31 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Havertown

“We’ve been to Sophie’s when it was in Ardmore. I was excited to see that they reopened in Havertown. They’re located near Haverford High School on Darby Road. There’s street parking. I’m glad I made reservations because it was crowded when we arrived at 12:30. I’m not sure of the woman’s name who took care of us but I got the impression that she was one of the owners. She was friendly and welcoming. She gave us some good menu suggestions. We started with the Butterscotch Swirl Cornbread Basket that is served with an apple butter and some other butter. It was moist and delicious! More like dessert than an appetizer. We split the Brisket Cheesesteak which was very large so perfect for sharing. The brisket was very tender and the seeded roll was great. My husband said he would’ve preferred a sauce on there because he thought it seemed dry. My sons had the pork belly burnt ends and grilled shrimp cubano. They have Coke products. They also have alcoholic beverages but we didn’t try them this time. It’s a casual and homey vibe at Sophie’s.“

“Food was delicious and priced extremely reasonably. We loved the bbq short ribs.“

“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.“

“Shout out to Tanglewood for fixing an Uber driver’s mix up. Someone from Tanglewood personally delivered the right order to us. The ribs, brisket sandwich and chips are 👌🏻“

“The whole staff was friendly. The food was awesome. A gentleman who was I believe a supervisor or a manager. Came over after we finished. Thanked me for my service. Chatted with us about the history of mission bbq. He made us feel welcome.“

“Sandwiches and entrees were very good. Some sides were not great. Green beans too salty. Baked beans too sweet. Unnecessary sugar on cornbread, already yummy without.

Vegetarian options: Veggie sandwich was very good. Garden something.“

“Everything they have is really tasty and good quality products! Friendly environment and welcoming service! The corn bread was amazing too! We had enough meat to make sandwiches for 2 people & 3 meals! Absolutely delicious! My pictures don’t do it justice, but we will be back for the brisket sandwiches! Don’t miss it out!
💯 recommended!“

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

“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!“

“The best thanksgiving meal I’ve ever had. See you at X-mas. Brisket that doesn’t need sauce. Stuffing and Mac n chs that blew my mind. Corn bread that I have to stop myself from eating. It’s so good I could eat just that for a meal. Wow. Thank you very much. Really made our work holiday great“

“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....☺️“

“excellent meal, fantastic service, and lovely atmosphere. really enjoyed the french lamb chops! they were out of this world. what a marinade they must use! Other favorites included the garlic cheese naan, the veggie samosas, and of course the butter chicken. It is rich, smooth, and delicious. and don’t forget a mango lassi!!!“

“The only other spot that I'm aware of the does wood charcoal Korean bbq is Kim's Restaurant( Kim's BBQ) in the Olney section of North Philly. The prices here at Nagwon Garden are way more affordable. Wood charcoal adds a nice flavor to the meat. Most other places use either electric or gas table grills. The other thing is, when you call them, the lady answers in Korean. They don't advertise that they use wood charcoal in English, only in Korean. So you know it's an authentic and legit experience! Take it from a Korean person.“

“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.“

“Beat Ribs and Sides in the city.“

“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“

“Always Great Food!!!!!!!!“

“Best in the city ������������������“

“This is my new favorite place. Everything I've tried has been amazing. Birria pizza, beef and chicken birria tacos, fish tacos, chips, guacamole, everything! The loaded steak nachos are to die for! Even my big eater could only eat 2 tacos so the food really does last days.“

“It was fun trying different kind of brewed beer on tap. You can choose 4 kinds of beer from the menu. I like light beer and enjoyed light lager and pilsner ❤️
Burger was so juicy and so tasteful. Also there's no sports blaring on TV so you can enjoy conversation. Pizza was so good including the dough so I ate all the crust. I'll definitely come back here often?“

“First time trying Korean bbq. Our waitress Esther was super sweet and explained everything to a T. The marinated beef and chicken were tasty and the short rib she suggested was delish. We’ll definitely be returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“karaoke night be popping!“

“fantastic cornbread, love the inspired chocolate cake/mousse taco thing.“

“Outstanding!!!! We loved our brisket and pork rib platters. Great sides— baked beans, slaw, Mac and cheese and greens. And such generous portions we both have leftovers. Two thumbs up! We’ll be back, for sure 😋“
