HogsHead Cafe

The photos don’t do it any justice! I went on a Tuesday night, and was sat immediately. I ordered a hogarita which was really good and the menu had more options than I thought it would so it took me a minute to order. My server Edith was very patient with me. 😊 I ended up getting the she crab soup which was so good and then I got the surf and turf with ribs and shrimp. Chefs kiss! Now I have to go back to try everything else that looked good on the menu.

Had a great dinner stop here yesterday. I ordered the Shrimp & Corm Chowder to start and it was excellent! The Au Gratin Potatoes were incredible…razor thin sliced, built like lasagna, lots of butter, cheese, and garlic. Pulled pork was good, and their spicy Carolina BBQ sauce was great on top. The corn pudding was good, although way too sweet for me. Not a complaint at all, I just stay away from the sweeter dishes.
Overall, and excellent dinner. They have a wide variety to appeal to everyone, along with a full bar. I would definitely go back, and recommend a stop there as well!

Loved the menu, the ambiance and the staff. Ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Tacos. They were so good I went back the next week.

Pleasantly surprised. The pulled pork is their specialty for a reason, it is amazing but definitely try other items on the menu. The burger was done perfect "cookout style": slightly charred outside, juicy inside. The chicken tenders were buttermilk batter coated, delicious.
The upstairs entertainment was excellent. Had a great evening.
The service was the best selling point: fast and friendly. Always attentive and ready to help.
Prices are reasonable for a West End restaurant of this quality.
Highly recommended.

I visited HogsHead years ago when it was a small restaurant a little further up West Broad. I remember eating the Cuban sandwich then, and I was still thinking about it after all this time, lol. The new restaurant is much larger with an upstairs and outside seating both downstairs and up.

I ordered the Cuban Hog, and it was as good as I remember. It had the perfect ratio of ham and pork, and the sweet potato fries were so crispy and delicious. My fiancé enjoyed his Hog Burger that was topped with pork and bacon. We also ordered the Hog wings in spicy garlic and were not expecting full-size wings. The wings are under the appetizers but are a meal by themselves, with enough for leftovers. There was so much taste. Also, the original flavored limeade was perfection. I really enjoyed the meal and the portions were huge for the price. I will be back.

When it comes to BBQ, this restaurant is one of the best in the area. I am part of a Meetup group and I've been here several times. This restaurant is a great place to have group events. The food is amazing and the service is great as well. If you're in the Henrico area then I highly recommend Hogshead Cafe.

Now if you wish to have a down home southern cuisine experience then this establishment will give you that. From the Sweet Tea, Limeades, chili cheese fries, Hog Sampler, Hush Puppies, Blackberry Cobbler, Banana Pudding, etc. I guess I am sharing most of the menu and the Crab Cakes and Catfish as well. We left this establishment STUFFED and how could I forget the Wings (Barbecue and Hot). It was just so much but it was a great time. So go and visit Hogshead Cafe for the full down home southern experience.

Amazing, large wings. The shrimp po boy was great as well. All the food exceeded my expectations.

A really nice sit down and relax BBQ eatery. Wonderful atmosphere (cross between sports bar/family restaurant/club). Went with my girlfriend, who ordered their pint of peel and eat shrimp(also comes in a quart). I ordered their hog dog. Beef Frank w/ pulled pork and coleslaw (all piled on top of the dog!) And fried apples. Started with a fried mushroom appetizer. They were some of the best fried mushrooms I've ever had. Finished with a a carrot cheesecake that is to die. Service was fantastic. Will definitely be going back again.

I have found a new favorite appetizer and that is Hogsheads Crab Pretzel! So cheesy and amazing. I also got the Fried Pickles, Catfish Reuben, and Buffalo Oyster Poboy. Too good!! Go try them!!

I was seated quickly, Got our drinks quickly AND got our food quickly. Our waiter was extremely nice, The food was amazing. I don't know our waiters name but I know he was a fighter he has a big mark on his eyebrow. Excellent waiter.

I have been forever spoiled...I can only order the Catfish Reuben. So good! Side of crispy sweet potato fries with maple mustard sauce is divine! Top it off with fresh limeade. Run and enjoy!

A little hole in the wall BUT they have really good food!! Perfectly seasoned. Huge portions and reasonably priced with fast service. My husband said his ribs were the best he's ever eaten.

The food was delicious and lots of options. The staff was really nice and accommodating to our group. Will definitely be back!

Thankfully, we had a delicious lunch here at HogsHead Cafe in Richmond VA. I had a delicious chef salad with blackened chicken. My step-mother and step-sister told me they liked their sandwiches. Driving from Farmville VA, I could easily get there by following my GPS directions. I highly recommend coming here for a nice lunch!

Had an amazing brunch here with my son. Highlights were the attentive service, the pretzel with beer cheese and the bacon.

Fantastic place to stop while gigging in the area, the service was amazing the speed the food came out was ridiculously fast, not to mention really really good. The local beer on tap 'Vienna Lager' was the best I have had while on the road. And will definitely be stopping when in town. Oh and might I recommend the 'pineapple upside-down cake' ...

Great barbecue. The starters of Tots was amazing. Our whole family was scrapping the plate. It was really good. The Carolina Sauce was so good that we brought a bottle to take home. It was spicy vinegar sauce. All the food from the Mac Cheese to Pulled Pork Sandwiches to Baby Back Ribs was so good. We will come again if you want barbecue. We highly recommend this place.

Honestly Hogshead Cafe far exceeded my expectations. The Fried Porkchops were really good, the greens were prepared fresh, and the Mac & cheese was good. Our server was very friendly and remained focused on all of her tables. My only disappointment was the size of the sides items, but that is only because I found them to be very good and I didn't have enough. 😏 Will definitely be back.

I remember an old co-worker use to tell me to check out this spot. When I moved to the West End it was one of the first places I ordered from and I must say…YUMMM 😋 I’ve had few items from the menu, but this beer cheese crab pretzel is out of this world!! It’s huge too! Another fave of mine are the chicken tiki tacos with a side of ranch. I like introducing people to this place when they come visit.

They also have a nice outdoor seating area as well!
