We liked the food at Hamilton pork, good bbq and good service. We originally asked for a booth but immediately moved because there was a cockroach crawling across the table. Table had crumbs and clearly had not been cleaned. Otherwise meal was fine, enjoyed the various tacos, liked that you could order one of each. Big tacos. Good in house bbq sauces.

Hamilton Pork exceeded our expectations on our first visit as a family! The brisket, pulled pork was incredibly tender and the sides have been amazing - mac & cheese, fries, and sweet beans. The laid back vibe and friendly staff made it super welcoming, even for our 4 year old, who loved the fries. We will come back soon!

Hamilton Pork has a great menu of smoked meats with a fine bar and delicious, well-imagined side dishes. Service is fast & excellent, and they also have one of the most pleasant outdoor dining spaces in the city in their back yard. My husband & I used to go there before covid and we somehow lost track of it, but we recently visited again and were pleasantly surprised. We have been twice recently. On our first visit we had the 3-meat combo with turkey, brisket & pork belly burnt ends. Everything was excellent -- tender, juicy & flavorful. This time we had the same with turkey, brisket & pulled pork. The pulled pork was excellent, but the brisket was tough & needed at least another hour, while the turkey was tasty but on the dry side. So a little better consistency is called for here. Other than that, I have only one suggestion. In the old days they offered High West rye whiskey, but now they only have Bulleit. There is nothing wrong with Bulleit, but it's not High West, which is only a little more. So I recommend they stock High West again.

Absolutely fabulous food. As someone from Texas I have a high standard for bbq and this place surpassed any expectations I could’ve had. The bbq sauce options are all flavorful and delicious. If you haven’t eaten here, you should.
