Outstanding food. We got the Cowboy Caviar as an appetizer; this is baked beans with bits of ALL the amazing meats they cook. The flavor is smoky and rich, and they were possibly some of the best baked beans I have ever eaten. I also had a pulled pork and mac and cheese sandwich, which was also excellent. There is seating both indoors and out, with a bar outside and a beautiful view of the lake. You can walk straight out to the sandy beach from the back patio. Atmosphere is fun and chill. It's a really great place to doend a summer evening. We watched the sunset from our table. There was a large event when I visited so the wait for food was pretty long, but it was worth waiting for. The servers were super nice, good drinks, good vibes. This pitmaster knows what they're doing! (If you want brisket, go early before it sells out) read more

I am a huge brisket person. If someone yells brisket. I come running. And this place is no different. The sandwich was delicious. And I knew by the name in the door. That the bbq would be amazing. And it sure was. I sat outside and was greeted with a smile. I was informed of things in the menu. But honestly. My mind was made up before I got seated. The housemaid chips tasted great. read more

Oh wow blown AWAY by these fresh hot corn fritters with corn straight from the cob! So crispy and delicious BEFORE the provided honey! Very nice ambiance, outside either shade or sun, and inside nice and cool! The outside bar is pretty sweet too. Service is awesome, they put their heart into it! be mindful they get busy, are seasonal, and not exactly in a city with a huge pool of restaurant workers who can get here easily regularly read more

When Pigs Fly BBQ Pit - Corn fritters to die for plus honey Sorry we already enjoyed 75% of it!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Westfield, New York

Waited 20 minutes until drinks came...the appetizers and food came at once...ribs were very dry..cornbread was in pieces...like crumbles...also very dry...place only had about 1/3 full of guests Has gone downhill since our last visit last year. Disappointed read more

Food was mediocre at best. The BBQ sauce was terrible and didn't pair well with the food it was put on - especially the fries. There was no one in the building when we walked in and no signs saying to walk outside and around back to be served. It's hot af outside and that's the only place to be sat. read more

Very poor service when it wasn't even busy... out of what we came for , also no corn on the cob as of yet, which is understandable but usually we are offered a different side to make up for no corn on the cob... not this time... no drink refills at all. Very disappointed. I did see building/ business is for sale currently so maybe better management will take over. Usually we love this place and the food is amazing! Disappointing for sure. Not sure if we will return . read more

The food was horrible. It arrived at barely room temperature. The brisket is advertised as smoked, but it was tough with no smoke flavor and no visible smoke ring. The smoked chicken was flavorless, dry, and mushy. We tried adding BBQ sauce, but it was watered down and also flavorless. The mac 'n cheese was bland and greasy with no cheese flavor. Even the cherry coke was flavorless and watered down. Yes, it has a nice view but that's all it has to offer. read more

Loved it. Came with friends on our motorcycles and the food was very good. Service was quick and the vibe was very casual. We sat outside at a table with an umbrella for shade. It was nice. I can't wait to go back. read more

We've been here a few times over the years. Atmosphere is good, nice spot on the beach. Servers are always friendly. However, went here today (Sunday afternoon) with our 4 kids, it wasn't busy. We were seated quickly and ordered as soon as we had the opportunity. We received our side salads, maybe 25 minutes after being seated, then after an hour and seeing people received their food who arrived after us, we were done waiting. My husband informed the waitress (she was nice, it obviously wasn't her fault) that we'd just like to leave. So they charged us for our side salads (that were supposed to be part of the meals we never received) and left. Won't be going back. Wouldn't recommend for families that actually want to feed their kids, if you're just going there to drink probably not a problem ‍ read more

Don't usually write reviews but When Pigs Fly was very Disappointing - Ribs were very dry jerky like- BBQ salad was just microwaved chicken on a salad with cold fires. Service was slow but server was kind. read more

Everyone is nice, great friendly ambiance, great lake views. The food ranged from good BBQ to best ever. We drive from PA to go there. Something fun; I am Mary Beth, mother is Joyce, sister is Margaret, so coincidentally we have 2 desserts and a smoker named after us! read more

