good (though their chopped is better than their pulled, methinks). It’s insanely expensive for a BBQ place, though.

I need to go back there and try their ribs…
