Founded by Rob Shawger and fellow award-winning pitmasters Matt Abdoo and Shane McBride—two elite chefs who left NYC’s Michelin-starred restaurants to pursue meat smokin’ mastery—Pig Beach BBQ’s chef-driven barbecue marries tried-and-true technique with a dash of global eclecticism for a fantastically delicious, never pretentious, foray into the Smoked Meat Universe.


Since its 2015 debut in Brooklyn, Pig Beach BBQ’s smoke-centric signatures have been featured in The New York Times, NBC’s TODAY Show, Eater, Food Network, CBS Saturday Morning, and more, and earned a coveted spot on Southern Living’s “Great American Barbecue Bucket List.” Along the way, Pig Beach’s all star trio has continued to make waves on the competitive barbecue scene, amassing dozens of world championship titles, while expanding the Pig Beach BBQ restaurant collection to include locations in Queens, New York, West Palm Beach, Florida, and now Boston!

    Service was very attentive but with multiple servers it was a bit disjointed. Food was generally pretty good but ribs were a little dry. Would go again, though.

    Took a chance on a new place and we were not disappointed. Everyone was super friendly, food was delicious, the extra games and activities were fun, and everyone, young and old, had a great time.

    Not a lot of brunch options, however, it was a great selection and the food was all so good! Got the “Post Malone” espresso martini drink which was incredible. Prices are fare, and it was a great environment. Luckily no one was playing pickle ball at the court next to us, or else I would think that some balls would get tossed our way. Great experience! Would definitely go back!

    Great food. Amazing service. Surprising given the focus is pickleball. Will be back.

    The Pig Beach pop up had excellent food and I was super excited to try everything! No leftovers since we licked our plates clean! I would definitely go back to eat at PKL again even though I normally just play pickleball there.

    We really enjoyed our time at Pkl! Would definitley recommend at least an hour for pickleball. It’s so nice being able to get drinks and food delivered to your table while you play. Overall a really fun experience with delicious food and drinks. My only complaint is that it’s a bit pricey for the food and drinks.

    Such a fun day - a little pickleball followed by yummy brunch! And delicious and creative drinks. The flights served on the paddle were a very whimsical touch but also very tasty. Food was excellent. Just a fun vibe in general. Service was great!