I have been here many times before and it only got worse. We already know that the wait is long so when we came here we expected it. We like to come because the views and direct access to the lake so it's perfect for kids! However the nice waitress with the tattoos on her face I wish her the best and hope she can find new job. She has served us many times and always tells us how sorry she is how under staffed they are how she hasn't had a break how she hasn't had a day off etc....on the verge on tears and always sweating from her hustle. We had a new server i cant think of her name. She mentioned how she wanted to cry too how bad the owner how he cut everybody's shift and it's only (1) 16 year old kid as the cook. Long story short we sat waited about 15 mins for drinks to order waited another 15-20 to get them. Then placed our food and another drink order and waited another 20 mins for another round. Then we waited over 2+ hours from that point for food. We got there at 6~ and food wasn't out till 8:15. The food was cold, missing items, dry, and not even all out. We tried talking to the owner he said i don't have time for this your tab is covered not even trying to help. So as we are still waiting for food I walk in side they don't see me standing there the waitress comes out with a tray off food she tells the owner this is the rest of that tables food the owner is cussing and mumbled things about us the waitress looks at me dead in the eyes and was like OMG I am so sorry. At that point I was so upset. The waitress got us to go boxes to be honest we didn't even want the food but we packed it to not waste it and we left. I left her a $20 tip because I felt so bad. We didn't even eat dinner because by the time we left around 8:30~ everything was closing. Moral of the story the place has SO much potential. The food is almost decent, the workers need to be better treated, more staff and a better outlook from the owner. After him using profanity in front of us and the way we were directly treated by him we will not be going back there. It's honestly embarrassing it's a small town we will give our business and loyalty somewhere else. read more

Gave it 2 stars for the cornbread and fish. Otherwise the BBQ was bland, fries tasted stale, chef salad didn't include the ingredients listed on the menu and instead consisted mostly of pulled pork, and the sides on our to go order were wrong. read more

Worst experience I've ever had a at a restaurant, 2 hour wait from the time we ordered our food to the time it showed up, when the food got there it wasn't even a quarter of what we ordered and it was cold. 15-20 min wait for drink refills. Tried to talked to the owner about it and he said "I don't f-ing care". We were here for my wife's birthday. I've never seen such disrespectful behavior from restaurant staff in my life. I will never be coming back here, I will be going out of my way to let people know to never eat here! read more

Was hesitant to try this place after reading the reviews. Glad we ended up here. Had the ribs and brisket. Both were very good. Nice smoke ring in both, along with being tender. The ribs came right off the bone and had nice flavor. The brisket tasted great. Was juicy and tender. The BBQ sauce was very good. The sides are very generous. The cowboy caviar was . Friend had same as me a said he loved everything. Wives had wraps. They were big and very good. Only complaints are cornbread and service. Cornbread was very dry and crumbled into crumbs. Couldn't/wouldn't eat it. There was only 1 waitress (that's on management) but she busted her ass and did a great job. read more

I'll give one star for the Mac and cheese and one star for the server. But the food was disgusting. Everything dry and overcooked, no flavor. Save your money and go somewhere else read more

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, my bacon Bloody Mary was nice and spicy, loved it. We enjoyed the corn fritters for an appetizer, and my father enjoyed his fried fish. The pulled pork was terrible, the coleslaw was not great (cabbage and sour cream?), corn bread didn't even look like yesterdays. Was offered a replacement meat after I didn't eat the pork, and chose the kielbasa link. I was hoping for a smoked link. The sausage was sliced, spiced, and seared on a flat top. All the dude wanted was a sausage link to replace the disappointing pulled pork. The sign outside tells me when I'll be back again. When Pigs Fly. Love the fish place next door!! read more

I did not want to believe the reviews...but they were true. Ribs were sooooo overdone that the bones had partially disintegrated... you couldn't avoid eating bone when you took a bite. Fries were not fresh at all... kind of like the frozen kind you throw into the oven. Cornbread was decent. It's such a shame. You could really do something with that place because of its location if you just had the right cook with a good menu. Hopefully they will learn. Until then... don't bother... not worth trying. read more

Server was great. The food was awful. It's like boiled or soaked meats that are flash smoked/seared and then have seasoning added. Being from Texas it's actually a little hurtful and amusing that someone would add our state name to their restaurant when you can't even smell bbq walking up to it. The scenery is nice outside and you can walk to their rocky beach(wear shoes not sandals). I'd come here again for drinks but def not the food unless everything else was closed which happens in these small towns. read more

Awesome and 100% Service by Marissa, .First time to try their pork Ribs, and this is one of the best pork ribs I've ever had , the price is absolutely great ,in terms of the amount of food that you will be getting and ofcourse with delicious flavor :) Highly recommended to try this, stop by to experience what I'm saying on this review!! Two thumbs up!! read more

