    We sat in their back patio which is a great space to enjoy the nice weather. We chose the two meats with turkey breast and brisket, the chilaquiles, and the sticky ribs. The two meats were good, not great. The turkey breast was drier than I was hoping. I was disappointed by the chilaquiles because no where on the menu did it mention the chips were tossed in BBQ sauce instead of salsa. I would skip this dish next time. The sticky ribs were tasty. Still a fun spot to visit, especially in summertime when you can take advantage of the outdoor space and extensive cocktail list. The churro ice cream sandwich is exceptional - highly recommend.

    The food is fantastic!! Had the rib platter (not the baby back). Was fall off the bone and full of much flavor. One of the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot from all over the county. Don't sleep in the street corn; addictive. Just go

    Great, chill restaurant and, more importantly, DE-LICIOUS BBQ all the way. We stopped by Hamilton Pork on our day trip to Jersey City and, first, loved that it was in a nice, quiet local area - although unbeknownst to us until we drove back home did we realize that it was located just a few blocks from the Holland Tunnel, so even though it was so close to that chaos, it felt like such a local and serene area still. When we strolled in on a beautiful Saturday morning/afternoon at 12pm, we were surprised at how empty the restaurant was. There were only a few people inside on what we thought was going to be a busy day. Maybe they get a lot more crowded in the evening?? We pretty much knew what we were going to order having already given the menu a once over prior to visiting, but, like most BBQ restaurants, they offer meats a la carte or samplers for those wanting a little bit of everything and, well, it was our first time here and, as you would think, we wanted to try EVERYTHING (or at least the good stuff). We ordered the 4 meat sampler for $45, where we got the Fatty Brisket (yes, specify you want fatty if you don't want dry slabs of meat), Pork Belly, Pork Belly Burnt Ends and Pork Ribs. We also got the side sampler, which came with 3 sides where we chose the Mexican Street Corn, Burnt End Beans, Mac & Cheese. Verdict??? Absolutely delicious, grade A BBQ food!! When we bit into the Fatty Brisket, we immediately knew our trip out here was well worth it. It was so tender, juicy, flavorful and, well, FATTY!!!! Soooo dripping good. The Pork Belly and Pork Ribs were the same - absolutely just amazing fatty, flavorful BBQ, The only slight disappointment in our minds were the Pork Belly Burnt Ends. We've had burnt ends in Kansas City before and it was way different than the burnt ends here. The burnt ends were a litttttttle too hard and burnt for our liking here - and possibly too salty too. As for the sides, FANTASTIC and very generous servings - although we did pay $23 for it. The Mexican Street Corn, Burnt End Beans, Mac & Cheese were all great and I would highly recommend. On a few sides notes from the food, yes, it might be challenging for some to find because there isn't much signage outside indicating that its Hamilton BBQ, but there is a BBQ sign on a window and there aren't any other restaurants on the block really so when you spot it, you figure it's Hamilton Pork. Parking could be a challenge on the block, but it's like any other area where you have to find street parking. We parked 2 blocks away, but we did see parking spots closer as we walked, so it wasn't that bad. Exterior and interior were pretty much how you would expect a BBQ restaurant to look - a brick building with booths and picnic table seating inside and a big American flag on the wall. Nothing out of the ordinary for a BBQ restaurant. I don't know how this restaurant is not bustling with customers and overrun by BBQ-vores , but the BBQ was as good as it got and done right. Service was good throughout, but felt a bit awkward with some waiters just hanging around with the lack of foot traffic. Oh, and there's also an outdoor space in the back for those nice days where you want to enjoy your BBQ outside. If you haven't been, go!

    Ohhh my goodness I love this lil spot in Jersey! The array of meats to pick from, the 5 or so different sauces, the drink selection - all of it! I like the ambiance of the outdoor back patio - dim outdoor lighting and no blaring loud music. Food was great!! The meat was so flavorful I didn't even want to put sauce in it and tortillas were super fresh.

    On a sunny Friday afternoon, sipping delicious margaritas and eating smoked meats of all kinds is the best thing you can do with your time. The big backyard here at Hamilton Pork is an excellent place to do it. I was lucky enough to roll with a group of people that wanted to try all the things, so we got a good chunk of the menu to share. The nachos and margaritas are serious winners (which makes me think the tacos are too). I love the pork ribs and the sausage (habanero cheddar!), and the brisket was quite tender and well smoked, but whoever trimmed this one left entirely too much seam fat before they smoked it. One of my slices was basically all fat, and this is coming from someone who usually loves fat (in the right ratio). The sides were a little underwhelming; I liked the Mexican street corn (do they just do all Mexican things well?), but the burnt ends beans and the mac and cheese were a little too soupy, and not quite flavorful enough. That said, I love that they have four different sauces to amp up everything...sauces are the best. The staff was mostly on point, although it took a while to get utensils and water when we asked. To be clear though, I was ecstatic to be here, and I will certainly come back again to try the rest of the menu. I love barbecue more than I love most things in life. And if you're in Jersey City, this is the spot.

    The name is Best Punning Practices 101, fo sho. Now, to the food. I don't know what snobby Southerners would say about the 'cue, and I don't care. They didn't invent grilled meat. I thought the BBQ was on point. We shared the Meat Sampler, choosing the pork belly burnt ends and spare ribs. The burnt ends were particularly noteworthy, being a good balance of juicy and crispy. The spare ribs were well-cooked, but a bit bland. We also got the Mac & Cheese (fantastic), Sauteed Baby Kale (garlicky healthiness), and Cucumber Salad (terrible, drowning in watery mayo). Obviously, skip the cukes unless you're a glutton for punishment. Pro tip: If you sit outside during warm times, make sure you have on mosquito repellent. I was bitten at least 10 times, and the next week was not fun. :(

    The food was delicious and the server very friendly. The food ribs were falling off the bone, just how it's supposed to be. Food came out quickly. We sat outside in the front, which is nice because the restaurant is on a more quiet side street. They allow dogs outside where we sat, but not inside. We brought our doggy and they gave him water, very nice.

