Pig Beach BBQ — Restaurant in Boston

This order started with a receipt on the bag that was more than I was supposed to be charged. Not a great start...I ordered a cup of Baked Beans, Cornbread and the Smothered Mac and cheese [with Brisket]. The cornbread was near-perfect- a slight sweetness and moist, but still held together; The Beans seemed to have an identity crisis: The initial bite was good but the finish was cloyingly sweet. This tastes tomato-forward, and there are a variety of beans [NOT vegetarian], but the lingering sweetness is odd (especially when it doesn't taste familiar, akin to Maple or Molasses). If you like sweet, you'll enjoy this but for those who prefer a more balanced flavor, eating this with the cornbread was great. I would actually order the two as a meal and be satisfied [doctoring with some red pepper flakes]. The item I was most anxious to taste was the mac and brisket. When I saw the portion, I was immediately perplexed..$16....and you give me a wartime ration? As soon as I saw the macaroni, I thought was being punked. $16 and change for a lunchtime size....WITH MAC-N-CHEESE YOU CAN FIND AT 7-11 AND MICROWAVE. That was enough to disassociate from this...

We went on a Monday around 6:30, and it was really empty. I was worried but the food was delicious. We had the brisket and the turkey. Both were very moist and flavorful. The Mac and cheese and baked beans were great sides. We did not care for the vinegar slaw (peppers were weird) or the potato salad (too much celery), but others may like them. The table has several hot sauces and a little menu explaining each. They were yummy. We came for the Dine Out Boston promotion, and it was a lot of food. We got our desserts to go because we were stuffed. I just ate my brownie, and it was great - sweet, dense, well-sized.

The pickleball courts are an interesting idea. A few courts were in use when we were there, but they didn't bother us. I could see this being a fun date...

Came here on a Friday night for dinner. Brisket was good, as were the bbq tater tots. They have a small selection of 5 sauces in their bbq carousel which are all unique and flavourful. Decent selection of cocktails/beer but the BBQ menu itself was a little limited in what they offer. Service was good. Only thing that is weird and a potential concern is that it shares the space with pickleball courts/corn hole. Thus, it can get really noisy and very unlikely but could a random pickleball hit something in the...
