    Wings , potato salad, cole slaw and pathetic Mac and cheese
    Kern C.

    I have to lower this rating after eating at more and more BBQ spots in different states etc . This place is mid at best and very Inconsistent! Chewy Brisket ,the wings are hit or miss and the Mac and cheese is very basic . Only the fries are consistent which is not saying much Smdh. This is basic BBQ in nyc and if this restaurant were in any southern state it would be empty ! 3 stars and I'm probably being generous .

    The place was crazy busy. You needed to scream to be heard. You could barely walk. It's open to the outdoors so it was freezing. There are stickers all over which is cool. Bathrooms were disgusting. No toilet paper, stalls were dirty, as was the floor. The line for food was wrapped out the whole place. We had to wait over an hour before we could eat. Drinks were easier to get. Saying all that the staff were nice (minus the guy at the door) and the food was good. I really enjoyed the cornbread though it wasn't hot despite them taking it out of a hotbox. The Mac n cheese was good. They ran out of the s'mores dessert. The fries were tasty. The people I was with liked the meat. Prices were pretty good. Everything looked good. They have to go containers out which I appreciated. They have claw machines and a Photobooth. Lots of tvs.

    Trivia night!

    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

    Sampler with Mac and cheese, potato salad and corn bread
    Justin O'Keith H.

    Just wrapped a photo shoot next door and this Texas boy had to try the nyc bbq. The staff was friendly and helpful. One guy in the service line was wearing a Terry Blacks BBQ hat which is in Dallas. Been there a couple times and great food. I decided to get the sampler with corn bread and a key lime pie. The cornbread was moist and like cake. Def couldn't finish it all. Good but prefer my cornbread a bit grittier. The Mac and cheese and potato salad were decent. The turkey was great. Brisket was solid. The ribs were meh. Overall not bad.

    Spontaneously I decided to check out this eatery that has a reputation for great BBQ. I mean when you look up or ask about BBQ this establishment comes up a lot. On the approach it appeared unassuming. It wasn't trying to work you from the outside. Right as I enter the place expands right before my eyes with a warm industrial feel. I must have been walking for quite some time because mental exhaustion accumulated it seems. I was like one of those silly people you smile at so they don't think you're secretly judging them. The staff was nice and helpful however which was a good start. They directed me how to order and even didn't laugh at my dumb questions. The bartender was super helpful as he was the first one I stumbled upon. Down to the meat of the experience (pun intended). The brisket sandwich was perfect. The brisket itself the star of the show. Sweet, savory, meaty, fatty and somehow also crispy. The beans with pork were great too. Might be the best brisket I've had in a long time or ever. Washed it down with a 7 dollar IPA on tap. Oh did I mention it's 5 dollars between 3-6 pm? Well I kinda wish I had a late lunch but based on everything so far I will be coming back for that. Lovely lunch and back to the bartender as he was very nice and accommodating as I sat there like I never had BBQ before. Good conversation about how we've both been in the service industry for what seems like entirely too long. Great place. I would recommend highly to anyone who likes BBQ and well priced beers. Oh and they have some pinball and arcade hops if that means anything to you lol.

    sampler platter
    Brian S.

    surprised how many people were here after work on a weekday despite the location. place is massive and has been around for a while. got the sampler platter which was decent. i enjoyed the ribs and surprisingly smoked turkey more than brisket and pulled pork.

    Large space good for groups. I don't think they take reservations so may need to get there early if you need more than one table. The large backyard is popular in warmer temps and they sometimes have sports games on a large screen back there. You order food cafeteria style, with beverages and desserts available to order at the register. For alcoholic beverages, go to the bar. I really liked most of the food I've tried here. My go-to are the hot honey dry rubbed wings. Some days/times there are really good wings specials but this visit (large group for a birthday) they were regular price. Liquor and cocktails here are thend to be a little overpriced for what you get, but I'm unable to drink beer. I shared a photo of the new seasonal hot cocktails menu, but I didn't try them yet.

    Rating: 7.5/10 Date Last Visited: 8/30/2025 I ordered the Brisket Cheesesteak ($16). The brisket cheesesteak was amazing - combining the brisket with cheese and caramelized onions is a unique taste on the classic cheesesteak. Combined with the bread, this was a great sandwich to eat. However, the BBQ itself was alright. My friend ordered the brisket and pork ribs, but neither one of those compared to BBQ joints in Texas. The mac-n-cheese was also pretty mid. I would recommend getting one of their sandwiches or other entrees here, not the actual BBQ. Outside of food, this place is amazing for watching sport games. They have a huge outdoor dining area with a large screen for watching games. There's no better vibe than eating good food, drinking beer, and sitting outside in good weather watching football or basketball. Overall, I would recommend this place if you want to go somewhere to watch sports while also enjoying good food.

    Gowanus Cold Beer from the draft --very tasty
    Gail B.

