    Honestly, the concept of this place is so chill, and I love the overall atmosphere. It's a great spot to bring a group of friends, especially with the way the venue is set up and the different games that are available throughout. The actual BBQ is cafeteria-style. You go through the line and pick what you would like and add it to your tray, paying for the total at the end, where the condiments and utensils are located. The bar is in the center of the place. You come in and seat yourself, and honestly, the TVs are everywhere, so don't worry too much about not getting a good table. You'll be able to watch your game from anywhere. The actual food was great-the brisket was beautifully seasoned and very tender. We were honestly so addicted to it. The wings, especially the dry rubs, were honestly perfectly done-they had a nice char and smokiness, but the flavors were strong. All the sides paired perfectly with the different meats, and THAT CORNBREAD??? Man, I could eat a hundred of those. I think my favorite sides were the greens and the mac n cheese, super comforting. Also, the pitchers they had were honestly great and perfect for big crowds. I would 1000% recommend this kind of sports bar for bigger groups of friends. Honestly, it's a great place to spend the evening when you don't know what to do or what to eat.

    Been here a few times now. First of all , one of the best happy hours in town for both food and drinks! Second, TVs are every where. For big games like world cup, they even have the sound on, even for the outdoor benches area with the huge projector screen. Third, possibly the best bbq and corn bread in NY. I have worked in dallas and I must say the BBQ here is equally as good. Brisket and ribs are my top choice. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE CORN BREAD!

    The food and atmosphere is great, but they really need to figure out crowd control at this venue. I do assume that the cover they've been charging during big sports games probably helps, but the last time I was here it was only half full and the line to get food wrapped around the entire place and was almost out the door. There has to be a better way to organize this. All that aside, Pig Beach is where you want to come when you're craving BBQ on a nice day. The venue is mostly outdoors with a few indoor tables and two bars. Drinks here are well priced and the specials are even better - I paid $5 for a tequila spritz last time I was here. The meat here is really tender and the sides absolutely slap. Even if you're coming here with a vegetarian there are solid options - the mac and cheese and cole slaw are my favorites. Also I never thought I'd be okay with paying $7 for pickles but the half sours here absolutely slap. Last time I went here I had the ribs which were huge and tender, and the jalapeno cheddar sausage that I def didn't need but it was so, so good. If you're coming here to watch a popular game, get here early to snag a spot.

    Excellent bbq food. I enjoyed everything the burnt ends, brisket, the Mac, the corn bread. I honestly don't think anything you order will taste good. The drinks are great I would tell them easy on the ice. The ambiance is casual, cafeteria style. You go up to the counter order oay and find an available seat. The service was good the staff made good recommendations and the lines were fast to

    I was one of the lucky few who won the Chili Cook off at Pig Beach with Yelp. My first time so was shocked when Samantha messaged me to say I won. She came with her mother and I got a super sweet shot of them. I got there a little before noon. They were still getting set up so waited outside for a short time. They were kind enough to let me use the restroom first. Immediately I met Amanda and Bernice. We all started talking and learned they were Yelp Elites like me and since I was by myself I asked and joined them. They are so nice! We walked around the whole venue and being Yelpers I found our taste in food was similar. We all wound up liking the same vendors. So stuffed! Portions were generous! Since we were VIP we had the place to ourselves for the first hour before general public at 1pm. We tried the vendors who were ready and went back to try those we passed since they weren't ready. It was a pretty big space with indoors and outdoors. It was a nice sunny day so a bit hot already but we would cool off in the shade. I love love my time today hanging out with my Yelp family who are amazing folks! So blessed to be part of a group who care about businesses and trying new things as well as meeting folks.

    Great space for game watching and the food isn't bad. Lots of seating and clean bathrooms. Self service.

    I love this place. I could end my review with this statement alone. I have been here six times and have never had anything short of a great experience. The food is delicious. The baby back ribs are among the best I've ever had, and the collard greens make me want to cry tears of joy. They have a diverse range of beers on tap (that change seasonably) in addition to a full bar and interesting, tasty cocktails (boba spritz?). The outdoor area is huge and spacious, and it's also dog friendly. I like that even though it sometimes gets packed, there's still plenty of room to move around. They've also made it very handicap accessible, which I always find impressive (even though I'm not handicapped). Overall a great place to meet up, especially for larger groups.

