50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Bala Cynwyd

“Longhorn’s on City Avenue is always crowded. Last time I was there…late night…the people looked liked Walmart people…I saw Daisy dukes…a young boy with a button down shirt open like he was Don Juan and weird looking people with triple stomachs in tight clothing who didn’t own a mirror. The food was good…service eh…they seemed really busy…I will opt for an earlier time..this isn’t Steak48 for sure…but the bill will be one third of it.“

“I highly recommend the Bacon BBQ, you will not be sorry. I’ve been to other food trucks and this is the best one!“

“This might be the best BBQ in the city and stands up to a lot of the barbecue I've had in the South (specifically the Carolinas).

The people are friendly, the atmosphere is great and the Mac and Cheese is so good that I keep eating it despite being lactose intolerant. What more could you want?“

“What a great find. Everything about this place is exceptional. The food is amazing and so is the service. Don’t hesitate, you will be glad you went !
And don’t leave without trying the takoyaki, they are out of this world !!“

“I highly recommend Mission BBQ to everyone I know. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious ? I stopped in at the Springfield PA. location late Mon. Evening and the staff was wonderful. They are always great, very friendly. They really seem to enjoy their jobs. They have good management and training something that you don't see much anymore. They are all winners. Five stars all the way.“

“You have to have the Alabama Bird! It’s packed with flavor! Won’t disappoint!“

“First time at a mission bbq and I have to say it was amazing. My family and I walked in not really knowing what’s going on and one of the amazing team members walked over and helped us by explaining everything that was on the menu. Forgive me but for the life of me I can’t remember the young man’s name(I wanna say it was Mike) everyone on the team was very helpful and willing to explain everything going on. I’m not from the area. It I will be making the trip back up to eat at this restaurant again!“

“Absolutely amazing Korean BBQ experience! The galbi and beef short ribs were incredible it perfectly seasoned, tender, flavorful, and seriously some of the best Korean BBQ I’ve had. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious.

Gina and the entire staff were nothing short of amazing. They were welcoming, attentive, helpful, and made the whole experience feel special from beginning to end. The service matched the quality of the food, which is hard to find!

Between the delicious food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service, this place is an easy 10/10 for me. I will absolutely be back and will be recommending it to everyone I know. If you’re looking for amazing Korean BBQ, especially the galbi and beef short ribs, GO! You will not be disappointed!“

“Tom knows what he is doing he is an accomplished pit master and Big Daddyz has the best food in Delco ! They also offer some nice catering packages You WILL NOT be disappointed!“

“I absolutely love this kind of food! The place was a bit quiet when I arrived, it was past lunchtime, so that made sense. As soon as I sat down, the staff was very welcoming. Even though there was a bit of a language barrier, the service was still warm and attentive. Watching them cook behind the curtain honestly made the whole experience feel even more special.

Right after my food arrived, the place started to fill up. It’s a small spot, but perfectly located and really charming. The ribs, bok choy, garlic eggplant, and corn were all incredible, seriously, so flavorful. Even though I ordered the mild option, it still had that perfect touch of spice.

Everything was delicious. I’ll definitely be back soon. 谢谢“

“The blackened shrimp is our favorite by far but nothing we ordered let us down, it was all so delicious and flavorful. New favorite spot.“

“I crave food from this place! The family is so nice and genuine. You are not just eating great food you are eating someone's hardwork and passion serving their food.“

“Awesome good. Never seen a happy hour with such great choices and the food was fantastic.“

“Loved the Scranton Fancy Lager and the Smoked Pork Italiano Sandwich!!“

“Incredible service & amazing food. Andy was an outstanding waiter and we had the best time. We'll probably be back next week. GO HERE!!!“

“I had the Ribs and chicken….the signature sauce is the way to go. The greens and Mac and cheese were 🔥 My wife got the brisket sliders and loved them and the potato salad. Our server was super friendly and I almost forgot the cornbread lol amazing. I’m not sure how this place slipped under my fat guy radar 😂“

“Some of the best Indian food in the world (outside of India) is located in the United Kingdom and in this Kingsessing restaurant. Usually, Indian food found in the US tends to be served in a very thick, heavy sauce. This place took me back to the UK joints I loved in 2019 and 2024. The chicken curry sauce was a perfect blend of spices and broth which meshed nicely with the basmati rice and naan. This is my first time eating their food but will certainly not be my last. EXCELLENT JOB!!

