Reviews
Chain restaurant but staff makes it feel like a local restaurant. Outside patio is large and covered. The weather cooperated by being sunny with a breeze. Car and truck noise from adjoining road was pretty loud at times. Extensive menu based around smoked or fried food. We enjoyed 3 different menu items. Servings were very generous and tasty. I had a brisket salad. Veggies were fresh and chopped so it was easy to eat. Brisket had great taste and smoke ring but was not cooked long enough to be tender. My expectations that the meat would be shredded but brisket was sliced and tough. Fried onion rings were a surprise as well as the fried potato wedges. Chicken salad salad was similar. The hamburger was very thick so she cut in half. It would have been easier to have requested to be cut in kitchen. It was good enough that I would return but not good enough that I've would seek it out.
How did I not know this place was here? We were in Monongahela for my wife's doctors appointment today and saw that this place was a 4.5 star rating. We arrived around 1 PM and was seated immediately inside. They put a nice outside deck on and the owner informed us that they don't have enough staff to open the outside deck. The pandemic has been difficult on all businesses finding employees. Our food was arrived timely. Staff was kind, respectful and knowledgeable. Menu prices have increased since last year due to the pandemic. However, the quality of the food that we got was excellent. My wife said her sweet potato fries were the best that she has ever had in her life! My ribs, fries and baked beans were excellent. Our strawberry cake was huge and we had to take it to go!!! Enjoy!!!
My lunch party of 7 tried seven different items. All agreed they were delicious! This was a first visit for four of us and we all look forward to returning very soon. Worth a trip from the Burgh. Service was pleasant and speedy. Sam was an attentive waitress. She was quite busy with another surprise party of 15 on the large deck too. Great food. Good service. Cheerful place. Back real soon. Thank you to all. P.S.: order an enormous dessert. Share it with a friend. Huge!
Great BBQ!! We stumbled upon Hog Father's on our way back to Pittsburgh from Morgantown. We were able to grab a table on the deck with no wait for an early Sunday dinner. The service was friendly and attentive the entire meal. Most importantly, the BBQ was FANTASTIC. I got a half rack of ribs and the meat was so tender I could just peel it off the bone. My husband got the brisket which was thin, lean and crispy (so a bit of a departure from fatty brisket) and tasty! The mains come with 2 sides, so we split the Mac and cheese, baked beans, fries, and coleslaw. All of them were good, but the meat was the main attraction for us. So glad we stopped in!
So, I'm doing some work in Donora and need a place for dinner that isn't fast food but also not your typical diner. A guy at Lowe's recommended Hog Fathers in Monogahela, so, off I go. It's a nice little place right off the road, so you gotta look for it. Comfortable and casual. Not too many other folks; maybe a dozen. I got a half slab of their baby back ribs, coleslaw and baked beans. The ribs were fine really well; smoked, not baked. Fall-off-the-bone tender and had their sauce caramelized on them. I liked the sauce but my wife wouldn't. She's not into "sweet" barbecue sauces. Baked beans were really good by my taste. The coleslaw was "different ". Not sweet; not tangy/ vinegary. Interestingly different. I'll be back. It was a really pleasant and delicious meal in a relaxing atmosphere. I think I'll try their St. Louis ribs next.
