First time here on a Tuesday. This place never disappoints. Viola is a beast behind the bar. She single handedly took care of the entire bar. The food is always fire and the ambiance is chill. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the BBQ was. It was smoked well, juicy, amazing smoke ring. The meats could have used slightly heavier hand in the seasoning but honestly one of best on Long Island, hands down. The bbq sauce had great flavor, nice thickness and one of the best I've had. Staff was friendly, plenty of parking, lots of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. Great selection of local brews, what more can you ask for? read more

This was NOT written by AI! The food here was scrumptious, stupendous and stellar--buckle up for a review or reviews. First of all, we thought that the brisket was probably one of the best briskets ever. The bark was thick. It was like a 16th of an inch, maybe a 32nd of an inch bar and there was a prominent smoke ring. The bark was seasoned just perfectly and the smoke flavor--combined--the flavor was on load from God. You did not need any sauce to augment the flavor, but the spicy BBQ sauce was delicious too with pleasant gustatory resonating notes of onion. The chicken--well, that's always a challenge for both home cooks and restaurant chefs--dry white parts is as old is the day is long. If you want some cooking tricks, send me a message on Yelp and I can clue you in. Here though--they nailed it. The skin was crispy, seasoned perfectly, and toothsome but the star of the show was clearly the meat itself, and it was very very moist, a nice hint of smoky flavor and very flavorful. The ribs were also delicious--like the brisket--no sauce needed...prominent smoke ring, moist and tender. The were not fall off the bone but this neither detracted from the taste nor flavor, nor experience. In some ways it made it easier to eat. I could not tell if they left the underside membrane on--but if they did, that would be ok, and to the extent if helped with give the ribs structure--hallelujah. The ribs were so good, I was tempted to bring some home and nurse their consumption over a few days. The French fries were ok--- average, but pleasantly crisp. If I had a recommendation it would be to offer baked potatoes and then charge extra for stuffing it with brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, or just plain. read more

Moist brisket here is probably the best on the island. There's nothing that doesn't hit the spot on this menu. There's TL burger is perfect. Can't get enough of this place! read more

Townline BBQ - Brisket Moist, TownLine Pickles - Barbeque Near Me - Sagaponack, New York

I have been coming here for years. The pickle juice shots are the best that I have ever had provided that they are made from dill pickles. There are two flavored pickled shots. The first one is sweet, and the second one tastes salty yet sour. The bartender explained that the "salty yet sour" one is the one that is made from dill pickles, so I must be sure to ask for that. I always sit at the bar. My go-to order are the dry-rub wings. The dry rub is so good that I buy a to-go container of it for $10 to prepare my chicken, fish, and vegetables at home. The bar tenders are friendly and provide outstanding service. The customers are so down to earth, you would never know that you are in The Hamptons. If you are willing to make the drive out East to try great BBQ in a casual atmosphere, then come to Townline BBQ. read more

I ordered a half a pound of barbecue chicken TO GO and nowhere on the menu does it say that it is served on two slices of bread. I would like it to be in a to go container. You should list how the food comes. If I wanted my barbecue on bread, I would've asked for that, and if it comes on bread, you need to tell people on the menu. Yes I know that there is a clause at the bottom that says if you have food allergies to let the kitchen know, at the same time you need to let your patrons know how the food is served. I spoke with an employee with attitude and to be honest, I am very, very disappointed. He mentioned that he could talk to the owner about it, and I think that the owner should definitely become aware of this major flaw. read more

Amazing,....... omg beef brisket 100 times better then "Katz" smoked chicken its a must try, corn-beef totally hands down one word "delicious" exceptionally pleasing to the palate savory satisfying read more

First off, the food is outrageous!! Fantastic ribs, succulent chicken and pulled pork to die for. AMAZING!! The staff is super duper friendly especially the girls who work there on a work visa for the summer. It appeared a few were working the back seats of a few convertibles as well, but that just adds to the charm of the place! A friend said one was dry and not worth the money he was charged so he wanted to downgrade to 4 stars but I said what I was eating was juicy enough so it gets the full 5 stars. Don't miss dis place! read more

Years years later and this place still rocks it! The food is delish! My husband brought me here back in the day when we were dating, we came again when we got engaged and now 12 years of marriage and 3 kids later, we love bringing our kids here. The service is fast and friendly. We were welcomed with warm smile. Great food, great service!! Tables and floors were spotless! read more

