Opened in 1996, Hawgs is an unusual and original place located in St. Leonard, one of the only places offering breakfast around the clock, it's a spacious and comfortable place, ideal for a good time and a drink or simply to eat in a relaxed atmosphere. You can't help notice the original decor (American Style) that decorates the walls. This brings 2 different feels to the place, on one side very colorful and on the other, delightfully retro. There is also a bar for those looking for a drink with friends and a few corners segregating those seeking a little privacy. Also note that they have giant screens that give a modern edge and is perfect for any sporting event. On summer days, the imposing terrace allows you to enjoy the sun while having a nice plate of smoked meat, ribs, their famous poutine, a good steak, burger, or maybe their famous Monterey Jack chicken sandwiches. All this in an atmosphere that gives you the feeling of staying there all day or all night. Upstairs, they offer a mezzanine for 50 people, ideal for birthdays and any other party group. Whether it's for a nice meal with friends, family or business, Hawgs is the perfect place.

This is a great place for breakfast, lunch, or supper. Reserve for large group gatherings. It has great service, fantastic tasting food choices, & a great cozy fun feel like home atmosphere. I highly recommend it. I have been dining there for years. Breakfast is delicious.
Nice Deli/Bar atmosphere, with sports on the TV screens. Been here a few times, they have a wide range of foods on the menu. Everything I tried so far has been excellent (smoked meat, burger, reubens, ribs & onion soup). They have the usual beers available plus some microbrew ones. I've only been here at dinner time for now but I saw in the menu that they offer 24h breakfast, which is something I love. I'll try it next time, I'll post how it went. Cheers.
You want fall of the bones ribs & the best sauce… this is the place! The wings are also amazing! Consistent every time you go! Also they have the best best breakfast. You always leave there satisfied & sated! Also the Moscow mule is the bomb!
Our favorite spot for yummy, affordable, stick-to-your-ribs kind of breakfasts. Lovely (!) staff & quick service. & even years later, that hog on the motorcycle out front makes us laugh every single time.

Breakfast 24hrs all day long. All the meals are fantastic too. I never tasted bacon this good in my entire life. Huge portions, great everything including the great waitress. I just don't understand why there's no line-up outside. I give this place 6 stars.
Have eaten here plenty of times. It's a great alternative to the regular 24 hour joints. BBQ ribs, smoked meat, pizza, chicken wings... All really good. Poutine is also good. It's a bit pricey but the service is great & it's 24 hours. They have some 35$ platters that will satisfy most appetites, & if you're not full there's always their desserts. They also serve breakfast 24 hours as well.
I hadn't been in many years, & was pleasantly surprised that much remained unchanged. I really like the saloon type vibe 🙂. A cute place to visit for casual food & a great alternative to chain breakfast restos. Arianne, our server, was very pleasant & kind. She checked in on us regularly & our coffee cup was never empty. The food was very tasty, & the portion was generous - prices are great! Also, you can request to buy jars of pickles ($8 for 1L may be a little steep but worth the convenience - & they are so yummy!)
I've been going to Hawgs for several years now & they never disappoint. A very easy place to agree to visit in a group whether large or small. The main reason for my high rating is not only the 24-hour service but especially the menu variety - no matter what you are craving & when, they have it & they are open to receive you. Better yet, if you don't know what you want, you are certain to find something. The Hawgs burger is an easy go-to for dinner but their breakfast menu is incredible across the board. The prices are what you would normally expect in this economy, however surprisingly of better quality than most restaurants in a similar price range. Despite the hours or time of night, the staff has always been very friendly & welcoming. The environment is also a nice hybrid of diner & bar-like, both with booths or regular tables/chairs. Overall I would highly recommend a visit to Hawgs at least once in your lifetime, & it would likely become a place you would frequent on a regular basis.
