Delicious bbq. Husband and I enjoyed going to their Jacksonville Beach location but took the 30 minute drive to have some yummy bbq. We were happy to make the drive! I got pull pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, French fries and baked beans. My husband got 10 chicken wings, turkey and sausage along with cold slaw and baked beans. We ordered way too much food but now have leftovers for tomorrow! read more

Really cute, casual spot with plenty of parking. You order at the front when you come in, get a number, and they bring the food to your table. The guy who took our ordered was very nice. Everything was very very good the only thing we didn't enjoy the Burnt Ends ($10 ) . They were a little to fatty and not cook enough. We didn't say anything so I am not sure if they would have remade for us . We also ordered some meet à la carte . You can choose how much you want . Sides are not included . The brisket and turkey were are favorite . Ribs were good . read more

Came here for the first time- was visiting my brother in Jacksonville, and the staff was kind. They have a parking lot so no need to worry about where to park. You order at the register, they give you a table number, and they bring it out to your table. We got the Whole South Bank (and apparently it was the last for the night- we got there around 7:30/8pm). The Whole South Bank came with ribs, chicken, and two other meets of your choice (we got brisket and pulled pork) along with 4 sides. We also got a Cobb salad since it was a travel day for us and we felt we needed some green. They have both indoor and outdoor seating- we chose indoor due to the air quality that day. They do not have a military discount, but food was pretty good. read more

Came in to The Bearded Pig in Jacksonville looking for some solid BBQ and it ended up being one of the better meals we had on the trip. Right away the place had a great vibe, busy but still comfortable, and you could tell they take their food seriously. Marcus took care of us and his service really stood out. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out right without us having to ask. It's always a plus when the service matches the quality of the food, and he definitely made the experience even better. The brisket sandwich was excellent, full of flavor with that perfect smoky taste and really tender meat. You can tell it's done right. The pulled pork sandwich was just as impressive, juicy and packed with flavor in every bite. Both sandwiches were filling and hit the spot. The mac and cheese was great as well, creamy and rich and paired perfectly with the BBQ. It's one of those sides you don't think much about at first but end up finishing completely. Overall this place delivers on both food and service. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Jacksonville and want some legit BBQ. read more

It's been 6 years since we last visited Jacksonville & our 2019 trip left us with the Bearded Pig as the highlight. We were thrilled to find that this business was not only still in existence, but had moved to a larger property to accommodate for their success! Harley was our server on this visit and she was exceptional. The food was as top notch as we remembered, enough to make us know that anytime we are in Jax, this is where we are coming. We had pulled pork, chopped brisket, burnt ends, collards, sweet potato fries--spectacular! read more

Every time I come to Jacksonville from now on I will make this my stop. The atmosphere with the bar is incredible and just fun.

We ordered the San Marco platter for $36 and an additional side of Jalapeño poppers with 2 sweet teas for a total of $51. We were pleasantly greeted after after a brief wait in line to order. You select your own seating. We sat outside due to the amazingly mild temperatures. The San Marco platter comes with 2-3 ribs, 1/4 chicken, your choice of 2 other meats anf your choice of 2 sides. We chose brisket, sausage, slaw and sweet and sour beans. A sandwich roll comes with it and a few slices of pickle and onions. My sweet tea was good, but dont let it sit too long. Your ice will melt and make it to o much lime colored water. The slaw is a vinegar base with kale and cabbage shredded mix. It was good, but was missing the bite I was hoping for. The sweet and sour beans are best foe those with a blended palette. We appreciated them and may try to recreate them at home. Not too sweet nor too tangy(sour). Pickle slices were favorable. I only wish we had more than 3 slices. The meat all had a great smokeiness to them. The chicken leg quarter was tender and paired will the the Sweet and Tangy sauce option they provided. We had brisket that was both lean and another that had medium fattiness. Tender and savory. We had some of their mustard sauce with it. The ribs were very seasoned, fairly meaty and came clean from the bone in some parts. The thinner end of the rib was a little tough. The sausage was the star. It had an amazing smoke ring and shined all by its lonesome. The service was pleasant and attentive. The establishment was visibly very well kept. We left there thicker than a tick read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and finally got to try it! Came here after visiting the new Riverfront Plaza, it was about a 5 min drive so it was a nice option for after a fun fam day at the park. It was a busy Saturday night but I think the line went by for a busy night. The process of ordering and finding a seat was easy and smooth. Servers and workers are so friendly and hard working. We sat outside. I had my puppy in his bag carrier so it was nice to have the option to bring him to a family dinner with us. Theres heated lamps outside for the cold nights. The space had a cute wall where kids and draw on. My kid had fun playing around, making friends with another kid there. Very cute. Now, onto the food! I had the regular brisket sandwich. Without sauces: 4/5 With sauces: 5/5 Flavorful, melt in your mouth, bread was nice and soft. Sweet potato waffle fries: 5/5 I love that it was salty haha King sandwich: 4/5 My husband had this and this was his rating, he said he liked that all the toppings went well together. Kids hot dog: 5/5 According to my 6 yo old she loved it lol read more

