Hi - Ho 2

I was expecting good food when I got home last night only to open up this garbage of what y'all called a BBQ. Absolutely redonkulious!

Normally a great place to go for a burger. And service is typically consistently good. Tonight was a big departure. We ordered 2 drinks, a hamburger, cheese burger and a large sweet potato fry. When the food came out, they gave us regular fries instead of sweet potato. When I told her that the order was wrong and that we had ordered a large sweet potato fry, she said I only heard “large fry” but acknowledged that we had been debating beteeen a small and large sweet potato fry. She didn’t offer to make it right or even apologize for getting the order wrong. Very disappointing

I am very disappointed and embarrassed with the To Go food order from HiHo Ponchatoula this evening. I have bragged to many family and friends about the Pork PoBoys at this location. In the past, the Pork PoBoys had an impressive quantity pork meat with the same great flavor that I fell in love with as a child in the 60’s. However, tonight the Pork PoBoys were a disappointment. One Pork PoBoy had less and half the meat than any previous sandwich. The second Pork PoBoys had very little meat on one half and only sauce on the second half. We walked into the location at 5:30pm and I initially thought that they ran out of pork meat. However, I see that their closing hour is 8:00pm. I doubt I will return to HiHo Ponchatoula.

Not sure why they call themselves bbq. Only bbq on the menu was a few sandwiches. Im not from here. Must be a local place. Kind of reminds me of a jack in the box type of place. Frozen fries. Frozen burger patties with no seasoning. Just bland. Nothing to differentiate themselves from the other 10 places all around them. Relatively nice kids at the counter. Usually an empty parking lot tells you all you need to know. Id rather have my $20 back but I did eat it.

This was a boring trip and not very appetizing. The highlight was the BBQ baked beans with pork shreds. The ribs were good, well ok. They seemed to be cooked in a pressure cooker then maybe warmed. The seasoning was not very good and came with one BBQ sauce on the side... bullseye. The onion rings were frozen and deep fried and kinda greasy. My sidekick had the pulled pork sandwich with cold slaw on it and was given a 7 out of 10. Bread pudding is the only option. The staff was nice. I will not be back.
