HOG WILD PIT BAR-B-Q REVIEWS

Hot BBQ is the name of the game at Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q. Decent smoked bbq with good value is what I found here. I had the Carolina style and the pulled pork was soft and moist. The bun was really soft and had a good flavor. The baked beans had their own unique flavor and so did the sauce selection. If you want hot and fast bbq, check this place out!.

We had catering delivered to Shawnee Lake shelter house for a family reunion. Delivery was prompt, professional and courteous, setup was awesome with everything we needed, food was excellent! Definitely took the stress off of the planning!.

Wow! What a great place for Ribs and pulled Pork. Stopped for lunch and not disappointed. Had one Rib on the side with my pulled pork sandwich. .Check it out if in Topeka,KS.

DICKEY'S BARBECUE PIT TOPEKA REVIEWS

Stopped in for dinner and was immediately greeted with a smile, wave and"Welcome to Dickey's". I went to the bathroom to wash my hands first, nice and clean facilities. Restaurant overall was very clean. I walked up and they had an assembly line of 3 people, one who did the meats, 1 did the sides and 1 rang me up and asked if I would like a drink. All of them were very friendly, the service was fast and the food was delicious. I always make it a point when service is exceptional to let people know! The world needs more kindness like this, thank you!.

I love this bbq!! My honey had never been to a Dickeys BBQ before, and I recommended we try it, he absolutely loved it and I did as well! The 2 ladies there were so friendly and helpful we really enjoyed our lunch!!.

Beautifully seasoned brisket. The potato salad was out of this world! Really friendly staff and a clean establishment.

J ROCKS SMOKE HOUSE REVIEWS

Best Catfish I've had ever. J Rocks is my go to restaurant for Fried Catfish, sweet potatoes and mac n cheese. For my hubby he enjoys their French Fries and Fried Okra with his Catfish. The portions are huge and usually make 2 meals for me. All their other offerings look so good and one day when I'm not craving their super delicious, perfectly seasoned and fried catfish, I will venture into trying everything else that is offered.

The food is delicious and it was nice to see that instead of their children siting around watching the parents work they were working as well and was doing a wonderful job at it this was my first trip to Kansas but I will make sure that I come oh yea and the food again was so Delicious. Thank you for Everything.

I love me some J Rocks. I was craving a smoke sausage sandwich and this one didn't miss, and the greens on point like always. Only feedback is, being a Louisiana native I'm use to my sausage being on a hotdog bun. I was losing pieces trying to devour this sandwich.
