Hogfish Seafood & Smokehouse in Loveland, CO, is a delightful culinary gem that marries barbecued excellence with fresh seafood. The establishment is known for its award-winning hickory-smoked ribs, which diners rave about for their moistness and rich flavor. The rib platters, like the Ribs and Brisket Combo, shine with perfectly cooked St. Louis-style ribs, offering a memorable experience for barbecue fans. The seafood shines brightly, too. Guests have praised the flaky fish and chips, especially the striking crust that melts in your mouth. The fried shrimp and jalapeño hush puppies are equally commendable, showcasing a commitment to quality ingredients and classic recipes. Dasha and Monica, just two of the attentive staff, contribute to a warm and welcoming atmosphere, enhancing the overall dining experience. While some patrons noted that service could improve, the overwhelmingly positive feedback—like Angelo Wells’ praise for the perfectly seasoned BBQ and the refreshing freshness of the pico de gallo—demonstrates that the flavors here are where Hogfish truly excels.

This place is not a fancy place. This place reminds me of a place on the Florida beach where I grew up. Our server Dasha was kind and attentive. The walleye, cod and Mahi Mahi tasted great. The fried shrimp where huge and the jalapenos hush puppies were awesome. Can't wait to go back with a designated driver to have a few of thier rum runners.

Hands down the best fish and chips I have ever eaten! We googled some place to have lunch, we just enjoy visiting places we have never been as long as they have good reviews and this place did. Monica seated us and we were served out drinks quickly. Having never been there we asked what she recommended. The first thing she bragged about was the fish and chips and to my husband's surprise that that's what I ordered. So he got the fish and shrimp combo. The fish was very flaky and the crust, I can't say enough about the crust on that fish, it was a crunchy, melt in your mouth deliciousness. The second thing she recommended was their fries and they didn't let us down either. The fries had a little batter on the just very light and they were super crispy. Monica was very nice, and we even got to meet the chef/owner, Brent, who was afraid to share his breading tricks with us. It's a 45 minute drive from where we are now but we will go back, and soon. There are a lot of interesting dishes on the menu that we can't wait to try. Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch in a great atmosphere!

Food ordered: Appetizer: chips and queso with brisket Main courses: Pork sandwich Brisket sandwich Ribs Sausage links Drinks: Coke and mixed drink. Review: This place is legit for BBQ and then some. Brent (owner) has over the past 7 years, dialed in some amazing dishes. The brisket is moist and the ribs are to die for. The pork was also amazing and the sausage links have perfect snap and thay flavor..... BBQ sauce is not too sweet but at the same time does not have that vinegar back end that some places have. I have not tried them but I hear from reviews and from other patrons at the place that their chicken wings are just excellent and I look forward to trying them on our next visit. According to the owner they have a wings special every Wednesday so give this place a try... the fish and seafood options are excellent as well as we have tried them in a previous visit but the star here is the BBQ. Fries are great and the broccoli is buttery and crisp. Oh... and the pico is freshly made and you can tell this guy cares about quality execution. Service could be better and that is the only negative thing I have to say but I also realize how difficult it is to get good heads up staff these days. Go try this place out.. be patient and you will not be disappointed.

The Cajun fried catfish is heaven in your mouth! The spicy bbq sauce is also a feat of sweet and spicy. This is the second time we’ve visited, we’re from Texas, but made it a point to go back a second time! Staff is friendly and attentive!

So far this was some of the better food I've had in Loveland. Wings were a really nice texture although I had hoped the hot wings would be a little... More hot. Was very impressed with the bartender and wait staff, they had a sense of urgency and an heir of proficiency. I will say that the BBQ ribs and brisket were both a little dry but not exactly lacking I'm flavor. The place is cool inside, the food was good and the service was better. It's worth stopping in if you haven't. Will update after trying a couple more menu items
