Pair your meal with your choice of:

  • Twelve rotating draft beers
  • Local and regional craft brews

Great BBQ,
Great Drinks

The Bearded Pig upholds the very best of Southern barbecue traditions. Inspired by Texas, where brisket is king and every cut starts with a perfectly balanced dry rub, we also pay tribute to the Carolinas, where slow-smoked pork holds legendary status. The result is a menu full of bold flavor that's worthy of the Bold City.

Our five homemade signature sauces give you the freedom to customize every bite, from sweet and smoky to rich and spicy. Pair your barbecue with Southern starters, scratch-made sides, fresh garden salads, or vegetarian-friendly options that satisfy all palates.

No barbecue experience is complete without a refreshing drink. Our full bar features 12 rotating draft beers, local and regional craft brews, ciders, bottled favorites, and a thoughtfully curated wine list selected to complement our menu. If cocktails are more your style, our signature PIG-Tails, full liquor selection, and exciting mocktails ensure there's something for everyone.

Easily some of the best BBQ in Jacksonville. The brisket was perfectly smoked with a great bark, sausage was some of the best I've ever had.

Scott Bryant

This place has great food and a fun atmosphere! The pulled pork, sweet and sour beans, and Mac and cheese were all amazing.

Kinsey Clishe

Our first trip to the Bearded Pig lived up to our expectations! The brisket and pulled pork were tender and flavorful. We loved the variety of sauces, too!

Amelia Tyler

The beef rib is even bigger than I remember and the fries are nice and crispy. I brought my husband with me and we both were very satisfied. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well.

Maryann Mina Cambe

The pulled pork was juicy and tender, and the brisket was flavorful and cooked just right. The mac and cheese hit the spot too.

Oscar Guerrero

Brisket and pulled pork were delicious, smoky with great bark. Some of the best ribs I've ever had. If you haven't been, go try this gem. All the sides were 10/10 too.

Ryan Jensen

The flavors were excellent. The portions were large. And the price was reasonable. I would say this rivals some of the top BBQ places across the US.

Charlie Matthews

There were many options in the menu. The texture and flavor were 10/10 on everything. The portions were huge and the food came out fast.

Divij Naraine

The San Marco platter was more than enough for us but we did add two sides. But the beef ribs we got for dinner were by far the best!!!! The slab fell right off the big bone!!

Danelle Jackson

Sweet and Sour beans were wonderful and hot. Overall the experience was wonderful.

Jerina Bell

This was probably one of the best briskets I've ever had. They also have a nice bar with nice outdoor seating.
