Everything I wanted when I decided on small town BBQ for lunch. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The potatoe salad is probably my favorite BBQ joint potatoe salad Ive ever had. Whenever works sends me this way I will be sure to stop in for a hawgzilla again.

Try the curly fries with Ranch dressing. Also, the hot, fried apple turnovers are excellent for dessert. Friendly staff. I'll have to return to try the pig butt.
