Porky's BBQ in Northumberland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Having seen great reviews on Tripadvisor decided to check out Porky's The food was delicous. Some of the best wings I have ever had. Service was friendly and helpful. Country music isn't my thing but it was fine.

Great food and nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and quick service. We'll worth the visit and will be back soon.

Quick and friendly service, lots of choice

1st time visit food amazing staff welcoming friendly will be back without a doubt

All staff really friendly my grandson special needs they did his pizza really thin so he could have it thank you to a great team

Visited on a warm very buisy evening. American diners are not usually my thing but loved this place! I had the pulled brisket with corn, slaw and chips, which was a huge portion, but I persevered and finished it. My companion had a pizza and chips and said it was the best she had had. Service was good but very slow and things were forgotten but it didnt detract from the experience. Would definitely return if I was in Blyth again.

Been meaning to leave a review for a few weeks now, finally getting round to it. We were visiting family over this way and we came here for a meal and all I can say is WOW. The service was quick and to the point and spot on, the food came out without hardly any waiting time. Quite easily one of the best burgers I have ever had, without a doubt. For the 6 of us, when the bill came I was pleasantly surprised with it for the quality of food for me and my fellow diners. When we visit them again we will definitely be back, or even if not I will be making this trip as the journey from Harrogate will be worth it. If you're in the area, you are lucky sods having this so close by :) Thanks again everyone!

First class meal for really good value price. The service was excellent and quick.

Awesome American style diner with a nice atmosphere. 😉😉 Food choice is great and tasted amazing. We'll worth z trip over. 😎😎

It was fantastic man the flat iron steak was amazing as well

Fantastic place with amazing food

Nice food. Pleasant staff. Reasonable price. Would go again.

Lovely atmosphere. Great service and friendly. Food was amazing and reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back

Dyers dined out! Said plenty times before we would try and never got round to it. And now we have …… Absolutely bloody fantastic, makes you feel like you’re in America, food is outstanding and cooked to the highest of standards. We had the TomaPork, so juicy and tender, rind done to perfection to and naturally me being me if it’s a well cooked meat on the bone I have to get every last bit of it off with my razor teeth… Staff are lovely and you can see they all work well together and have respect for each other, 1000% out of this world the whole experience, we will definitely be back Thanks you Porkys

This is the first time visiting Porkys today, what a great venue. It has a real American cowboy feel. The service was great everyone polite and friendly. The food was amazing the BBQ Pulled pork melted in my mouth it came with a side of sweet potatoes fries which were crispy and soft in the middle 😍. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend 👌

A bit of American grill experience. A break from a healthy diet.

My Son and I decided to try this place for dinner on Sunday evening and enjoy the food and atmosphere. We ate burgers and fries then shared a waffle with ice cream and cookie dough bits topped off with nutella.

So disappointed today to learn the child portions of Sunday lunch weren’t available so the price had gone up from £6.95 to £10.95 it’s quite a big jump for people on a budget. On saying this to the manager he was quite rude and said they were a waste of time as everyone was ordering them . Seems to me and my company if everyone was ordering them it would of made more sense just to increase them by a pound not £4

So - Me and My mate Dave gave Porky's ago. What a treat. Sun was shining, Ice cold beer. Food was great, at a good price. Had the 12hr cooked Brisket. Very nice indeed. Defo worth a look in.

burgers were nice some bits were cold but didn't spoil the overall taste, waitresses were lovely

Nice place, good food & drinks.

Fabulous, family-friendly feast. Excellent food and service. The value for money was outstanding. We went during half term and the kids ate free, including 12 inch wood fired pizzas, not the 6 inch frozen pizzas you get in some places. The young lad serving even replaced the chips our three year old dropped. Highly recommended.

Fantastic find we were looking for some lunch and found this place on Google maps. Great American dinner all food cooked onside and meat from butchers next door. We had wings starter and choice of smoked or southern fried and choices of sauce and heat levels. We had 2 and 1 of each type of wings and 2 different sauces was amazing. Great choice of food from burgers to ribs and dogs. We had the Porkies double c burgers which had beef patties, southern fried chicken breast and bbq pulled pork with homemade fries and slaw and as amazing. Cost fir 2 drinks, 2 wings and 2 mains wax £54. Great value would definitely recommend a visiting

Great food, pretty authentic and lovely sitting out on the terrace in the sunshine. Highly recommend.

