Dr. Hogly Wogly’s Tyler Texas BBQ
$$ | (818) 780-6701 | WEBSITE
If it’s been a while since you’ve had proper barbecue, do the right thing and head to Dr. Hogly Wogly’s Tyler Texas BBQ. Make the trip, and get the brisket, some baby back ribs, and a side of coleslaw. The brisket is juicy with a sweet flavor that melts in your mouth, while the ribs are legendary and fall-off-the-bone tender. The coleslaw is a tasty, slightly sweet complement that cuts through the richness of the meat.
In the fun, old-school ambiance with wood-paneled walls and booths for families, you’ll find a playlist of late ’70s disco and ’80s pop setting the mood. The service is friendly, making you feel right at home. Even vegetarians can enjoy sides like coleslaw, sweet potato fries, and sweet potato pie. People travel from nearby cities for the hearty triple platter or a simple plate of brisket. Though the mild BBQ sauce is too mild and the hot one too hot, mixing them creates the perfect balance.
After 45 years, this place remains a living testament to endurance and kindness, where every detail is steeped in Americana.