Townline BBQ in Sagaponick, NY After spending over a week on the beach in Southampton, eating fresh seafood and lobster rolls in neighboring restaurants, I was ready for some Comforting BBQ meat. So I introduce you to Townline BBQ. Whether your preference for barbecue originated in Memphis, Kansas City, St. Louis, or Texas hill country, it's likely that you have one -- and allegiances are strong when it comes to the types of food that we have allowed ourselves to fall in love with. The nice thing about making barbecue outside of any one place dedicated to the stuff is that there is still great creative latitude. In the northeast, removed from tradition, we can create restaurants that highlight the best of everything. For Townline, that means St. Louis-style ribs (a sparerib cut with no breastbone) next to South Carolinian hush puppies next to California chili. The result? A menu that feels both cohesive and expansive, that neatly incorporates competing regional foods and urges them to agree with one another. In one broad sense, Townline BBQ feels completely at home in the Honest Man oeuvre: It appeals to a year-round crowd, and is a restaurant dedicated to providing thoughtful and, yes, honest food to the local population. read more

Had not been to TownLine BBQ in several years. Just got take out of a pulled pork sandwich and a pile of "Nuggs". Was hoping for burnt ends, but was told the Nuggs were good. They weren't. Zero flavor; hard as rocks.. The pulled pork was OK. read more

This spot has awesome service as well as delicious meals. One of the best restaurant around here. The drinks and food served quickly and the rates were inexpensive. I recommend this place. Very clean and convenient restaurant. They offer big portions and for reasonable prices. We enjoyed the food very much and the staff members were super attentive and informative. I recommend this place. I ordered some pulled pork. The meal was delicious! The pulled pork, to die for! My girfriend ordered pulled chicken And the chicken was very flavorful & succulent, well flavored, and meaty. Great BBQ. One of the better BBQ spots in the hamptons. I would definitely recommend going. read more

Townline BBQ - Pulled Pork - Barbeque Near Me - Sagaponack, New York

Good food and drinks it was a hike and I would like to go more often but I'm going to have to

If you're spending time in the Hamptons and are getting sick of the overpriced lobster rolls, Townline BBQ offers a welcome alternative option to typical "out east" fare. It's a casual spot that's part bar, part counter service BBQ restaurant that offers more than just your standard ribs and pulled pork sandwiches. There were even a few vegetarian options on the list like buffalo cauliflower, jalapeno coleslaw and buffalo fries slathered in wing sauce and bleu cheese, which were a stand out among everything else we ordered. I appreciated that they offer ribs in single orders just in case you're craving one (and one of these bad boys are huge). The pulled pork sandwich was tender and juicy, and the ribs are cooked perfectly. I love that there's a full bar on the other side of the counter service section which was hopping even on a Sunday afternoon in the off season. I was really surprised that this place isn't rated higher. One note is that parking can get a bit tricky - you may need to side street park which involves a bit of a walk (and getting out into some weeds on the passenger side). read more

Amazing BBQ being smoked in East Hampton?? 2020, SMDH. We're supposed to be on a family vacation in Disney but this virus has other plans. I still took off the week, my wife & I planned one day to hit the beach in Montauk. That day, it just so happens there's a Shark roaming the New York beaches. 2020, you keep on serving up the hits! Any hoo, I have coffee, I have the Jeep roof off and I'm just enjoying the ride. All of a sudden I smell BBQ?! My wife was like, stop the car! We see on the side of the building: TOWN LINE BBQ. Be still my beating heart I tell her, let's hit the beach and swing by on the way back. Deal? Sure enough, I was swimming very close to shore. I got an outrageous golden tan and now it's time for lunch. We make a bee line to Town Line BBQ. It's during the week and we have the place to ourselves. I order a cold draft as well as our standard BBQ: Brisket Ribs Beans Cole Slaw My wife takes a bite of the brisket and I take a rib. We both look at each other as to say, what did we just experience?? The ribs were cooked spot on. Just enough smoke makes them pretty pretty close to being the best I had in a long time. Brisket, I want a little fat on the slice. It makes them incredibly moist. Again, award winning smoked meats. The sides were also dynamic, I liked the beans, Smokey and saucy is the best way to describe them. 2020 may truly suck but the shining star for me has been the BBQ we had at Town Line BBQ. read more

Stopped here on our way to East Hampton. Not being from the area, we didn't know what to expect. Turned out being the best bbq we have had outside of Texas. Definitely get the house made root beer!! read more

The service was beautiful. Ryan behind the bar was great and the drinks came fast. The food was excellent. I got one of the specials!

