Hi-Ho Barbecue

Let me start off by saying, this is my favorite place to go. All my best childhood food memories came from here or the original on North Morrison Blvd. Every-time I come home I have to have a sack of my beef or pork, if eating immediately I want it dressed, if traveling to a destination I want it "heavy" sauce! Today I spent $32 on 5 sandwiches - the dressed I ate immediately, which was ok. Kind of dry, but plenty of beef. The others I mentioned I was bringing in my road trip to Oklahoma, so they offered to put in foil, which was a great idea! (When you get them heavy, they may soak some through the bag) . I was bringing 2 for my daughter in OK who also loves them and 1-2 for my son-in-law to try, the rest I was happy to eat after my 9 hr drive! Except..... after the price increase (which I was ok - most things cost more money today, but from $3.50 last I bought a year ago to $5.00 today)I opened up my Sammy's to find this !? I drove 9 hours to deliver a taste of my childhood to open these BURNT buns that nobody took more than a bite of and looked at me like I was crazy to be so in love with this... very disappointed guys. Hope you were just having a bad staff/cook day??

Customer service was very quick and friendly. Prices were great. Quality for a cheeseburger, nuggets, and fries was ab a 3/5. Typical frozen fast foods. But my cheeseburger, that I asked for only katsup and mayo, came fully dressed. I disdain tomatoes and any veggies on my burger so I couldn't eat it because taking off the veggies leaves the flavor behind and ruined it. Outside of that I would still recommend because of the price and service. Food Quality just didn't stand out for me.

The barbecue sandwiches at HiHo are not traditional and that surprises some people. It is an original recipe created by this family and they have been a favorite meal in our home for 20 years. We never get less than 10 when we stop. They are great heated up. Their breakfast is also very good but I like 3 beef with cheese after staying at my cousin's house in Hammond!

Look, I'm going to warn people ahead of time, this place isn't traditional BBQ. It's actually not really BBQ. It's more of a sandwich shop that invented a particular sandwich.The hi ho sandwich is either a choice of beef or pork that has been sliced deli thin style. It comes with a sauce that is some kind of middle ground between a spaghetti and light BBQ sauce. It's similar to Italian-BBQ crossover sauces I've found in Memphis. Hi ho started before WWII as a sandwich shop that sold their creation to travelers on Hwy 51. The area was settled by Italians and the Spitale family came up with the unique sandwich, likely imitating BBQ without actually being BBQ. Their flat top grill is great too. I often like to get hot ham and cheese sandwiches and their burgers are good and old school.Everything is better with a Barq's!

Moved to Louisiana 2 months our neighbor told us about this place good eats great price southern style service. We will definitely b back

The double Cheeseburger and add bacon on French bread is and the service is great and the wait is not that long too

The hi ho sauce was terrible, bun for my burger was toasted until burnt, and the beef on my hi ho fries was so bland and just...bad. Burger was good, but would be much better without burnt bun.

I considered Hi Ho number one on the Roast Beef Po- Boys in Hammond. They changed their bread due to rising cost ( so days one of the servants). It's like getting a roast beef poboy on a hot dog bun. So disappointing !!!Want be back until they go back to the good bread. Service is always goodAmbiance is always good

Good down home simple food at a good price. This was always my Daddy's go to place. He had been going to Hi Ho since the 80's. Portions, burgers and sandwiches are big. You won't go hungry. I am carrying on his legacy by eating at Hi Ho. I always enjoy it.

I'm a worker in the food business as well, and I know it requires a handful of skills including being professional. The lady Donna that works there is a prime example of an employee who SHOULD NOT be in customer service. This lady rudely declined me a bag of ice because a little girl had smashed her finger. She rudely responded "no, you can't have that, it's not a convenient store." I'm at this location very often and never have a problem with anyone except this lady. I've had friends as well describe this kind of behavior from this specific lady. Anyways, food and service is nice unless you get Donna.
