damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Pig Beach yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
At its original Gowanus Canal location, Pig Beach drew "long, sidewalk-clogging lines up and down the Gowanus Canal week after week," according to Time Out's guide to NYC's best BBQ. That reputation for crowds was part of what made the spot a destination before the original closed.
Pig Beach has since consolidated into its Astoria, Queens outpost, per Time Out, which describes a large outdoor space serving the same meat-heavy menu of ribs, brisket, burgers, dogs and wings that built the original's following. Time Out does not report current wait times at the Queens location.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Current wait times at the Astoria location aren't reported; Time Out notes the original Gowanus Canal outpost was known for long, sidewalk-clogging lines before it closed.
Reservation policy for the Astoria location is not established by available sources.
Walk-in policy for the current Astoria outpost is not established by available sources; the large outdoor space suggests more capacity than the original location.
