45 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Philadelphia

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

“You can smell the place up the block as you approach. Great home made sauce and a slow cook method that makes it worth coming down for. Brisket was just the right balance of meat to fat for flavor. Question mac, you could have seconds and call that your meal.“

“Good place if you are craving skewers. They have a lot of options. I'd reorder all the skewers I tried except for rice cake and fish tofu. The honey rice cake in appetizer is way too sweet, I'd not recommend. I have mixed feelings about the rice noodle and quail egg under foil grill. It's numbing spicy but the seasoning is okay. The noodles is chewy and quail egg is all right. It has bean sprouts and naba cabbage. I probably won't re-order cuz I would prefer more space for skewers. The restaurant is pretty small.“

“I have been coming here for almost 25 years. The food is exceptional! We drive over 45 minutes for the ribs. It's always a struggle choosing between bbq chicken, beef, or pork ribs. So we usually get some of each! Coming to RibRack, I know I won't be disappointed paying for food that wasnt good.“

“My brother and I (both Korean) thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Mr. Pig! We’ve been to countless Korean BBQ spots, and honestly—this might just be the best one in town. The food was incredible (their ssamjang? Top tier!), and the vibe was even better. We got a good laugh from the wall art—seeing IU casually placed among historic icons was such a fun touch.

But the real highlight? The amazing 이모님s (auntie servers). Warm, attentive, and full of personality. 10/10 recommend just for them alone!

And to my fellow Americans: if you’ve never had naengmyeon before, this is how it’s supposed to taste. Don’t ask them to change what’s already perfect.“

“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.“

“I went to Dienner’s on the recommendation of an acquaintance. It was absolutely delicious! I tried the original rotisserie wings and the smoked wings. The rotisserie were good, but the smoked wings were so good that I went back after finishing them and bought a pound to take home to DC. Don’t miss this spot in Reading Terminal. You’ll be sorry!“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Everything was so fresh and the servers helped us cook our meats. So many sides and options! Pricey, but worth it every once in a while in our opinion. Loved it!

4 for atmosphere because it was a little loud and the ventilation wasn’t great for such a small restaurant.“

“Ribs were some of the best I have ever had. So moist and tender and falling off bone. The service, however, left something to be desired. Cashier was friendly but everyone else I'd describe as surly and unfriendly. We got a number but after 15 minutes we were still sitting with no food. Husband went up and was told they would bring it out to table by a lady who sounded annoyed. After another few minutes he went up again and was told it wasn't ready but he saw an order sitting there. It was our order and no one brought it out. We also went into the bar area by mistake and were admonished by the bar tender. I'd go back for the ribs but certainly not for the service.“

“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.“

“The ribs tasted like lighter fluid....won't eat there anymore“

“my platter was fine. I got a shrimp, chicken and beef platter but ordered mixed veggies instead; I’m assuming the platters normally comes with rice . The meat was good, the veggies were cooked perfect but I didn’t like that there were diced onions mixed with the peas carrots & corn (in addition to the grilled peppers and onions). The grilled onions and peppers were fine but didn’t like the extra diced onions. I’d definitely go back, just would probably stick to whatever normally comes with the platter (unless they offer grilled veggies instead of the peas/carrots/corn/diced onions)platter was made in timely manner (less than ten minutes) despite them being pretty busy when I went (around 2pm), the girl who took my order was nice.“

“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!“

“Beat Ribs and Sides in the city.“

“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!!!“

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

“I bought my CopperZap the middle of January and even though I have been around people who have had the flu, I have remained healthy. A few times I have felt like I was getting sick, I used the CopperZap the way it is recommended and a few hours later I felt fine! I also have used it as a prevention when at a conference or around a lot of people. So far so good! It is cheaper then one visit to the doctor's office plus no time off of work to recover! Love it!!“

“Always Great Food!!!!!!!!“

“อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ ชอบสลัดอร่อย บริการเร็ว พนักงานบริการดี อาหารอร่อย 🫶🏻🥓🥢🥙“

“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“

“Brought the family to Long Shot BBQ for dinner and we all loved it! The kids devoured the sliders and fries, while I couldn’t get enough of the brisket and sausage. Everything tasted fresh and smoky with tons of flavor. Great food, friendly folks, and a fun, relaxed vibe. We’ll be back for sure! 💯“