Ordered Philly cheese burger and fries, was absolutely beautiful. Waitress was lovely and polite!

Excellent menu with great dishes. Service was great and loved the atmosphere. First time visit for us, will definitely be back.

My 1st time At porkys n will deffo be going again food outstanding 5 stars so yummy n juicy 5 stars deffo going back lovley friendly staff fab food

Disneyland for carnivores. King of Stacks this time, accompanied by massive onion rings. Peanut butter milkshake afterwards. All of it delicious and made with the best ingredients.

Fabulous experience! Especially for meat lovers. 🍖 butchers next door and liquor store. Ventured up from Lincoln for a week and stopped here on a whim. Definitely not your usual diner but it was good. Staff are lovely, decorated fabulously, homemade brews were great and the food was amazing. Definitely come back if we're up this way again! The kids (older) loved it!!

Lots of meat choices for the birthday boy 🎉 & some nice alternatives for us veggies 👍🏼.....and they do takeaway to 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Having been nearly a year ago and witnessed OK service but good food, and given that I read a couple of negative reviews I was a bit apprehensive about visiting. However I am so glad that I went with my gut instinct and visited Porky's! Turned up on a Thursday without a booking and we were shown to a 6 seater booth (we were a group of two adults and two children). I opted for the Meat Showcase meal, which at £22 is very good value for money considering the amount of meat that you get. My partner and one of the kids opted for the £9 menu, which allows for drink, main meal and a side, which is a bargain. My other child ordered chicken nuggets and chips from the children's menu. My partner ordered a side of mac and cheese with her meal but when it arrived, it had fries. We pointed this out to the waitress who not only corrected the issue straight away but also let us keep the fries at no extra charge, which I thought was very good customer service. The meat selection meal was very nice. The steak that came with it was nicely cut already and I found it was not too chewy to eat, which can often be an issue with steak, especially the rump cut. Portion sizes were massive; my partner ordered the flattened battered chicken and it was huge and my son ordered the double burger well done, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We were asked how our meals were a few times whilst eating, which I did not mind at all. Everything on this occasion was spot on and the service from several members of the Porky's team was very efficient and friendly! Will be back when I feel I am able to demolish another meat selection meal! Thanks for a very nice meal.

Love it, meat lovers paradise 😍 ✨️ 😋

Great place to eat. Went there last night for the first time and I was really impressed. Staff were polite, friendly and attentive. Food was outstanding and the burger was so nice I ordered a takeaway tonight. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, had been wanting to try this place for a while based on friends experiences and their social media photos and we were not disappointed, we got an OG platter to share and bbq pulled pork loaded fries with corn on the cob, absolutely delicious, already planning our next visit and this time we are bringing friends 👍

We ate as a family of 4. Upon arrival no one asked us for drinks. After 20 min we asked to make our order for food and our first drinks. Staff were just talking with each other which is fine if we were taking care of. It was not a normal restaurant experience in the slightest. No one asked us for more drinks, condiments ect or if the food was okay. The kids meals were great but apart from that it was extremely poor.

I've been looking forward to a visit here and it did not dissapoint, so tasty, I'll be visiting again

£3.50 for what is asda cola this is the second visit thi year and the non alcoholic drinks are not coke or pepsi as advertised on the menu, also the bottled pints of home made blue lemonade tasted foisty and wrong , mains were decent service was poor its a shame as this never used to be the case here

Visit here quite regularly and the food is always good. We had a Sunday roast which was beautiful. The pork was cooked perfectly and a healthy which kept us full all day.

Great food really friendly staff

Fantastico, Massively Big Portions, Meat is The Freshest I’ve Seen ever The Staff are Absolutely Amazing it’s Like Home From Home. The Waffle is Just Heaven. Thankyou All.

Great food, good atmosphere and GOOD SERVICE. 1st time there will definitely going back

Beautiful place and staff. The food Was amazing .

Delicious food, great menu for a family group - something for everyone. All served nice and hot to a table of 14.