Why isn't there a menu on your website? Cant really see the Menus here on yelp for the prices. $18 for a sandwich with no side, $3 more for a fixing no thank you! I understand prices have come up but wow for $18 at least throw us a bone and add a side. read more

Went here with my brother and his girlfriend. The food was disgusting! We ordered bbq nachos and shredded pork tacos. The tacos came out very very greasy with a very oily taste . Oil dripped everywhere. Why so oily ? Is it grease from the pork or what ? We didn't have a clue . Both myself and my brother could not finish it because of how bad it tasted . We didn't even want to take it home . Just took the hit and said never again. The bbq pork nachos was soggy too. Some bites was good others was messy and wet which made the chips soft/wet . No crunch . The ambiance inside was ok nothing special. The outside looks better than the inside . We did like the view of Lake Erie as we were seated by the window looking out . The service was alright, nothing to brag about . Our waitress looked overwhelmed but she was prompt. Only reason I gave them a 2 star . View and waitress was only reason I didn't give them the 1 star. Sad part is this place has so much potential to be a diamond . There's not many restaurants around the area . They seriously have a gold mine if they had tastier and consistent food and remodeled the inside . They got a million dollar view if they just stepped up there game some . Just saying ! Needless to say , we won't be back . read more

My family and I were passing through New York on our way home from vacation. We had been driving for hours, not having eaten a thing. One of the locals recommended this place when we stopped off to check out a winery. Let me start by saying that you want to come here with a very large appetite. The portion sizes are huge, guaranteeing that you will definitely get your money's worth. You'll also enjoy a relaxing lakeside view while you dine. I ordered the Que for 2 meal, which came with your choice of two meats (I had the pulled chicken and pulled porm), along with your choice of two sides. For my sides, I had the potato salad and baked beans. Oh, and did I mention that this dinner also came with TWO pieces of cornbread and TWO ears of corn? Needless to say, I over ordered what my stomach could handle, but it was worth it! Everything was delicious, though the potato salad was a little disappointing. It was good, but a little bland for my taste. My only regret is that we did not leave room for dessert. (Heck, I couldn't even finish my dinner.) The next time we're in town, the hubby and I plan to share a meal so that we can have dessert too. If you're not into BBQ, that's OK. The menu boasts some tasty sandwich and appetizer options too. So what are you waiting for? Stop in for a bite to eat. read more

What happened to this place???!!! The service was awful. We just had the craziest experience. (8/22/21) The waitress and staff were in the middle of cleaning up "a real mess" in the men's bathroom!! They were all talking about it across the restaurant in front of all the customers. Discussing whether or not they should be using a shop vac or something else. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? Absolutely disgusting. The manager came over and not only didn't apologize, but blamed the situation on the city and their poor sewage system. He also blamed the lack of local public bathrooms on the current unsanitary conditions of his own restaurant Clueless!! Totally clueless. Let me also say it was impossible to know who was actually cleaning the issue? Was it the cook? Was it the waitresses? Beyond disgusting! The food was awful. My wife had a salad with fries on it (BBQ Chop chop salad).... The fries were dripping grease and the chicken or meat substance that was on it was beyond awful. The waitress was beyond strange. Out of the blue, told my daughter (10) that you don't get sick if you drink Windex. We thought we were getting punk'd. Stay away from this place. Please do not eat here. This restaurant used to be a good place to eat in Westfield. New owners or something. Stay away!!! read more

I'll admit, I don't know that we got the full atmosphere from our visit - since we were the only ones in the whole place... but I like what I saw! This place seems like it would be a great time in the peak of summer. Sand volleyball courts, lots of outdoor seating, beach access, and an outdoor bar compliments the indoor bar area and 50-some tables inside. The waiter was super friendly and after serving our drinks told us to feel free to take them to walk down to the beach and check it out. We ordered the friend bacon mac & cheese - diet went out the window, and they were good! That and a side of cornbread was all we could eat since both portions were huge. We heard from other travelers that they ordered the tray meal and it was huge! So the moral of this place seems to be come hungry and ready to have a good time! read more

Bad: Brisket was way too fatty, mac and cheese lacked flavor, ribs were dry, and there was only on type of barbecue sauce Good: Pulled pork was flavorful, fries were hot and fresh read more

