The owner of Whole Hog Cafe North Little Rock, Rich Cosgrove, answers a question he's frequently asked: Why did you get into the barbeque business?

Whole Hog Cafe NLR caters for more than 2,300 groups a year. We offer catering for groups of all sizes, catering on short notice, and will even provide setup service at your desired location.

If you haven't tried our tender, lean, and juicy pork loin, you are missing out on something very special. We hand rub big pork loins with our special blend of spices - used exclusively on our pork loin.

Try it on a sandwich, salad, baked potato, nachos, or better still -  just gobble it up as.

Wednesdays are pork loin special days - $2.00 off any pork loin item. Trust us, you need this.

We have a lot of fans of our nine different sauces (six on the table, plus Volcano, White Gold, and The Shack Sauce at the counter), but by far the most enthusiastic fans are those of Number Six, our mustard-based sauce.

These wonderful people do!

Check out some action shots of people enjoying good food and having a grand time in our photo gallery here.

People sometimes ask us: "Do you cater?". Well, um, yes, yes we do - LOTS AND LOTS.

We cater probably 6 or 7 jobs daily - all different sizes, delivery or full-service. And we make it easy!

The Perfect Gift for Your BBQ Lover

'Tis the season for barbecue! While we don't advise putting barbecue directly into your loved ones' stockings, our gift cards will fit perfectly, and now is the perfect time to buy them. We're helping spread the saucy love by giving away free gift cards when you buy a gift card worth at least $50.
