Hawg N Sauce — Restaurant in Mount Vernon

From out of town and traveling for work so I decided to try this place after I got off Friday. It seemed nice enough driving by. The Hostess was disappointed that I was eating alone, apparently you're not supposed to go out to eat unless you have company? She seats me right in front of the staff so the entire staff was just staring and watching me eat the entire time- awkward and rude. The breaded mushrooms were made with pizza topping mushrooms that were frozen which was gross. The ribs were cooked well and I suspect they put the BBQ sauce on them before cooking as it should be, but couldn't tell because they drowned them in BBQ sauce afterwards. Sauce soup with some ribs... what's the point in having BBQ sauce on the tables at this point? Speaking of sauce, it tasted suspiciously just like Sweet Baby Ray's and the coleslaw was clearly premade from a bag. If they can't even make their own sauce and coleslaw they have no right calling themselves a BBQ joint. If the food wasn't subpar enough, the staff was running around more concerned about wether an empty table had salt and sugar packets than they did about checking on the tables with customers. They'd take turns walking into different rooms, peaking over everyone like prairie dogs only to turn around and go back without talking to anyone, nonstop. The only time I was asked how the food was, was before I even took a bite of the main course. Halfway through my meal the server puts the cheque on my table which is just straight up rude and offensive as if they wanted me out of there. By the end I got so sick of being watched like a hawk and stared at by the staff while I was eating that I took to staring back at them to see how they liked it. They didn't.

Zero etiquette, creepy experience, trash BBQ. 10/10 would...

We walked in, got seated, the server came and took our drink order and I also told her I wanted to make a to go order of 2 lbs of brisket and a dozen rolls~ TO GO !!! The server brought out drinks and took our order of basically 2 baked potatoes, mine was with brisket. After about 10 min my TO GO order showed up followed by our potatoes???? I didn't have a clue why my TO GO order showed up at all right now but to continue without a confrontation we decided to eat very quickly so that I could get my TO GO order home. I ate so fast I couldn't really tell what the brisket tasted like but I did realize that it was VERY RUBBERY, being a Texan I knew right away that they did not soak the slab of beef in a brine solution before cooking which takes care of the rubber situation. Then I noticed a very distinct lack of flavour in which I noticed the collection of sauce on the table. The entire potatoe was in need of alot of TLC before eating it in a rush. Extra cheese was a joke at best but I ate it without a confrontation and paid the bill of $80.00 (JESUS CHRIST) not realizing that ALL of their brisket was cooked the same BLAND RUBBERYWAY. I get home to find that my TO GO ORDER was the same way. I don't know how to fix what I'm left with all I know is that I have 2 lbs of undercooked, unflavored, rubbery meat that even my cat won't eat. And of course I woke up early in the morning to throw up and consider legal mitigation. How can people be swindled for a dozen years with bad food, then on top of that what were they competing against to win awards???? Sounds very haneous to me. Is there any proof to these awards, I will uncover the truth. One way...

Bf and I had been meaning to get here since FOREVER because we had tried some delicious hawg and sauce bbq sauce at the grocery store. WELL GUESS WHAT? Today we finally did and we were NOT disappointed. On our way to Mt Vernon to pick up my brother to dine with us, my bf and I had settled on getting brisket and ribs. The entryway is a little confusing so when we came in we went to the wrong place but the nice young lady checking someone out with their takeout order didn't make us wait and sorted us and we were corrected and at the hostess station within seconds. Our waitress was a great person and we just loved her, she did a great job up-selling us but it wasn't hard I'm sure. We got a half of the special app to split, my brother got the chicken fried steak, my boyfriend got the full rack baby back ribs, and I got the beef brisket. Everyone tried everything. It was ALL delicious. We were then not hard to sell on AT LEAST taking dessert home. My brother had his in house. When my brother's arrived his looked so good I was sold on taking a piece of his home too. I can't imagine any of it being nasty though. My brother had no complaints but I cant comment on the desserts, sorry. Can't wait to go back. But can't do it again soon because lord, the...