First time here. We've always wanted to eat here when visiting the area, but haven't had the opportunity. We were in the mood for fish frys. While it was good, it isn't as large a portion as we normally get ANYWHERE else, which was slightly disappointing. Also, we would have loved a lemon wedge or two with our fish. With that said, we loved the fact that we could choose our own 2 sides. Normal with a fish fry you get fried and coleslaw. We chose the handmade fries and a side of the cowboy caviar(baked beans with smoked meat and hotdogs). The baked beans was a gigantic portion and very delicious, as were the fries. They have several sides to choose from. We did takeout. They included several containers of ketchup, tartar sauce and added plasticware which included napkins, salt and pepper. We were very pleased and will visit next time we're in the area. read more

Has gone down hill. The chicken on my salad was cold, dry and flavorless. My son's burger still had the paper on it from the freezer (didn't notice until we got home! But at least that explained why he barely touched it at the restaurant...) read more

Ordered a shredded brisket sandwich for $16.00. Lots of slaw, very little meat. My husband and I shared the sandwich and my half had very little meat. read more

Great location! Beautiful view! Excellent, friendly staff! Unbelievable pickle! Unique cole slaw. Good LOOKING onion rings were overcooked and tasted like bad oil. Pulled chicken sandwich was ok. Chips were stale. Meager portion of brisket. Sauce looked and tasted like it came from a supermarket squeeze bottle. Fries were soggy and greasy. ONE slice of brisket was EXCELLENT. The other two slices were terrible. Tough and chewy. I've never eaten shoe leather, but you could re-sole your boots with...well..no...you couldn't, because they were so tiny. "50-50" Yep. Fifty bucks for 50% inedible food. read more

They have a decent menu with lots to choose from it was hard to decide. The waitress seemed in a rush so we put some appetizers in and had a few questions about the menu which she seemed annoyed with. It was a long time before the apps came out and the restaurant wasn't that busy. When they did come out the nachos were pilled high with toppings and the wings were huge but served with ranch not blue cheese like we are used to in Buffalo. Then we placed our orders and waited again a long time for the meals to come out while other people seemed to be getting their food more quickly. When it came the burger was over cooked and the fries were cold. We didn't have time for dessert, but looked like they had a few options. Not sure it would be worth it to come back with the service we received and the food being just ok. read more

Great location, even better food and the BEST service. Highly recommend. Loved the BBQ sauce on the table. read more

Ok here's the deal. Location - excellent, wait staff- Excellent. Food? HORRIBLE. Awful, dried out just nasty. Zero flavor. How can you ruin potato salad?? Everything and we had four different meats including ribs was horrifically dried and awful. Just awful. Don't even bother until they learn that dry rub doesn't mean dry meat. Sorry. This makes applesbees ribs look and taste gourmet. Just no. Go across the street to jacks drive in. It looks good but taste, texture and flavor are nonexistent. This is not worth it. read more

My second visit to this restaurant and it was better that the last which is hard to believe. Server was so friendly! Food came out fast and hot. Smoked turkey is one of my favorites and my partner had the brisket. The server gladly brought us the spicy bbq sauce which was so good with both meats. Child's portions were large and included drink and hot fudge sundae at the end. Portions for 'Cue for Two were large and we added an extra side. Still took food home for the next day. Can't wait to come back read more

I didnt get a chance to eat here in person. But i was in the area for work and a coworker brought in some bbq from here. It was amazing. Ive thought about driving the 6 hours from my home just to eat here again lol. read more

Service was excellent . The pulled chicken was dry and salty . Had to smother it in BBQ sauce Portion size was average. The beans were ok but way too much, Not the best BBQ. read more

We love taking the short, scenic drive from Erie to When Pigs Fly. Such a wonderful, direct lakefront setting where you can walk on the beach & catch the sunset. Pet-friendly, they welcomed our dog with a water dish and could not have been nicer. Lots of great food options, cold beer, spacious, outdoor distancing & all staff wearing masks. Always a positive experience! read more

This is the best kept secret!! The view and food were really good! The wontons were delicious and the added duck sauce was a nice add-on!

The service and owner were very personable...we will be back! read more

Honestly I have zero complaints! We had the Que for two and tried four different meats between the two of us and ALL were delicious. In addition the fries, sweet fries, and Mac and cheese were excellent. Our waitress was wonderful and lead us to some excellent choices. Can't wait to come back! read more

A pleasant surprise at the end of a road. With suggestions from the cook we ordered the turkey and brisket -- they were excellent! Our waitress Shenley was informative, attentive and friendly.
