Whole Hog Cafe

Last night I was feeling hungry and was on on my way to try out Fevzi's Mediterranean Grill in Cherry Hill but decided to try out Whole Hog Cafe instead. I love BBQ food so I figured why not. In comparison to other BBQ restaurants in the area, I thought they were fairly decent. I spent around $17 for a 2 meat platter that came with 2 sides as well and cornbread. I picked sliced brisket (which was tender and juicy👍🏾) and ribs (they were very small portion size 👎🏾). For the sides, I picked mac and cheese and collard greens. The collard greens were very bland in flavor and tasted like they were cooked in chicken broth and nothing more. I had to doctor the collard greens to eat them and the mac and cheese was soupy and I ended up not eating them. If you are looking for baked mac and cheese, this is not the place to get them. Their mac and cheese was also bland. Now I love cornbread, but I was disappointed with their cornbread. It was mushy and a little gritty in texture. Overall, I was not pleased with the sides at all. The brisket was the winner for me personally. I also liked that they serve 6 different types of bbq sauces: classic mild, tangy & slight spicy, tangy & spicy, southern vinegar & spice, sweet & bold, and Rich mustard & vinegar. I tried all of the sauces except for sweet & bold because they ran out. My 2 faves were the tangy & slight spicy and tangy & spicy sauces. I give this place a 5 out of 10 and that was because of the brisket. I may return in the future to try other items such as their burnt ends (which was sold out yesterday) and other sides. This place is just ok, nothing to write home about. I have had way better BBQ food in the area before.
