The Bearded Pig - Bearded poutine and Brussel sprouts - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We haven't had BBQ this good in quite awhile. The day was perfect so we sat on the shaded porch. Our poutine and food arrived at the same time so we moved our huge tray of food so we could eat that poutine. Love at first bite. The combination of brisket, fries, cheese sauce and pimento cheese was outstanding. We added some of the sweet BBQ sauce. My favorite meat on the platter was the sausage. We had the BBQ beans and the seasonal side of Brussels sprouts. Let me assure you we took half of this meal home. Our guilty pleasure was the banana pudding. Great place with friendly people and staff that keep the place looking good. read more

One of the best bbq spots in Jax!! Cannot go wrong here. If you want burnt ends go early they are simply the best. Brisket juicy, pork tender, really you cannot go wrong with anything here. Will always be my go to bbq spot! read more

4 of us for dinner tonight. I had the Cobb salad with smoked turkey. Nice portion of turkey and very tasty. The other 3 split the Whole south bank platter which had brisket, pulled pork , ribs and chicken. Sides were beans , Mac and cheese , slaw and French fries. Plenty of food and leftovers to take home. Order at counter and food arrived very quickly. The place was crowded and there was plenty of seating. Great place for bbq! read more

Early supper is better but if you're flexible and like multiple things you'll survive a late night craving. Their food is so good and the best stuff will run out. The Mac and cheese, collard greens, and potato salad are out of this world and those are just side items. My brisket was worthy of the great state of TX. Staff super helpful and knowledgeable for first timers like I was. Can't wait go back. read more

Solid spot! Came in for a lunch one day and had the turkey sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. The turkey was well cooked and the arrangement of sauces to put on my sandwich was great! Service was prompt, and it was a beautiful day so the indoor/outdoor feel was perfect. Could definitely be a fun place to watch a football game in the future read more

We came on a Thursday night and there was still quite a few people here enjoying the restaurant. We order the San Marco BBQ Platter. It offered a solid variety of smoked meats and Southern sides, though it wasn't without its flaws. The ribs and brisket were tender and packed with smoky flavor, easily the highlights of the meal. The turkey and chicken were moist but underseasoned; however, the restaurant's nice selection of sauces helped bring these milder options to life. The sweet potato fries were crispy and delicious, but the collard greens were overly salty and could use better balance. The biggest letdown was the "roll," which turned out to be a plain hamburger bun--not quite what you'd expect for a BBQ platter. The ambience made up for some of the food's shortcomings. The restaurant had a trendy, hip vibe with a true Southern feel, and the friendly security staff added to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it's a good place to enjoy BBQ with great sauces and a vibrant setting, even if some menu items could use a little improvement. Overall, it scratches that BBQ itch. read more

Excellent stop for lunch ... burnt ends were fantastic. Owner is there often and is very friendly ... gotta be good because it was packed. I'll definitely go back. Inside/Outside seating and a friendly bar. A good selection of beers, too. Put it on your list for lunch and/or Happy Hour. read more

I got the brisket, Mac and cheese and slaw. My food was delicious besides the slaw but I think it's just not my type of slaw. They did tell me the slaw was vinegar based (which I don't normally eat) but I wanted to give it a shot! However, my husband got the ribs and wings and they weren't great. The seasoning was good on the ribs but they were not tender at all. The wings were a bit overcooked. Overall my food was great but my husband's was not. Hit or miss depending on what you get. The staff was amazing. Kind, upbeat, and attentive. read more

Customer service is what stands out to me first about The Bearded Pig! I loved how the cashier asked what cut of brisket I preferred (Fatty, Lean, In the Middle) and that alone warranted a review. Also, being a visitor in town I loved how the bartender was more than helpful to suggest some good local hangs, bars, food to enjoy while we were in town. BBQ is close to my heart and JAX is even closer. Thanks for keeping up the good reputation and try the Brisket read more

