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.

OMG! Best ribs, pulled pork we’ve ever had! We had a party of 7 so we literally ordered everything on menu! Everything was excellent, fell of the bone, tender, juicy and so flavoursome. If you craving some bbq get yourself there! The hog father and...his wife were so sweet too. They also sell larger on tap and sell aspel cider which my father in law loves!More

Once you try hog-father pork rips BBQ, you'll not be able to fall again with others. It's succulent staying with full texture. Besides, here you can find such a nice craft Beer and more delicious menu as side-dish. Don't forget to order fish n chip,...you'll surely love his Ta-TA sauce.More

Ate here twice in a week, if you're looking for BBQ in Phuket look no further. The pitmaster has smokers built from scratch and a passion for BBQ that is rare. Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get, beer comes ice cold and the...BBQ is just amazing.More

Just love the food here! Just like home. Real American barbecue. So glad they made it through the past 2 years. Everything on the menu is great. Pulled pork, ribs, brisket and chicken. Even the mashed potatoes and coleslaw! Yummy!

A good place to get some straightforward bbq fare. Had some ribs and the meat was just sliding from the bone. Good flavor. Not pretentious at all, just honest, reasonably priced, good BBQ comfort food with friendly service.

I was slightly sceptical at American BBQ in thailand... but damn this is great! The pulled pork and ribs were spot on the brisket was juicy and the burger talk about delicious. The pit master is an awesome bloke too was kind enough to take...time out of his day for a chat and to show me his 2 pits. Great food amd service for sure and all goes well with an ice cold beer cant wait to head back for another feed!More

.....easy on the prices. This is Phuket and not London! Get your prices back in line and you will enjoy much more business I am sure of it. Good luck with your high season and keep making delicious slow cooked food.

The food is delicious. I've been here serveral times with friends. Great place to hangout- they have many beers on tap. The signature is the pulled pork and brisket. I always salther mine with more bbq sauce and order a side of jalepinos to balance...out the fattyness. My mouth is watering now. I will be back soon! Great Parking too. a little hot i suggest some more fans as there's also many mosquitos around. But they open and close on random days. I have pulled up and it was closed. Tip: Call ahead!More
