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! read more

Pig Beach BBQ - A can of Cherry Coke and a Combo 2: 2 meats (1/3 lb Burnt Ends and 1/4 lb brisket) with 2 small sides (Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens) - Barbeque Near Me - Astoria, New York

Meat & 2 Combo: Beef brisket 10/10 Mac n cheese: 5/10. It lacked flavor. Just plain cheese and noodles taste. Buffalo wings: 7/10 Perfect size, not too big. They lacked the buffalo taste though, they were more on the sweet side. Not very crispy, from sitting in the box, it produced steam. But they weren't too bad. Collard greens: 10/10 the best collard greens I've tasted from any restaurant, hands down. The service was good. 8/10 The ambience was decent. 7/10 Alot of construction workers come here, they can be loud and a bit over bearing but thankfully the restaurant was spacious so we changed our seats to the back of the restaurant. read more

Pig Beach BBQ - Meat & 2 - Barbeque Near Me - Astoria, New York

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. read more

Pig Beach BBQ - Meat & 2: 1/2 Rack of Ribs with Purple Coleslaw and Macaroni & Cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Astoria, New York

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 . read more

Pig Beach BBQ - Wings , potato salad, cole slaw and pathetic Mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Astoria, New York

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. read more

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 read more

This place is a great place for last minute group dinner in this section of Queens with a group of friends. Communial seating, everyone orders their own food. Make as much noise as you like and plenty of TV screens to watch. Outside garden seats available when warm. The food is good and reasonably priced. Parking at night is plenty. Just don't go crazy on the beer! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Pig Beach BBQ - sampler platter - Barbeque Near Me - Astoria, New York

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. read more

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. read more

Came back for the second time with dear husband. We sampled everything on the menu. Our stomachs were thoroughly satisfied, so much so that we ordered more food to take home with us. When ever you're ready to order and pick up their delicious southern trays of food just get on line! It's a social gathering, comfort dining sports bar all in one! The esthetics was pleasing to the eye. It was packed but we managed to find somewhere to sit. I could guarantee you will be happy to be there. read more

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. read more

What a great place right here in Queens. I had no idea this place even existed, but after a Google search for barbecue in Astoria, my son and I stumbled upon Pig Beach. You walk in and it's like you're walking into a great southern outdoor venue. With picnic tables and music. It's just a really lively atmosphere. You walk up to the counter to order your food and then take a tray to your table. They had a nice selection of sides as well as. ALL THE MEATS! I had the brisket while my son had the pulled pork, both were delicious. For size I got the collard greens, which were super yummy. It's one of my favorites that you really can't get everywhere. I also tried the potato salad, which was good. Cornbread was a 10 out of 10. I highly recommend Pig Beach BBQ and will definitely be going back there again. read more

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. read more

Loved it. There's something for everyone here, as I enjoyed the pulled pork and brisket while the person I was with enjoyed the turkey and ribs.

Pig Beach BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Astoria, New York

Pig Beach BBQ is one of the Best BBQ places in Queens! First of all this place is massive! Plenty of tables for everyone! Lots of different bars and seating areas; both indoor and outdoor. TV screens allllover the place! I haven't been here in the summer time but I imagine this place gets packed! I've been to Pig Beach BBQ about 3 times. Each time, it was on a weekday evening, and it wasn't overly crowded. Plenty of seating available. They have a huge menu; something for everyone! My usual order is their "Meat & Two Combo" which is meat of your choice plus two sides for $28.(See my photos for menu options). I always go for the half rack or ribs but one day, I'll try their many other meats. Don't snooze on their corn bread! The only side item I'm not crazy about is their mac n cheese, which I find overcooked and too mushy. Customer service is always friendly and efficient. The lines move fairly quickly so don't get discouraged. Before you know it you'll be chowing down on some terrific BBQ! Looking forward to return visits to try their brisket...and of course, more ribs!! read more