Townline BBQ is fantastic! The drinks are good, the food is unreal and the sauces are amazing. My compliments to the Chef with the bandana. 5 stars, would give it 6 if I could. read more

This place caught our eye as we drove by, so we decided to check it out. You could smell the smoking meats in the parking lot, which called you into the restaurant. Inside was no frills and clean. Very friendly girl at the counter. I ordered the special, a pulled pork sandwich with cheese sauce and Cole slaw. I also ordered a side of collard greens. My husband ordered wings and a cheese burger. They were out of pork ends, which was disappointing. Along with 2 fountain sodas, it was $65 - pricey! The pulled pork sandwich was delicious, as were the collard greens, although a touch salty. My husband enjoyed his burger, regretted not ordering the double. The BBQ wings were okay. No crunch, soft. A smoky BBQ sauce, but they were bland; something was missing. If you're in the area, off season, it's worth a try. It was busy, so during season months, I'm sure there will be a long wait. There are 2 rooms for inside dining, 1 with a pool table. There is also an outdoor patio for eating with bench style tables. read more

Great BBQ for the price! Pulled pork & brisket sandwiches were generous in size and loaded with tasty coleslaw and pickles. The spicy bbq sauce has just enough zang. The buffalo fries were the best thing I've had in a long time- the sauce is perfectly tangy and the fries are cooked just right. I don't know why other places haven't offered a similar item! Would recommend. read more

After a long week of traveling for work, it was my plan to sit by the pool all weekend. Unfortunately it was not to be. A client called and asked me to look at a property in East Hampton. First off, anyone who knows this area knows traveling to the Hamptons at this time of year is a day trip. Not for the faint of heart. So I obediently perform the task but now it's lunch time. Town Line BBQ is located on Montauk Highway so you can't miss it traveling to or from the Hamptons. It's like most typical BBQ joints. You pick you choices, pay, self serve your soft drink and wait to be called. I had the brisket and ribs. Very good food. Service was more than pleasant, and decor is real southern BBQ restaurant. Here's a bonus. Remember this is the famous Hamptons. You never know what celebrity you may see. For example Jay Z and Beyoncé seem to love coming here on the way to there Hamptons home. Unfortunately they travel with a large entourage so they take up most of the restaurant. It seems that Jay Z loves BBQ, Beyoncé not so much. Anyway if you're on the east end of Long Island, in the Hamptons, don't pass up Townline BBQ. You won't regret it, and you may see a celebrity or two, or me. read more

This place was ok. We ordered a ton of food for a group of us to share. The short ribs were not bad, beef ribs were ok and the brisket sandwich was alright. The Cole slaw was a little runny for me I like it a little thicker and the beans were good. The problem mainly is just nothing comes with flavor. You def get a Smokey flavor but there's nothing else not even salt lol. Idk maybe it's me but this place def has its local favs that come in. But I wasn't loving the place The staff is cool and the set up inside was clean. read more

Passed by TLBBQ on way back from Montauk and decided to stop in. We had seen Doug Geed's East End which featured this venue and food looked great. I am reviewing based on my take out order which exceeded $100.00. Our order consisted of a full rack of ribs, brisket, half chicken, corn bread and cole slaw. Let me preface this with you MUST reheat the ribs, brisket and chicken to get them back to prime shape and taste, otherwise its just meat... I ordered 3/4 lb of juicy brisket and when I unpacked the order at home it was 3 1/4 pkgs of brisket on a piece of bread? Dont know why they did that but the brisket was not juicy at all so I reheated for a short time and it came out better. Ribs were also in need of reheating. They were delish and we used the bbq sauce packed in the order which was really wonderful. chicken was ok but not outstanding. The East End showed fresh juicy brisket, perfectly burnished chicken gut alas thats not what I received. They must have prepared right out of the smoker orders for the show which looked great. Without further picking on the short comings, TLBBQ was really good and best eaten in the venue. We will def stop again to eat inside next trip East. BTW... Hopping bar scene! read more

Loved everything about this place, great food, awesome bartender casual atmosphere. Can't wait to go back and bring my friends

Been coming here off and on over the years - I have to say right now the bbq is on point. For me the sandwiches are the go to - I like the brisket sandwich with mix of moist and lean meat. Corn on the cob is a must. Cole slaw does it for me too. They serve Shiner in bottles - a staple with your meal. Play some pool or darts while you wait - went there a few times this summer - the perfect ending to a beach day when you want to dine in flip flops read more

food is so delicious!! theres not a BBQ place in the hamptons that has better..nice staff. a little pricy but still the best read more

