Water Pig BBQ

The food was the best BBQ we've ever had and we've had a lot at different places in different states over the years!! Too bad we don't live in Pensacola Beach but then again maybe that's a good thing, lol. The food portions are very generous so be ready to share! The views and atmosphere were amazing! The staff was awesome, especially our server Luke! He was such an awesome young man, very attentive but not bothersome. He was so nice, answered our questions and was very helpful!! This place is absolutely a MUST if you're in Pensacola Beach!!!!

We loved eating here. The food was delicious, but it did take a hot minute to get it. So be prepared to wait after ordering. I got the pitmasters salad and absolutely loved it. The view of the water is beautiful too.

Delicious food, service and pet friendly. The view to the private beach was amazing and the elote was my favorite , thanks

Out at Water Pig BBQ on Pensacola Beach, lunch ain’t some sad little afterthought they threw together to please folks in pastel polos — it’s a damn full-blown event, the kind where you show up hungry and leave needing a nap and a life coach. This place squats right up against the sand like it owns the shoreline, and honestly, it kinda does. They built Water Pig with one idea in mind: make the kind of barbecue that don’t just taste good — it wrecks your whole plan for the day. Low and slow smoking, no shortcuts, no apologies. Open-air seating, Gulf breeze whipping your napkins off the table, and a smoker out back belching hickory-sweet promises into the sky. That’s the vibe. Now, let’s talk about why we’re really here — the Brisket Barbacoa Tacos. When they hit the table, they ain’t playing around. You get two classic street tacos, built honest and simple: a heavy-handed pile of slow-cooked brisket barbacoa, so tender it basically apologizes to your teeth for making them do any work. They top it with diced onion and fresh-cut cilantro — none of that sad, wilty garnish nonsense — and drop a lime wedge on the side, like they know you’re gonna need a little acid to cut through the glorious meat tsunami you’re about to unleash. And because Water Pig understands the way normal, decent folks eat, they don’t hand you a couple of tacos and call it a day. No, sir. They toss in a side of golden, crispy-ass tater tots — little crunchy miracles that ought to come with a warning label about how addictive they are. You sit there, toes in the sand, brisket juice drippin’ down your wrist, poppin’ tots like you’re at a high-stakes carnival — and for a few sweet, smoky moments, you forget about calories, beach bods, or whatever dumb plan you had to “just grab a light snack.” Water Pig don’t do light snacks. They do barbecue. And they do it like they mean it.

This place is so awesome. Can’t wait to come back. Food was amazing so is the atmosphere in the service.

Fairly traditional BBQ. Good size serving portions. The staff is very friendly and made the atmosphere inviting. One downside, is they only had one bbq sauce. It’s wasn’t bad, just used to bbq joints having a few to choose from. Definitely recommend, if you are in the area.
