The Hickory Hog - Jersey's Best BBQ Restaurant Opened in 2007, we are an award-winning BBQ restaurant that slowly smokes all our ribs and meats with hickory, mesquite and apple wood in our state-of-the art smoker with everything made to order. We are located in Point Pleasant, but it's an easy drive from Manasquan, Brick, Toms River or the Jersey Shore! Available for take-out, delivery or we also cater large events!