Counter service, excellent. Initial Food Delivery excellent. Food: smoked wings and the sweet beans were delicious but the dijon/vinegary potato salad was too tangy and the potatoes a bit too solid. Service???? Sadly, after the food came I sat 30-40 minutes eating and not one person attended to my table even once until I flagged the server down. Only 3 tables in my area had guests, mine was one of them. It was not a busy evening (Tuesday night) and most tables were empty so why would she not attend to me as I had watched her attend to the two other tables just feet away from me???? Sad! I watched the server assigned to my area pass by 6 times and she intentionally only attended to two tables, a table with one male and a table of 4 males. Note, both tables were seated after me. They got food and she returned twice to each of the other tables asking those diners if they were done and if she could help take their trays. Not once did she look my direction nor come to check on me even though I was seated just 6 feet from the table with one diner and seated only 8 feet away from the table with 4 diners. Instead of checking on me after them, since I was 6 to 8 steps away, she turned and left and instead went to check on the diners on the patio or started taxiing utensils and other things to the kitchen. Why not also check the ONE THE OTHER GUEST seated in plain sight at a table in your area?? Sad!! At first I thought I was being too sensitive so tried to ignore it and I focused on enjoying my meal. Silly me still believed eventually she would get around to checking on my table or would at least ask if I was done and if she could take my tray just as she repeatedly asked the diners at the two other tables. Nope!!! 10 minutes later, she still had not come by once!! I had waited long enough already so I waved to flag her down so I could ask for to-go containers. She brought containers and 'the bad taste she left in my mouth lingered.' I thought, 'Why was she acting like that, and why just with me? As I passed her on my way out, her disingenuous "Have a nice night," was disingenuous and annoying as obviously, she had ZERO concern about me having a night while in her area over the last hour! Respectfully, I said 'Thank You' still but I knew that that would be my last time I ate there. There are too many great places in town to eat where staff offer SELECTIVE customer service. The best servers know how to treat guests like guests. Sadly, the server working the inside tables opposite of the bar area gets an F+ in customer service on tonight. I'm sorry 4/21. There's No Excuse for a Server ignoring a guest 30-40minutes who's patronizing your workplace. Ignoring guests will get your restaurant bad reviews. Maybe management will address the server's behavior. NC read more

The food doesn't look like it tastes...in the nicest way possible. The slaw looks dry, but it's not! It's one of the best slaws I've ever had. The mac n' cheese looks unseasoned. But it's so rich and creamy! The BBQ itself is also delicious. The patio is dog friendly, and the service was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place is amazing! We ordered the brisket sandwich's with Cole Slaw, Collard Greens, and fries. The sandwiches were amazing, they came dry and you add the sauce. Each table had several bottles of different BBQ sauces you could choose from! The slaw had a vinegar dressing and had Brussel sprouts; it was great! Loved the fries and collard greens. Can't wait to go back! read more

The food was delicious, and given this is why you go to a restaurant, it's important to state that upfront. The setting is nice, as well. This is a place you order at the counter and they bring you the food; it is pretty much self service after that. They staff will check on you, but you dump your stuff when done. I don't say that as a knock (and if that is what I need to do for good food, so be it) but so people will know that going in. If you want a waiter/waitress to seat you and take your order, this is not it--but, you will also miss out on some great BBQ. All the staff were friendly and pleasant, though! Will definitely be back. read more

This place specializes in smoked Barbecue. The food is Fantastic!! The meat is juicy and full of taste. The smoked wings are large with crispy skin and juicy meat.

The Bearded Pig - Excellent brisket sandwich and the baked beans were amazing. - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We were heading to a Yelp event today that was north of this location so we decided to stop and have lunch here beforehand. It was a great decision. They open at 11 for lunch and people started lining up even before that time. It is a fast casual type restaurant where you order at the counter and they give you a number so someone can bring your food out to you. There is plenty of parking but by the time we left the lot was completely full. The restaurant has plenty of indoor, outdoor and bar seating. The menu has sandwiches, salads, and meat platters, along with plenty of sides. I had the Kings sandwich. It has brisket, pork, and sausage along with peppers, slaw and cheese sauce. It was delicious. For my side I had the collard greens at the recommendation of the cashier and they also tasted great. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich and mac and cheese. That side was good, not great. read more

I was looking for a really good fast casual barbecue place in Jacksonville - The Bearded Pig is good, but there are a couple of areas that are less than exceptional. When we first arrived, the staff was extremely friendly, and effiicient - The staff gets a five star review. Our order was taken quickly, and we chose to sit inside. The benches and seats inside are not well cushioned, so they lack a bit of comfort. There's good music, bar seating available, and a large outdoor patio. I got the pulled pork sandwich and mac and cheese. The pulled pork sandwich was tasty, although it arrived warm, not quite hot. The mac and cheese is a bit of a disappointment, missing panko bread crumbs or baking, or anything unique...It's just macaroni and cheese mixed with a little bit of black pepper. Pricing is reasonable, averaging just under $20 per person all in including tax and tip. This would be a good spot to go periodically, but no place to go out of your way for (sorry to in my sentence with a preposition). read more

We were in the San Marco area on a Wednesday so we decided to stop in at The Bearded Pig. It was hopping! Families with children seemed to make up the majority of the folks enjoying their lunch. We ordered some Burnt Ends, some Chicken Wings, a Side Salad and some Mac & Cheese. Everything was delicious and the flavor on the Burnt Ends was fab! read more

