Nice pub with American style music. We ordered ribs today and were good but a bit of fat in it. Dinner for 2 cost us £45 with drinks so really good price. No empty tables at 3pm. After arriving at the restaurant, the staff told us to wait on the side because there were no table but after about 25 minutes we had to remind ourselves for a table because the two couples who came after us got tables right away. My overall rating is 4 out of 5

Food was lovely and well priced for the portion sizes. Would definitely eat here again. The milkshakes were lovely and the food is good quality.

Absolutely Scrum-diddily-umptious!!!! My husband suggested we visited Porkys after realising that our original planned restaurant was only serving Sunday dinners instead of their usual menu, which is not what we fancied! All I can say is that I can’t believe I haven’t visited here sooner. All of the staff were so friendly and we were looked after from the moment we walked in. We were told what items were no longer available to order, which was fine considering the menu choice was rather extensive! So much so, we took a lot longer than usual to decide what we wanted! Highly recommend the Sharing nachos with Brisket. We asked for the guacamole / sour cream on the side as my husband isn’t a fan but I am, which was accommodated. The mains were also delicious. I went for a smash burger with fries and my partner went for a stack of meats which we both thoroughly enjoyed. The white wine I had was also really good! As I find that some restaurants that serve such great food have terrible tasting wine! So this was an additional bonus. My only criticisms are that we waited almost 40 minutes for our mains to arrive after our starter - which I do believe had been missed / forgotten about. We had to ask the awkward ‘how long will our food be’, which is the first time we have done that in a restaurant before, so we don’t quite know what happened there. The only other criticism I had was that the coleslaw on the side of my burger was pitiful in size, so much so, we both made a comment on it as it might as well not have been on the plate… but tasted fantastic nonetheless! The staff clearly work very hard to keep things ticking over and the chefs are also clearly very talented at what they do. We will most definitely return and we highly recommend!

Went out with family for something to eat. Ended up here and wow , there smash burgers are unreal. Got the Porkys 2.0 burger and was well impressed. Wife tried there Texas parmo, which I just had to help myself to and it was amazing. We'll be back soon .

Had a few meals here - pizza, steak and Sunday lunch. Can't fault it - nothing fancy just good honest food. The staff are lovely and the place is decorated with industrial chic. The espresso martini is the best for miles Update - went tonight for the pig out special. A selected drink, selected main and side for £9. You can pay supplements to upgrade your meal. I was not really impressed as the quality of the food was not great. But for the price - what can you expect?? Hopefully it will be better next time 🙂

They have done something very clever here with the interior and the food lives up to the hype. Over ordered which is typical but all the dishes tasted fantastic and well worth it. Wine a little expensive and food could have been hotter, only criticisms. Very good night otherwise. Good music and staff really helpful. Doesn’t take American Express, has baby changing.

Went here a few weeks ago & wow. Possibly one of THE BEST sunday dinners i have ever had. We couldnt get into somewhere that sold sunday dinners as it was extremely busy & no seats, went into a bar & a family recommended coming here for a dinner & i am so glad they recommend porkys! Beef literally melted apart which is what i love! Everything was beautiful. Had to wait 15 mins or so to be seated but didn’t mind at all as it was busy & now i understand why! Whenever i am next in tynemouth i will definitely be back for a dinner. Even all the other dishes looked stunning.

Food was delicious I had the ribs with maple bacon fries my husband had the meat platter with the pork and beef. The portions were very generous we were both stuffed. I had a cherry vanilla hardshake which was to die for. The staff were very friendly. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely food! We seen a couple through the window and their food looks amazing so I knew what I was ordering unfortunately I ordered the wrong thing and was guttered when my food came out that I'd got it wrong but it was delicious id have it again! We didn't finish all the meat so got it put into a takeaway carton. My husband had a sandwich with it later that night he said it made the best sandwich he'd had and will be doing that everytime we go. we would highly recommend
