About
Hogwood

Contrary to popular belief,
the soul of barbecue isn't in the south.
It's not in any one place.
It's in the fire.

It’s the flames that fuel the smoker, tenderizing, and roasting until just the right temperature. It’s the fire that lives in the heart of the chef who meticulously hand-selects seasonal ingredients and pairs them in a way that’s unexpected perfection. It’s the fire that lights the path to faraway lands where spices are brought in by boat and chosen by aroma. It’s the flame that lit the kitchens of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers who hand-wrote recipes and tucked them away for future generations. It’s the fire burning out back for hours upon hours while food is cooked to temperature, with no regard for time or to-do lists. Yes, the soul of barbecue isn’t in any one place. It’s in the fire.

"The food and staff made our experience above and beyond! We especially loved the mac and cheese and banana pudding. The meats were perfection! Thank you Hogwood for the amazing meal!!” - James Gentry

“Hogwood was an amazing BBQ experience. Had homemade flavors that were to die for. We also loved all the different flavors of soda from agave cream soda, to cherry with tarragon, or lemon acai. Highly recommend!” - Jonathan Creamer

“One word: Perfection! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left with smiling faces and full bellies; our whole experience was perfect this evening! Tyler greeted us with a smiling face, was incredibly patient with this first-timer, and offered for us to sample anything we might be interested in! I got the Brisket Platter and I've never had such incredible Brisket before! The mac n cheese is unlike anywhere else here in the South, and anyone from the South knows we love our mac n cheese! My fiance got the Colorado sandwich and he devoured it before I was halfway done! Go visit this amazing restaurant, I promise you won't regret it!” - Jacinda Jauregui
