"There are many things we've never done, but we ain't never had too much fun", so the Hog's Breath slogan goes. It's an expression of a philosophy that has made Hog's Breath a tear away success story.

Indeed, whenever Australian homegrown franchise systems are spoken about, Hog's Breath invariably gets a mention. Why? Because for a franchise system to expand from a single outlet to 68 in just 17 years, it must be getting most things right.

All Hog's Breath Cafes are in essence themed licensed restaurants catering to all ages. They incorporate three interacting components - a seated food service area, a licensed saloon bar and a merchandise shop exclusively carrying the Hogster clothing label.

Place is great, good atmosphere, menu is good and kid friendly. We had a good experience, only negative was service was slow, we mentioned we were catching a late movie,but we were assured there would be no problem. However we only just made it and had to quickly eat our meals which was disappointing. Food was good though.   (Nicci - See my reviews (2) - February, 2008)

Overall 8 - Food 8, Ambience 7, Value 7, Service 10

Our waitress was very lovely & couldnt have been more helpful always checking if we were ok or needed a drink etc... We were a little dissapointed with seating as we were put right in the sun & our only other option was up the back which was already very crowded, considering there were alot of empty seats. All in all we will be back.   (December, 2007)
