This is the best pulled pork sandwich I’ve had in a long time. I drove an hour just for the food and it was well worth it.

I wish I could give 0 stars.

Got really sick after eating here. Worst part is that it was subpar food to begin with, so I couldn’t even enjoy that.

James Mckeon

Not worth it to shop here. Dude behind the counter is rude and the food is average at best

Microwaved BBQ...yes please! All of these extra words are being typed because Yelp wouldn't let me post just the first sentence.

Food's terrible. Ambiance is hostile. Very unfriendly place for an average customer passing through. Food was dry and flavorless too.

Always great food.

We went to get dinner here one night but we're disappointed! Prices are high for everything and wasn't that good! I'm really not a big fan of barbecue so I really shouldn't judge it but I do know it was so expensive the time I stopped by to get dinner from the them! It really wasn't very special for the price! I'm sorry but really don't like barbecue.so I don't know if it's good o not!but the rest of the food we got from here was horrible !! I don't recommend Porkys Pete's at all!

Very disappointed. We used to go here all the time a few years ago, and it was excellent. But, our first time back since Covid, was less than expected. The pulled pork was extremely dry, and as we entered, there was a smell that was very unsettling.

Great staff, great food, the baked beans were out of this world overall a great place to pick up a quick fresh, hearty sandwich and have your taste buds blown away.... can't wait for my next stop

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.

Did not appreciate the huge Trump sign inside the store. BBQ is great.

Nice owners, incredible barbecue, fair prices. Will come back again. Don't listen to people saying "be warned it's in a gas station". It's connected but this is not gas station food. Best BBQ I've had in the Northeast. We are really glad we visited.
