Pig Beach BBQ Queens

"8.6 - We know we know, rating a NYC-based BBQ joint this high seems absurd and almost ruins the validity of the rest of our NYC ratings. We promise we've eaten BBQ in some of the best states (Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee to name a few), but there's a specific reason for our rating here. If you're from an area known for their BBQ or have access to a place you swear by, then this is probably not as exciting, and definitely avoidable. However, for the rest of us in NYC that have the privilege of getting the highest quality in almost every cuisine besides BBQ, finding a "more than passable" quick service BBQ spot is everything! These guys do everything right, from the meats to the sauces to the sides. The mac & cheese is a must order and you can't go wrong with any of the meats (although our favorites are the brisket and provolone stuffed sausage). The sauces are almost Memphis style, but they also have a vinegar-based NC sauce (which actually is less vinegar-y than what we're used to, which we liked!). Get as much as you can here, no order is wrong and it will all be some of the best BBQ available in NYC"
