Excellent barbecue in Boston . This visit was another visit for bbq and consistent with my prior visits. Great beer selection and highest one's own draft. The Robot crusher IPA, widow maker IPA were successful selection among my local brewers... night shift for one. Meal combos could be a bit more extensive. Meat and two was a single meat and two sides. I ordered this with ribs, Mac and cheese, beans. It comes with bread, pickles, pickled onions. I needed my smoked turkey , smoked brisket as I've had here, so can order a 1/4 or 1/2 lb of each. I ordered a 1/4 lb of each knowing leftover was to be the lunch sandwich tomorrow. Well, the beans were fantastic with chucks of brisket mixed in... best beans I've had at all the bbq places in Massachusetts and beyond . Mac and cheese very good, but I needed a multi cheese cork screw pasta blend like another spot ... excellent Mac and cheese still The ribs in the meat combo order were a hefty portion and meat fall off bones, perfect smoke, not salty meat... excellent. The 1/4 brisket was fall apart tender; excellent flavor, not dry, nice smoke flavor, not fatty and maybe a bit more fat maybe how others like. Excellent brisket and remains went into my baked beans cup for lunch tomorrow. Smoked turkey was tender, excellent flavors and I only order the smoked turkey here as other places serve it too dry... this was real deal . Choices of 3-4 bbq sauces, I plated all 4 and mixed, and used all four... I would have liked a far different one to provide a greater range ... a berry based sauce I had elsewhere would be the bomb on this turkey . Bread I would like to see replaced with a slice cornbread cinnamon buttered, pickled onions I don't need, pickles ok but a slaw cumber mix instead would be better ... Nice vibes with pickle ball courts, families, private parties here. Brews and Que all great here... the smoked wings look great and tough to order those and pass on a turkey or brisket side order... My only complaint is the ridiculously uncomfortable bar chairs... you need a chiropractor after sitting too long... doesn't promote people wanting to stay long... change these out ... few hundred bucks for padded seats with a comfortable arch and back... Firefly's bbq in Marlborough had best comfort vat seats in Massachusetts... send the manager up there to try one on his buttocks vs. this metal basement stool type from IKEA discount furniture. read more

Went to Pig Beach BBQ not realizing it was also a place to play pickleball & host game nights. No problem. Husband & I stayed & ate at the bar. Wings were really good. Service was friendly. It was fun watching people play pickle ball while we ate. read more

Stopped by Pig Beach BBQ after playing pickleball at PKL and thought it was a great spot. The BBQ was tasty, portions were decent, and there were a lot of different sauces to try. The mac and cheese and coleslaw were both surprisingly good. Prices are a little high, but not unreasonable. Overall, a fun place to grab food and a drink after a game. read more

Delicious BBQ but even better service. All the proteins in the BBQ Sampler were succulent and flavorful. My favs were either the brisket or the ribs. The BBQ Tater Tots had an amazing seasoning and were absolutely delicious. The leftovers will easily last a few meals! Only caveat was some of the meats were warm and not hot. It's cool how they mashed up a pickleball club and a BBQ joint (I guess, do the former and then eat at the latter haha). They serve BBQ (and BBQ sauces) from many different regions of the US. Nice decor and music choice too. What stood out the most though, was the hospitality. They gave a free BBQ Popcorn sampler, which was seasoned with the same amazing seasoning as the Tater Tots. They also gave great recs and were attentive throughout my meal. Before I left, I asked for some of the BBQ sauces to-go and they gave 7 small containers of different sauces. Easily worth the splurge and the service! Definitely recommend, will be back! read more

OMG... The wings, Get them... Get 200 of them (I did) Seriously... We had a team bldg event at PKL and we had a giant spread of food, Wings, Pretzels, Stuffed Mushrooms, lots of things, and the wings were soooo good that I literally ordered about 48 to take home. The dry rub was INSANE... All the food was great. The vibe here is great and you are able to go eat without even picking up a game of Pickleball, but its a fun, open bar area and I hear the vibe is great on a Saturday night. Sad that all the wings are finally gone at home so I might have to come back & pick up some more! Hey, did I mention you should try the wings! Staff was all great too, def look into hosting a Team meeting there, everyone went above & beyond! read more

Hands down the best barbecue in Boston. Meltiest brisket I've ever had, creamy Mac n Cheese, even the turkey is tasty. Inventive side dishes, seasoned chips excellent. And the sauces, all unique, complementary, and delicious. And holds up well to delivery too. My only minor critique is the desert options could use a peach and/or banana option. And ironically the ribs were not my favorite item here. That's the one dish here that maybe you'd enjoy more somewhere else. I've had it twice and it was a bit on the tough side for my liking. That said, everything else available more than makes up for this. read more

