First time going to the Salty Boar, I looked at a menu online, went for the Chopped Brisket Sandwich, which was no longer available. I decided on the ½ Pound Fried Chicken Basket (southern) comes with Duke’s mayo, lettuce and dill pickle chow. The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The dill pickle chow was delicious. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. My husband had the smoked chicken wings with the dry rub of course I had to try one of them. We both agree, these were one of the best wings we have tasted. The smokey flavor, crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside.
Our waitress was amazing, she happily answered all of our questions, she did it with a smile. Very friendly, welcoming personality. Definitely look forward to many more visits in the future.
I included in the pictures the current menu.

Both the chopped brisket and the pulled pork sandwiches were excellent. Fast and attentive service and very good prices on the full menu. Can’t wait to go back

Good place to eat. Somewhat limited menu. It’s usually a pulled pork basket and pretzel bites for me.
Cold drinks!

This place was recommended to us for their food being great. Me and my husband were in the area and stopped in. The food was freaking awesome!! Great service, friendly staff, cold beers. We didn’t have to wait long for our food which we had fried fish (huge catfish filets) and probably the best baked beans I have ever had. Look forward to stopping in next time we’re in the area and trying some other items on their menu. Definitely recommend this place!!

Absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to go back!
Update: went again and blown away. The waitress was amazing and explained everything we asked her. The food, as always, was so delicious. Great atmosphere, great prices, and amazing food. Food is given quickly (definitely recommend the onion blossom, and the spoon bread). My husband, son, and I have never had anything less than amazing from the Salty Boar.

The fried gouda macaroni and cheese balls are great as well as another appetizer but the actual dinner wasn’t impressive at all (smoked bologna on brioche with bacon jam). Sounded great, but simply wasn’t. Only one waitress who was also bartender and she was so busy I felt bad for her trying to keep up with everyone. Needed refills on our drinks badly but hated to ask because she was just overwhelmed with things to do. Maybe if there had been more staff, the service would have warranted more stars but she did her best for sure. The atmosphere wasn’t bad as far as size and the amount of space for dining but it was very cold. I wish I could give this place a better review. If I ever go back, I’ll just stick with the appetizers I know I love and wear a jacket if it’s cold weather. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures.

Want quiet lunch in a comfortable place with EXCELLENT bar food? A simple menu that doesn’t overwhelm you but packs in unique flavors and homey classic BBQ foods that’s The Salty Boar. Our Friday afternoon visit around lunch wasn’t busy yet. Fantastic quick service too. The only appetizer we had was the cheddar cheese cubes with made fresh buttermilk dip that cools your mouth
after the spicy goodness of the creamy cheese with the excellent crispy spicy coating. The fried fish is crispy and fluffy not oily or soggy and spiced perfectly, fries are crispy and fluffy perfection. Another of us had the fried green tomato and pimento cheese sandwich the was on crispy not too thick Texas toast with the house voodoo sauce and beautifully tangy not sweet and the crunchiest onion rings I’ve found around. The last diner of our group had an absolutely juicy with crispy edges pulled pork plate with two side. One was a crispy bacon pasta salad with that incredible ranch dressing again and hamburger beans . Not your typical baked bean. Wonderful. We did take in and extra side to try the coleslaw and it rounds it out to a large portioned, delish lunch that we all took half home from those big portions. Moderately priced and worth the ride to Duquoin to pop in for lunch. On weekends they do a pork steak that definitelyakes the drive well worth it! Impeccable service and fantastic food on thewnu will definitely bring us back. I have to go try everything!

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!! Our family ordered literally everything on the menu to try it and we were blown away at both the flavor and and quality. The ribs stole the show. Hands down the best we have ever had. The chicken, pulled pork, and brisket we full of flavor as well. And the sides were uniquely made and delicious. We will visit again for sure.

The BLT salad was great. The fish was cooked well and portion was large enough to bring home for a sandwich the next day. Hush puppies good and fresh.
