    Platter with extra side and an order of burnt ends added
    Mike M.

    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).

    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. The food was spot on, the specialty fries loaded are worth a trip a lone. Had a drink at the bar and the bartender was fun and she held conversation with who ever wanted to talk.

    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!

    Turkey sandwich.... so tender

    Bearded pig is one of the best bbq joints in jax, if not the best. Been there a number of times. Great selection on the menu for main courses and sides. Wanted to get some burnt ends but sold out by the time we got there. Got turkey sandwich with collard green sides and candyce got the pulled pork sandwich with waffle fries. Also got 2 orders of smoked wings to go Great special with the wings. Buy between 2 and 6 for only $10. 4 bucks off! Definitely will be back.

    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. Complete with lighted Shiner Bock marquee sign!

    San Marco Platter
    Michelle V.

    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

    Really great BBQ in Jax. Can't go wrong with anything but was actually surprised by the how good the chicken was! Nice outdoor area, quick and easy service even when it's busy.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Pimento cheese and saltine cracker starter
    Holly K.

    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!

    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

    Sauce selection. All fantastic!!!
    David A.

    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.

    I don't think so. I haven't personally driven by, but searching on Yelp there no new reviews, nothing on their website about takeout. The restaurants that are open are all pushing pretty hard to get people to come in and order from them. So Im like,… Read more

    I've noticed their beautiful patio-dining area. Do they host game nights?

    Is your banana pudding gluten free?

    The girl at the bar told me yes that they would not at the nila wafers. Hope this helps!

I enjoyed the food; however, I think some details were missing or off for the price point. For example, the rib eye was requested for medium temp; however, it was medium rare and very chewy. The broiled ocean platter was kind of skimpy for the price point, and the shrimp & lobster diavolo were pretty good (though lobster wasn't very tender and slightly rubbery). I also wasn't given a pasta spoon- so had slight difficulty eating it. It took quite a while for us to get our food, approx 45 minutes? Our waitress was very kind and checked in- but forgot the lemons I had asked for- for the waters. We had inputted in our reservation request to not be in the center- and we were sat in the middle; though, 80% of the tables were empty.

The rooftop bar is definitely the highlight, offering great views of the river and downtown skyline, especially around sunset. It creates a relaxing vibe that works well for date nights, drinks with friends, or special occasions. The food overall was good, with a menu that offers a nice mix of seafood, steaks, and Southern-inspired dishes. Some items were excellent and well-prepared, while others felt a little pricey for the portion size. The cocktails were creative and well-made, though drinks can add up quickly. Service was friendly and professional, but during busy hours things moved a bit slower than expected. Parking can also be limited depending on the time of day, so arriving early helps. Overall, River & Post delivers more on atmosphere and experience than just the food alone. While it may not be the cheapest dining option in Jacksonville, the rooftop views and overall ambiance make it worth checking out at least once.

Drinks not filled, food brought out a different points when we asked for it to be brought together etc. One of the guests requested their sauce on the side and it came right on top of her cold steak. We had to constantly grab anyone who worked there to get help and get served or drink refills. Very atypical of Prospect. I'm reviewing again to be constructive. I still love Prospect and I need them to be the excellent experience they have always been. I'm truly hoping this was a one off afternoon.

Calamari was prepared well and not too chewy. We shockingly each chose a salad: the bistro steak, the chop chop Asian, the goat cheese, and the salmon. Each one was incredible.

The salmon BLT is served on bread that is cut so thick you're mostly just eating old/stale bread, and the sandwich is also greasy. Their french fries come drenched in a disgusting garlic oil and cheap grated parmesan. It's bad cooking dressed up to look fancy without any understanding of the basics. The restaurant fits as well. Its ugly artwork is accompanied by furniture that looks like it was ripped out of a Le Pain Quotidien. The cakes look amazing, and the bar is nicely designed and well stocked, but neither saves the drab surrealist-cafeteria vibe of this pretentious establishment.
