Where are they located now? I know the Eugene location closed a long time ago, but the Gateway location also is closed now. So what is the other Springfield location???

Totally true how walking into Howling Coyote makes you clothes reek for hours!

I also love their fries.

Greens? Yuk! I ate them at Popa’s Soul Food Kitchen and will never make that mistake again. I have no idea why any humans like the taste of greens.

By the way, Popa’s Soul Food Kitchen brisket is the fattiest and most disgusting piece of undercooked meat I have ever eaten…or rather I should say I ate 20% of it and then could go no further. It’s doused in a terrible sauce also. Really really bad despite the good reviews that place gets on yelp.

The Eugene store closed, but there are 2 locations in Springfield (the other side of I-5).

Everyone has their own definition of proper Q, but I think this is very good, the best I’ve had in Oregon so far. (Still exploring Portland.)

WARNING!! You and your clothes will reek of BBQ when you leave, even if you are there only long enough to pick up an order to go. Plan to shower and change clothes before doing anything else. Consider using the drive-thru if this is a problem.

Sides are secondary considerations for me, edible potato salad is rare so I don’t bother. I usually go with slaw and beans, both are acceptable at HC, although I think the amount of meat in the beans is overkill (it needs only to add flavor). I wish HC and other Q joints would serve greens: traditional, easy, cheap, healthy and so damn good. The cornbread muffins are sweet with a few whole kernels baked in. Most people like them, but they are too sweet for my taste and the kernels are rubbery.

Hefewiesen is on tap – a good complement.

If you’re into BBQ, you should definitely give it a try.

I visited the old Howling Coyote location today to try out Taco Time (the new tenant). It still smells very strongly of Howling Coyote inside that place. Unfortunately, that did not improve the quality of the food served by Taco Time…See quick review here: http://eugenified.com/reviews/taco-time/

I have not had better bbq ribs anywhere, but that’s not saying much. At least in Eugene, Howling Coyote is the best in my book. I am going to give Hole in The Wall another chance soon. We’ll see if the rankings change then.

I have eaten at the one that was in Eugene and it was WAY to smoky inside. (Maybe a bad day with the exhaust system). The ribs were mediocre at best, potato salad wasn’t too bad, pretty good beans, but the sausage was the best of what we got. I lived in the mid-west for a while where I tasted the best ribs I’ve ever had. (If I could figure out what that guy did I would never eat ribs out again!) For people that haven’t had what I would consider “top notch” bbq, Howlin Coyote will probably be wonderful! Granted I only ate there once; but it was enough to make me not want to go back.

I have eaten there many times with no problems at all with food poisoning. Perhaps you should wash your hands better next time.

Are you kidding me ? The few times i have eaten there (which i never will again) i got sick with food poisoning..I think you need a new person in charge of reviewing restuarants…one with taste!
