Handsome Hog

The service is amazing accompanied by the food including the best chicken and waffles, grits, and collard greens I have ever had!

Overall experience was alright. Our server was the best part, but the food wasn't all that great. Drinks were mediocre and dishs didn't have a ton of flavor in my opinion. - Anthony

If you like barbecue handsome hog is the place for you. They have a variety of meats and side options and an option that allows you to order 3 meats and sides big enough to share with the table. To top that their desert crème brûlée is delish. I would recommend!

Well Hey Travoodies Hey.I visited the Handsome Hog, venturing to their patio. I can say it was a very nice day yesterday and the patio was a nice addition. The atmosphere was sunny with no chances of rain and I loved every minute of it. Sundays are for brunch and I went with a hungry stomach. Took my seat around 1115a and started ordering. First up was my drink Prosecco with a side of Elderflower liqueur because there was no St. Germain. Close to the flavor tho! It was actually quite yummy as well. Then I placed my ordered... I went with the HOG BREAKFAST PARTY which contains 2 Eggs, Greens, Bacon or Sausage, Roadside Potatoes, Biscuit. I loved the roadside potatoes, and I opted for sausage was equally good. The green I would suggest a little more umph in it and the eggs were standard. Overall a decent 3 out of 5 meal. I would like to go back and try the regular menu. Remember I said I sat around 1115a, it was long until 1210p that I noticed my food hasn't arrived. Spoke with our waiter who was apologetic and on the hunt to see what's going on. It was in this moment that I realized this business takes their customers seriously. The waiter returned to advise the kitchen was running behind, but his manager would be out to speak with us. Upon arrival the manager advised he had some research and noticed we had been waiting a very long time. By this time food arrived at 1227P. He informed us that the bill was taken care of and gave a gift card for the inconvenience. We assured him that taking care of the bill was enough but he insisted we take the gift card as well. That's amazing customer service. Thank you to the manager and waiter for such excellent care.

If you're looking for a weekend brunch in Saint Paul, Handsome Hog is well worth your stop. Off Selby in the shadow of the Saint Paul Cathedral, this restaurant won't catch your eye from the street. Inside has a low-light upscale bar feel, and I hear there's outdoor seating in the warmer months.We started with mimosas ($10), plus a giant, gooey cinnamon roll ($10) to share. When your server asks if you'd like to start with one, the only answer is yes! My review is mainly for the Chicken 'n Waffles ($17) however, which really impressed me. I wouldn't usually go for this dish, for fear of it being too dry. What I got, though, was an amazingly moist pair of fried chicken wings on fluffy waffles, all doused in bourbon maple syrup. No one flavor was too overpowering, just serious melt-in-your mouth goodness. I'll be back to eat it again on the patio!

The food was amazing! I went with the expectation to have an amazing experience & was not let down! We had every appetizer- the hush puppies, crab cakes, mussels, fried green tomatoes... everything was amazing. The drinks were inventive & potent. The server was great. She was helpful & informative. It's a good experience!

I had the most incredible time at Handsome Hog! The staff was absolutely amazing, and the service at the bar was top-notch. The ambiance was so vibrant and enjoyable, it really added to the whole experience. We sipped on the delicious Bad Romance cocktail, and it was absolutely delightful. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and it was just what I needed. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Handsome Hog - it's could definitely become one of my favorite spots!

I love going to Handsome Hog! It's a great go-to, when you want a solid spot in St. Paul.It has a huge wrap-around bar with tvs, and plenty of seating. The bar is surrounded by a variety of different tables/seating arrangements, depending on how large your party is. We made reservations the day of. It's very well decorated with good ambience lighting. The vibe was great for our date night.Our server was friendly, quick and attentive! The drinks were delightful. I had a dirty martini and my boyfriend got a bourbon which was brought out with a fun smokey presentation. Our food was SO good! I love southern food and this place definitely hits the spot. It's comfort food, elevated. The beautiful simplicity of the plating keeps the stars of the show on the burst of flavors in each bite. My Jambalaya was perfectly balanced, every spoonful I had! The Chicken and Waffles, was delectable! Nicely crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside, making for a satisfying, savory bite each time. Whether you're looking for a spot to go with friends or a date night, this is a good one!

The ambiance here was great! We came on a Sunday night so it was not busy at all. The service was quick, and our waitress Bri was very kind. She made great food recommendations, which we loved!For the appetizer: Pig Wings- a GREAT choice. Has a good amount of spice, and comes with coleslaw. It was really delicious, would highly recommend. Drinks: C.R.E.A.M. - a really interesting drink concept that tastes very good, and goes well with spicy foodOld fashioned- "deceptively strong"Entree: chicken and waffles- really good, get a good amount of food for the price! Would highly recommend Secreto+ was AMAZING! On the pricier side, but that is understandable given the quality of the food. All of the elements blend well together Dessert: smoked crème brûlée- good, nothing to write home about

I've been wanting to try this restaurant since the ownerhad been on Top Chef. Initially, our directions brought us to their old location in lower town. So, fyi- use Google maps to get there, not your car's navigation system! . When we finally found it, parking on the street was open and available. We were warmly greeted by the hostess. Our server, Amanda was also very friendly and helpful. The food was VERY good! I had the Cubano, which was delicious. My cousin and partner in crime also enjoyed her sliders. We were there for their happy hour menu but now that we know how to find it, we will be back for their brunch or dinner menu!
