Boss Hog BBQ & Restaurant in Cartdage

We drove over 2 hours to take friends to Boss Hog BBQ. They had been there years ago and wanted to go back. It was really wonderful. Probably the best hush puppies I've ever tasted. Crispy on the outside, soft and tasty on the inside. The others told me that the BBQ was the best! I thought the fish sandwich was the best I'd ever had. I had it with the slaw on it and it was really, really good. Worth the drive!!

I visit this area often for family reasons and honestly. It may seem impossible but the best bbq Iv ever had. The meat is cooked basically perfect and the vinegar sauce is exactly what I expect in NC. A true hidden gem!

The minced slaw and sauce they add to the pulled pork sandwiches pairs really well with the pork. I thought the one I got was as tasty as any pulled pork sandwich I've ever eaten.

Food was fair at best. Had heard so much about great barbeque and was seriously disappointed.

So Boss Hog changed management and/or ownership sometime in 2018. We’ve lived in Sherrills Ford about four years and had an entirely unsatisfactory experience at Boss before the change. What a difference!Don’t get me wrong. My observation of the old Boss was a very popular joint that, based on the look of the place-inside and out—was not appealing. I guess the BBQ was good, we didn’t think so, but it was a no frills place. The new Boss hasn’t changed in size or shape but it’s way more appealing in its appearance. It’s still a no frills BBQ joint but it doesn’t inspire apprehension walking in the door.By the way, the food is excellent; the Shrimp PoBoy is loaded with shrimp, the Pork and Chicken are top notch. Service is quick and friendly. Here’s to Boss Hog, fine dining it isn’t, fine food is absolutely is.

Very good lunch food is like eating at home

Outstanding food, and very quick service - even though they were extremely busy, and VERY large servings with just-off-the-grill heat...LOVED IT!!

Service is so quick, staff are very friendly and the food is amazing!!

Had the chicken fried steak sandwich... it was delicious. Fresh lettuce and tomatoe, perfect amount of mayo... great sandwich

Good menu good service and lots of items

Great place and definitely worth our 30 min drive. BBQ, chicken and wings are all delicious. Brunswick stew is some of the best I've found anywhere. Family friendly with super nice staff and affordable prices.

Good food, great service, love this place

Just average BBQ. Nothing special. I wouldn't go back. The staff were very nice and there was a great view of the mountains while eating.

Fair price with a wide variety. Good smoky meats, choice between sugar base or vinegar, red or white slaw. What more could you ask for?

this place is a national treasure. the barbecue. impeccable. the prices. unmatched. the menu. expansive. the decor. a sight to behold. go immediately.

This NC gal knows BBQ and this place is spot on! Excellent vinegar based sauce and their meat has a wonderful balance of seasoning and smoky flavor. They also have great side dishes. My kids devour their corn nuggets, while my favorite is the hush puppies. The new management has added items to the menu and upgraded the soda machine. The dining room is on the smaller side but we always get ours to go anyway.

First time trying this place and was very pleased. The food was fresh, quick, and delicious! Also tried their turtle pie and it was amazing!! Super friendly and pleasant staff as well. Give this place a try if you're in the area and want a delicious meal.

Awesome I was in and out quickly. Great service and amazing food!!!!!! Must go !

Large menu and fast service. 4 bbq sandwiches for $25 is a great deal. Inside and outside seating. Self serve drink station. Plenty of parking.

Best food around. We eat there usually twice a week. Bbq is absolutely awesome, best fish sandwich I've ever had. Tried most items on menu and never been disappointed. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommended, a must try.

Great service and super friendly staff. Been eating here for 20 yrs and never have been disappointed!!

Have been here several times and will go back. Burgers are fantastic-fresh, big, delicious. Chicken tenders were moist inside, crispy outside. But best of all was the pork bbq and sauce- had some catered and everyone loved it! Super friendly staff and fast service.

Love love love Boss Hogs. Great everything, just take your pick. And those cornbread sticks are the best.

