36 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Upper Darby

“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.“

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....☺️“

“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.“

“I'm not sure what others do to hate this place so much, but I go on a fairly consistent basis, and I've been over 10 times now within the last 3 years. Most recent was a few days ago on my birthday. Every server we've ever had has always been extremely nice. Maybe a bit of a language barrier sometimes, but nothing a little patience can't get through. The cost of everything is insanely high right now, so the fact I can eat as much as I want of ANYTHING for under $50 is a pretty good deal in my opinion. What finally made me leave a review now, is that it makes me sad to see such nasty reviews, as my most recent experience was my favorite. Their kimchi is my favorite, and when we were done ordering meat, we asked if we could yet just a little more kimchi, I told her because it's the best ? she said of course, and brought over an entire chunk, cut it right in front of us, and put some in containers for us to take home. It was so sweet, and as minor as it may sound, it really made my day. That being said, if you're turned off by the prices, or don't have the patience to take a little extra time to communicate with someone, save them your attitude and go somewhere else.“

“My lovely wife and I went there our first time today. We order the brisket cheesesteak plus a player of ribs, man & cheese, collard greens along with the sweet potatoes with pecans. The food was of the chain! The sweet potatoes were nothing liked we have tasted before! We ate the whole portion on our way home. The staff was very friendly. We give this pace 5 stars!“

“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 👌🏻“

“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.“

“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.“

“Beat Ribs and Sides in the city.“

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

“Best in the city ������������������“

“Best Korean restaurant in SE Pennsylvania.“

“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!!!!!!!!“

“I was visiting family in the area when they told me about this hidden gem and they were truly the best tacos I've ever had we ordered the birria beef tacos and they were so incredibly good for sure a must try!!!“

“Toska (Töska?) is a laid-back two-storey restaurant in what I would say is the main drag (or village center) of Mount Airy. The décor is simple, spare, and there are attractive blown-glass-looking accents strung on cables. The server was quite friendly, which in Philadelphia is not a given. We ordered eggplant parmesan sitting atop fettuccine in the requisite marinara sauce, which my husband liked a great deal, and a Wagyu burger on brioche, which was surprisingly good: the bacon was done exactly right, not sliced too thickly, and the burger was medium-rare as I had asked. French fries are decent, certainly abundant, but they're a little flaccid (they are, however, "real" fries, not the heated-up deep-freeze variety we see so often). A salad with cucumber and fennel and small tomatoes was perfect, as was the burrata on a bed of arugula with slightly roasted small tomatoes and a vinaigrette. I like a slightly more room-temperature burrata and one that is a bit less firm, but this one was fine. The ambience is good, except that the much-touted wood-burning oven perfumes the entire restaurant a little more than it should. Also, it would be good to have sparkling bottled water on the menu.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“amazing food, good prices and great people.“

“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!“

“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“

“karaoke night be popping!“

“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! 💯“

“Well as the former DJ for “Truth Social Club” formerly “Ginn’s”….. I gotta say it was actually nice to return for a visit… The food was good, the barmaids are nice….didn’t get to see Brenda the owner, but DJ Bang went to work on that music…..“

“Best Veggie Chow Mein I've had since moving to Philadelphia. The food here is great period. The service is awesome and he really makes sure you know what your ordering if you don't. The atmosphere is calm and clean . 10 outta 10 for me and is definitely my go to place when I want good food .

Vegetarian options: there are some veggie options

Kid-friendliness: good American food for kids“

“ribs are great!!! sides are generous portion size. Great customer service. I will be back!!!“

“Everything was delicious! Didn't cost much to upgrade side salad to Signature strawberry pecan - full of other fruits too. Salmon was crisp on the outside and so tender on the inside. Husband loved the filet. Even the bread was warm and tasty. And not to be outdone by the competition, they had a great "Texas Tonion" which was similar to a "bloomin' onion" and just as good. Prices were so reasonable, too, even in this era of inflation. Highly recommend!“