Ok so we stopped in for lunch while in the area. You order at the counter and then they bring it out to you. We ordered one of the platters ($36 approx) it came with 1/4 chicken, 2 ribs, 2 pieces of turkey, 2 pieces of brisket, a side (Mac and cheese) and a roll. We also got an extra side of sweet potato fries and burnt ends. All the meats were very good and well seasoned. The sweep potato fries were out of this world not sure what seasoning they had on them but WOW they were delicious. The only so so note was the Mac and cheese, not bad just average. The building itself was clean and neat, they turned over the tables quickly and checked on guests often. They could use some better signage for the building itself but that is the only knock I can give (gps took us right to it). read more

We finally ate recently at the long awaited Beared Pig restaurant. We opted for the 2 meat and 2 sides combo each and enjoyed everything on the plate. The ribs were a little tougher than I like but everything had great flavor. I love that they put the sauces on the table so you can try everything. The atmosphere is fantastic, there is a lot of patio and indoor seating with TV's all around the bar area. I had a delicious margarita and they have some yummy looking cocktails. read more

For a bbq place to be so great with gluten free food is refreshing. There was plenty on the menu, lots of variety whether you like bbq sauce vinegar, northern, super spicy. The works. Staff were nice (although the one on the phone not so much). But not enough of a weird interaction to warrant a loss of any rating. Plenty of cool shirts and hats. They don't take reservations and they fill up fast on weekends! Safe for celiac disease foodies. read more

There's both indoor and outdoor seating, but if you can snag a table outside, it's a treat. The space is decorated in orange and gray, with wooden vents, bright red umbrellas, turquoise-painted brick walls, and a playful pink pig mural that reads The Bearded Pig. TVs show sports, and there's a long rectangular bar if you'd rather sit and chat with the bartenders. The service is wonderful--friendly smiles and lightning-fast attention. As a vegetarian, my options were limited, but they do offer a veggie plate for $15 with four sides. We went with coleslaw, sweet-and-sour four-bean salad, macaroni and cheese, and sweet potato waffle fries. They'll even throw in a roll if you'd like. We also ordered the pimento cheese with saltines ($6). The portion was generous--about the size of a large ice cream scoop. I paired it with my sweet potato fries, and it was delicious. My husband and I shared, and it was more than enough for us since we're not big eaters. The staff checked in on us several times, making sure everything was just right. Overhead, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats played, setting a great vibe. Another bonus: there's plenty of free parking right behind the restaurant. Definitely worth a visit--come give it a try! read more

Stopped in with my oldest daughter for some top notch 'cue after dropping momma and sister off at their Carnival Cruise. We reached up for the $38 beef rib and it proved to be a great choice. Fat rendered perfectly. So good. Wayne Mueller would be proud. Mac N Cheese got two thumbs up from my sweet girl. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is solid bbq surroundings.

Stopped by Bearded Pig this past weekend. They do everything Florida BBQ and they do it well. You order at the front and they bring it to you. You can sit inside or outside (where they allow dogs-huge plus for us). It's casual but clean. TVs and a great bar inside. Reasonably priced with huge portions and every single one of their sauces are home runs. The poppers are to die for. Bacon wrapped, cream cheese, crispy delicious. The pulled pork was cooked perfectly and I used their hot sauce. Great soda fountain and mixed drinks as well. Happy hours every day. Highly suggest you give them a try. They're a go to for us whenever we're in the mood for BBQ. read more

We are doing an A-Z series and came here for our "B"! The place was super clean and good vibes. The service was excellent. They were very inviting as soon as you walked in. We opted to sit in the dining room room however during the summertime, we will definitely sit outside. The brisket was the best I have had in Jacksonville however the rib was lacking.. had an odd taste of lighter fluid to us for some reason. We posted our full review on TikTok and YouTube if you would like to check it out and follow along for our series. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThucK7qj/ https://youtu.be/vBK6hX35H9E?si=oe8pSD2sDb5NaeDC read more

I have been to spend the night in Jacksonville and decided to try the Bearded Pig. Best barbecue, ribs, burnt ends and great baked beans and macaroni and cheese. Anytime I'm near Jacksonville. I automatically go there. It is always very busy, if you want to take our call ahead and almost impossible to park, but worth it. Indoor and outdoor seating. read more

