Went to The Hog Pit in Tucson this last weekend. Anybody else been? It is a newer smokehouse restaurant/replaced the Taco Bron that used to be on Tanque Verde on the Northeast side of town.
Seems to cater to Bikers/always has a lot of Harley Davidson types. I guess the Hog Pit refers to the bike + the meat. Speaking of which, I have mixed feelings on the meat. Got the combo which includes ribs, chopped pork, sliced brisket, and sausage (hot links). Got beans as a side. I chose the Voodoo sauce and the fellow I was with chose the Black Magic sauce (he also got the combo so I was able to sample both sauces). The ribs and beans were terrible - ribs were cooked too long & the beans were tasteless/boring. The pork/brisket were ok but had so much sauce on them that I couldn't taste the meat very well...both sauces were very spicy and I hate to see them overwhelm any flavor the meat may have. The plate came with one half of a hot link (with no sauce on it) which....was freaking awesome! If I ever go back it will be to get a full plate of sausage/hot links (hopefully that's a dish - I didn't see it).
Probably won't be going back unless I happen to be in the area & am dying for BBQ... I hope somebody else has a better experience if they eat here.
