About Porkies BAR-B-QUE

Porkies serves serious North American low-and-slow barbecue with generous portions and authentic pit-smoked bark. Pitmaster cuts like tender beef brisket and fall-off-the-bone ribs anchor the menu, while regulars lean hard into the burnt ends and house-baked mac and cheese. Crowds gather around loaded meat samplers built intentionally for sharing—with plenty headed home in takeaway boxes—paired with bottomless iced tea refills and wedges of homemade cherry or key lime pie.

  • Generous Meat Samplers: Expansive trays piled high with brisket, ribs, chicken, and homestyle sides easily feed hungry groups with plenty left over.
  • Bottomless Drink Refills: Diners get unlimited pours of soft drinks and house iced tea for an uncommon flat-rate perk.
  • Family-Friendly Setup: A relaxed, bustling dining floor featuring a dedicated kids' play area and vintage arcade games.

Why Choose Porkies BAR-B-QUE

Discover why diners choose Porkies for authentic low-and-slow barbecue, generous platters, and family comfort.

  • Authentic Low-and-Slow Smoked Meats

    Porkies serves classic North American low-and-slow barbecue including juicy beef ribs, burnt ends, and smoked chicken.

    Half chicken and dry smoked wings were juicy and very above average. Beef ribs (not common in american bbq) were gourmet.

  • $6 Bottomless Drinks and Iced Tea

    Guests enjoy unlimited refills on sodas, soft drinks, and iced teas for just $6.

    The bottomless soft drink for $6 is an absolute bargain.

  • Generous Shareable Sampler Platters

    Large-format meat sampler platters easily feed groups and provide extra meals to take home.

    We had the sampler, and all the meats and sides were delicious. It says it feeds two, but I'm fairly sure you could comfortably feed 3-4 people on it, because we ended up taking home leftovers and having a whole extra meal from that!

  • Family-Friendly Space with Kids' Play Area

    An indoor kids' play area and welcoming family setup make group outings stress-free with children.

    they have a play area for kids too which was actually why we came here the first time.

    The cherry pie is full of cherries and not too sweet, just right.