    I rarely venture out to this area, but came here for a birthday celebration. The space is huge, but still packed on a Saturday night. It's great for large groups as ordering is cafeteria style and there's multiple bars throughout the space. I got the Meat & 2 for $28, which includes a meat and 2 sides. I got the 1/2 Rack of Ribs, which were tender. I was between that and the brisket and glad the server recommended the ribs for me. For the sides, the mac and cheese were delicious and purple coleslaw had lots of dressing yet still refreshing. Overall, the meal was delicious but a bit pricey for one. I also got myself a Surfside ($9) in a can, which I enjoyed. One thing I do have to note is how confusing ordering can be. It's cafeteria style, so you pick your sides, non-meat items, and then the meat. But if you're just picking whatever you want, it can really add up so you need to make sure you choose the right items for your combo.

    My boyfriend and his family raved about this place to me, so of course I had to come here with them to experience it myself! It was definitely an experience walking in as it felt super chill and casual, and you order at the counter as though you were a high school kid in the cafeteria during lunch time, which I thought was kind of fun! The menus are above and definitely legible and easy to follow along, and the staff were friendly and helpful as we figured out what we wanted. There was also an array of sauces to choose from, where there are plates and small containers to fill up on their special BBQ sauces (their labels will tell you which ones are spicier!). I had ordered a can of Cherry Coke and a Combo 2, which includes 2 meats and 2 small sides. For the meats, I chose 1/3 lb Burnt Ends and 1/4 lb Brisket. Both were extremely tender and delicious, and full of flavour! For my sides, I went with Mac and Cheese and the Collard Greens. The Mac and Cheese feels so classic and amazing, and the Collard Greens were very flavourful. We couldn't finish everything so we took some lids and boxes to bring the rest home, and I can't wait to come back here some other time and try more things!

    Pig Beach is a VIBE for sports watching. We went to watch the Mexico-Ecuador game, and it was already at standing room only capacity at 7pm for a 9pm start. My friends and I were raving about the food; I especially loved the wings and the mac n cheese. It's pretty fairly priced as well. Our drinks were also good; we had margaritas all night. I definitely recommend showing up early for any games, but there is plenty of space to sit or stand since the restaurant is huge. Staff were all super friendly and helpful.

    Better late than never... forgot to take food pics (that's how good it was!). Went to a Knicks Watch Party at Pig Beach BBQ in Astoria and the vibe was a fun and energetic one The brisket... I can't even begin to explain how delicious it was, and it basically melted in your mouth. I chose the cornbread and Cole slaw sides... also solid choices. Loved the outdoor space and the staff was very accommodating for our party. Overall it was a fun night.

    Sergio L.

    Their food is fine but aside from their occasional wing deals is overpriced. If it wasn't bad enough price gouging with the food prices, then the recent $40 cover charges for world cup games. And if they could charge more they absolutely would - a photo from their Instagram showing the ridiculous prices they originally wanted to charge for some games. This place used to be a once-in-a-while treat just due to how close it is to the theater. I don't see myself coming here anymore.

    Trivia night!
    Joseline B.

    We went to Pig beach BBQ for trivia night and it was pretty awesome, the places were not packed at all which I believe is the opposite from Summer time! There is a separate line where you order food and later pay for it and there is also plenty of room to join! The trivia night was hosted by nexus and it was definitely so much fun. The host was really entertaining and I love that Pig Beach does that! Ambiance and food were delicious, the brisket ought to be hotter, I would suggest to add some warm honey to the cornbread. Finally, whatever you do, do not forget to order the Purple coleslaw! It was perfection

The alternative is to salt the patties during cooking to retain the structure and feel of a beef patty. The overall meal was a disappointment. I'll have to try it again the future. Maybe theres a different cook in the back. For the value of $18, it's not bad, but not great on the tastebuds.