We ordered through Door Dash and we do not believe that affected the food quality as it arrived very quickly from nearby and was hot. We chose this place based on reviews and awards. My husband is a Nashville native and we spend a significant amount of time in GA and SC. That being said did not find this to be a repeat visit candidate. The brisket was dry and barely spiced. It was lean however. The baked beans were excellent as was the vinegar based slaw. The pickles and pickled onions were a nice side. We were a bit baffled by the side of grocery store bread and expected corn bread. We also got key like pie which was a huge hit with the hubs - although a tiny piece for the price but hey it's Boston. We also got the fudge brownie which was mediocre although very fudgy as described. So why a 3? If you're a BBQ joint and the meat is only so so that's a problem. read more

Pig Beach BBQ - Brownie, meat +2 sides (key like pie is already being eaten!) - this is $55 before tip. - Barbeque Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

So I ordered the combo and was a little skeptical of the amount of food. Low and behold I weighed most of the meat and in yotal it was about two pounds. Well met Pg Beach, well met. This is what I weighed: 1/4 LB PULLED PORK 1/4 LB SMOKED TURKEY 1/4 LB BEEF BRISKET 3 BABY BACK RIBS 1 SAUSAGE LINK read more

Whew found this place on the way to the airport. I ordered the chicken sandwich with the tots and had a drink called Left Eye. My sandwich was soooo tasty and well flavored and the tater tots with the Cajun seasoning. The drink was the perfect addition. The service was good staff are friendly and nice. The ambiance was fun, good music and a vibe read more

Me and my wife had lunch here at this restaurant. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by front staff. The staff were friendly and helpful. My wife ordered fried chicken sandwich with the seasoned tater tots. She loved the fried chicken sandwich and the tater tots. She said the chicken was juicy and cooked to perfection. She loved the sauce on the sandwich and the tater tots were seasoned very well. I ordered the brisket Philly cheesesteak and potato chips with bbq seasoning. The meat was bbq to perfection and seasoned well. The taste was amazing and the cheese with the veggies and the soft roll was phenomenal. The chips were fresh and delicious. I ordered my wife a jalapeño margarita which she loved. The bar and the restaurant is great. You can play games while you wait and they had tv all around. A great place to go to watch a game or just a nice chill date night spot. read more

If you were to tell me that the best BBQ spot in Boston was in an indoor pickleball court in Southie, I'd literally think you were lying BUT it's true... Pig Beach BBQ is hands down, the best place for BBQ in Boston! They're located inside PKL indoor pickleball facility, off of Old Colony Ave in Southie. We got to try their food today for lunch! Here's what we got: -Meat & 2 Combo: 1/2 rack of ribs For our 2 sides we got mac&cheese + BBQ tatertots $28 -1/2 lb beef brisket $19 -hot honey dry rub wings $12 -lemon pepper wings (off menu) Drinks: ginger ale & Shirley temple Thoughts: OMG! Literally so good! Our favorite has to be the 1/2 rack of ribs! The flavor was perfect and meat was fall off the bone tender. AND you've gotta get their wings, I'm not even remotely joking, they're bomb! I'm not usually a fan of dry rub, HOWEVER, the hot honey dry rub & the lemon pepper wings were absolute GAS! So much flavor, incredibly delish, & they stayed hot for from beginning to end of the meal somehow? I love my food nice and hot so I was definitely a happy gal since everything came out hot + fresh. I will say, the brisket was the dish we had the highest expectations for. Unfortunately didn't end up being the star of the show for us. Now don't get me wrong, it was still good! As good as Texas or Tennessee BBQ? Not quite but we're getting there! The brisket was just drier than expected and didn't have the burst of flavor we were hoping for. Okay, now on to the sides! The sides were YUM. Go look at those tater tots! They were some of the best tater tots I've had in a while, full of flavor and honestly don't even need sauce because all the flavor is already there. The Mac & cheese was also very good, very solid. The cucumbers & pickled onions were on point, as well. The pickled onions were different & I really enjoyed them. Not too pickled & had a hint of cinnamon. I've had BBQ before in the south, however, never in Boston & honestly everything we had today was super solid & legit! The wings were one of the first dishes to arrive to the table and literally set the tone for the rest of the meal, seriously did not disappoint. Besides the brisket being slightly dry, everything was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The flavor...the tenderness of the ribs... THE WINGS...to the sides, so yeah, I will be back very soon! Highly recommend. Must try BBQ spot in Southie ;)) read more