2nd trip and it's better than the first and it was good then! The ribs were even better!! I just got the 1/3 slab and it was enough. The French fries are fresh and are pretty good also. The ribs have a great bite and are meaty! This is my go2barbq spot here- hands down!!! read more

This place is exactly what you would expect. Good bbq, friendly staff and a community place. The inside and outside is family friendly. The prices of the food are worth the quality and amount you get. I would definitely recommend as they make their own sauces and being from CA and lived in the MIDWEST this BBQ can compete! read more

Such a great location! You can sit at the bar ,grab a drink then get your to go order in no time . They always give plenty of sauce. The wait is never long .. Carley the bartender Sunday was phenomenal. Attentive,friendly,just top notch !! Marcus you rock .. read more

The Bearded Pig - Salty Pig - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The service was great. Ambiance was family friendly & the patio is super cute. The food though... flavorless & cold. We ordered the "San Marco" Platter, it came out really quick. Seems as if all of our items were chilling under a heat rack before served. Nothing was hot & not a single darn thing had flavor! Very disappointed in my experience & I would not recommend if you have working taste buds read more

Amazing food with great service but stay packed so get there early if you can. The parking is in the back if you go downtown off San Marco but enjoy some good BBQ. read more

Went to The Bearded Pig for dinner and it did not disappoint! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries, and everything hit the spot. The pork was tender and juicy, and the fries were crispy. I also tried the ranch water, it was super refreshing and a great pairing with the meal. Solid spot if you're craving good BBQ and chill vibes. read more

The Bearded Pig serves some of the best BBQ in Jacksonville. The brisket is tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, and bacon-wrapped jalapeños are a must-try. Friendly service, generous portions, and a casual, family-friendly vibe with indoor/outdoor seating make it a great spot to relax. If you're in Jacksonville, don't miss their brisket--it's a game changer! Great Job! read more

This is a spot you can't miss if you'rein the area. Incredible brisket. WOW! I sat at the bar, like I typically do when I'm traveling alone for work. The bartenders were fantastic. I happened to get there with 15 mins left in the happy hour and took advantage of one of their "pig tail" cocktails for $5. It was excellent. My son and his girlfriend loved the brisket when they visited so I had to try it. It was delicious. I also got several sides so I could sample as many as I could (they were only $4/each, so very reasonable). I had the brisket sandwich with a side of collard greens, baked beans, Mac n cheese, and pimento cheese grits. I ate almost everything, with the exception of the grits. There was just too much food, but it was all delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The service is friendly and the restaurant has a lot of seating, both inside and out. Also has a bar inside and out as well. I loved it. read more

Love this spot! The casual vibe paired with great barbecue is perfect for a lunch with friends, chill date night, or party with friends. I love their outside space! I loved the Pig Punch ($8) for a drink, super sweet and coconut-y. My boyfriend and I shared the San Marco Platter ($34) and I was amazed with the amount of food we got for the price! It comes with 1/4 rack of ribs, 1/4 chicken (you get to choose light or dark meat), 1/4 lb of two more meats of your choice - we chose brisket, (which they let you choose how fatty or lean you wanted it) and pulled pork. It also comes with 2 sides, so we did the regular fries and mac and cheese. We also got the sandwich roll (free with the platter if requested) on the side. The platter was SO GOOD. Every single meat was perfect, but I especially loved the ribs and the brisket. The pulled pork on the sandwich roll with some BBQ sauce was soooo good too. And the mac and cheese.....amazing!!! They have five different types of BBQ sauces as well, so you can try them all to find your favorite! The service was also great, from those at the front taking orders to those swapping out sauce bottles for fuller ones. I would absolutely come back to The Bearded Pig!!! read more

A great option for low carb diets, but they also have plenty of choices for everyone. Ordering at the counter is easy and your food is brought to your table. Fountain drinks are self-serve which makes refills easy. Seating options inside and out, with fans and shading outside. There is also bar seating inside and outside. We sat at an inside table since it was already hot outside. We love the jalapeño poppers, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in crispy bacon. Rather than get a salad with meat, I prefer the side salad and ordering a separate 1/4 lb. of meat. I opted for brisket today, the choice is lean, fatty, or mixed and I chose the mixed today. I personally love the side of dill pickles and onions, since my husband doesn't, I enjoy twice as much. My husband enjoyed his own order of jalapeño poppers, a pulled pork sandwich and fries. There was a decent crowd when we arrived before noon, but was really getting crowded by the time we left. read more

