First ate here in the 70's.. Was incredible and remained that way until sometime in the last 10 years or so..Began to get ribs that tasted like they were cooked yesterday and reheated in a dirty oven.. dry, chewy and same with the chicken.. You cant get an actual half or whole rack intact.. instead you get a selection of ribs from different racks.. some better than others and some just awful.. but an experienced BBQ'er can tell right away that these ribs are not fresh from the smoker but previously cooked, refrigerated and t... read more

Probably the best BBQ in Los Angeles and I've eaten a lot of BBQ. Get yourself a stack of ribs, a bib, and dig in. Worth the wait if there's a line. Good parking in back.

Something Good Done Gone Wrong – I used to go to Hogly Wogly many times...in the 90's...when it still turned out good BBQ. Something happened during the last decade. After several visits all turned out the same: Dried up chicken, dried up ribs, etc., etc., I stopped going. I never thought I would say a chain BBQ is better, but, out where I live, I will take the tri-tip and ribs at Wood Ranch BBQ any day over what Hogly Wogly has been serving up over the last 10 years or so. What the heck happened?

Feels like you are in Texas! – My favorite place to eat period! I'm there 2x per week and love it! Get anything on the menu and you'll be happy!

Not what it used to be – I have been going to this establishment for over 30 years. In recent years, I am disappointed time and time again by over-chewy, overcooked ribs, ofen mixed in with thoise correctly done. My sense is that thete is no manager on premises monitoring the cooking process. If that situation was corrected, Hogly Wogly could return to being one of the best rib joints in the city.

Since when is BBQ cooked in an oven?! – When my husband and I first moved from Texas to LA, we thought we try our luck on going to Doctor Hogly Wogly's on the claim of having Texas quality BBQ and from Tyler no less. We are from the Austin and College Station area and have had every kind of BBQ imaginable all across the state. Needless to say we were not impressed with the food at all. The meat tasted like it had been broiled in the oven and of course no sign of smokers anywhere, which is a must at any good BBQ joint. The Te... read more

Pretty good BBQ – My bf has been trying to get me to agree with Hogly Woglys for a while. We were running errands out in the SFV and he drove us out of the way to eat here. its saying a lot if he's driving out of the way to get some grub. I think i have pretty exacting standards for BBQ (despite being asian). My best friends dad BBQ's every three day holiday and Uncle Stevies BBQ is hands down the best. Hogly Woglys is a good stop gap when a 3day weekend isn't in sight. The portions are huge. We ate until we were stuffed and... read more

One of the best BBQ joints in LA – This is seriously one of the best BBQ spots in all of LA. Can't say much for the sides, but that's okay, the ribs, brisket and links more than make up for it. The employees here look like they were transplanted from Texas...I guess that's a good sign. :)

Best Kept Secret – Has great BBQ food, its a homestyle restaurant with a small outdoor patio, you get large generous portions, very limited parking and limited seating inside. Its like a truck stop you might find out in the middle of nowhere. word of mouth has made this a very popular place. I enjoyed the food very much. The bbq beans are different than most places. The have a great BBQ sauce.