Pig Beach is a giant beer and BBQ restaurant. The indoor space is huge but even then, when we went on a Saturday evening, it was packed. There was a range of picnic benches and tables. Our party of 5 got lucky and we managed to snag a picnic table after maybe 10 minutes of waiting. Lots of people were having birthday parties or the like. This came with a lot of young children in the establishment which by itself is fine. I just wish their parents/guardians could've stopped them from running around the place, literally running into people... At the bar, you can order beer and cocktails. For the food, you order the food at the counter, after which you pay for it and eat it elsewhere. There was a range of sauces at the end of the checkout line. There was water available for free. Overall, the food was good, albeit a bit pricey. If you're a BBQ aficionado, don't expect top notch BBQ. This is the northeast after all. We thought the meat could've been a bit more tender. We also got an order of wings which were really good. For sides, we got the coleslaw and mac and cheese. Both were great. I like that they had to go containers readily available without having to ask the staff. I would recommend Pig Beach for the vibes and to grab a drink read more

I came here on a Thursday afternoon with my mom. We were celebrating her job's last day of the school year with friends. This place is great for a big hangout and events. It was pretty packed, but the line moved up quickly and the service was efficient. We ate outdoors and the vibes were great!! Definitely one of my top BBQ restaurants that I've visited. We started off by getting a Big Peach cocktail for ourselves. The peach flavor was strong and the drink was very good. For the food, we got the pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese, potato salad, buffalo chicken wings, and cornbread. Here is my take on them: - Pulled pork sandwich: Delicious!! The meat was juicy and tender and the sandwich was generously stuffed. It had some slightly sweet notes of coleslaw and they definitely know how to make it. I got very full after eating this! - Potato salad: Nice and creamy. I liked the sprinkling of paprika on top. Tastes very similar to my mom's potato salad and that's a huge compliment! - Buffalo chicken wings: spot on with the buffalo flavor. Also very tender and a little spicy! - Mac and cheese: Fine. Good flavor but cheese sauce is a little liquidy compared to most. - Cornbread: Very moist and sweet with a good crumb. Didn't really need the butter. For the cooking lovers out there... Pig Beach sells their own cookbook! We even got to meet someone there who created some of the recipes in it. I ended up ordering it and I can't wait to try out the recipes in their book! read more

I was a little disappointed when the Gowanus location closed because Brooklyn's Pig Beach was a whole vibe. So when I learned that they had a spot in Queens, I was pleasantly surprised. I immediately thought of middle school lunch lines when I walked in, grabbed a tray, and slid it down the rail but with much better food, of course. I wish we had brisket then. I indulged in brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, deviled eggs, a quarter rack of ribs, and the infamous mac and cheese; a must-have. Everything was flavorful, tender, and prepared to perfection. To be honest it was better than what I recall from the Brooklyn location (may he rest in peace). The portions were enormous but I wasn't complaining. In fact, I 'pigged out.' (See what I did there?) I was content and full when I left and I had enough left over for a bomb lunch the next day. We sat on the patio since the weather was nice. It's the fantastic atmosphere, delicious food, and an all-around wonderful time, for me. I'll have to play cornhole the next time. Yes, there will be a next time. I'll gladly schlep to Queens from Brooklyn for the brisket, alone. read more

This place is a great space for adults to hang casually on an evening or happy hour time. It's so spacious and perfect for large gatherings. It's self service so you seat yourselves. There's no reservations. There's plenty of space so even if your party is large, I'm sure you'll find a space for your party. Everything here is relatively affordable for quality food, and everything is priced well for great value. The meats are not dry. They have flavor. I loved trying the different sauces available. Lots of options at the bar as well. What hooked me was the special sugar cane sodas available for unlimited refills. It tasted so natural and made me not feel guilty for drinking soda. It was quite refreshing. I'd honestly go back just for the unlimited soda. The hot honey wings were spicier than I expected but delicious. Has a sweet and heat spice to it. I loved the smoked taste as well. It wasn't too Smokey. Well balanced. The white sauce that came with it was very complementary. Def recommend this combo. I'd definitely come back again with a group of friends for a good time. read more

