It’s the flames that fuel the smoker, tenderizing, and roasting until just the right temperature. It’s the fire that lives in the heart of the chef who meticulously hand-selects seasonal ingredients and pairs them in a way that’s unexpected perfection. It’s the fire that lights the path to faraway lands where spices are brought in by boat and chosen by aroma. It’s the flame that lit the kitchens of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers who hand-wrote recipes and tucked them away for future generations. It’s the fire burning out back for hours upon hours while food is cooked to temperature, with no regard for time or to-do lists. Yes, the soul of barbecue isn’t in any one place. It’s in the fire.

I got the sampler & it was AMAZING! It came with pulled pork, brisket, chicken, sausage, ribs, 2 sides & bread. The meats were so tasty, full of flavor, juicy, and fresh. The barbecue sauce was just right, slight sweetness, slight tang, with a slight bite in spiciness. The macaroni and cheese was creamy. Love the hatch chili cheese grits was delicious! The people working there was so friendly, and so helpful. I couldn’t eat all of my meal, had to break it up into 2 extra meals.

Went there for a lunch for the first time – and just wow! The best brisket I’ve ever had in TN! Very juicy and flavorful! You are offered the option of lean or marbled meat cut when you order – which was very helpful! Sides were amazing too! And I liked their soda – it was not too sweet as popular brands. Definitely will be back!

Hopwood was really good! Sometimes, it can be tough to make BBQ quick, but they did a great job. The food was really good and I strongly enjoyed the craft soda. I had the Mac n cheese and the beans as sides, and I liked both of them. The Mac n cheese was perfect topped with their BBQ sauce! At the end of your meal they even give you a moon pie!

I read the reviews…doubted what I read…and gladly admit that I was wrong! Seriously…this place is legit, with some of the absolute best food I’ve ever eaten. Food quality was superb, taste was incredible, cooked perfectly, and the staff was amazing. I’d give this place 6 stars if Google would allow me. Do yourself a favor, and go throw down on some dang good ‘cue!!!!

I recently dined at Hogwood BBQ, and I must say, the experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was attentive. What stood out most was the food – while it’s a BBQ joint, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the dishes weren’t overwhelmed by an overly smoked taste. This subtle approach to smoking allowed the natural flavors of the meats to shine through, resulting in a delightful and satisfying meal. The consistency in both service and flavor makes Hogwood BBQ a standout choice for anyone looking for a delicious BBQ experience.

Overall, this place was alright. Cool atmosphere, staff were very friendly. Food came out quick. Sandwich was barely warm, I like my food hot. The sandwich tasted good but was almost cold. The grits weren’t the best. I’d come back and try something different. The sauces were good, though the spicy red wasn’t spicy.

It’s a very decent BBQ joint. Loved the sodas on “tap”, food was good but not exceptional. Prices are very fair for what you get. Banana Pudding was the star. Did love that while we ate someone dropped off free Moonpies, very sweet!

That’s good Q, real good Q. Doesn’t look from the outside like it would be good Q since it’s it a strip mall, but I’m telling ya, that’s real good Q. In fact, all the meats were so good I can’t even tell you which is the best. Sauce was very unnecessary, but delicious as well. Kale slaw is wildly delectable and those ice box pickles made my day.

Loved this place!! Above and beyond helpful/courteous staff, clean and cute appearance, and best of all: awesome BBQ!! I got this potato there, it was excellent. It had 3 or 4 sauces on it and lots of BBQ inside. Several people in our group got ribs and enjoyed them.
