Hogshead Cafe

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
