The photos don’t do it any justice! I went on a Tuesday night, and was sat immediately. I ordered a hogarita which was really good and the menu had more options than I thought it would so it took me a minute to order. My server Edith was very patient with me. 😊 I ended up getting the she crab soup which was so good and then I got the surf and turf with ribs and shrimp. Chefs kiss! Now I have to go back to try everything else that looked good on the menu.

Had a great dinner stop here yesterday. I ordered the Shrimp & Corm Chowder to start and it was excellent! The Au Gratin Potatoes were incredible…razor thin sliced, built like lasagna, lots of butter, cheese, and garlic. Pulled pork was good, and their spicy Carolina BBQ sauce was great on top. The corn pudding was good, although way too sweet for me. Not a complaint at all, I just stay away from the sweeter dishes. Overall, and excellent dinner. They have a wide variety to appeal to everyone, along with a full bar. I would definitely go back, and recommend a stop there as well!

I visited HogsHead years ago when it was a small restaurant a little further up West Broad. I remember eating the Cuban sandwich then, and I was still thinking about it after all this time, lol. The new restaurant is much larger with an upstairs and outside seating both downstairs and up. I ordered the Cuban Hog, and it was as good as I remember. It had the perfect ratio of ham and pork, and the sweet potato fries were so crispy and delicious. My fiancé enjoyed his Hog Burger that was topped with pork and bacon. We also ordered the Hog wings in spicy garlic and were not expecting full-size wings. The wings are under the appetizers but are a meal by themselves, with enough for leftovers. There was so much taste. Also, the original flavored limeade was perfection. I really enjoyed the meal and the portions were huge for the price. I will be back.

Will definitely go back. Cute place! 4 stars because it's very porky smelling and I'm not a fan of pork. BUT its called Hogshead cafe...LOL! Server was great! YAY Joshua D. Food was really good. This spot has been on my list for some time. Mac and cheese was surprisingly good. Yams were a a little too sweet but very tasty and the fried shrimp was very nicely done. Overall great experience, one of my staples for sure.

When it comes to BBQ, this restaurant is one of the best in the area. I am part of a Meetup group and I've been here several times. This restaurant is a great place to have group events. The food is amazing and the service is great as well. If you're in the Henrico area then I highly recommend Hogshead Cafe.

This is a pretty good place. It has a fun pub feel to it and the food is pretty darn good. It's mostly your typical pub fare but they also have a huge specials board that they change out regularly. The food itself is amazing. While it can seem a little pricey when your looking through the menu, the portions are pretty generous and the quality of the ingredients more than justify the price. The only draw back to this place is the service. Some times the service is good and some times it's down right terrible. It really depends on the wait staff that is working when you come in. Definitely an area where the restaurant could improve. In total, this place is worth a try.

Pleasantly surprised. The pulled pork is their specialty for a reason, it is amazing but definitely try other items on the menu. The burger was done perfect "cookout style": slightly charred outside, juicy inside. The chicken tenders were buttermilk batter coated, delicious. The upstairs entertainment was excellent. Had a great evening. The service was the best selling point: fast and friendly. Always attentive and ready to help. Prices are reasonable for a West End restaurant of this quality. Highly recommended.

They offer standard bar food like wings, nachos, burgers, chicken nuggets, and hot dogs, but have a few unique items on the menu that are pretty good. I enjoy the Chicken Cordon Hog and Cuban sandwiches the most, but only when I can substitute brisket for the pork BBQ, add extra pickles, and get fresh sauce on the side. The wings are the full wing, not just the drum and flats, so keep that in mind when ordering (6 is 12 everywhere else). The servers are top-notch. Not the best place to support a diet, but pretty good for a cheat-day. This place has changed a lot from the original location, but it's still a pleasant choice for a brunch, lunch, or dinner.

Now if you wish to have a down home southern cuisine experience then this establishment will give you that. From the Sweet Tea, Limeades, chili cheese fries, Hog Sampler, Hush Puppies, Blackberry Cobbler, Banana Pudding, etc. I guess I am sharing most of the menu and the Crab Cakes and Catfish as well. We left this establishment STUFFED and how could I forget the Wings (Barbecue and Hot). It was just so much but it was a great time. So go and visit Hogshead Cafe for the full down home southern experience.

I have been forever spoiled...I can only order the Catfish Reuben. So good! Side of crispy sweet potato fries with maple mustard sauce is divine! Top it off with fresh limeade. Run and enjoy!

A really nice sit down and relax BBQ eatery. Wonderful atmosphere (cross between sports bar/family restaurant/club). Went with my girlfriend, who ordered their pint of peel and eat shrimp(also comes in a quart). I ordered their hog dog. Beef Frank w/ pulled pork and coleslaw (all piled on top of the dog!) And fried apples. Started with a fried mushroom appetizer. They were some of the best fried mushrooms I've ever had. Finished with a a carrot cheesecake that is to die. Service was fantastic. Will definitely be going back again.

HogsHead Cafe off Broad Street in Henrico is a consistent delight. Love their dual-floor setup with bars and outdoor seating. The menu mixes BBQ classics with unique dishes; the shrimp tacos and pork BBQ Cuban Sandwich are standouts. Their wing sauces and happy hour deals (3pm-6pm weekdays, till 2pm Saturdays) are top-notch. Live music and now trivia upstairs adds to the ambiance, and the staff is always attentive. They offer catering and an event space, too.

Place was kind of dead at lunchtime, but the food has always been great here. Friendly people, and the prices are still a good value. It fell short on a couple of things..the chicken was dry, and my collards were meh. The Shrimp Tiki tacos are my go-to, and they were delicious. The BBQ plate was also tasty, and the rest of the sides were good. I do love their chili as well. We order a lot from work, so we will definitely be back.

Staff was really friendly! I def recommend checking their fb page which lists their daily blackboard specials--the menu is huge and the portions are HUGE and well worth the price. Since we just moved here, this was one of the bbq spots recommended by some coworkers and locals! The sweer potato fries were really good! All the sides we tried were, The Hot Dog was SO good! Wrapped in bacon, topped with pulled pork and coleslaw!

First time eating at this location. They've been around forever and they used to be in this little tiny place just down the street. They have this famous fried hot dog that I've had before which is pretty good. Me and a buddy back here for lunch. I first ordered the chicken cordon bleu, but once it came I thought the chicken was a tad rubbery. The hostess took it back and let me order another sandwich which was much better. The hostess was absolutely great she joked around with us and was very attentive and she took care of us. Usually drink unsweet iced tea but with Sweet 'N Low, but they don't carry the pink stuff and I don't care for any of the other sweeteners. I then asked if she could make me an Arnold Palmer what she said she would be able to do. So she got a big glass of tea with some lemonade and threw a bunch of lemons in it. We sat outside they have a very nice patio area. Stepped inside and they get done a very nice job of decorating in this place up and making it nice and roomy. There's a very large bar that you can belly up to as well. My bud swears by their barbecue here and told me during covid-19 still come and get lots of takeout. Don't know if just the first sandwich I got just was a fluke but the pulled pork I got the second time was definitely taken kickn! I would definitely come back especially because service was so great and try some of their other items.

A little hole in the wall BUT they have really good food!! Perfectly seasoned. Huge portions and reasonably priced with fast service. My husband said his ribs were the best he's ever eaten.