    The BBQ ribs were tasty and tender. They needed no extra sauce, and Pig Beach BBQ makes five free sauces that customers can add on. I tasted all five, and I like the Tangy Vinegar and the Classic BBQ sauce the best. The Gowanus Cold Beer that I ordered from the bar perfectly counteracted the richness of the ribs. At my request, a server gave me a sample of the Mac and Cheese. It tasted like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. I did not like it. I also asked for a sample of the Beef Brisket (salt and pepper crust). It was much too salty and peppery for me. My order of cornbread tasted like it was made from a box. The key lime pie was a tad too sweet. Pig Beach does not accept Discover Cards or Apple/Google Pay, so bring your debit cards, Master Card/Visa or cash. I might come back and try some other things from the menu because the service was wonderful, and the ambiance is perfect for date night.

    Line up and order your grub.
    Tamiko B.

    Walk up the ramp and enter this massive space. Paper menus are available and instructions are clear to line up to place your order. The cuisine is served cafeteria style to generate salvation and encourage you order some of everything. We had the sampler for two with the large side of purple slaw Of course; we had to add a piece of cornbread which was mouthwatering. Another friend ordered two orders of wings and my preference was the dry rub. We were joined by two more and the cuisine was shared by five. Hats off to the bartender.

    Chill, casual vibes Street parking/ R-M train 1.5 Astoria blocks away Does not take tap-to-pay (Apple Pay) or Discover cards so bring your credit cards or cash Great food First come first serve seating but very large space There's a Jumbotron playing that day's game Pig Beach took over the old Studio Square space; layout the same

    Moved from queens a decade ago and that's the last time we had come to this great spot! Definitely hoping to make it a more usual destination for a nice drink and some delicious bbq!

    Francine Y.

    Love how you get your own food and sit anywhere you like. Everything we got was tasty and moist. Brisket and pulled pork is a fan favorite. They have plenty of sauce to choose from and it's self serve. Great for large parties and celebrations. The workers are all friendly and they have water you can serve yourself with. Full bar with seating as well as outdoor open yard.

    Ask the Community - Pig Beach BBQ

    Is it okay to bring and play card games/board games there to play while we eat?

    Totally. They have a board game collection so I'm sure they would be fine with you bringing your own.

    What's the T.V. situation like? Would it be a good spot for watching football on Sunday's? Are there multiple T.V.'s playing a number of games? Thanks

    Lots of TVs playing all kinds of games. You could ask them to put on a specific game if it's not already playing and you know what station it's on.

    Street Parking is available but might be tough to find.

    Is this a pet friendly establishment?

    Is your inside area air conditioned?

I can't emphasize how excited I am for them to be here, bringing one of our best neighborhood bites to a new neighborhood which desperately needs more affordable and diversified options. This modern Vietnamese sandwich spot offers banh mi inspired by other East and Southeast Asian flavors. I personally like reaching for their regular banh mi and their lemongrass chicken banh mi. You would be remiss if you didn't get the banh mi or kimchi fries, and their monster rolls which are a newer creation but are essentially giant lumpia with any and all of the sauces they have available. Another plus is that they have pretty creative drinks, like their refreshers and virgin mojitos, for a nice little drink that isn't too calorie-dense depending on what you get. Welcome to the neighborhood Joju and I wish you all the success.

It's clearly more geared toward take out, and I fully intend to come back in the spring so I can take my sandwich to the park. I ordered the classic banh mi, with pork, headcheese, pork pate, mayo, carrot daikon slaw, cucumber, and cilantro. It was ready very quickly. The bun was perfectly toasted and fresh, crispy on the outside with a soft and light inside. For about $11 they packed a good amount of meat and veggies into the sandwich. The pork and headcheese were sliced nice and thin; and the fresh cilantro, crisp cucumber and tangy carrot/daikon complemented the meat nicely. My only complaint was that there was way too much mayo. I normally love mayo on a sandwich but even for me they put a lot. You can even see how much there is in the photo; I showed it to someone else and they thought it was cheese. Next time I think I'd tell them to go light on the mayo, or maybe get none at all.

Hanoi pho -- rich and beefy broth with flat white noodles; i personally rlly liked this dish and thought the noodles were perfect and soup had good flavor, but my mom and aunts did find it a bit salty for their liking. Lump crab noodles -- on the lighter side which i rlly enjoyed; it tasted like a light garlic noodle with some hints of parmesan. They do use real crab, but you can taste that it's made with frozen crab. I did find myself drinking a lot of water after a few bites and felt it was a lil saltier than my preference. Saigon shaking beef -- get this! Beef is so tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce and pairing with the arugula and veggies were so delicious. This was also my mom and aunts fav! The sauce was so good we used it on the crab noodles. Bun cha hanoi -- the grilled pork patties that come in a separate small bowl were the highlight of this dish. The main dish did lack fresh ingredients imo; half the veggies were wilted and the lettuce had some bitterness to it indicating it was prob not the freshest. The vermicelli was quite hard and imo not cooked enough. The grilled pork slices were good, but i think most viet places ive gone tasted similar. Id def come again tho! I think the prices are quite reasonable for the quality and the staff were honestly some of the friendliest ive seen! They were so attentive despite being so busy. I didnt have a reservation prior, but the staff were so nice and accommodating and got us seated quickly. I sat near the door and overheard some of their interactions with other guests, and def think service alone was amazing! There's a small tiki bar with some specialty cocktails that i def want to try next time, but despite it being quite a small restaurant there's quite a few tables. Def a cute spot that id come back again! :)
