43 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Philadelphia

“The brisket here is nothing short of phenomenal — tender, smoky, and possessing that perfect pink smoke ring that signals true pitmaster craftsmanship. But don't stop there. They are smoked to absolute perfection, falling off the bone with just the right amount of resistance, while the pulled beef achieves that elusive melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes you close your eyes with every bite ​.
One standout that deserves special mention: the Mac and cheese bit too much gravy but the spicy crunchy chips mash well together with the unforgettable flavor..“

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

“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“

“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.“

“We ordered the Easter feast and it was spectacular! Our guests were raving about how delicious it was! Greet food as always“

“This is an iconic neighborhood spot. Food is delicious and tastes just like it did when I was a kid in the 80's. Excellent waitress last night who did a terrific job. The ribs, stuffing, burgers, wings and corn muffins are amazing!!!! The space is nothing special but it is nostalgic if you grew up in NE Philly. Its a must try go to spot. We love RIB RACK!!!“

“top meat (beef and pork) just like S Korea and amazing stews just like Korea. A place that's unforgettable with decor matching unforgettable food like Korea! 여기 최고요! 너무 맛있었어요.“

“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.“

“Kim’s Restaurant is one of the best spots for Korean BBQ in Philadelphia. The meats are high quality and really stand out, which makes the prices completely worth it. The staff is attentive and explains the grilling process if you’re new to it, which makes the experience easy and enjoyable. The restaurant is clean, and the tables are set up well for grilling without feeling cramped. Overall, the combination of great food and solid service makes it a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“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!“

“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“

“Our first time here and it was amazing and different from the usual eating out! We will be coming back!“

“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.“

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

“Always delicious! Go eat in with friends or family, it’s a a great deal for the quality and quantity, and great service.

I’ve been here many times and tried at least half the menu. You won’t be disappointed!

The saag paneer, dal makhani, veggie samosas w/ mint and tamarind sauce, and chicken mali kebab are top of my list right now. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“Beat Ribs and Sides in the city.“

“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“

“Amazing drag performers highly recommend“

“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!!!!!!!!!“

“Our first time here and it was amazing and different from the usual eating out! We will be coming back!“

“Great place to hang out with friends.“

“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!“

“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“

“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❣️“

“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“