I only pick daughter up after work

I recently visited porkys with a group of 13 people and the food was lovely and I will definitely be going back, the atmosphere was good , staff were friendly and helpful, food and drink are responsible priced and definitely value for money. The restaurant is very themed and quirky , it was a very cold night and they were trying desperately to keep the place warm which I don't think many restaurants do, food came within about 20 minutes if that ,which was great especially for the young children we had with us , meals all came together which was really good service especially as there was 13 of us , everyone enjoyed there meal and commented how nice it was , kids enjoyed themselves too so all around a brilliant meal on a very cold winter night . If your a vegetarian and like burgers, this is definitely the place to go , I normally don't rate veggie burgers but this has to be one the best I ever had . They are also on just eat which tonight I have also tried, just so I could get my new favourite burger fix , delivery was fast and on time , prices are still really good , food was just as nice as it was in the restaurant, was also still very hot and the delivery person came with a smile 😁 ! Definitely my go to place now for a veggie burger now !!! Sorry fat hippo ! Thank you to the chef/kitchen or who ever read my note about the sauce, I was very happy and shocked to see a full tub of it had been included in with my order ( it can be our little secret 😂) it made my food even more delicious. Let's hope it is added to your side menu on just eat for future orders 🙏.

I won’t order from here, it’s my fiancées and mines first anniversary together, exactly 1 year ago today we met, so I thought this sounds like an amazing takeaway, I simply phoned up, as I couldn’t order yet, fiancée doesn’t finish work til 8pm as she’s a carer, so I simply asked in a nice toned voice “ I can’t order til after 8pm but do you do takeaways to Choppington area and can I order food without pepper, mustard & paprika” as since her cancer, my fiancée is allergic to them” he had a very harsh, nasty attitude, nothing like when I went to Raphaelo’s at Guidepost who treat me like a prince, who catered to all our needs and just had the best customer service and greatest attitude Iv ever witnessed at a restaurant, being called Mr Steven followed by surname” this place was the opposite, he was harsh, nasty, loud, and said in very harsh tone just go to Justeat, I only asked 2 questions, I’d stay clear with an attitude like that, it tells me they get frustrated very very easily and are not used to actual customer service and basically only rely on JustEat whatever happened to great customer service in Northumberland, stick with Raphaelo’s at guidepost they are the best by far

food is incredible and staff really friendly. great service, love the place.

Went for food here with family. Everything was 5* Food was high quality and service was very good and fast. 100% will be going again.

Food and service were excellent. Our server Sade was very good with us and provided us the best experience. I’d recommend the porkys smash burger, best burger I’ve had around Newcastle

A great atomosphere from as soon as you enter the resteraunt. Extremely friendly staff and lovely food. 10/10 highly recommend to anybody and will definitely return.

The best place I’ve been in years the staff are so friendly and helpful, highly recommend going here you will not be disappointed

Great place to eat, 5 stars from me! The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, the food is excellent! Will 100% be returning

We were the only ones there so service was quick! Went midweek for drink, burger and side for £12, not bad but chicken burger was a bit dry. Bacon royale burger was delicious, so were "dust" fries

Rude staff didn't respect 20% online offer. This place under new ownership going down. Calzone size of joke

We ordered food to be delivered via uber eats, the food that arrived was good, pretty mediocre, however the pulled pork was lovely. Some of our sides didn't arrive, so we called the restaurant to be told they won't be delivering them as there wasn't any drivers and if we remembered to ask to speak to the manager next time to get free sides....the manager had no intentions of sorting our missing food on the night it actually happened. I'd not recommend ordering from here.

Great BBQ food and meat. I had the Mac and cheese pulled pork and there was plenty without any sides! I did have the loaded potato skins as a side and would 100% recommend. My friend has a wrap and it was huge, definitely not your average wrap! Only down side was after our plates were taken noone came to us with a pudding menu or to ask if we wanted anything else so we ended up just asking for the bill and leaving so cannot comment on puds.

Called ahead for 2 people and 1 dog, was fine didn’t need booking, took us 30 mins to get here to be met with a angry man who said they aren’t dog friendly, when in fact it is. He then said we could stay if it didn’t bark, if it did we were straight out. We left, will not be spending any money here.

