The Hawg Pit Bbq - Grafton

One bartender was rude and no one wanted her to wait on them

Really hate to leave this review, but here goes. Smoked wings, in the regular BBQ sauce, were delicious. The loaded baked potato was lacking. The queso, the pulled meat, and bacon were scarce on the potato. My wife rated the potato a 7 out of 10. I would rate it more like a 5.5 out of 10. The pulled chicken is what I actually ordered, but I received the pulled pork on the potato instead. I wanted a pork steak. They were out . They were out of ribs as well. This was also a disappointment... My wife ordered the home wrecker. Well, we never got it. I don't believe we got charged for that, though. The man, i assumed the chef or main cook, told us 20 minutes on the loaded potato. We chose to wait because it was highly recommended. It took 45 minutes. Beautiful eclipse day, about 4:00 in the afternoon, in beautiful Grafton Il. The single employee, at the time (I like this guy, he was trying , was the cook, bartender, and waiter. The only one there , so probably bad timing for us. More staff came eventually. I don't know if it was the owners or employees, but they were all super nice. Will give it another chance in the future, but won't hurry back. When I do go back, if the service is better, I will take this review down and repost a new review. For now, I hope it's just bad timing on a Monday.

Stopped on our way back to our camp. Great pulled pork! Love the beans, so much pork in the beans! Service was great, friendly!

The day we ate there it was a cool autumn day. We ate outside. Service was great, staff friendly. Mix of bikers and cars. The pulled chicken sandwich I ate was so tender and good. The BBQ sauce was good. I absolutely loved their potato salad as my side dish. I've eaten there before, and they are consistently good. Casual atmosphere, great place to eat.

We came here when they were having a giant witch parade and stopped for some BBQ after ziplining. The food was excellent and the service was even better. The cook was busting his butt serving everyone by himself and was super polite and friendly.
