Cool, spacious spot with a beer-garden vibe and live country music that makes it a fun place to chill. I got the brisket platter with cornbread, mac and cheese, and potato salad. The brisket was tender with nice fatty bites solid flavor, just could’ve used a bit more tenderness on the non-fatty parts.
The mac was creamy and smooth (not baked-style), and the potato salad had good flavor but wasn’t my favorite. The real standout was the cornbread, buttery, moist, and held together perfectly. Easily the best part of the meal.
Good prices (about $32 for my meal) and solid BBQ sauces to pair with the brisket. Great spot for BBQ, brisket, and live music

The brisket was fabulous. The brisket, pickles and bbq sauce in one bite was so good. Pastrami and ribs weren’t the greatest, but they were fine. The mustard served with the pastrami was really tasty. The only issue was it was NFL Sunday 1pm games and the line at the bar was very long. So we had to go elsewhere for drinks.

Loved it. There’s something for everyone here, as I enjoyed the pulled pork and brisket while the person I was with enjoyed the turkey and ribs. They have a variety of sauces to choose from, and the combo platters actually allow you to try a variety. Lots of space indoors and didn’t feel too crowded, so I’ll definitely be back here!

Here for a party and enjoyed! Really good food. A big fan of the Mac and cheese as well as the arancini. Super big space with plenty of rooms. Outdoor seating too. Seems dog friendly!

I had my wife’s birthday party here and Pig Beach always goes above any beyond. The food was delicious and the staff was just as a good. Even the chef Stephen made a stop by our table! I was starstruck! I wanted to give a special shoutout to a man also named Steven who was very helpful to the overall experience. 10/10 a perfect experience.

Pig beach is very fun to go to with a large group of people. The barbecue is good, and I like how there are a lot of T.V screens spreaded evenly across the place. However, it could get very crowded at times. But I definitely recommend to watch your favorite sports game!

Popped in twice today: once to kill time before a tour up the street, second to grab dinner for the drive home. The hot cocktail I had during the first stop-in was very good. Happy to see some nice selection (unsure how this compares to other NYC choices, but it was nice compared to back home for me). The baked beans were killer, as well as the brisket. Super loud in there at dinner time, which led to us doing takeout vs eat-in.

If you’re a BBQ lover, Brisket King at Pig Beach in Queens is an absolute must! This event is a meat lover’s dream — dozens of chefs, pitmasters, and restaurants serving up their best brisket creations all in one place. From smoky classics to creative bites with global twists, there wasn’t a dull plate in the bunch.
Pig Beach was the perfect venue — spacious, fun, and easy to get to. The vibes were chill but lively, with great music, good drinks, and an excited crowd that clearly came hungry. The lines moved pretty smoothly, and everyone from the staff to the vendors was friendly and hyped about their food (as they should be!).
Favorites of the night? I had a few bites I’m still thinking about — melt-in-your-mouth brisket, spicy sauces, a few fusion dishes I didn’t expect, and even some killer sides like smoked mac and cheese and pickled veggies that balanced everything out.
Whether you’re a brisket connoisseur or just want a fun food event with friends, Brisket King delivers the goods.
Already planning to come back next year!

Pig Beach is a fantastic spot! The space is incredibly spacious and boasts a really cool aesthetic. We arrived right around 5 pm, at opening, and practically had the entire place to ourselves—though it definitely filled up quickly after. We indulged in their beef brisket, wings, mac and cheese, fries, and cornbread, all of which were delicious. They also have a full bar for those wanting a drink. Clean bathrooms and a generally well-equipped space made for a great experience. Highly recommend!

I ordered the Brisket Cheesesteak ($16). The brisket cheesesteak was amazing – combining the brisket with cheese and caramelized onions is a unique taste on the classic cheesesteak. Combined with the bread, this was a great sandwich to eat. However, the BBQ itself was alright. My friend ordered the brisket and pork ribs, but neither one of those compared to BBQ joints in Texas. The mac-n-cheese was also pretty mid. I would recommend getting one of their sandwiches or other entrees here, not the actual BBQ. Outside of food, this place is amazing for watching sport games. They have a huge outdoor dining area with a large screen for watching games. There’s no better vibe than eating good food, drinking beer, and sitting outside in good weather watching football or basketball. Overall, I would recommend this place if you want to go somewhere to watch sports while also enjoying good food.