Looked forward to a family meal here but was very disappointed...the place was cold and I had to keep my coat on until warmed up... electrical cables trailing along the floor to run fan heaters....I'm sure the HSE would be interested in this. Service was very slow..food was warm at best when it arrived...sirloin steak was poor... gristley, fatty and white sinue running through the meat...we informed the waitress who said she would tell the manager but he never came to the table...fries were only warm, onion rings were greasy and looked like they'd been reheated. We asked for desserts to take home....another long wait and to be honest they didn't taste great either. Eat here at your peril.

Food was mediocre and pricey for what you get. No Coffee beans for any coffee beverages, Service was really poor, waiting staff either not sure which table is which, or just like to come to your table to show you what others have ordered. Waited 40 mins for a waffle whilst staff stood round talking to each other. Not impressed would not go again.

I wouldn’t recommend ordering the beef brisket it came very greasy and didn’t taste very good, the other things on the menu are quite nice though.

Honestly the best place to eat in Blyth. Great value, huge portions, go on an empty stomach. Please don't close like the rest of Blyth.

food was poor, follow-up call shows it's all my fault apparently half my delivery was 'meant' to be served cold Called to discuss, to be told I'm sarcastic [I am], and that melted nachos are meant to be served cold [we didnt get to the end of this ....] Quote from the guy on the phone when I complained about the nachos, 'who cares about £7.50, its not a big amount of money' Take you business elsewhere - I cant wait to re-deliver this tomorrow because its rubbish cheap food and I'm happy to speak face to face, no way am I being told my money is worthless I told you to fix it on the phone but just got insulted Delivery bloke 10/10 hahahahaha

Snow on the ground and heating was off. Kinda spoilt it for us as place was freezing.

The food was all nice except the steak was way too over salted to the point where we couldn’t eat it

Booked in for a table for 2 Friday evening last week! Super impressed it was our first time in this restaurant and will certainly be back. Stunning food, lovely staff, great selection of drinks and a buzzing atmosphere. See you again soon guys!

Great place to go, food is amazing at a great price, will be back again

We were visiting the area from Edinburgh for my birthday, and had been to Porky’s before and wanted to visit again. We were travelling with our dog so I phoned ahead and asked if they’d allow the dog into the restaurant to which the response was it was fine as long as he was quiet, and that whoever answered the phone said they had discussed it with the manager. We drove half an hour to get there and were looking forward to our meal however when we arrived we were met with hostility. No one smiled or welcomed us - the staff including the manager looked at our Labrador with disdain. I explained that I’d phoned ahead and whoever answered the phone had said that we could bring our dog with us. The manager then very abruptly said “is it quiet” and I explained that he is quiet and that I’d confirmed this during the phone call. The manager then replied in a rude, sarcastic tone. At this point I decided that we were leaving and we would not be parting with our money to be treated in such a manner. If they’re not dog friendly (which they clearly aren’t) then they need to say so. The way they were acting was as though they’d be doing us a massive favour by letting the dog in. We won’t return and will take our money elsewhere. The manager needs to consider how his attitude can come across. It’s absolutely fine to not allow dogs - dog owners will go somewhere else, but don’t be rude and disrespectful to customers. The place was absolutely dead - with staff like this I can’t say I’m surprised.

I'm a fan of Texan BBQ, and visiting this place was just like being whisked back there again. The music, the theme, and without a doubt the food. Slow smoked and delicious. Incredible. Wholeheartedly recommend this place, make sure you turn up hungry!

Not quite Texas but closer than most around here. The mac and cheese is awesome.

Visited on a Saturday lunch time and couldn't fault it. We were seated quickly, service was friendly and efficient throughout (with some nice extra touches like serving our desert to make it easier to share between three of us). Brisket and calzone were fantastic and the Porky's Sundae was also great. Daughter enjoyed her hot dog. Bill came just under £50 which included 2 mains, 1 extra side, soft drinks, 1 kids meal and dessert and I'd say it was well worth it. Plenty of parking as well, so very handy. We really like the Porky's in North Shields as well, but we'll definitely be back to this one.

Excellent meals 😋 reasonably priced

Visited today for lunch and my husbands birthday. Haven't been for a good couple of years, Covid etc. But wow! What we've been missing. The food and service was impeccable. Our group of 4 all had burgers. You can 100% taste the difference when the meat and produce is freshly sourced. The service was great, friendly and attentive. The Pig Out menu is a brilliant option. So much to choose from. Highly recommend and we will be back, soon!!!!!!