PHE-NOMENAL!!! We didn't get to enjoy this place for all it's worth but food and drinks was off the charts!! Definitely one of the best burgers I've had in Boston and all ovah the country! The smoked wings were also deeeee-lishh-usssss!!! Daughters loved her platter and the wife was a huge fan of the collards. Being from the south - Georgia to be exact she what you would call a connoisseur of greens and this was her absolute favorite from everywhere we've evah eaten. So hats off to this yummy establishment! It's book marked/added to my all time favs and will be referring and talking about this place to errrone. PS owner, mode to Arizona and I'll support you by eating here all the time read more

(Personally) Potato salad needs more mayo coleslaw as well. Brisket beautiful. Just needed extra house BBQ sauce. Corn bread and maple butter? Devine. Pickles were essential. Did take out man who took my order was pleasant. Will be back. read more

I cannot I haven't heard about this place until now! As soon as you enter, their inviting and friendliest hosts, servers, and bartenders make you feel welcomed and at home. They are so helpful in making recommendations. We got their award winning Smash Burger made with Wagyu beef and an addictive special sauce, BBQ Sampler, Wings, Mac n Cheese, and Baked Beans. Everything tasted amazing but that burger has legit captured my heart. I would come here just for their burger! I love their indoor pickleball court because now we can play all year round! This is an absolute must visit spot! read more

Honestly i didn't know this was here, i heard there was pickle ball courts in Southie but didnt know the BBQ joint was inside. The lady was craving some BBQ and we didn't really know where to go. Now I'm glad she had this spot saved on her to-try list! We got the pick 2 combo (one protein and 2 sides) about $28 - Half rack ribs - BBQ tater tots fire! - Mac and cheese was good and creamy We also got a half pound of brisket, which unfortunately wasn't our favorite, our portion though overall tender still, was def more on the dry side and didn't have that crust on the outside of the pieces like I'm used to for BBQ, seasoning on our particular portion was lacking. Our ribs came out like warm / cold BUT the chef / owner? Came out immediately after realizing our issue and brought a plate of LEMON PEPPER wings (he didn't have to do that) but my goodness those wings were PHENOMENAL! I thought it was better than the Hot honey dry rub wings we ordered already (which were great on their own). Wings were large, crispy, and juicy! Great service overall and they really seem to care about the customer experience! Thank you for that. The taters were CRISPY and well fried, while still being hot and moist inside (not dried out and hard like many other places). Kept eating more taters and being like..... crud i need room for the rest of the food. Sodas were great, ginger ale, Shirley temple all had great flavor, plenty of fizz not flat or tasteless! Drink menu was nice but we didn't try the cocktails, very good sounding menu tho with pop culture names! Our fave def was the half rack ribs when the newly fired (and we were cool if they just oven baked our portion) one got served, nice and hot fall off the bone ribs. Flavor was great, texture was great, nice, tender, moist. Has a fun atmosphere, plenty of family and kids, multiple PKL ball courts, corn hole etc. not sure the rates as we just popped in for a bite, but looks like a good option especially while it's brick out now. read more

The service here was absolutely great! It was my first time here and the manager was very friendly and even gave us a complimentary BBQ popcorn, which was PHENOMENAL! The prices were reasonable and food came out very quick. We order the BBQ Rub wings, 1/2 pound brisket with 2 sides(vinegar coleslaw and Mac and cheese) and got 1/4 smoked turkey. The meat was smoked and seasoned very well. Dipped in all their BBQ sauces and it was delicious. Wings were crispy and juicy. The Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. The slaw was simple and refreshing. The sneaky star of the show was the pickles and pickled onions, they added so much to the dish! The restaurant was clean and up-kept with a really cool concept of having corn hole and pickle ball set ups. I'm absolutely coming back! read more

Insanelyyy good barbecue at a pickleball place randomly?? I tried the barbecue sampler, smashburger, and wings and wowww. The burger was ridiculously good (add the bacon jam!), and the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs were so tender and flavorful. They also provide a bunch of sauces so you can mix and match them with the meats. The cornbread side was also so good!! The service is good and it's a very casual space (it is inside a pickleball place lol). read more

Don't expect Southern bbq here but the food is still tasty. The pulled pork was tender and had a nice tangy vinegar sauce that made up for the lack of smokiness. The Mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy - like the velveeta variety. Incredibly addicting. The cornbread ate more like a cake and was on the sweet side. In a city without decent bbq, pig beach does the job. read more

Pig Beach was such a fun experience. Not only do they serve high quality and delicous bbq dishes, you can book pickleball courts with PKL and play with your friends. It was my first time ever trying pickleball and it was so much fun. After having a nice exercise with pickleball, there was nothing better than to renergize with delicious bbq. The bar and seating area was spacious with big screen tvs to watch some sports while dining. The staff was very welcoming and have such great positive energy. My favorite was definitely the burger, the patty was cooked perfectly and it was topped with their delicious secret sauce. I would also recommend their bbq platter so you can try a bit of everything. Everything tasted so amazing and you can adjust the flavoring to your liking with their various sauces. We also got to try their wings and it was so juicy and comes in various flavors which was all amazing. read more