    Wanted to go downtown for something to eat with a buddy. He picked Hamilton Pork and I was certainly not mad about it. This place stands out as the rest of the area is full of different cuisines and eateries. The location is great and out of the way. It was a Thursday and wasn't too busy but still had plenty of people inside. Food was solid, we enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the staff. Every month me and my friend John try to go out once and we take during paying. What a great thing friendship is.

    Finally visited Hamilton Pork. I've dined a few times at Hamilton Inn and enjoyed it however Hamilton Pork was a disappointment. My expectations weren't entirely high going in based on the recent google and yelp reviews I read online - most of them which were confirmed to be true based on my own recent experience. Hamilton Pork is around the corner from the Inn; they have a few outdoor picnic tables in the front and a lot more picnic tables w/ umbrellas outside in their backyard/garden area. That day they had the doors/windows all open so even with an indoor table you had an outdoors vibe. We opted to sit in the backyard garden area. We started off with a round of pinche pina margaritas - mine frozen and my fiance's on the rocks. The drinks were good - but way too much crap mixed in which kept on getting stuck in our straws and teeth. For food, we decided on a 3 meat sampler plater w/ brisket, pork ribs and pork belly and two sides - the Mexican corn and the sweet mash (based on yelp reviews). It took a while for our food to come and when it finally did, we realized we never were brought silverware or plates. The waiter was in no hurry to get us them - it felt like it took a few more minutes before he came back and we could actually start eating. All of the food was cold/luke warm. All of the food was average, at best. Two pork ribs was a puny portion for the cost. The pork belly was deep fried and inedible - another waste of money. It was so salty, hard and stringy and of course that was the biggest portion on the plate. They should really update their menu and specify that the pork belly is deep fried as opposed to barbecued or smoked. The Mexican corn and brisket were fine. The sweet mash was so cold and just nothing special. It's also pretty stingy they charge you a dollar for a piece of Texas toast to go along with a nearly $40 meat sampler. All in all, it was an overpriced mediocre BBQ meal which seems to be the trend around this area. I have no need to return here again.

    A surprisingly short ride from lower Manhattan and located in a beautiful neighborhood, Hamilton Pork is worth the trip. The food is flavorful and fresh, and the atmosphere is laidback. After my first visit a couple months ago, I couldn't find a place that can match the flavor of the giant beef rib. The meat is tender, juicy and just insanely delicious. The beer is always perfection and the red sangria is the perfect summer drink to pair with some red meat. The Mexican street corn was sweet. The chips and salsa were good. My biggest regret was not saving enough room for the Churro ice cream sandwich. Filled with dulce de leche ice cream, this sweet treat is simply delightful; I highly recommend it. The service is great! Our server was friendly and prompt with everything. The timing from the kitchen made our courses spaced out just right. Hamilton Pork, we will be back soon!

It was a full afternoon of food and drinks, and the kind of event where a lot of moving pieces have to come together for it to actually work. JP was the reason it worked. What stood out most wasn't the drinks. It was the kids. There were a lot of them, running around, excited, in the middle of everything. JP knew every single one of them by name before the afternoon was half over. Not in a performative way. He just made a point to learn who they were and made them feel like they belonged there as much as anyone else. He was checking in on them, getting them what they needed, keeping them engaged. Parents noticed. Everyone noticed. Beyond the kids, he was everywhere. Anticipating what people needed before they asked. Moving fast without ever seeming rushed. Making sure nobody was waiting, nobody was forgotten, and everybody was having a good time. The food, the drinks, the whole flow of the afternoon, it all ran smoothly because JP was paying attention to all of it. My sister-in-law's celebration was exactly what it was supposed to be. A big part of that is JP. If you are booking an event here, request him specifically. You will not regret it.​​​​​​​​​​​​

From the entrance, we joined the line to place our order. Menus posted on the wall. Music playing. Bar area, self-serve water dispenser, utensils/napkins, to-go containers (which we did need) are in this area. One of two dining areas is in the same room. Longer tables, some communal, are in the next room, where we sat. Temp that day was in the 90s, was ok indoors but still could use ceiling fan/s like in the first room. Restrooms available. Meats are priced by 1/2 lb. Carved and weighed at the front counter. Ordered everything else and paid there too. Most of the food was prepped as we ordered so able to take a whole tray already. So be ready for a bit of wait on the line but not in getting the food. Got a number and someone brought our jerk rib tips, which were made-to-order. Our favorite was the brisket - very tender with some fatty parts. Pulled pork was slightly sweet, was ok. I wasn't into the Jerk rib tips' flavor by itself, but was better with ranch dressing it came with. Meats were not so salty which was great. Can add the bbq sauces if wanted. Fritos pie was just a small bag of chips with toppings and was overall a bit salty for me. At least we got to taste their chili. For sides: Large size is not that large but ok for sharing if getting a few sides. We liked the vinegary mashed potato salad and mac and cheese. My family found the collard greens bitter but I liked them. Honey cornbread $7/square was sweet on the top. Want to try other things on the menu so for next time. Take Bus 61 at Boerum Pl/Joralemon St. to Van Brundt St/Beard St stop (bus is accessible from a few subway lines).
