Brew Hawg BBQ & Root Beer

I was in Orange County around lunch time and our usual Bbq spot in Tustin was closed that day- scrolling thru Yelp I found this spot "Brew Hawg BBQ"- it had good reviews so I decided to try it out with my co- worker. "PEOPLE" - let me tell you it did not disappoint us one bit we both had the 3 meat combos (Tri-tip, Brisket & Chicken) / (Tri-tip, Brisket & Pork Belly). The owner was also cool as heck - he gave us the run down of the various meats and combos available & made us feel welcomed. The place is super clean and it has a chill vibe to it - we're definitely coming back. PS found a new favorite!!Posted some pictures- of our lunch and the inside of Brew Hawgs.

I miss living next to this place. I really come here for the fresh brewed Root Beer. It's great to see someone making root beer ready on tap using fresh natural ingredients during the process. It's flavorful and full bodied. I have had many Root Beers from all over the. Country and this is pretty good. I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5 The food here is great too. I love the BBQ Cone. Looks like ice cream but it's filled with a mini Bbq meal. It's awesome and I'm sure kids will love the novelty of it. If they don't like bbq I think they will now

I think I "researched" a gazillion BBQ places but despite a couple bad reviews Brew Hawk is where we ordered from. They were also the most affordable. I split the 2 meat combo with beans and mac. It was about $27-$29 dollars but it fed us both easily. We actually got like NINE ribs and they were tangy, tasty and fell right off the bone. Beans were good but nothing special about them. They kinda tasted like Van De Camps baked beans. No onions or cheese or peppers...the corn bread was a little dry but cornbread is hard to get just right. The Mac was clumpy and gooey, not creamy like Kraft. I think at the end of the day these are the 2 main "style" of Mac to choose from. I'm a creamy Kraft girl. It wasn't horrible but wasn't great either. Ok so a couple misses here but at the end of the day (review) it's all about the ribs and they nailed it. Go see for yourself.

I have ordered from this place twice now on Uber eats and each time they refuse to give me extra barbecue sauce. I just got my order. I literally put in the notes. Please give me three additional barbecue sauces. I don't even care if they would've charged me for it. I cannot go out anymore as a new parent with a toddler. It's pretty much impossible to ordering in is sometimes the only way we can get nice food like this without cooking, but this is the last time I'm ordering here. I don't think it's very difficult and I don't think it's too much to ask for a little extra barbecue sauce. I'll be taking my money and my business elsewhere.

Maybe I just got a bad plate because my food was not what I was expecting after reading the great reviews. Coleslaw was okay , beans from the can . Corn bread was delicious. Smoked chicken was dry and smokeless. Sausage basic and tri tip was a waste of effort and calories plus the $1 up charge . I do not recommend this place .

Brew Hawgs is nestled in a smallish strip mall off of Tustin. The marquee reads "BBQ to go", not actually "BrewHawgs", so watch for that. Other than that it's easy to get to and parking is plentiful. There is limited inside seating (which has a welcoming, southern feel) and additional outside seating. Their BBQ sauce selections are up along the wall and are available to take to your table as you dine. The gal at the counter was very welcoming and friendly as she took orders and delivered food to the tables. There's a great variety of sandwich and meat plate options. I like how they're more unique than other BBQ places in the area. The choices for sides are great, too!At this visit I ordered the Knuckle sandwich (fun play on words!), with a side of mac & cheese. The mac and cheese was perfectly seasoned and cheesy. The sandwich was a delightful combo of pulled pork and a fried egg in a brioche bun. SO good!The one thing I would prefer here, tho, would be Coke over Pepsi. So overall, I'd say head on over and give Brew Hawgs a try. I'm pretty sure you'll discover your new favorite BBQ joint!

What a great little place for BBQ! Meats are delicious and cooked to perfection. Very clean to eat in or take out. Very friendly staff. Stacy and Daphne were more than glad to go over their large menu selection. And don't forget their home-brewed root beer, a must-have to go with any food selection. We had pulled pork sandwich and hot (but not too hot) links with tasty baked beans and potato salad. Definitely will be heading back soon.

Not pictured is The Thor sandwich with tater tots. After the reviews I'm shocked by our experience. We ordered a meat plate, the sandwich and deviled eggs. The food had no flavor or seasoning. The beans tasted like they came straight out of the can, bbq sauce tastes straight out of the bottle. All the meat was largely fat pieces. Everything had an oily coating or taste to it. The person taking out order didn't seem to know the menu or much about it. The restaurant itself is pretty small so I would say if you have more than 4 people you would want to make other arrangements. We were highly disappointed. The 5 star reviews are very misleading.

Amazing little hole in the wall BBQ spot!! The staff was extremely nice and welcoming, the food was great, and the fresh root beer is a must try! I've lived in Orange for a while now, and I am sad I did not know this place existed sooner. I will definitely be back! This is a great go to when you're craving delicious BBQ and a refreshing Root Beer.

I came in here after working out and asked the woman working her recommendations and we were both on the same page with the brisket! I got the BBQ JUDGEMENT that comes with 1 choice of meat, 2 sides and SOME SHAME, haha that menu made me laugh. Honestly, I've tried a lot of bbq places and this meat quality was the best! I'll have to come in to try the other meats but hands down the brisket is a hit.The place is good sized- small but very nice to have lunch alone, loved the decor of everything.
