Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was a good suggestion to book a table for 7 people in Hog Wild.
They do have large tables for groups ....
No doubt, the "Hog" dishes are really good and we liked very much the "Jagung Bakar" ....
It is just the right restaurant for an excellent meal .... Enjoy it.

I haven't found a place to beat it yet. We would hit this once a month when we lived in Bali and luckily, despite Covid, it hasn't changed.
Staff are quick, efficient, and will put on a dance for you if you order a special cocktail (you don't really have to do this but my missus loves it). There's a few other menu items but it's ribs you want. Some people reckon they're a bit sweet but I reckon it's awesome. A good feed and always cooked perfectly - meat just falls off the bone.
Wash it down with a few Bintangs and job's right. Near the beach, on one of the main drags, and even better - there is actual car parking out the back if you're like us and don't like biking at night. Get on in.

Hog Wild’s pork ribs is a walkover Naughty Nuri’s any time! The meat is so flavourful and tender, it just fell off the bones when you pick it.
Nuri’s is way too overrated and expensive. Meat is tough like rubber, i had a hard time removing the meat stuck in between my teeth!
If you want quality food and great price, Hog Wild is a no brainer!

Seriously disappointing. Ribs were rushed out to me about 1 minute after ordering, obviously pre-prepared and not properly heated through. Meat was tough and bland and portion size small. The accompanying onion rings were barely edible. At Rp200,000 for this meal the place is just a rip off. Which is probably why it was empty at 8pm in the evening. Avoid and go elsewhere.

Dear @danwoodley3,
We take all customer complaints very seriously, and yours is no exception. We rarely receive feedback like yours, which shows that our meals and service are usually exceptionally good. We have investigated and checked thoroughly with our team immediately. We have made sure that our foods are served at the best standard quality the day you visit. Also, our Manager on duty visited your table to ask for feedback, and your answer was all good.
There's no way we are serving ribs one minute after a customer orders, that's not our standard! We do offer an upsized option for our ribs though, which is 650 g, and the standard one is 550 g.
For the onion ring, could you explain more what do you mean by barely edible? Is it the taste or crispiness?
We are saddened to be labeled "rip off." All the prices, we have calculated carefully and we haven't made changes for a long time, noted that the ingredients price increases.
We do hope to see you back in near future to our pigpen for a better dining experience!
Stay safe and stay healthy! 🙏
Wild Cheers,
Mikha on behalf of Hog Wild with Chef Bruno's Family

This rest looks very authentic and couzy same time. The reality: very slow service, drinks brought after food, side dish after main (seems impossible, but true). Pitcher of sangria for 30 bucks - just a liter of sparkling water with splash of wine, even without ice. Very bad.

Dear Denis,
Thank you kindly for taking the time to share your feedback. We strive to provide our guests with the best possible food, and when it fails to meet our expectations, it is important for us to know so we can take appropriate measure.
We regret that you had an unpleasant experience with our food service. You came around 10 PM last night, and because it was a busy day, we had to again make most of our side dish from scratch, and that was the reason you got it a bit later. Nonetheless, we should have advised you of this.
The above negligence actually does not reflect our service standards. nevertheless, we can assure you that similar situation will not happen again.
Re. the Sangria by pitcher, it was made a la minute based on the order in. We have discussed with our bar team to make few adjustments and serving the Sangria in ice bucket to keep it cold.
Despite your disappointment, we thank you for your feedback and we do hope that we may welcome you back again to our pig pen soon to experience our excellent food and service.
Sincerely,
Julie Liu

Coming here since it was still Naughty Nuri. After the take over this place has maintained all its standards. Pork ribs are still tender, pricing is well in order. Don’t bother with Naughty Nuri Seminyak, it’s a sell out and the food doesn’t even come close.

Should not missed this place when you are in Bali. Well known for their pork ribs, and it tastes heavenly good. You should try the pork knuckles too if you are into crispy pork. The sauce is a good option if you like spicy food.
For me, it is quite big portion, that we could share 2-3 person.
A portion of pork ribs cost you around IDR 150K. But guarantee worthy for the price you pay.

One of the best pork ribs in town. Meat is so tender. Smokey smell from the pork ribs with bbq sauce. Don’t miss their pork ribs when you come to Bali. Price is OK. Staff is good. Onion ring taste so good 🥰 Also we got a delicious free chocolate dessert. For my Asian tummy, this pork ribs enough for 2 persons. Because we still order another food such as sausage and ugh i have no idea what the English name for fried samcan. Grab your beer, enjoy your pork ribs.

The best beef skewer and crispy duck I’ve ever tried.. The staff are sooo friendly and the ambience is nice! A must place to visit when you’re around Batu Belig. They have the signature cocktails called “Brutal Martini” and you will get an amazing performance by the staff once you ordered. You should kindly go wild with hog wild!

Amazing service, there was a group of us so we had the pork knuckle, kebab, ribs, duck and tuna stake. We all shared and even though big portions finished every little bit off. It was all delicious . 10/10 quality. My favourite was the ribs and will be coming back. To finish we ordered cocktails- and served with a shake shake dance which made us all laugh. Very happy

We went for dinner. A good friend advised us to order the ribs.
We first started with a drink, a very good cold beer from the tap and a Margarita cocktail. Of you order a cocktail they will bring and serve this with?...A lot of fun! Try it!
We orderd the Dare to Rib. One portion was enough for us, it came with fries.
It was super delicious. So tender and very good seasoned.
Staff professional and very customer focussed.
I like to make one comment it is regarding the wine. We do not like the Plaga wines. For us it tast like a medicine. At this moment there are two wine brands with a very good quality wine. Two Islands , especialy the Rosé wine and Cape Discovery, a wine from Australia but bottled in the North of Bali.

We visited and ate here twice and the food was good and the place had a nice vibe. The hog related decor was super and gave lots of interest, including a huge hog suspended from the ceiling and iconic pictures such as the Mona Lisa with a pig face!
Staff were friendly and efficient and prices good. Try the "porn corn"!!!!
