We stop here EVERY time we are in Hiawassee. The food is so good and the people are wonderful. You can not beat the BBQ but try out the loaded baked potato (it is a full meal) and the hot dogs are soooooo good. Ready to go back again!

We are BBQ lovers. We saw this on Trip Advisor so decided to stop, and the reviews are spot on. It's a small house, very casual - order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The servings are not overwhelming (which is perfect for me). My husband is 6' 9" and did not fill up. We both... More

I admit I heard about this place on Trip Advisor. We were passing through last week and I insisted we skip our usual stop at a heavy southern food cafe for this small restaurant. It was a good move. I love BBQ but I try to watch my fat and calorie intake too. We both ordered the chopped pork sandwich.... More

If you like real good BBQ, Happy Hawg is for you! Great pork and chicken BBQ sandwhiches and sides. Going to have the ribs on the next visit. Feel sure they will have to expand the space once everyone tastes how good it is. Great service, and great prices! You will not be disappointed. Should you have unexpected company, this... More

My wife and son and I recently visited here. I was a little worried because it said open pit barbecue and there is not a pit to be seen anywhere.

This BBQ pork and chicken is truly smoked. Both are mouthwatering and need no sauce. The sauce just adds a little "pep". We are lucky to have such a tasty stop for BBQ in Hiawassee. I like the macaroni salad because it has a lot of mayo. The cole slaw is o.k. and the beans are good. The meats are... More

This is a really cool joint. The owner and staff are super friendly and down to earth. I felt at home and comfortable. We ordered pulled pork sandwiches Mac and cheese coleslaw and baked beans... The pulled pork is chopped very yummy the real thing. Mac and cheese was average. Coleslaw I didn't care for but the hubby liked, it... More

The Happy Hawg is, in my opinion, the best local business in Hiawassee! Period. The owner and staff are very friendly. Like the folks at CHEERS, they always know your name. But I know you are reading this to find out about the food. It is outstanding. The ribs are superior -- meaty with very little fat -- smoked to... More

The building is tiny but the chopped BBQ sure has big flavor! Yum. Not a fancy place but great service, fast, friendly and most importantly great BBQ. It is obviously made with care by the staff. I really enjoyed my visit and will be back.