Solid, solid bbq, definitely gets the job done when it comes to getting your bbq fix. A lot of people here recommend the brisket, in my mind, you go to Texas to get brisket, but it was pretty good. The collard greens are pretty good, has a lemony zest kick to it, but solid overall. I didn't get the Mac n cheese, although it looks amazing, needed up getting the fries which were nice and crispy. Recommend giving this place a shot! read more

Came here for lunch and ordered the Kings Sandwich plus a Mac n cheese side($15), it had brisket, pork, sausage, jalapeño popper, and cheese sauce. The jalapeño popper was wrapped in bacon and had cream cheese inside. I really enjoyed the sausage and poppers the most in the sandwich. The brisket was seasoned well, but it did feel a bit dry. But overall an excellent sandwich at a great price with a variety of meats to try. Staff was friendly and food came out in a reasonable time. Overall a good BBQ place to try!

Disclaimer: Please forgive my picture taking skills, I lack that skill lol. With this place though I had to try! Omfg!!! I've done quite a few "hands down" sort of reviews, but I really truly God almighty have to say this is HANDS DOWN the best damn freaking barbecue I have ever put in my damn mouth! Jeez louise jiminy effin cricket!!! The ratings do not lie! Fucking awesome! :) We are here in Florida for business and my partner wanted to try Whataburger for lunch. I, of course, had to open up Yelp and see if there were better options. And lo and behold I see the Bearded Pig. While drooling over the menu on line and I then saw that it was only 13 minutes away so I, of course, had to suggest it (strongly) to my partner who had 0 complaints about going. He too loves bbq! "Let's go all out and really try this bbq, therefore it's on me buddy, not the company credit card. I got us today!" I kindly make this statement to my partner as we are en route to this Bearded Pig. Upon arrival we see a staff member in the parking lot and she looks up and gives us a full smile greeting. My response, "love it, man, everyone in Florida is so effin nice!" We proceed inside to more damn smiles and friendly ass staff members. I inform our "order taker" friendly lady it is our first time, she graciously let's me know to take our time and peruse the menu. So what we ordered: (1) Smoked wings (2) Two orders of the Kings sandwich (Brisket on crack sandwich)* (2) A couple of fountain drinks. Had to try that sweet tea. The sweet tea. Amazing! Sweet enough, not too sweet, just right where you can still fully taste the quality of that tea, with just enough sweetness to make you say..."OMEffinGod, even the Sweet tea is amazing!!!" The Wings. Again, I dont mean to freak out, but I've never had better wings than these damn effin wings. Smoked perfectly, a ton of meat on the wings, all of the wings. You know how sometimes you get like 10, but 2 or 3 will look like they were suffering with anorexia?! Well, not at the bearded pig. All these little suckers were proportionality just right! The first bite into the Brisket sandwich. I almost pretty much fainted. Look at my picture, that's how they come. Not a false advertisement picture but rather the real deal type picture. Ya da ming?! They had 6 different types of bbq we were able to squirt on our delicious food. That habanero/ghost pepper was my favorite. So good and had a hint of that spiciness. I'm going back to California today . I almost want to cancel my flight and buy a house right next door to the Bearded Pig so I can eat there everyday! Hahha In short, I would definitely overstay my welcome at this spot! Lol. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the place had the saddest decor! The ambiance was awesome of course. The layout, I commented to my partner was awesome! Loving that half indoor and half outdoor bar set up! I love you, the Bearded Pig, I mean I love you so much. I know we had just met so it's little awkward, or maybe telling you is just too soon , it's just that I love you so much! And I have to tell you! Hahahha Ok, bye for now. I'll be back for sure!! Our company got the contract to begin work here so yeah, I'll be coming back for sure. Gonna stalk your ass now! read more

Brisket Salad was great with the A-1 Ranch dressing. Got the kid a kid's Brisk sandwich with mac and cheese. To much for him to finish.

Cool bbq joint in the Jacksonville area! We came here on a Saturday for lunch around 1. We beat most of the crowd, but the line was almost out the door by the time we were eating, so come early! You order at the front and they have a variety of plate options and a la Carte with the meats. My husband and I decided to try a little bit of everything. The pork and turkey were definitely our favorite meats- the rib was a little tough and the brisket wasn't as flavorful as we'd hoped. But the stars of the show were 100% the sides! The collards were to die for, and the Brussels were incredible. They happened to be the side special for the day, so we jumped on that quickly. They did have a larger bar area and plenty of patio seating. The parking situation is quite small, so lots of people were parking on the street or waiting to pounce in the lot for a space. When we were waiting in line, the employee stopped taking orders because there weren't any tables available. This backed up the line quite a bit and of course there were plenty of tables ready when we were ready to sit down. Seemed strange to us, but we sat quickly and the food came out fast. read more
