    This was good! I'm from NC so my BBQ taste is very, unique. But this wasn't bad. I really enjoyed the prices and the service that we had including the guy who took care of our table. Bald headed guy who was really cool. I recommend this location. Somewhat nosey but the location is nice.

    Came in to The Bearded Pig in Jacksonville looking for some solid BBQ and it ended up being one of the better meals we had on the trip. Right away the place had a great vibe, busy but still comfortable, and you could tell they take their food seriously. Marcus took care of us and his service really stood out. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out right without us having to ask. It's always a plus when the service matches the quality of the food, and he definitely made the experience even better. The brisket sandwich was excellent, full of flavor with that perfect smoky taste and really tender meat. You can tell it's done right. The pulled pork sandwich was just as impressive, juicy and packed with flavor in every bite. Both sandwiches were filling and hit the spot. The mac and cheese was great as well, creamy and rich and paired perfectly with the BBQ. It's one of those sides you don't think much about at first but end up finishing completely. Overall this place delivers on both food and service. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Jacksonville and want some legit BBQ.

    Came here for the first time- was visiting my brother in Jacksonville, and the staff was kind. They have a parking lot so no need to worry about where to park. You order at the register, they give you a table number, and they bring it out to your table. We got the Whole South Bank (and apparently it was the last for the night- we got there around 7:30/8pm). The Whole South Bank came with ribs, chicken, and two other meets of your choice (we got brisket and pulled pork) along with 4 sides. We also got a Cobb salad since it was a travel day for us and we felt we needed some green. They have both indoor and outdoor seating- we chose indoor due to the air quality that day. They do not have a military discount, but food was pretty good.

    Excellent service from the moment we walked in, everyone was friendly, professional, and helpful. The whole place has a great vibe and even when it's crowded we could find a nice spot quickly. The food was fantastic, best bbq we've had in Jacksonville so far, recommend to anyone looking for great bbq near the nightlife/ concert area of Jax.

    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
    Rick P.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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).

    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!

    Sauce selection. All fantastic!!!

    Do they take reservations?

    No. They have a walk up counter to order and then open seating.

    Is this a pet-friendly shop?

    Yes 10000%!! They have a huge open patio that is super pet friendly!

    Does anyone know if The Bearded Pig is open? I've called two days straight(Sun and Mon) with no answer.

    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,… 

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

    Many big screen TV's so I'm guessing yes

    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!

Ordered at the front counter and was greeted by a friendly young lady... good start. I went in planning to get the muffaleta off the specials board. They checked on it, but no luck... they were out of the cuts needed. I was pointed toward the Italian, but my buddy already grabbed that and I felt like being different. Noticed another special on the wall, a smoked brisket sandwich. Can't remember the exact name, but that's what I went with. Instead of chips or their homemade tots, I grabbed the balsamic roasted brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Tables weren't the cleanest and were a little wobbly, but nothing deal-breaking... we made it work. Food came out pretty quick and looked solid. Flavor-wise... a little mixed. The brussel sprouts were very flaky and leafy, almost crumbled apart. You really had to work your fork to get a bite. I was picturing larger roasted halves. Sauce was fine, nothing bad, nothing special. I'd give those a 3 out of 5. The brisket sandwich was interesting. The meat was very fatty and kind of tough to chew through. Not sure if that's just the cut or the prep. I ate about three-quarters of it. It wasn't bad, just didn't hit the way I hoped. Probably still thinking about that muffaleta. Another 3 out of 5. I'd come back, no doubt... but next time I'm sticking with what they're known for. Those cheesesteaks always look great, and that's probably the move. Today was about trying something different, and I'm glad I did... even if it didn't knock my socks off.

There was a decent amount of parking which I was surprised about given the location. The line was to the door when we arrived. The line went pretty quickly, about 5 minutes to get our order taken. I opted for the Hurricane burger, my son opted for a basic cheeseburger with only pickle. We also ordered fries and onion rings for the table. Our food took about 15 minutes, during this time, we saw a tray of fries sitting in the window. We were hoping it was not our order as they would be cold by the time our burgers were completed, however they called us and sure enough it was ours. We touched the fries and they were very cold. We told the employee, who knew the issue and they remade the fries. I'm glad they didn't make an issue about it, but also disappointing because the employees thought it was okay to even serve cold fries. The burgers were fantastic. The hurricane had so much flavor, I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. The onion rings were good and the fries were decent. My son loved his burger and the rest of the family enjoyed their meal. It was a nice lunch and I wouldn't hesitate to return.
