Best KPortal Reviews

This place is a gem in Hiawassee, Georgia! All of the staff were very friendly and the place had a hometown feel to it. I could tell this is where the locals come because everyone knew everyone by name. My wife and I both got the Little Piglets(sliders) with turkey and chicken. The Smokehouse Potato Salad was amazing! Slaw was perfect and beans were awesome! Now the fried corn was something to write home about!! Anyone passing through Hiawasee MUST stop here! We definitely will next time we come through.
Lunch time for three! Order at the counter and they bring to you. Can dine indoors or out on covered porch. Indoor dining area is tight but definitely fits a good BBQ dining spot along with decor. Barely a wait for entrees. Pulled pork sandwiches were great. Loaded baked potato was great. Texas mustard and smoked potato salads were good. Their take on Brunswick stew was more of a soup and thin but still good. I’m used to more a thicker puréed stew. Service was great and friendly! Would definitely come back.
The brisket and chicken were absolutely delicious. We had lunch outside and enjoyed the wonderful view of the water. The food is fantastic but the best part of our experience was Ms. Aleda who took our order. She was full of love and kindness and checked on us outside several times. I would come back just for her! ????
Stopped on before a concert in town. The BBQ was very good. My wife had ribs, which she enjoyed. Great sides. Not cheap, but the food was worth it.
Great food!!! The brisket melted in my mouth. Dog friendly on the outside deck. They even gave my dog a bone to chew on. Delicous food, great folks. Paul, Daytona Beach Fl
Love the food, but the prices are through the roof. 40.00 for lunch for 2 people. Pork plates, drinks, and a small extra cup of beans that they charged $4.85 for. Too high for many return trips, but food was great. Just too expensive.
Small building, big flavor. All the meats we got came dry (no sauce already on it). The ribs didn't need anything, easily just eat them with nothing added. I also had the turkey and pork. The beans and steakhouse potato salad are also quite tasty and the garlic bread was cooked just right. They also have three sauces, a sweet and mild, South Carolina vinegar based, and a North Carolina mustard based sauce. They were all good, but the NC mustard stood out for me. Staff was nice and the over all feeling was quaint and like at a friend's house.
The Happy Hawg is your down home BBQ joint cranking out some fire que! We split a plate of pork, ribs and smoked chicken. The baby back ribs are juicy and succulent. The pork paired perfectly with delicious garlic toast. The smoked chicken was moist and flavorful. This is downright, great barbecue. Their beans were fantastic as well! Check these guys out for some of the best que around!
