Hi-ho Barbecue

Awesome food.

Prefix to phone number is 985, not 504.

Just ate at the HI HO in Metairie. The place smelled like there were sewer issues and in no way even close in taste as the resturants in Hammond. And for a brand new store, that is disappointing. My son was probably the most disappointed, saying he never wants to eat there again. Very expensive as compared to Hammond also.

My family and I visited the Hi Ho Restaurant in Metairie, Louisiana October 18th of this year. My wife introduced me to Hi Ho Sandwiches in Hammond in the 60's and my family has loved them ever since. I think people that are trying them for the first time expect that heavy BBQ Sauce. Hi Ho has its own lite sauce, which is more like a gravy, but has a different taste you will find nowhere else. Try them with and opened mind, looking for a new flavor, and I think you will enjoy them.

I ate at their new location in Metairie. Do not waste your time. Order wrong. Took to long. Sauce is horrible. The table catsup had more flavor.

It's not barbecue. More like sliced pork with gravy. It was awful given the expectation of real barbecue. Would never, ever go there again.

Hi-Ho. That's all that needs to be said. As a yankee-gone-rebel, the 1960 Hi-Ho barbecue is as unique today as it was to this "Yankee gone rebel from Jersey".
Can't find it anywhere but in Hammond. Enjoy, I'll be back soon.

I am not sure why this place calls itself a Barbeque restaurant; there is not other meat other than beef or pork sandwich available on the menu. The thinly sliced meat that was inside the sandwich looked liked it was sliced from a regular piece of Deli meat, not a barbequed slab of meat. There were not any chicken, sausage, coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad on the menu. These are standard items which are basically offered in most other BBQ restaurants. The BBQ sauce was weak and watery and did not have the usual BBQ flavor that you expect from such food. Overall if you want to eat there bring your favorite BBQ sauce, perhaps you can add your own flavor to the sandwich you buy there.
The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly. The prices were reasonable now, although there was a sign showing higher menu prices starting 7/14/2008.

HiHo has been a tradition in my family since before I was born, and it still is. HiHo is an awesome diner-like place with the best BBQ sandwiches on the planet and the best pricing. Your food is made fast, and the service is awesome. If you haven't had a HiHo BBQ, you haven't lived yet.