Best bbq I've had in Boston. Turkey was tender and moist. Collards were also a hit with loads of meat throughout. Got takeout and rider was easy to pickup. Will be back to try more read more

I hate to do this but the quality of Pigs Beach has nosedived - that which has always been overpriced is now overpriced and not good. Quantity has always been tough here, but the service and quality of the food itself has become pitiful. Best way I can describe it is as Sysco BBQ - tastes and looks like something you could get at a college dining hall. Last two in-person visits felt like the hostess and server/bartender were miserable to see me there and topping that off with poor food just shuts me out. Purple coleslaw used to taste great - crunchy and flavorful, countering the BBQ's acidity - now it's a watery cup of soggy plant matter that I don't touch after 1 experimental bite. Tater tots and ribs used to taste FRESH and delicious - now seem more like they've been sitting under heat lamps for hours. Mac & Cheese with meat orders are a rip off - as are all of the sandwiches I've eaten- Philly Steak sandwich is a grilled cheese with a pinch of meat added, smashburger is a mess of low-quality beef and pulled pork sandwich is sized like it was made for a 5 year old, despite being priced around $15. Do they at least come with fries? No, pay extra for that. Can you get extra sauce with a sandwich on a to go order? No, pay extra for that. Speaking of to go; To-go sandwich orders used to come with napkins and a wet-nap - not anymore, so expect a mess if you're out and about. They used to have deals throughout the week - last in-person visit we find out while seated that one of those deals is no more - so the whole reason we came is gone. Manager could have honored the deal - waitress had to go check to see if it was still in-place or cancelled - but instead chose to let us know while seated that it's over as of that day. No social media post giving a heads up prior to or on that day either. I used to love this place - brought various groups of friends, my parents and more to eat and drink here but I can't even be bothered to go myself anymore, even after a big payday when money's no focus. It's not worth it to be treated coldly and served overpriced slop. I'll drive out of the city to get better BBQ - the time to drive is more than worth it when Pigs quality is at where it is at today. What was once a delightful surprise to discover in a pickleball building is now exactly the sort of BBQ you would expect to come out of a pickleball building - bad. read more

Have both eaten in and taken out. Only eat in if you love hearing plastic balls being slapped around. But for the BBQ, it is the best in the city. Their BBQ Sampler is the . An amazing value considering how much and how delicious each item is. I'm a fan of the ribs and turkey and my wife's are the pulled pork and brisket. greens and tato salad for just over $50? Damn!! That's a picnic, a snack on the way home and a meal later. read more

The food was just mediocre. Nothing special. I ordered it yesterday ribs. They tasted like they weren't grilled etc. Not your typical barbecue place. read more

The baby ribs were super good! The jalapeno link was delicious as well, but I had to say, $9 Dlls for one is kind of pricey. Other than that, I would order from here again! read more

We very much liked PKL's old menu, but Pig Beach is next level. Out of the gate I'm going say it's the best BBQ in Boston. I'm not a dry rub guy but the wings are very good. Ribs - best I've had. Pulled pork ++. Oh, and my son and wife declared the smash burger the best they have ever had. Plus, solid vibes and a great playlist. read more

Got the catering for an engagement party. Ordered a week in advance and Dustin had great communication and the order was ready at pick up. All of the food was a big hit, pulled pork, brisket was delicious. Mac n Cheese was yummy and surprisingly the purple coleslaw was the best dish! The wings did not disappoint, highly recommend for a catered event. read more

This was a great place for me and my husband. Hard day turned into something so much better. Amazing service! Will be coming back!!!!!

The food was great the place is in an unassuming place within a pickle ball place definitely recommended

Delicious! Had no idea it was inside the pickleball courts so that was surprising when we walked in but ended up actually being a vibe. Will come back to play at some point. Was definitely expensive but what place isn't these days read more

maybe im dumb but DID NOT realize this was in a pickleball place! food was just okay! reviews made me expect more but my mac n cheese felt mediocre and the meat wasnt super tender for the wings or pulled pork read more

Very tasty BBQ Great brisket Enjoyable sides as well. Will have to return as could be rated higher potentially read more

Very solid BBQ spot. The brisket was very good & tender.. The sides.. Collard greens, beans, & cornbread was all exceptional. The smoked turkey was also great. Enjoyed every bite! read more

I don't do reviews. I'm a backyard BBQ connoisseur, Bbq in Boston is usually passable at best at the better places around here . That being said the brisket sandwich i just had from here... too go mind you., was easily the best brisket sandwich iv ever had. I'll be back to confirm it's not just a one off but if it isn't. This is a must try! read more