“Has no idea this placed existed until today. Customer service was amazing from the returned phone call to walking me to my car with my food.
I ordered Ribs, Chicken, Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese and Corn Bread. 10 outa 10 across the board. Everything was delicious. I will be back again“

“While our food was excellent, the service was terrible. No refills. Dropped our food and walked away. Didn’t ask if we needed anything else. Maybe our server was having an off night but when at other tables it didn’t appear so“

“Food is delicious and a great price. Amazing service and love this add on to south street.“

“Actually, it was my girlfriend who introduced me to Korean food since she likes them, but I tell you my first experience was awesome. The waitress, don’t remember her name was very kind and helpful as she assisted us through selection and preparing the Korean food. At first everything was new to me, but after I got my first taste of the Korean BBQ and hot pot, it felt like “man, you gotta come back?.”
The diner was quite expensive but worth the price as you get to choose whatever you want. Would recommend this for a group, like a family. But if it is you alone or you and someone else, get the lunch. But I will keep coming back!! Good food and good customer service ?.“

“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“

“DELICIOUS BBQ!!! I'm a person who is perfectly happy eating simple meals at home, but after trying Nicks one day when I was having a BBQ craving (also because a menu was put on my door. It worked fellas, lol). It was so good that I ordered again the very next day, which I have never done with any restaurant. Call the place for delivery before using a 3rd party service, its worth it. Great prices and the food has always arrived piping hot. Don't know how ya do it fellas, keep it up!“

“My cousin and I were looking for a spot that was in between my suburban Philly home & her S.Jersey location. We asked Google for a great restaurant in Fishtown & they sent us here. WAY TO GO GOOGLE!! We shared 2 incredibly yummy & imaginative sandwiches (a phenomenal crabcake & a grilled goat cheese). Both were accompanied by delicious sides (fresh Caesar salad and fantastic fries). Sam was our server extraordinaire. Highly recommended that PHANTASTIC PHILLY PHIND!! We will be back❣️“

“This was my first time at a Hot Pot. My daughter has been wanting to try it and my friend goes there a lot and she recommended it. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice n patient. It was so much to choose from. The location is peaceful and not far so I will be going often. I recommend to try the soup because you can create anything you want! They just keep bringing things as you ask for it. I will try the other foods I see on this fb page it all looks delicious!“

“I attended a recreational employee dinner hosted by my boss to lift morale. Most of us never heard of this bar/restaurant. I was intrigued since our company is a high end restaurant in Chestnut Hill. If the owner and former head chef picked it, it must be good, right? HELLZ YEAH!!!!!! The drinks were potent and yummy. The mac & cheese with brisket was sublime!!!!! The grand entrance of the 6ft (?) cheesesteak with fresh cut sweet potato waffle fries were spectacular. SPARKLERS!!!!! The garlic parmesan wings were super. The nachos were on point, light & crips, not stale or greasy. My ONLY disappointment which was shared with another friend at the party were the baby back ribs. We loved the sauce- just right, not too spicy/hot with tangy gooey yummyliciousness. However the ribs themselves were MOSTLY BONE. It was basically use licking the sauce and the few bits of meat off the top. It was hard to even find any separation to cut it to get the meat in between. I wish they offered SPARE RIBS which usually have more tender, juicy meat on the bone. Cause I LOOKED at the menu before ordering the baby backs. Hell, they coulda just put BBQ sauce on the brisket and I would have had a foodgasm. Maybe I'll do that next time on my own. That said, I will definitely go there again but I will never order the ribs. There are so many other perfect food offerings to keep me happy that I ain't mad, LOL. Also, the TVs provided viewer ankles for everyone regardless of where they sat. And the bar stools were COMFORTABLE too. Our waitress was attentive and professional but not aloof. The bartenders helped us out too with friendly responses. I apologize because I forget their names. After all, I was so snookered from the booze, I am happy that I still remembered to give this review. It's 3 days later and I am still thinking about the dinner. Give it a try! Many of us took SEPTA, its easy to get to from bus, subway, regional rail and cost less to PARK in Center City. That said, SEPTA getting ready to go on strike so...... don't care how you get to Tradesman, just TRY IT OUT!!!!!!!!!“
