Hog Heaven Sports Bar & Grille

A nice surprise off Overseas Highway in Islamorada, Hog Heaven has a menu that varies from (delicious) BBQ to fresh fish. They even have their own house beer.

For lunch, we ordered the pulled pork BBQ sandwich (absolutely fantastic, definitely order this!) and the fried dolphin (mahi mahi, for those not used to proper fish names). Order the onion straws, they were so very good and unlike anything we've ever had.

When you arrive, walk through the bar and indoor dining room to the outdoor patio and deck that faces the ocean, where there is patio seat (under a porch roof) and deck seating (under umbrellas).

Pulled Pork and Gravy

Gravy on BBQ? Sure, at Hog Heaven in Canton, OH. This is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner while visiting the Pro Football Hall of Fame (which is just a few blocks away).

We ordered the Barbequed Hog and the Pulled Pork and Gravy. The pulled pork was moist and delicious, and served in big heaping portions.

I want to swim in Hog Heaven’s barbeque sauce, it’s delicious and fantastic on both the pulled pork and fries, and the bread, and, well, everything. It’s just that freakin’ good.

The gravy on the Pulled Pork and Gravy was also very good. It didn’t overpower the pork while adding an additional layer of flavor. It was also served with the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten.

Hog Heaven also bottles their own sodas. We tried the vanilla cream soda, which was delicious. Very creamy and refreshing. They also make strawberry, orange, and black cherry. If you’re stopping here for a meal, opt for one of their sodas rather than the traditional.

The portions here are HUGE! But delicious and cooked perfectly. Definitely worth stopping here for a bite to eat.
