Hogwood In Franklin, TN?

[Sid P]

Has anyone been to Hogwood in Franklin, TN? It gets very good reviews, but if I had a nickel for every highly reviewed barbecue place I’ve been to that was mediocre… It’s five minutes from my hotel, so I may end up there either way, but I want to keep my expectations in check. Thanks.

My in-laws live in the area, but I haven't been to Hogwood. Interested to know if it lives up to the hype. Or go a couple of miles further north up I-65 and you can be at Corky's.

Steve R. So you like Corky’s? I see they also have good reviews, but I’m always a little skeptical of places with multiple locations. Not sure if that’s fair or not….

[Steve R.]

That skepticism is definitely reasonable, Sid P . I have been there once, probably close to 10 years ago, and liked it a lot. My taste in bbq has evolved since joining this site 5+ yrs ago, so I'm actually curious about how I would rate it today. I haven't been to the original in Memphis, so I can't compare it to that.

Take pictures, write up a review,
If they have PBR that will do.

That’s the plan.

Haven’t tried Hogwood, but Jim and Nick’s probably isn’t too far (Cool Spring’s area). That was our go to place for BBQ before I stopped going out and started cooking it myself. Good food and value for the portions.
