Hops & Hogs Country Smokehouse

Ok we absolutely had no idea what to expect here. We went out to dinner with my dad who had tried some of their meats at 'A Taste of Lincoln' and we thought we'd give this place a shot. WOW! The service was great. Everyone was really welcoming and friendly. The food, though??? OMG! We were so surprised the creative things they had on their menu and how delicious everything was. Everybody ordered their own food but we all shared with each other because we would take a bite and say, "This is so good! You have to try this!"It's a cute, little, fun space with friendly staff and bomb food! I've been wondering when we can go back again. Highly recommend!Things we tried on the menu that I can't wait to have again:- Corn Ribs- Shrimp and Grits- Prime Rib Dip- Street Taco Trio (especially the pork belly one with the watermelon and pomegranate)

Well I had hopes. This spot has crushed the hopes of many a restauranteur. It's a huge space. Has a western vibe. Definitely could be a steakhouse. But smoked meat place could workThe staff was awesome. Best part of the experience. They didn't use mesquite for smoking but local wood. Still, could be good Wasn't. My burger was dry and the look I got if I could have anything without a bun or roll was epic. I'm not a bun/roll person. They clearly are. The fries were ok. Wife has pulled pork. Dried out and the smoke flavor in the crust was terrible, seriously. It smelled like it was pulled out of a fire and not a smoker. I love smoked meat. Truly. Was just not good, The breakfast choices looked ok. Lots of beer choices but Lincoln has buckets of those places. We needed a hood smoked meat placeStill do

Amazing service , breakfast was fresh and delicious. Maria , our awesome waitress made sure everything was great. Highly recommend for Breakfast, will try another time for lunch! New ownership and they have it dialed in ! Excellent

Great new addition! Lots of options, friendly staff, and a hometown vibe. We tried the chicken tacos, the brisket sandwich, and the brisket tray. The house made chips were great and my daughter really liked the corn ribs. Look forward to going back and trying on of their other options plus the ice cream flavors looked so intriguing.

This place is super cute with all the country vibes. The service was fast and food was great! We ordered the pulled pork nachos which came on house made chips, it was loaded with meat and cheese, so good. We also ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich and a bbq sandwich, our food was served quickly and we loved everything.They serve Stubborn Soda one of my favorite fountain drinks, in large mason jar glasses. If you are craving bbq this is a great sWe will definitely be back!

Overall great experience with my family for a Sunday breakfast. My choice of Cali Benny was not enjoyed but everyone else seemed to like their meals. Lots of choices and a fun atmosphere!

Hops and Hogs is a relatively new restaurant, in Lincoln. We had our first meal there today (lunch). We shall return.For us today ....... service was fantastic (unlike some of the other reviews). Our waitress checked in on us numerous times. Two other servers also stopped by to check on us. Our order was taken quickly, and our food was served to us within about 12 minutes.The meal consisted of Pork Wings (Ribs), a Wedged Salad (Wedgy), Pulled Pork Sandwich and a Mini Wedge Salad (in lieu of French Fries). The Pork Ribs were slow smoked then deep fried and tossed in a honey sauce. I ordered my Wedged Salad chopped with cucumber, avocado and carrots. My choice of dressing was Italian. The Mini Wedge came with Pulled Pork Sandwich ... with Barbeque Sauce, Slaw and Pickle.We enjoyed the experience today. Generous portions along with tender, flavorful pork. Competitively priced.

Stopped in here with friends on a Saturday. The place was pretty empty, but it was about 3pm. I ordered the brisket sandwich with sauce on the side and onion rings. The sandwich was good, meat was tender and smokey, and the brioche bun was toasted just enough. Thr onion rings were an added cost but worth it! Crisp and really yummy. Two of my friends ordered the prime rib dip and raved about the juicy meat and soft bun. My hubby ordered the meat tray with brisket, pastrami and pork belly with a side of coleslaw and onion rings. He liked the brisket but said the pastrami lacked spice, and the pork belly pieces were so charred they were dry. He was not impressed with the coleslaw either, saying it lacked flavor. So a little hit or miss, but I think it's worth the trip to Lincoln. I think we may try again after they've been open a bit longer and worked out some kinks.We all ordered some beers on tap and we're happy with those. They also have fresh made lemonade in a lot of flavors. Wait staff was very friendly and helpful.

Really good pastrami and BBQ sandwiches and homemade fries. Fresh squeezed OJ and friendly service. We'll come back! Good vibe!

Awful. Just awful. This is not a real smokehouse. It is barely a restaurant. It's a glorified coffee shop. It's weird. Sells fountain ice cream and breakfast. This would not be bad if the food was decent. Not even close to decent. In and out burger would be fine dining compared to this. Arnold Palmer- made with powder lemonadeChips and queso- stale rubbery chipsWedge salad- minimal bacon and onions. No blue cheese in the place. They brought me feta. Blue cheese dressing tasted sweet and fake. Brisket- dry chopped meat seasoned with liquid smoke flavoring. Terrible. The tasted lasted in my mouth. Probably the worst meal I've had in 25 years, if ever.
