The Smok'd Hog

Brisket and Mac and cheese were awful. Worest I've every had. Hope they listen to people's reviews and improve.

We love the smok'd hog's Ribs and Pulled Pork! We never really eat there but vail ranch is a cute vibe. We tend to bring the food home to eat. Sausage is gigantic and amazing! Bbq sauce is great! Sides are hit or miss. Mac n cheese is really good and we hear cornbread is amazing but we havent tried it yet. The collard greens and baked beans aren't our favorite but you can't beat the meats! To go containers are all paper which we appreciate the eco conscious option of.

Stopped here on the way home from San Diego. What a cute little village smack in the middle of a shopping center. The smok'd hog shared the building with a few other businesses. The dining hall serviced all restaurants and had picnics tables to sit at. The brisket was tender and delicious. I had a side of corn bread. Very filling! Service was great and with a smile. Would stop here again!

So I don't venture to touristy places too too much. Usually over priced and quality is no good. But this place in the Vail. Super cute. The food. OH m g stop the presses. My husband and I tried "the best BLT eva" and were not at all disappointed. Super good. Oh and a side of tater salad. .. so good. The setting is communal. So it's super cute like open area. Ya can eat and chat with people around you. It is cute. I loved it. The service was quick and friendly and really informative. I enjoyed all of this experience.

Take this review lightly. Others seem to love it but Everything isn't for everyone. Although the ribs were good, I won't go back here. don't understand the hype. Maybe we went in a bad day. The food was not good. The tater salad was flavorless. It was topped with bacon but the bacon had no flavor. How is that possible? The baked beans were a weird taste of sweet and spicy. Not a fan. The max and cheese was way over cooked and watery. Are you familiar with the brand of canned greens called "Glory greens"? That's what the greens tastes like. They actually tasted a little burnt. The ribs were very good but the BBQ sauce was horrible. My husband enjoyed the sandwich and didn't say much about it. He was famished.

It just moved to Temecula and have been here multiple times. This spot was fantastic. Pulled pork sandwich portion was huge and the addition of a good barbecue sauce and grilled onions. Made it even better. Owner and staff have always treated me politely. Looking forward to trying the Ribs soon

All was excellent. I'm from the South so this BBQ was pretty good. Quality was good with the BBQ, just could use more sauce. Mac and cheese was mid, the fries were excellent, but the corn bread was the real winner here. Def a must try! Will def come back!

It's not often that Yelp lets me down. But sad to say The Smok'd Hog reviews did not live up to my experience.Got there on a lazy Saturday nooner and the place was empty. Had to wait a couple minutes for someone to show up at the counter. I was there for the brisket, but they explained they were out for the day. (Something about their smoker acting up?) Instead we got two pulled pork sammies. While the sammies were piled high with meat, there was little flavor - and zero smoke profile. Had to smother it in sauce which had some very good flavor. But the bread was a soft and soggy egg bun which immediately fell apart, and was just - soggy. I'm thinking maybe the pulled pork was steamed, and not smoked, thus the meat was watery which made the egg bun soggy?Neither me nor my daughter were impressed. No smoke flavor. We could not even sense any hint of smoke smell in the entire establishment...which led us to wonder....was it really smoked??? Hmmmmm....On a positive note, the mac and cheese was pretty spot on, hence the 2 stars.Sorry about the bad review, but just keeping it real.

Best damn Cuban I've ever had. Wish I had room for another because I didn't want it to end. Looking forward to trying the ribs next. Run don't walk!

Incredible bbq. Had pulled pork and brisket. Brisket was super lean. Both pulled pork and brisket had great smoked flavor.
