August 4, 2011 Hoggys' would like to thank Columbus Alive! for letting their readers know about our 20th Anniversary and our expanded menu. Now, there really is something for everyone at Hoggy's, from summer salads that satisfy to scrumptious seafood to the most intense BBQ experience available: Kansas City Burnt Ends. To make our Kansas City Burnt Ends, we start with chunks of brisket, dusted on all sides with our made-from-scratch signature dry rub. Then, we smoke the brisket chunks over locally-sourced Ohio applewood for the most authentic taste of Heartland BBQ around. We serve them with our signature Sweet BBQ sauce, but try dunking them in our Horsey Sauce. Now, that's Hoggy's Style! You can read the review here.

Hoggy's 20th Anniversary Special Announced June 22, 2011 Hoggy’s Restaurants and Catering is proud to celebrate its 20th anniversary on June 27, 2011. From humble beginnings at our original location in Linworth, our guests have responded to our slow-smoked BBQ with locally-sourced applewood and made-from-scratch side dishes, allowing us to open additional locations in Central Ohio, Cleveland and Cincinnati. “Rather than rest on our laurels from the last 20 years, we chose instead to continue offering fresh, new menu items that exemplify the best of today’s BBQ restaurants. New appetizers, fresh and healthy salads, burgers with an authentic smoke ring and entrees you wouldn’t expect to find at a BBQ restaurant are now available at Hoggy’s,” said Ken Smith, one of the owners of Hoggy’s. Mark Turner, also an owner, concurred: “Today’s best BBQ restaurants offer both Baby Back and St. Louis Ribs for the BBQ connisseur, along with brisket, chicken and pulled pork. But, we raise the bar even higher at Hoggys. Crab cakes drizzled with a lobster sauce and Mahi Mahi with a roasted corn salsa provide the menu diversity that allows everyone to have their favorites, all at one restaurant: Hoggy’s.” Bring a guest and celebrate 20 years of good times and great food with our “Dinner For Two” entrée, available from June 27th-July 1st at an anniversary price of only $20! We welcome opportunities to discuss our 20th Anniversary and our new menu with the media in more detail. Please contact Ray Smith, Director of Marketing at 614-484-0097 to schedule interviews.

We would like to thank The Dispatch for the article on Hoggy's and all their support over the years. Stop in to a Hoggy's and try one of our new menu items. At 20, we're just getting started!

October 13, 2010 Hoggy's Restaurants and Catering was invited by Mix 106.5 FM in Cleveland to compete against Bubba's World Famous Barbeque & Catering for the title of "Favorite BBQ." The contestants were listeners who have dined at the restaurants and were familiar with the BBQ. Maybe it's because Hoggy's starts with the highest quality meats we can find. It's what we would expect with premium slow-smoked barbeque, so that's exactly what you receive every time you dine at Hoggy's. Maybe it's our signature dry rubs, made from scratch in each of our kitchens. They perfectly complement each cut of meat and, even if it's more costly, there's no other way to achieve maximum flavor in our final product. Maybe it's because we slow-smoke our barbeque meats with local Ohio applewood. To us, it's the best way to capture the taste of the Heartland in our BBQ. You'll know what we mean in the first bite. Maybe it's a combination of all these items, prepared under the watchful eye of our artisan Pit Boss.

Finally, it may be our signature sauces, made from scratch in each restaurant. Fresh equals flavor, and we offer a range of sauces that celebrate the different BBQ regions throughout the country.
