The heavyweight champion of Texas barbecue has officially reclaimed its throne. Soulman’s Bar-B-Que has announced the highly anticipated return of the Boss Hog, a legendary sandwich that has developed a massive following across North and East Texas. Starting now and running through May 20, 2026, fans can head to any of the 21 locations to experience this larger-than-life creation while supplies last.
The Bold Meats of Soulman’s Bar-B-Que
Living up to its robust reputation, the Boss Hog is a masterclass in “low and slow” hickory-smoked tradition. This isn’t just a sandwich; it is a towering stack of four premium meats piled high on a sweet, soft King’s Hawaiian bun. The flavor profile at Soulman’s Bar-B-Que is a calculated balance of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet notes, featuring:
-
Signature Sausage: Full of traditional Texas flavor.
-
Tender Pulled Pork: Smoked to perfection for maximum tenderness.
-
Hickory-Smoked Ham: Adding a classic savory layer.
-
Crispy Bacon: For that essential crunch and saltiness.
A Philosophy of Generosity
Since its founding in 1974, the brand has remained committed to simple goals: great food and sincere service. The Boss Hog, which first debuted as a limited-time special in 2016, serves as the ultimate proof of the company’s “no-stingy” meat policy.
“The Boss Hog has developed a loyal following among our guests,” said Brett Randle, CEO of Soulman’s Bar-B-Que. “At Soulman’s we believe barbecue should be generous, bold and unforgettable. We are not stingy with our meat, and the Boss Hog is the ultimate proof of that philosophy.”
Randle noted that the excitement is palpable every time the sandwich hits the menu. “It is fun, it is indulgent, and it represents everything people love about Texas barbecue,” he added. “It is a true heavyweight champion of our menu.”
Experience the Best of Soulman’s Bar-B-Que
Guests can grab the Boss Hog for $9.99 as a standalone sandwich or upgrade to a $14.99 combo meal, at all Soulman’s Bar-B-Que locations. The combo includes a 32-ounce drink and one of the famous homemade sides that have helped the brand earn recognition as one of the “Best Roadside Restaurants in America.” Whether you choose the Texas-style cream corn or the ranch house beans, the pairing completes the authentic experience.
