The Bearded Pig - Jacksonville

Food was excellent! We arrived on a Sunday shortly after 11 and it was quite empty. The closer to noon, the more busy it came to the point where each table was taken. There are indoor and outdoor seats, a full bar. Many parking spaces. And its in a great location near the highways.

This place is absolutely incredible. Not only are you greeted by the amazing BBQ smells as soon as you walk in, friendly staff are happy to help and give you advice on just what to order if you're new. The atmosphere here is busy, but definitely laid back for guests who want to gosh on classic BBQ and sip a brew. The Kings sandwich is incredible, with different savory meats mixed with a dabble of cheese sauce, and a crunchy cool slaw that compliments it perfectly, you can't go wrong. The Mac and cheese is wonderful, but if they're in season, get the Brussel sprouts with parmesan. Be kind to your taste buds, and give them a chance to try the ghost pepper sauce. Just spicy enough, and oh so good. When you're done, do yourself a favor and get the banana pudding. It's not very thick, but it's sweet, with perfectly crunchy vanilla wafers on top. Locals know this spot is it, so if you're new in town, you've got to give this place a visit. You won't regret it. parking is tight, so get here early!

My friend took me to The Bearded Pig Sunday for my first time. We got there around 1 and it was busy but didn't have to wait to long to order. They are dog friendly!! You walk up to order your food, get your number and drink and find a seat. I ordered the pull pork sandwich and side of Mac and cheese. It was so yummy. Their sweet sauce is so good. I was thinking about my meal the next day. My friend got salad with pulled pork and a side of fries and she said it was really delicious as well. We sat on the patio with my friend's dog. They have bowls of water for the doggies. It was chilly that day and they have heaters out. The workers are very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

So we tried the Bearded Pig and WOW. It was great! The ribs are incredible! You are a dry ruin I prefer, so if you are a saucy rib person (like my crazy GF) You might just be a little disappointed. Trust me, even though they get the approval of the Saucy Rib crowd. Great atmosphere, service was top notch even during dinner rush. But the best part... the beans... the English language has no description for the beans. The best... I was on 1000 BBQ places all over the country, never had beans like that. If nothing else try the beans

Had a multi-meat sandwich with Coleslaw and bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers. Wow. The poppers made the sandwich. The sausages were tasteful and perfectly cooked. Smoke level was perfect on the Briske and pulled pork An excellent BBQ experience. Nice to be able to sit outside; the staff were all friendly and efficient. A must for BBQ lovers in Jax.
