This is a family style, neighborhood restaurant. I had a fantastic overall experience. I Was there on a summer weeknight at 5:30 pm. The restaurant was busy but well managed. I received a friendly greeting when I entered from Simone my waitress. Drink promptly offered and brought, menu explained. I had, fried pork skin, 2 large pulled pork sandwiches, half a slab of ribs, and coleslaw. I like the character of the BBQ. It was smokey and tender. The sauce was very good as well. I like a little more heat but had no complaints. When I was paying the owner (former service member from the picture out front) was asked how I enjoyed the meal. Very friendly... Good thing I dont live close by...I wouldnt fit in my car.

First time customer today and WOW I was blown away!! Ive ate a lot of BBQ in Texas, but this was hands down my favorite. I usually dont prefer chicken, but after eating a bite of my husbands, I couldnt keep my hands off his plate. The ribs were also so soft they fell right off the bone. Staff is very friendly and the owner personally came to speak to each table to ensure everything was great. We will definitely stop here again!

I came back to visit my old stomping grounds from Oakland, CA and tool my girlfriend here. We eat red meat once a week so I wanted to bring her to one of the best places to eat BBQ in the southern US. This place was amazing! The sliced beef sandwich and chopped beef dinner with potato salad, cole slaw, and fried okra are world class items on the menu. This is a definite cosmopolitan travelers choice eatery. Bon a petite!

I had the rib/ribblet dinner with baked beans and potato salad. My wife had the catfish and rib dinner with slaw and sweet potato fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. I dont know how Ive lived in Conway for 10 years and never been here. Seriously, go right now. Oh, and did I mention we also had the best chocolate cake that either of us have had in our lives!! 5 stars because it wont allow me to give more.

The best bbq hands down!! I met the owner while I was at work one night and he said to come check him out, so I finally got around to it and I was FAR from disappointed! Had the pulled pork sandwich and it was everything you could want! Tender meat, great sauce topped with a nice soft bun! It doesnt get any better! Definitely check them out because they are doing bbq in all the right ways!

OMGoodness. Yall need to drive straight past those other BBQ places and come here! The pork and beef melt in your mouth. The smoked boudin sandwich was superb especially for someone whos not from Louisana making it! The owner was on site and working just as hard as the waitress, he was very friendly and actually sat down to talk to every table. We will be returning!

Food good and generous helpings. Had pulled pork, good sauce. Daughter had cheeseburger, it was juicy and the special sauce really good and big. Older lady wait staff bossy and seemed angry, told me what I would have, and argued with walk in patron, he almost left, he commented as she went to place his order, "if the food was not good, i would have just left"

The ribs at Hog Pen are the best Ive had in the country. Not just in Conway...the country! Compared even to Memphis ribs & their many BBQ places - these fall off the bone & without all the sauce. Great dry rub. And you should definitely try the twice cooked chicken - not dry & full of flavor!

My favorite barbecue joint anywhere in the area. Smoked and pulled pork or beef, tasty ribs, boudin sausage, fresh pork skins. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful. They dont take credit cards, so be sure to bring cash or check. Oh yeah, and dont forget your appetite!

Man, oh man do these folks do BBQ right!!! You know it is going to be good when you get out of the car and smell that wood smoke and...well, I just cant quite describe it. The pulled pork is delicious but if you want a little taste of heaven, the ribs are are where it is at.

I absolutely love this food!! The potato salad is the best Ive ever had and the pulled pork is fantastic!!!!! Only problem is the hours..we came in at 745 on a Sat night and had to go downtown. I wish they would stay open till at least 9! Keep up the great work

Incredible food: pork rinds appetizer, dry rib platter with potato salad, baked beans, and hush puppies (with honey for dipping). My wife and I split the meal and still had leftovers. A family owned/run joint with tremendous southern hospitality. Loved it!

The first time I had the ribs and my wife had fish. It was very good. We have been back regularly. We have tried most everything. It is all very good.

BBQ is average at best, service is bad and prices are pretty high. Been there twice and service was bad both times.