Good food at a very reasonable price. I can call in an order and it is always hot and ready in 10 or 15. I really like this little place. A great locally owned business to support during the covid 19 times.

Corn nuggets were good the wings were average but the sauce was very runny and even the hot was very mild. BBQ was average but didn't care for the red slaw, just preference though.

A good place to pick up lunch.

Very good. Excellent BBQ, red slaw and onion rings. And sauce!

Great little local BBQ. This place has something for everyone. Friendly people and great BBQ!

One of the best I've had in a long time. Live the fish sandwich

Best bbq in Terrill if u havnt had the boss hog bbq sandwich well your missing out on great food and vibes

Ran up on this place and had to stop in. Nice location, small inside but the BBQ was amazing. Had the Boss Hog sandwich, $5.45 and an order of hush puppies, $2.40. Both were delicious. Sandwich was loaded with BBQ, slaw and pickle. Trust me,, it was a meal.Definitely a stop if you're in the area.

great half chicken, n hush puppies , so hot sweet tea n sweet ladies get there and find out

Below average Barbeque. Ribs are their best option. They are well cooked so the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Place is not nice at all. Looks old and not very well taken care of. Prices are good. Staff is nice. Feel bad giving them 3 stars but can't see this place with 4 stars. Not a bad option for a quick, inexpensive BBQ stop.

GREAT fish sandwick... fast service too!

The management at Boss Hog is awesome as well as the staff.... the burgers are awesome and so is the seafood and everything else highly recommended!!! great prices as well!!!!

Great bbq, excellent service, very clean restaurant

Fish sandwiches were on point. Great price and portion size. Cole slaw and tartar sauce. Not too salty. Fried well. BBQ sandwiches excellent as well. Fries were wonderful. Ribs were meh.

This place is alright. Its not the best around but for sure not the worst. Prices are on point but nothing I would go out of my way to get. It seemed like one of those small town joints that is more of a tradition than good food. Prob should give 3 stars but they are good enough that I dont want to hurt their score.

Good bbq! Generous helping! Small awkward space.

They have remodeled with a nice fresh look. Enjoy their food when I need to make a quick stop and go.

Great little joint. Good menu options for those who aren't fans of pork, but sadly, no beef brisket. The smoked chicken is good, as are the hamburgers. I haven't tried the whole list to know what else is good. The banana pudding Is right, be sure to save room for dessert! **Update- Thursday features a brisket special, and it is delicious!

Spicy (Hot) BBQ Sauce to strong on the Vinegar flavor. Love the regular sauce. BBQ was tender, moist and not an over powering of Smoky Taste.

Good food. Not just the BBQ. Quick service.

On our way to Ohio, for a terribly planned trip over a holiday weekend, we stumbled upon Boss Hog’s just before we fainted from hunger. As soon as we walked in, the smell of rich, fresh BBQ smacked us in the face. There are only 2 photos here, halfway through eating because it was so tasty we couldn’t slow down. The Boss Hog burger my husband got was like the best version of a Carolina Classic I’ve ever tasted. And oh, don’t you dare forget those corn nuggets. Oh. My. Glob. If you find yourself up this way, do yourself a favor and grab some grub. You won’t regret it.

Just close at 7. No-one at your business wants to take an order in your last hour of being open. "oh, we're sorry, we can only take orders of 25 wings instead of 10" Math is hard. I'll just stick with The Landing. Looks like the new management at Boss Hot needs new management again... ...

Cheese steak was awesome

This place has been around a good while. I find that the bbq is too dry. The hush puppys were hard and dry. It might have been a bad day im not putting them down. I don't eat there that often. Its history and it will get better.

Great staff. The service was quick. The bbq is good and the sides were good also. Food was fresh and hot.

One of the best hotdogs I’ve ever had, everything on the menu is excellent!!

Best food establishment in Catawba County, large variety of food so even the pickiest eaters have choices. Very nice staff with quite the family friendly atmosphere. Love it. 10/10 recommend
