Our Story

Pik Nik BBQ was founded by Hassan and Alberta Jarane
in 2016 and quickly became a neighborhood favorite for its tasty wood-smoked meats and feel-good vibes. Our passion is to bring the best smoked meats and down home traditions to Westchester County and the Hudson Valley beyond.

We are proud to share that in 2023 Eater NY listed us first on a short list of
“NYC’s 22 Essential Barbecue Restaurants”.

Our meats are smoked fresh daily and served dry rub.
Prime Beef Brisket, Carolina Pulled Pork, St. Louis Ribs, Free Range Chickens, Smoked Chicken Wings, and Andouille Sausage make up our daily selection of meats. Every meal comes with our famous, homemade OG ‘cue sauce on the side.

And speaking of sides... ours are made fresh daily.
Some are traditional, others are creative takes... but none, absolutely none, are ever dull.

We’re open for lunch and dinner.
And don’t forget to pick a homemade dessert and a cool beverage, including our wicked selection of low & slow inspired beers and wines.

The woman is standing near the window and wearing a brown coat, while the man is sitting on a stool, wearing a dark jacket. The restaurant signage and a chalkboard menu are visible in the window, and the scene appears to be on a sunny day.

Owners: Alberta and Hassan Jarane