Please note that I ordered take out so I have no reviews on the restaurant experience.“

“This spot has the best wings. I have been coming here since the early 2000's. Their menu has expanded and the food has been consistently good. I am there weekly.“

“Tried this spot on a Friday. Ordered the family meal full rack of ribs with 3 sides. Mac & Cheese, Yams , Seasoned Rice, with a drink for $35.00 Everything thing was Delicious, chef's kiss, including the ice tea and lemonade. Chris took care of me. Chris had this southern warm hospitality that you don't see often . I will definitely be back ❤️“

“Came to Fette Sau on 8/3 for the first time. The manager was extremely hospitable and once we told him it was our first time he made suggestions that would give us the best food experience. Service was quick, staff was so friendly and food was absolutely delicious. It started raining when we went to leave, and the manager went to get a lost and found box of umbrellas that hadn’t been claimed in some time, and gave us one so we wouldn’t get wet walking to our car. We will definitely be back to try other menu items and enjoyed our experience very much. Thanks again Fette Sau!“

“Melissa is an amazing class act host the wings are awesome as u am sure all the food is she cares you can feel and see it everyone is friendly great job!!! 5 stars for sure“

“Amazing food! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Run, don't walk to Mike's BBQ. Texas wishes they could outdo Pit Master Jimmy. The brisket cheese steak sandwich was the best cheese steak we ever had and the pulled pork melted in your mouth and home made bbq sauce the perfect sweet tangy topping to go with the sweet fluffy roll The mac and cheese was rich and creamy and the chips perfectly seasoned. Staff was attentive and kind. The environment is chill with a rock soundtrack to vibe to. Can't wait to go back and taste more things on the menu.“

“Babalouie BBQ truck was at work for lunch yesterday. The brisket sandwich is out of this world delicious and the portion was generous enough to have leftovers the next day.“

“The honey soy garlic Korean fried Chicken was some of the best I have ever had, if not the best. The Banchan was very good. The Pickled Chayote and Radish (Mu) were the stars for me. The Kimchi was good, but a little too spicy for me (I should've put in on the grill and cooked it a bit). The corn-cheese sausage as amazing. The Brisket was amazing. Pork belly was very good too, but I wish they had some Shiso or Red Leaf, so I could make a ssam. The ssamjang was very doenjang forward. Not sure if they have more than one type, but I prefer mine with more gochujang. Overall, Pocha Street is a must try.“

“Enjoying my lunch The atmosphere is beautiful the food delicious the host was amazing and the place was nice and clean a place where you go and enjoy your company the food and don’t forget the cold beverages the strawberry lemonade is unbelievable“

“Best Korean BBQ in Philly hands down! Don’t sleep on this place — food is excellent, not to mention the service. We got bulgogi BBQ and my mind was blown. Extremely attentive staff as well that help out with the BBQ and refill the banchan. Had my birthday dinner here and I can’t wait to go back — highly recommend!“

“It was a early afternoon lunch for my wife and I as we had business in the area and we decided on Wilson's and what a surprise right from the start the location was great the inside decor was exceptionally really nice clean and fitting for a barbecue restaurant the atmosphere and service was great as well a big shout out and thanks to Kelly our server who was more than gracious in making sure we were taking care of as for the food I hand the brisket cheese steak I highly recomened trying its a winner ! My wife had the brisket tacos she loved them both were coupled with the secret barbecue sauce which is a standout we had two orders of wings and fried pickles for our appetizers both had great flavor and were well made some of the best that I've had any were .. I definitely recomened giving Wilsons a try if you love barbecue like I do . Thanks Wilsons catch you next visit....☺️“

“im loving the veggies and baked beans . best meatloaf ever!!!!! excellent bbq😋“

“I went there and ordered the baked turkey wing with cabbage and collard greens. The service was good. The man was friendly.. The food was very good and yummy if you want good food, you should go there and it’s a good price and serving sizes.“

“I been meaning to try this place for the longest. I place my order via phone. I got the shrimp, rice with string beans something simple. I forgot what type of sauce I got but It was good you really didnt need it because the rice was full of favor. The shrimp was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the long string beans and the mushrooms. The wait wasn't bad because I place my order over the phone. When I got there my food was ready but the atmosphere wasn't good. It was a man in there smoking a pipe. The employees tired to get him out but he didn't move but they did call police but the police didn't show up by the time I left. Its not the employee fault. I would try it again.“

“Best Korean restaurant in SE Pennsylvania.“

“Great bbq. Family friendly. A wonderful space for friends. Very great prices. The sloppy doc & St. Louis are my favorites“

“amazingly tender and tasty baby back ribs-- and their BBQ sauce is a smoky delight. i recommend the meat highly, and felt the price was reasonable!“

“Food was great, not sure if effort was put into it because of the 4th but I pray that the consistency of the food and service stays the same. Sometimes I really try to support black owned business and down the road things change either the doors are open whenever, out of food and quality has changed these are just a few. But I'm not going to stop supporting until I'm given a reason. So for now everything is a go on my way there come on out and support“

“Beat Ribs and Sides in the city.“

“My friends and I love eating here. Always good food. Always good service.“

“Food was delicious!! Tomahawk was amazing and tender“

“I've loved their bbq filet mignon & spicy boneless chicken with jerk sauce for years but unfortunately I can no longer afford them. To get 1 of each of these platters with tax, delivery & tip took the total close to $70. I don't know when I'll get their food again. Super super bummed about it.“

“Have had quite a few of their items and delish every single time. Highly recommend this place. Always going to be a stopping g point before or after the game“

“Went to China Town today looking for Peking duck. We came across this restaurant and decided to try it. I was not disappointed! This might very well be the best Peking Duck I have ever eaten! We will be back for sure! The customer service was outstanding as well!“

“Best in the city ������������������“
