Reviews for Porky Pete's BBQ in Essex, CT
Pete?s has been there forever but today was the first time we got their BBQ for a party and it was absolutely fantastic. We have... our party solution for the future. Read more
Did not appreciate the huge Trump sign inside the store. BBQ is great.
It was good. Not great but good, wish it was fresh not reheated though
*TAKE OUT ONLY* I'd call this BBQ spot "Eclectic". Offering BBQ | Vinyl Records | Chocolates | Cookies. Located beside... ExxonMobil gas station. Often, the debate about barbecue is whether wet or dry is better. Overall, this was on the dry-side. Weordered the lunch specials - Pulled Pork and Brisket sandwiches with chips and cookies. The meat was well-seasoned (not greasy)and nicely presented on a giant potato roll. We ordered coleslaw topping to the Brisket. Portions are large. We both agreedthat the Almond Joy cookie was yummy and the perfect dessert pairing. Not sure what was going on with the "Vinyl recordsection" inside, but it was a little bit cluttered and dusty, maybe they are in the midst of re-organizing? 3-4 picnic tablesoutside under the pine trees for use. Owner operated, very kind and friendly service. :) :) :) 3 Smiles Read more
We had friends coming over and decided to try Porky Pete?s for the first time yesterday (We have a beach house in Westbrook and... used to get our BBQ from Chesters in Clinton...but they are now closed). We ordered ribs, brisket, pulled pork, beans and cornbread. OMG!!! Really outstanding!! Serious BBQ!!! Everyone raved about the food! Sorry Chesters...you were ok...but Pete?s issimply waaay better! Thrilled to have found this great little place!!! Tim Lyons Read more
Stopped here on a whim for some bbq with my friends and good thing we too! We all had their 8.99 pork sandwich lunch special and... it was very worth the trip and the money the 2 guys that were working there at the time were both very polite and courteous theydefinitely deserve a try if you're in the area Read more
Best brisket sandwich around also the smoked St. Louis ribs that we took home for dinner were so big and tender. One rack fed... three people, what a deal for only $20.99. Not a sit down kind of place, mostly to go. Worth the trip! Read more
