Wow! I just ate here for the first time. It definitely won't be my last. I admit that I am a BBQ snob, believing that if the meat is moist and flavorful enough, it shouldn't need to be soaked in sauce. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich on brioche. It was amazing. I added Cole slaw and didn't need sauce at all. The service is top notch and the space is fun and inviting.

After attending the St. Patrick's Day parade along Gay Street in downtown Knoxville, my husband and I decided to stop in at this new establishment. At first glance, it's sort of blah...there were a few patrons inside, so we decided to sit at the bar, order a drink and nibble on a snack. We inquired about their draft beers, which were limited. At the least, you should offer a lite, an amber and a dark beer to your customers. They had NO dark beer on draft, I was offered a dark beer in the can or perhaps, a flavored cider. No Thanks! So, I asked if they served wine? Yes, we have red or white. I asked for a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. I was told we don't have a cork screw for the Cabernet, would you like this Pinot Noir instead, it has a twist cap? I said sure, reluctantly... then perused their limited lunch menu. We inquired about their small plates and specifically asked about "Smoke Lobster hush puppies," was told they are absolutely delicious...prepared with wonderful spices and filled with chunks of lobster. So we asked if it's canned imitation lobster or chunks from the claw of the lobster. We were told, the hush puppies are chunks of lobster with very little breading so you're getting mostly claw meat. Okay, we will share an order of that. While sipping on drinks, someone else's food order was presented to us. Once corrected, to our dismay, there was NO lobster found in any of the hush puppies, as I carefully looked throughout each piece. When asked, "how are the hush puppies" my response...terrible!! They were fried too hard (overcooked) and not an iota of lobster to be found anywhere amongst them. One of the servers admitted she had ordered the hush puppies as well, and was disappointed. She mentioned that our complaint was duly noted and would be passed along to management. Yeah right, I'm not holding my breath. As we finished our drinks and waited for our bill, the couple sitting next to us complained about their meal being inadequate as well. I am fully aware that TN is land locked and we are limited to really good seafood, but don't hype your product if you can't deliver. The establishment has been open for three weeks, surely you would think they would have their act together by now. If not, don't open until you're ready and on top of your game. Based on this experience, I would suggest, you not waste your time or money.

We tried so much food. It all was amazing. The bologna sandwich, sticky ribs, pickles cold and fried, crab legs, pork burger. We can't wait to come back again.

What the what!! Go to The Humble Hog Knoxville!! The menu is innovative, unique, and not overwhelming. We started with fried pickels, chicken livers, and chicken wings naked w/ three different homemade bbq sauces. Entrées were 1/2 spare rib, rib tips, pork burger bhan mi, and pulled pork on brioche. Sides where fries, mac-n-cheese, and collard greens. For a family of four and we loved it all. My favorite where the wings ?, rib tips, fries, and mac-n-cheese. I didn't try all the entrées but everyone else said their's where their favorite. Super impressed with the service and wait times. A lot of new places kinks to workout, but we didn't have one kink!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife and I stopped by after the St. Patrick's Day Parade. It wasn't busy at all, yet Chivo next door was packed. Hmmm...maybe a clue? We sat at the bar. I liked the industrial look to the place, with the unfinished concrete walls. My wife did not! Service was outstanding. No problem there. We had two different servers waiting on us as well as a food runner. My wife wanted their Cabernet Sauvignon but they couldn't find a corkscrew to open the bottle. Strike one! So she settled for Pinot Noir. The menu is limited. We asked if the lobster hush puppies had real or imitation lobster. Our server said it was real, and went on to describe them as "chunks of lobster" surrounded by cornmeal batter. The hush puppies were small, hard, and had not one bit of discernible lobster meat in them. Strike two! We heard the couple next to us complain about their food too. When we noted the lack of lobster, our server came up with a different explanation of how the lobster is shredded into the batter. However, our food runner agreed with our assessment and confirmed our dissatisfaction. There really wasn't a strike three, but it was definitely a "one and done" experience for us.

Elevated BBQ place hits the spot. Customer service was above and beyond amazing. The sticky ribs were the star of the menu. Pricing is higher than other BBQ places nearby but there’s a reason for that and with the restaurant catering to a different kind of BBQ, I think it’s worth it.

Wow! They have all your classic bbq favorites, and so many incredible unique options on the menu. This is our new go-to in Knoxville. Wings, Pork Banh Mi, Brussels Sprouts were all 10/10.

Such a welcome addition to downtown. I had lunch there earlier this week and everything was delicious. Had the Bahn Mi Pork Burger as my main entree with side of Kimchi Brussels. Both outstanding. We also tried the Sticky Ribs small plate as an appetizer and they were delicious. The sweet potato cake with the Vietnamese coffee sauce is also incredible. My wife was very excited to try Humble Hog because most of their menu is Gluten Free. She said the mac and cheese was the best she's ever had and yes, it's fully gluten free. Service was friendly and prompt. Already looking forward to our next visit!

I ordered the half rack of spare ribs which when I got them were cold and at best luke warm in some spots. They also forgot the house-made pickles that come with it. The lobster hush puppies were so overcooked that they had the consistency of a baseball and the inside was dryer than sand. My girlfriend got the pork sliders which were also cold, unseasoned, and dry. The chipotle bbq sauce made it edible. The kimchi brussel sprouts were actually delicious and would highly recommend. We had to wait an hour for food and granted it was 8pm on a Saturday night but it wasn’t too busy. The staff was great though and maybe it was one time bad experience but I don’t intend on going back.