Pig Beach BBQ - Hot Honey Dry Rub Wings - Barbeque Near Me - Astoria, New York

I've been going to Pig Beach since they had their other location in Park Slope on Union Street. That place closed down & this one opened up. No matter, though, because even though it's in a different location, it's still good BBQ. They even have their homemade BBQ sauce, 4 different kinds. I have always preferred the classic one because it's nice and simple. My go-to protein order is always the "sample platter", choice of large side is the beans, & sometimes if I'm feeling cheesy, I'd get the mac & cheese. Sampler platter includes brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and turkey. Brisket: Tender, smoky, and richly flavored, this BBQ brisket hits all the right notes. The bark is perfectly seasoned with a deep, peppery crust, while the inside stays moist with just enough fat. Slow-cooked to perfection, each bite melts in your mouth. A true comfort food classic for meat lovers. Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender with a sweet and smoky glaze, these BBQ ribs deliver bold flavor in every bite. The caramelized crust adds a satisfying crunch, while the meat stays juicy and well-seasoned--a messy, mouthwatering must-try. Pulled pork: Juicy, smoky, and perfectly shredded, this BBQ pulled pork is packed with deep, slow-cooked flavor. Tender and satisfying, it's true Southern comfort on a bun or with another carb (like jasmine rice, LOL). Turkey: Surprisingly juicy with a subtle smokiness, this BBQ turkey is a lighter take on classic barbecue. The seasoning enhances the natural flavor without drying it out, and a hint of char adds depth. A lean, flavorful option that doesn't sacrifice taste. Baked beans: Rich, hearty, and full of smoky sweetness, these BBQ baked beans are the perfect sidekick to any barbecue plate. Slow-cooked with bits of meat and bold seasoning, they offer a satisfying blend of sweet, savory, and just a hint of spice. Mac & cheese: Creamy, cheesy, and irresistibly comforting, this mac and cheese nails the classic. The pasta is perfectly cooked, and the rich cheese sauce clings to every bite. Simple, satisfying, and always a crowd-pleaser. Also - if you're a Knicks fan, they host viewing parties here. Forgot buying tickets to go to MSG, come to this place to watch the games... especially if they are in the playoffs! read more

First time stopping by and ill start by saying I appreciate the size of this place. Its nice and spacious and has outdoor seating in the back which I loved. I got a meat & two sides. The ribs were really good and the collard greens. The mac and cheese could use improvement. It was very bland and just wet. The cornbread was bomb not included in the platter its an extra cost but worth it. My bf had brisket which was dry. Overall compared to other bbq spots this was 7/10 but id go back and try a sandwhich and its a nice space to hang with people as well. read more

The space is large and airy! To be fair we went during off peak hours. The ribs, pulled pork, purple coleslaw, fries, Mac and cheese are really good! The brisket was also flavored well and peppery but could have been more fatty. My burger was juicy but could have used more flavoring and perhaps they burnt it becausesometimes it tasted a little bitter. My friend said she enjoyed her ribs but did not enjoy the potato salad or the collard greens. The service is quick and efficient and friendly. It's mostly serve yourself, they have condiments, utensils and napkins on the side. It's just a nice place to hang and chill with your crew. read more

Must say this is one of the best bbq places I've been to. Everything I ordered was cooked perfectly. Chicken, ribs, yankee sausage, brisket, pastrami, corn bread and the collared greens.

Even though it was hot out, there was a good breeze so you could sit inside or in the courtyard. read more

I came here on a Sunday. It was packed with people (a lot families with babies) but still a good amount of seats. I ordered the one meat (brisket) and two sides (Mac & cheese, fries) combo and a soft drink. The total came out to be about $35. To me that was pricey for the amount of food I got. The brisket was okay, it was dry and so were the fries. Probably won't come back again. read more

This place has a ton of space and big, picnic tables to on which to park your large crew. There are televisions showing sporting events if that's your jam, and Pig Beach has a yard with more seating outside. My boyfriend and I shared the sampler platter, where our favorites were the pulled pork and beef brisket. The smoked turkey and ribs were good, too, but not as show-stopping. Pig Beach has a large bar centrally located for drinks at decent prices. The food line is cafeteria-style (yes, you get a tray), so you can order and pay for your meal and then sit and stay awhile. They keep the radio volume loud, even when it's mostly empty in the joint, so don't expect a library, but overall this is a spot that easily accommodates groups. read more

Picnic benches that kill your backside. Lunch line assembly setup, I got the brisket with Mac and cheese with corn bread. The brisket was way too fatty and they don't give you more than 4 ounces. the Mac has a weird color and was soupy. The cornbread was good. This cost me 38 dollars. I literally threw away everything but the cornbread. This is not BBQ , sorry. read more

