This is the First Entry in my food journal which I'm entitling Forks, Knives and Nametags. Tonight Elder Gleave and I were patrons at Hawg Fathers BBQ. When I do these reviews I'm going to cover what I feel are the 4 main categories of a fine dining experience I will be rating them on a 1-5 scale 1st Service 2nd Bang for your Buck 3rd Atmosphere and 4th Quality of the food. 1st Service 3 We had to wait a while to be seated while there were tables open. But the food came in a timely manner. Our waitress was pretty friendly and the Owner, Hawg Father himself came and asked how the meal was going. 2nd Bang for your Buck 3 I thought the beef brisket that I ordered was pretty reasonable for the amount I got but the other items like the steaks and ribs were all over $20. Those better be world class steaks if you're gonna charge an arm and a leg for them. 3rd Atmosphere 2 Atmosphere is a vitally important part of the dining experience. I wasn't too impressed. I didn't like the Bar being so simple and plain and in the way. The chairs were all on rollers and our table wobbled. I would have like to have seen some decor related to the Hawg Father. The menu and the name and everything features the hog, but why not the decorations? They had 5 TVs that were all on CMT. Not the best. When I go to a BBQ place i want country music. If they had country music videos playing that would be awesome, but the MTV like shows on CMT aren't doin it for me! Gimme that Country!! 4th Quality of the Food 5 the food is what really takes this place to the next level The brisket was really good. It was tender and seasoned well. It came with thick thick steak fries seasoned in a Caijon style dust. It went perfectly with the Father's Homemade ketchup. It had a nice mustard potato salad with it. The best part though was the sauce. I've had a lot of BBQ and I've had better cooked brisket but, I'm not sure if I've evert tasted a BBQ sauce as good as Hawg Father's homemade sauce. I launched my Brisket into the extraordinary and earned them a 5 in my review. It was a sweet tangy vinegar sauce. The first taste was honey sweet but the longer it sat in your mouth the more the spice comes into play. IT leaves your mouth with a slight burn and a desire for the next sugary bit to cool it. It's a beautiful cycle of Burning and Quenching. It was a really really good meal. Definitely a great way to kick off Forks Knives and Nametags. Next week, We put Hawg Fathers into the ring to contend with Macon's other Famous BBQ joint Raspberry's BBQ It'll be a heavyweight title match you won't want to miss!!
