The staff were so helpful and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, and i loved that they had multiple gluten-friendly options as well as options without dairy! Highly recommend for great BBQ in Philly!

We tried the brisket, smoked chicken, and smoked buffalo wings, along with mac and cheese, half-sour pickles, and cornbread on the side.

The wings were absolutely outstanding—perfectly smoky with just the right amount of heat. All the meats were incredibly juicy and flavorful, with spices that were spot-on. The atmosphere added to the experience, featuring rustic wooden tables and chairs that gave the place a warm, inviting feel.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves quality barbecue in a relaxed setting.

Prefacing this to say I lived down South for over 25 years but this was really not a great experience. Went with my family (5 total). Not opposed to the low key, help yourself kind of vibe but this was the bare minimum - paper towel holders on table, grab your own cutlery and water. The decor reminded me of Dickie's BBQ (Southern BBQ restaurant) with the quirky Butcher-meat themed wall paper and distressed wood aesthetic. Ordered the Family option with soft drinks. Included was the Brisket, Pulled Pork, Sausage and Ribs plus a portion of all the sides. We ordered the Deviled Eggs as an add on. Everything was a disappointment. Brisket and Pulled Pork were flavorless - barely registered as BBQ. The ribs were charred and dry. The sides were super disappointing as well. Potato salad was heavily drenched in vinegar and oil as was the Broccoli Salad. The only decent side was the Mac and Cheese. The Deviled Eggs were overpowered by vinegar and truly disappointing. The rolls and cookies were prepackaged and look like they were picked up at ShopRite. All in all? Extremely underwhelmed. Maybe this plays for the Fishtown crowd, but I wouldn't waste my money on sub-par food like this again.

Have ordered multiple times for delivery, always impressed. The pulled pork and pork belly were fantastic. Burnt end baked beans never disappoint and if I could afford 2,000 cornbread muffins I think I could survive off solely them. Staff has always been accommodating with special requests which I could not be more thankful for.

A bit expensive for what they offer- I’m choked I paid $5 for one cornbread muffin. That’s bogus.

Different Cheesesteak’esque sandwich #1238. I went at happy hour. I miss happy hour. $8 burnt ends sandwich. $7 Old Fashion. You know I love those prices. I love the decor. The sandwich comes with spicy slaw. I am spicy adverse, and I liked this slaw. It was more flavorful than spicy. I liked the Fette Sau sweet sauce. You gotta love a nice soft potato roll. Good day to be me.

Unique barbecue spot in the city. Close to the Fillmore. We both got the brisket sandwich. The flavor was spectacular, just a little fatty for our liking. The Mac and cheese was divine. The chocolate chip cookie was okay. Overall, we would recommend dining here.

I am a big fan of Stephen Starr restaurants and am glad that I chose this one as my next one to try. The food here is delicious, and the customer service was great. I had the brisket, mac and cheese, deviled eggs, and cornbread.

Ordered via DoorDash. Got a bunch of small sides and meat variety — was PLENTY for two people (we’ve been eating it for 3 days lol). Only downside was the brisket; 3/4 of the entire thing was fat and was inedible unfortunately so for $17 it was a bit disappointing. Everything else was great though. And the half sour pickle!!!! Hard to find around here they are my favorite. Picture of the monstrosity attached haha

The driest, most depressing pulled pork I’ve ever encountered. Just look at it.