What went well?!? The fatty brisket melted in my mouth! The seasoning was perfect! Those bacon wrapped jalapeños were what I was waiting for (and burnt ends) and they did not disappoint! I need 2 orders of those just for me. Burnt ends were sold out. Service was as fast as it could be, being the line was out of the door and all bar seating and outdoor seating were occupied. It doesn't matter if you are taking to go or dining in, you get in line, get a number placard, and wait for your order number to be called or delivered to you. If you sit at the bar, it's full service, however, first come first served. Now, if you were SMART and placed an online order, YOU've BEEN HERE BEFORE and know the ropes. The locals were popping in and out like rabbits gathering their orders. And even if they really did not place an order, they were validated and accommodated. Um-kayyyy! I see yall and you better take care of your people. The ambiance was good. Full bar stacked with folks. Outdoor dining area packed. Line out the door. 30 minute wait time for bomb ass food. I waited and WAS NOT disappointed! I'll be back tomorrow for my bbq fix to take to the beach! read more

Excited to find this place for dinner with the family. Our platter had Ribs, Chicken, Pulled Pork and Brisket. We picked mac and cheese and beans as our sides. We tried all the sauces, each of us liking something different. We also ordered brussel sprouts and jalepeno poppers to start. Everything was very delicious ( except the mac and cheese) We will make a special trip here in the future. We left feeling satisfied and that our money was well spent. We sat outside with our Aussie.

We needed to eat badly after a long event and The Bearded Pig was our first choice as soon as we saw their smoked wings! Parking was easy, the wait to order and sit was nonexistent, and the food was amazing. We ate way too many wings, a side of brisket, and sweet potato fries. It was loud and had lots of people watching games on the big screen, but it was clean and if we are back in Jacksonville, would definitely eat there again! read more

I stopped by to grab lunch. I arrived a little before 11 a.m. and there was already a line forming. Luckily I was second in line. The staff was super friendly and I was surprised how quickly I received my order. I ordered the San Marco platter so I had enough for my mother and I. There was more than enough and we had leftovers. It came with ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork, a roll and 2 sides. I got the collards and Brussels sprouts as my sides. Also got banana pudding for dessert. Of course the meats were the star of this meal. Everything was seasoned well and tender. I can't wait to go back again! read more

If you are a BBQ fan, then you must come here! I'm currently in BBQ heaven after eating my late lunch a half hour ago. I got the Pulled Pork Sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries. Wow, it's the best PP sandwich that I've eaten in a long time! I wish they had a restaurant in Miami Beach! We ordered online and ate at our hotel. The staff were very nice at Breaded Pug. The ambiance is casual and hip. My daughter had the same but with Mac n Cheese. She raved about her meal. She also ordered the Banana Bread Pudding and loved it. They have their own free private parking lot fir their customers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. They have a full bar. We hope to go back again. Their prices are reasonable. read more

Some of my favorite BBQ in Jax. Great location in the San Marco area. They have a great outdoor patio as well as indoor seating. Parking is ample in their lot (unless it's super busy). Quick and great service. Order at the counter and the food arrives to you table. Really enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich. Wasn't my first choice but unfortunately they ran out of turkey the day I came in. Sides are delicious as well, really liked the Mac n cheese and French fries but wasn't crazy about their coleslaw. The slaw was too vinegary for me. Portion sizes are ample and the price is fair. They have really great sauces to accompany your meal as well, I liked the sweet BBQ sauce. This is an awesome place for no BS BBQ and great service. read more

We haven't had BBQ this good in quite awhile. The day was perfect so we sat on the shaded porch. Our poutine and food arrived at the same time so we moved our huge tray of food so we could eat that poutine. Love at first bite. The combination of brisket, fries, cheese sauce and pimento cheese was outstanding. We added some of the sweet BBQ sauce. My favorite meat on the platter was the sausage. We had the BBQ beans and the seasonal side of Brussels sprouts. Let me assure you we took half of this meal home. Our guilty pleasure was the banana pudding. Great place with friendly people and staff that keep the place looking good. read more

I got the brisket, Mac and cheese and slaw. My food was delicious besides the slaw but I think it's just not my type of slaw. They did tell me the slaw was vinegar based (which I don't normally eat) but I wanted to give it a shot! However, my husband got the ribs and wings and they weren't great. The seasoning was good on the ribs but they were not tender at all. The wings were a bit overcooked. Overall my food was great but my husband's was not. Hit or miss depending on what you get. The staff was amazing. Kind, upbeat, and attentive. read more