more like 1.5 but the staff was friendly/helpful so rounded up... Let me just preface by saying that we arrived around 430pm and I had been fasting for about 16 hours so I was famished and any half decent food woudl have satisfied me! We ordered the half rack bbq ribs. This is basically dry salt seasoned baked ribs. What made it BBQ is they provide a separate BBQ dippings sauce. Dry dry dry and must be drenched in bbq sauce otherwise it is tasteless. The buffalo chicken wings. The skin is not thorougly cooked so it was thick fatty skin slimy and not crispy. no dipping sauce and blue cheese provide. LIterally zero of the buffalon wing taste. The buffalo fries. Best dish. Crispy shoe string fries with red (buffalo sauce) with crumble cheese topping. this was excellent. The TL burger (single patty) Dry basically burnt patty between 2 buns. McD is a 1000x better. Coleslaw - did not try.. Whoopi pie - basic basic. Hostess is better. Banana pudding - not good. The nila wafers were stale.. I guess different towns have different standards for food. This was a disappointment in my book read more

Not a bad place... if your on east end I would definitely recommend trying the place out.. The two ladies in the front of house were great. They explained the ordering process and recommended certain food. We came in with our 4 children who ordered a variety of items off menu . The two little ones had the grilled cheese with fries. French fries cut from fresh potatoes, always great. Grilled cheese was average. I had brisket sandwich which was good but I wish it was a bigger sandwich. The taste was definitely there! My wife had pulled pork which was good. We ordered a side of pulled chicken which I though was on the dry side. The wings were good, not like the pulled chicken. My son ordered the brisket and it came with 2/3 slices.... good beer selection. Overall the place it good but nothing amazing... one thing these got under my skin is when we walked in the first thing that was said to me from the head chef or owner was " PUT YOUR MASK OVER YOU NOSE".... not a cool Thing to say to someone when they first walk into your restaurant.... it wasn't down on purpose and just happen to go below my nose as I was dealing with the 2 year old... However my rating was based on food and ambiance only.... I understand in these chaotic times that people don't really understand things... anyway the ambiance is great.... a great smoke house vibe with an amazing smoke smell!! read more

NO DOGS ALLOWED! We were planning to sit on the patio with our 14 lb well-behaved lap dog and we were disappointed to find out that TL BBQ has a strict no dogs policy. It was a beautiful day so we decided to take the food "to go" and we made ourselves a picnic in a corner of the parking lot. The BBQ food was outstanding AND reasonably priced, which is so rare in the Hamptons and it's why they get all 5 stars. Usually a BBQ place has EITHER good ribs OR good brisket OR good pulled pork OR good chicken but we were pleasantly surprised to find that all 4 of these smoked meats were outstanding, among the best our family has eaten. The sides and desserts that we ordered were also very good. I'm regretting the fact that I drove past this place for a whole decade before checking it out. Will definitely be coming back here the next time we're in the Hamptons! read more

Can be hit or miss but worth trying your luck. With limited choices out East you might as well give it a go.

Flavorful and finger-licking good BBQ. This place knows how to roast meats! We had the pull pork sandwich, a brisket sandwich and a special (I think rib tips). They were all excellent. Moist and packed with flavor. Don't forget the corn bread and the pickles. Yummy! read more

Had the wings and ribs. Both were very tasty and meaty. Hadn't been here in a while and happy to return!

The best ribs I've had in a long time maybe the best I've ever had. I highly recommend going here. They also have a cute bar in the back. Get the ribs and the pickle's! Service was also fantastic. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in the Hamptons. The pulled pork sandwich is great and their specials are always on point. I'm a sucker for a good slice of corn bread. Place tends to smell pretty smokey and it's annoying leaving and bringing it with you but it's worth it. read more

Cole Slaw is rancid/tastes BAD yet they tell you "it's made fresh...everyone has different taste." Instead they gave us seasoned vegetables - red onion, tomato, basil and feta that was discolored from the vegetables aka NOT FRESH.

Came out here for work and decided to stop for dinner. Boy oh boy was the fatty brisket tender! I've never had an American BBQ brisket that was this juciy. 10/10 would recommend. The wings were OK, definitely needed to season/marinate the wings, sauce was good. The ribs were good for the location, they allow you to get just 2 ribs which is cool. Would definitely come back if I were in the area. read more

A bit disappointing. But what was I expecting from bbq on LI? Portions were kinda small for the price. My combo plate was $16.50. It looked generous. Until you realized that all the pulled pork and pulled chicken was sitting on 2 slices of bread. The pulled pork and pulled chicken were bland. And dry. The sauce had no flavor. The brisket was salty. But moist. The chicken was the best meat. But it was NOZt bbq at all. The corn bread was over cooked, almost burnt, which made it dry. The fried onions was just a fancy name for onion rings. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. You pick up your own food. And then bus your own table. As a result, no need to tip. I would have been a lot happier if my meal cost $12. read more
