Hawg and Sauce has a very comfortable and homey atmosphere. Very country diner.
However the kitchen and food prep is all done in the back. Let this be a warning sign. If you can't watch them slice the meat then you don't know what they are slicing it from. That is the case here.
Shown is the 2 meat tray. I went with ribs and pulled pork. My friend went with ribs and brisket.
The ribs had a slathering of sauce that was cooked onto the ribs. Again, I'm not against this out of hand but if the sauce is not that good, then it doesn't help. I often wonder what is being hidden. These ribs were nothing special. The pulled pork was actually quite good. Good flavor and tenderness.
The beans were typical baked beans and it came with some onion (good choice), pickle and wheat bread (really?). We also got the pork rinds. These were fresh and hot but had an edgy flavor and mostly sat uneaten.
I tried my friend's brisket and it was sliced very thin (likely by machine) and was dry and without flavor.
They claim to be the best barbecue in Mt. Vernon. That may be true but it certainly isn't the best that I've had...by a long shot.
