Hillsborough BBQ Company

Walking into this barbecue joint, I was greeted by a laid-back, casual atmosphere that seemed promising. The service was genuinely great, and I ordered a half-pound of brisket with mac and cheese and collard greens, all of which came out looking well-presented at first glance. You’ll see from the picture I’m sharing that the brisket looked unappetizing right from the start. Gray and dry. Despite the menu claiming it was soaked overnight, it turned out dry and lacking in flavor, forcing me to rely on salt and the table barbecue sauce just to make it palatable. The collard greens were decent—about a 8.5 out of 10—flavorful, though a bit too salty. Well, I guess I found where all the salt went. The mac and cheese, on the other hand, was a true highlight—creamy, delicious, and easily a 10 ou

Cute location and good service. Food is severely lacking. I ordered the brisket sandwich with macaroni and cheese. I’m certain the brisket was cooked in a crockpot as it had zero flavor and the Texas toast was soggy. We also had hush puppies and fried okra, theses were definitely the freezer section special and weren’t really anything special. Will not be a return customer.

Best BBQ in town! This place is a must-visit for any BBQ lover. Their beef brisket is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, perfectly smoked and seasoned just right. You can really taste the quality and the care they put into the cooking. The casual bar vibe adds to the relaxed atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to grab a cold drink and enjoy some seriously good food. Whether you're with friends or family, it's a great place to kick back and enjoy top-notch BBQ. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I will give 3.5 star. I see they tried to do the best. Catfish portion is small, but taste very good. Brisket portion is reasonal. TOAST is overly done. Food came out quick. Plenty of parking. We will come back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hillsborough BBQ is an absolute must-visit for any barbecue lover! From the moment you walk in, the smoky aroma and inviting atmosphere set the stage for a fantastic meal. The menu is packed with mouthwatering options, and everything is cooked to perfection. Free parking. Ribs are ready after 5pm daily. Staff is amazing friendly and kind. I tried the pulled pork, and it was incredibly tender and flavorful, just the way BBQ should be. The house-made sauces are a highlight; I loved the variety and the option to customize my plate. The sides are equally impressive—the mac and cheese is creamy and rich, and the coleslaw perfectly complements the smoky meats. The service is top-notch as well. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend their favorites. The casua
