The Boardwalk BBQ Menu has become a beloved part of coastal food culture, but its story began decades ago when founders Jack and Marlene Porter opened a tiny boardwalk stand in 1984. What started as a modest smoke-pit by the beach quickly expanded into a full restaurant as locals and tourists lined up daily for slow-smoked meats and homestyle sides. Word of mouth—and early Google searches for “best boardwalk bbq near me”—helped the brand grow into multiple locations over time.
As Boardwalk BBQ gained popularity, the menu evolved from simple brisket plates to a full range of ribs, sandwiches, coastal-inspired specials, and fan-favourite sauces.
What many diners don’t know is that there’s also a secret menu packed with off-menu creations, staff favourites, and upgraded versions of classics.
Still, the original signature brisket plate remains the heart of the restaurant—proof that even as flavours evolve, the classic that started it all continues to win over loyal fans while hidden gems await those who know to ask.
