What People Are Saying About Doctor Hogly Wogly Tyler Texas

In Short – Faux wood paneling, dime-store oil paintings and silk plants make this tiny eatery feel like a rec room. A veteran kitchen staff piles platters high with massive portions of brisket, hot links, smoked chicken and secret-marinade beef ribs. Meals come with two sides--tangy baked beans and macaroni salad with chopped celery are favorites. A small selection of classic Southern desserts includes sweet-potato pie and pecan pie a la mode.

Since when is BBQ cooked in an oven?!

by Janellica

When my husband and I first moved from Texas to LA, we thought we try our luck on going to Doctor Hogly Wogly's on the claim of having Texas quality BBQ and from Tyler no less. We are from the Austin and College Station area and have had every kind of BBQ imaginable all across the state. Needless to say we were not impressed with the food at all. The meat tasted like it had been broiled in the oven and of course no sign of smokers anywhere, which is a must at any good BBQ joint. The Texas hospitality was there for sure. Our waitress was very nice, but did not overshadow the food. If you are from LA, you will probably like this place but if you are not it's a waste of time. People of LA this is NOT what BBQ is supposed to taste like. Just a friendly FYI.

Pros: Very nice staff
Cons: BBQ tastes like it has been broiled in the oven.

Pretty good BBQ

by Sheauen

My bf has been trying to get me to agree with Hogly Woglys for a while. We were running errands out in the SFV and he drove us out of the way to eat here. its saying a lot if he's driving out of the way to get some grub.

I think i have pretty exacting standards for BBQ (despite being asian). My best friends dad BBQ's every three day holiday and Uncle Stevies BBQ is hands down the best.

Hogly Woglys is a good stop gap when a 3day weekend isn't in sight. The portions are huge. We ate until we were stuffed and still had to take home the leftovers (which they pack up for you in a plastic bag)

I can't say the sides wowed me, they were kinda unmemorable, but the BBQ was good. Love their sauce.

This is not a date place. This is a get your hands dirty, bbq sauce on your face, elbows out, lick your fingers kinda place.

Kudos to my bf for knowing good bbq. 1 minus point for considering it a date place.

Pros: Huge Portions, good sauce.
Cons: Not a Date Place

One of the best BBQ joints in LA

by bkbigfish

This is seriously one of the best BBQ spots in all of LA. Can't say much for the sides, but that's okay, the ribs, brisket and links more than make up for it. The employees here look like they were transplanted from Texas...I guess that's a good sign. :)
