Hog Tide Bar-B-Que - Willard Mo

"The barbeque was overall okay, the flavors all went together nicely, however the two items I did not like as much were the smoked sausage, and the brisket. The smoked sausage didn't have as much smoke as I would like, and the brisket was very dry. The ribs were great, with amazing flavors that complimented the sauces very well. The pulled pork was a little moist, but it went very well with the toast. Overall the experience was good."

"A mediocre BBQ joint that leaves flavor behind. Ordered two Burnt Ends Platter and was served what could hardly be described as burnt ends but rather wet and soggy meat. The "burnt ends" came out as a borderline soup. For a meat that comes prepared "smoked" there was a definitive lack of smoke within the meat. The Texas toast served also left taste to be desired. Moving on to the sides, we ordered both the potato salad and BBQ beans. The potato salad was more of potatoes covered in mayonnaise but lacked any other ingredients both visually and tastefully. The BBQ beans were decent but shouldn't be the heavyweights of any meal. The sauce was the only decent part of the main meal that kept this review from going below the halfway mark. While we disagree that the "heat sauce" actually contains heat, we can admit that the regular house sauce had flavor too it. Unfortunately with as wet as the meat was, the sauce couldn't quite pull the rest of the meal up from being lackluster at best. TL;DR A lack of flavor and quality control issues rooted this review in disappointment. The sauce is good enough quality to be bottled and sold next to Sweet Baby Ray's but wouldn't land on the top shelf. The price to portion size is about average for the Springfield area."

"BBQ nachos with brisket was phenomenal 10/10 and Im already craving it again for dinner!! Banana pudding is good too. (Mac n cheese was not anything special) but will be coming back ASAP!!! The service and experience can’t be matched. Hands down most friendly staff I’ve experienced."

"1st time ever eating there, we were ignorant to the fact that they were closing as we were pulling up to the drive thru! They were patient with us and took our order. We pull up and the guy tells us they actually were closed, but since I told him this was our first time, he went ahead and wanted to get our order because he didn't want our first experience to be bad! Super awesome people and great customer service. The food was so good! Piled pretty freaking good on my sandwich and the potato salad tasted just like whole hog Cafe in Springfield. So good. The only down fall was probably honestly guys, the sauces! I'm sorry! I like sweet sauce usually, but this was almost like a BBQ glaze, not sauce if that makes sense. And we weren't a fan of the Cali sauce I think he called it? But other than that, get you some BBQ!!"

"We stopped in for a quick lunch prior to a 12 mile bike ride on the Frisco High-Line Trail - so we needed to keep it light. This is a order at the counter, self serve drinks and plastic flat ware in a bag establishment with the menu on the wall like most fast food joints. It's efficient and the friendly engaging staff had the food out to our table in just a few minutes. She had the chicken club (-the bacon) with a broccoli salad side and a small drink. I had the turkey club with baked beans and a small drink. Both sandwiches were served on Texas toast with smoked meats, thick sliced bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato with a crisp dill spear and mayo on the side. We both enjoyed the sandwiches, but her pulled chicken was a bit juicier than my turkey slices and her Texas toast couldn't handle the load - making a mess as she struggled to consume it. She liked the broccoli salad. My beans were a bit too sweet for my taste as that sweetness overpowered the smoked meats mixed in. We left full and satisfied with the meal at an out the door price just over $30."