1st time at Porkys but it won’t be the last. Absolutely amazing food. The service was spot on and the cocktails were delicious. Would highly recommend this establishment . 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent service, great food and a nice atmosphere

First time visit and absolutely loved it , atmosphere was lovely , busy but a chilled vibe , our waitress was friendly and helpful , the food was delicious , nothing was too much trouble. Our young son was made to feel welcome and special . The decor is fun and use of space is great . Will definitely be regulars .

I went here tonight with my partner, and we have come here countless times, the food is always amazing!! Emeri’s service was outstanding, and he remade my whole meal with no extra charge because I forgot to tell him an allergy I had. He was so reassuring and kind and it makes the world of difference! The australian waitress was also amazing and it was very nice to meet a fellow Aussie! Will definitely be coming back, amazing as always!!

Just came out here for a dinner on the pig out deal - absolutely amazing value for money! And I must mention and say a huge thanks to Emeri, my partner has an allergy and forgot to mention this when ordering however Emeri made sure everything was all sorted and ensured the meal was remade without any contamination whilst being extremely reassuring. Outstanding customer service here and the food is delicious. Will definitely be returning. Couldn’t recommend more!

Always very nice when I go it's one of my favourite places for food

All we can say is WOW. This is the first time that we have dined here and we wished we lived closer as this would definitely be a weekly spot for us. We had the Jolly Hog and the OG. Everything tasted perfect. Thank you!

Absolutely fabulous. Food was amazing. Had to bring some home as there was so much. Made me think I was in US.

Amazing food, brilliant service, great atmosphere definitely will be back

Delicious food would highly recommend going here for a meal we've been twice now and can't wait to go back

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch , I had a 3 meat lunch , the lovely staff gave us boxes to bring our left over food home , 5* worth every penny

Best Sunday lunch by far ...presentation and value our regular venue . L Dixon

Service was very good, food was excellent, didn't have time to dine in but the place looks very nice with ample indoor and outdoor seating staff were all very friendly and welcoming...Will definitely visit again.

Food was great and a good price during the week

Absolutely delicious. Everyone loved their food

Fantastic food and fantastic staff matched by a great atmosphere we will be back

We found Porkys as we were staying nearby they weren't very full when we arrived but you could see it was getting a lot busier as we left the staff were really helpful with moktail suggestions for our son and they were very attentive. The food itself was huge the portions were massive especially the mac and cheese which was amazing. They had a great kids menu and although we didn't try it they did a Sunday roast as well. We all had puddings and I had the cookie dough which was more a warm cookie but I enjoyed it and my son loved his ice cream and Sherbert. The cocktail bar next door looked good as well I didn’t catch the name of it tho

Excellent food. All day special for £10 per head. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Perfectly cooked food as always

Staff are welcoming and really helpful, food was great and good value for money,

Food was excellent,great service food served quickly and really reasonable priced Great decor and lovely atmosphere We went for my sons birthday and will be back

This is quite a handy restaurant for me as it’s down the road, but every time I go every single staff member looks miserable and unhappy to be there. Customer service is awful and unfriendly! To avoid the misery of waiting staff in person I’ve turned to delivery which is been average at best. The food is soggy and microwaved and this latest order came way after closing time because they forgot the order so had to do it quickly after close. 90 minutes late!!! How ridiculous. Would recommend anywhere but here to be honest.

Went on a Saturday food was lush kids enjoyed there pizza 🍕 so did the Mrs I had a burger 🍔 and it was lush .Good selection of food on the menu. Plus there was a singer a young girl who was very good . Will be back to try out the other delicious choices and just about forgot the puddings are 2 tempting not to try mmm ps a cocktail bar is next door or part of it .

Food was really nice, I look forward to trying more things on the menu 😋

Superb ! The food is delicious with nice portion sizes at a good price. Friendly and helpful staff give great service. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. The restaurant itself has a excellent atmosphere and is great for couples or large parties !!

Service was top notch, and food was cooked perfectly.. definitely recommend going here!! 😋