First time going and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The noise level was way too loud - granted there were sporting events showing on the TVs but the music way turned so high we were shouting to hear each other across the table. Seating is first come, first serve - large space with lots of tables. You get in line to order cafeteria style - sides, mains, desserts, and drinks. You get cups to use for soft drinks. They have a water station with small cups. There's stations for paper plates, utensils and condiments. Even boxes and lids for packaging - and paper shopping bags. We went on a Saturday around 6pm with a group of 8 plus a child. $1 wings all day on Saturdays. I was able to try the Hot Honey Dry rub which I really liked. My son thought I liked it because it has a flavor similar to Pringles BBQ chips. It's got a slight sweetness to it. Then I tried the Hatch Vinegar Buffalo which was basically a Buffalo Chicken flavor - not my favorite. If you like that flavor, order this type which came with Blue Cheese dressing on the side. While we waited for the rest of the group - We ordered a pitcher of beer, soda and some wings. For the dinner we ordered more wings and the BBQ XL Combo which was a pound of brisket (yum!), a pound of pulled pork (so tender and juicy), a full rack of ribs (everyone loved this), 4 pieces of cornbread (moist and delicious), plus 4 sides. We got vinegar coleslaw (helped cut the heavy food), BBQ baked beans, collard greens, and Mac & cheese. Oh, they also gave us sliced bread. There was a BBQ sauce machine to allow you to get little containers to try. We had leftovers. But we got three desserts to share since everyone was pretty stuffed already. Key Lime Pie, Pecan Pie and Fudge Brownie. I wish I had saved room to try some. Others who had them said they were very sweet. We packed them to go as well. Overall, a fun meal. Would've been nicer if the music was turned down halfway. Oh, someone clears the table afterwards. And they have wet wipes -- a definite necessity! read more

This space in Astoria is huge. Theres plenty of indoor and outdoor space. We came for an event celebrating a 60th birthday. There was a special area for this event but the space was so large you had to find it. Definitely a space to consider for parties. The BBQ was of course excellent: pork, brisket, and turkey. The event space also had its own bar which was convenient. Definitely a good hang out spot. Worth a visit read more

TLBR- Was pretty disappointed with the food we received. Wings were good, but the hot honey rub is way spicier than expected/it should be. 1/2 rack of Ribs had decent flavor but had so much fat tucked in there, that it wasn't enjoyable. Also shorter/smaller in size than some of their bbq competitors. More comparable to riblets. Portion size doesn't seem commensurate with pricing or quality. The sides were the most disappointing. I enjoyed the potato salad, but the collards were soooooo salty and the coleslaw was soooo wet and mayo heavy/forward and the cabbage not crisp, that I had to throw them out. I could tell that they were not fresh. The containers they came in also looked like they had been thru it. Perhaps prepared days before in prep for their day of closure due to training? Please taste your food before deeming it acceptable for public consumption. Also did not receive the fries that we thought were included with the meal. Placed order on Jan 11. Place came recommended on Reddit, albeit not very many bbq options in the area. We wanted to order the day before (10th) but restaurant was closed for a training, so all good. I called around 2:15 on 6/11 asking when would be a good time to order as they had some wonky page on Uber Eats that didn't feature their menu. I was told I could order at 5P for delivery. Hmm, you open at 2P. That's an awfully long time to wait to place an order. You have already started the day later than most restaurants w/ an open time 2 hrs after most lunch breaks. I would think you would be prepared to service clients upon opening. My Co worker called at 3:15 and was told that they were having issues with their Uber eats account. She checked UE at around 3:30 and it appeared fixed. read more

(August 2024) Came here with a big group of friends and it was the perfect spot for a large group. It's a very chill vibe with a picnicy kind of feel. We saw mostly younger folks there but it seems to vary in age groups! Now some of the biggest reasons why we ended up coming here was cause of the food! I'm not the biggest BBQ girly but it was pretty damn good, and I could see why they won awards for it. I personally had the Mac and Cheese (which was AWESOME) and the pulled pork. It's cafeteria style where you go on the line you get a tray and you pick the food you want. You pay at the end and the bar is right there, so you can grab a drink shortly after. Everything was reasonably priced and there were plenty of TVs showing sports. They also have some games you can either bring to the table or outside game (like cornhole, which I'd SMOKE y'all if you tried playing against me haha). Definitely a great find in Astoria. Totally coming back! read more
