Pedro Sensat
• 5 month agoGreat Food and Great Service. Jill, our waitress was terrific. She was friendly and very attentive. I had the half rack of ribs with shrimp with onion rings and corn on the cob. Everything was delicious and the price was right. I definitely recommend this place.

• 5 month agoBest BBQ place in daytona! They have 4 different types of BBQ sauce and multiple types of meats. I got the sliced pork and my wife ordered the brisket sandwich. Her favorite BBQ sauce was the mustard one, mine was the smoky. I always come here when I visit daytona and it's just as good every time. The parking lot is small, but you can usually find a spot.

• 7 month agoThis restaurant lived up to recommendations. Chili was some of the best I've had: nice big chunks of beef, tomato, and onion made it very hearty. I also had the lunch pulled pork platter. Standard to better than average green beans and mac. Garlic bread was great. Pulled pork had some fatty bits but was overall very flavorful. Delicious sauce variety at the table. Classic, cozy atmosphere. Efficient no-frills customer service. Exactly what you want when you think of a BBQ spot.

• 8 month agoGreat food and service. I always give props when a restaurant's manager stops by to make sure things are going smoothly! My wife brisket and she loved it! I had the Angus burger. It was perfect! Their BBQ sauce selections were delicious!! We'll definitely return when visiting Daytona Beach in the very near future!

• 9 month agoAmazing food. Definitely recommend. We eat here everytime we come to daytona beach. Our server wasn't the best today but guess we all have bad days. Took a little bit to get our food after we had ordered but was very good when we did. Very good location right in the middle of everything and you can still park while eating which I'd a huge plus downtown lol. I recommend the baby back ribs but you honestly can't go wrong my personal opinion.

• 9 month agoI found this place while searching for a couple good places to eat while I was attending a conference in Daytona. This was one of the places that came up when asking around for recommendations. Therefore, after settling in and attending the first day's sessions I went across the street and stopped at Hog Heaven. They have free parking right at the restaurant, but do bear in mind that when there's a major convention there is also paid parking nearby in case it's busy. The BBQ restaurant has just the right atmosphere for a BBQ restaurant with that rustic setting and choice of furniture. Unlike some places that love putting a lot of tchotchkes up, Hog Heaven doesn't really do but I would argue that clean appearance works here. The dining area was also nice and bright. The service was good as well. While not on top of refills, the server that attended my table did well to answer my questions and ensure my meal came out in the timely manner. For my meal, I had the pulled pork and two sides, having the waffle fries and macaroni and cheese. I generally enjoyed the pulled pork as it had good flavor and a decent amount of smokiness. I would like just a little more seasoning on the pork, but that might be my own BBQ bias speaking there. The macaroni and cheese had good noodles and the cheese was tasty. Only downside...I wanted just a little more mac and cheese for my side. The waffle fries were definitely my favorite as they were crisp and fresh and I loved the texture of the waffle fries. As with many BBQ restaurants, they have different sauces available at each table. I definitely got the most out of the mustard and the smoky sauces myself though I definitely tried all of them with my pulled pork...and maybe mixed a bit of the smokey and spicy BBQ together. Hog Heaven is definitely a good place to get BBQ in Daytona. Especially if you're along the beach itself or at a convention.
