“The closest I can get to Korea in Philly!!! After living in KR for a year, I am always on the hunt for real Korean food that hits like back home and this is it. We got the stir fried pork and kimchi (김치제육볶음) and the hot stone bibimbap (돌솥비빔밥) and they were incredible. The kimchi and pork were so tender and flavorful. The owner is so sweet, she served us, chatted with us in Korean, and gave us extra hot sauce for the bibimbap!! Of all the Korean places I’ve been to in the US, this may be my number one. Cannot wait to come back!“

“I can say confidently that Wilson's Secret Sauce brisket is FIRE!!
Visiting PA all the way from Florida we have great b-b-q back home and Wilson's is no less. I shipped some of their delish Wilson's Secret Sauce & my son is asking for more!!
No wonder Wilson's has won awards!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have previously had several things on the regular menu and truly enjoyed everything I’ve had. The Cajun is mouthwatering delish, the Reuben cheesesteak and the Liberty beef are both superb! The burnt ends on Thursdays are a real treat! Last week for vacation I ordered trays of the blackened chicken in a creole cream sauce and it was AMAZING!! Absolutely delicious and thank you for such a wonderful meal!! Do yourself a favor and get to Tanglewood!!“

“The mother clucker sandwich was flavorful, fresh tasty. The jerk sauce on it was good too just a tad too spicy (for me). The cheese fries i didnt care for the cheese on them. If in the area i will try them again (a different sandwich with less spicy). Overall solid 4 stars.“

“I dined in with a friend last evening and it was my first visit. Literally, the only word I have is WOW. The space is beautiful, the whole vibe is awesome. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. The food was spectacular- I had the burger and fries and it was the best burger I’ve ever had! We also had the sweet potato hush puppies- which were phenomenal! I’d also like to add, as a non drinker, I appreciated that all of the drinks on the menu were available “unleaded” as the waitress called it. Such a gem in Delco- I’ll be back with friends and family!“

“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.“

“A real smokemaster! Highly recommend that you spend a few minutes with the owner when you pick up your barbecue. He's happy to share his ideas and suggestions. As a barbeque smoker myself, there's nothing I like more than talking with someone who's made a business and life of it.“

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

“Tom knows what he is doing he is an accomplished pit master and Big Daddyz has the best food in Delco ! They also offer some nice catering packages You WILL NOT be disappointed!“

“We had the brisket, pulled pork & ribs tonight. All were on point!! Sooooo delicious“

“My family and I stopped in today and the food was amazing! We cannot say enough about the service and owner they were beyond wonderful. Looking forward to going back soon.“

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

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

“Fantastic food for a great price!“

“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!!!“

“I brought my brother-in-law in to eat on Thanksgiving afternoon (we had to delay Thanksgiving dinner at our houshold and, since he lives in a care facility, that unfortunately left him without getting with famly on a very important day. So, I went out to eat with him.) He really enjoyed it, but then he began having some minor but very disturbing health issues as he was eating. It really disrupted our meal and we had to scurry out quickly. The staff and the servers at this restaurant were so very kind and extremely patient and helpful (our server, Sonny, was especially good to us, particularly to my brother-in-law.) Thank you ever so much! I do hope I left enough of a tip to express my appreciation (I was running out the door in order to attend to my brother-in-law's needs). The food was wonderful, by the way.“

“Everything we get from Toro's BBQ is delicious! 😋 They have the BEST birria tacos (beef & chicken) that come with the tastiest consomme! The Birria pizza is amazing too, so full of meat! Worth every penny! We've also tried the BBQ chicken platter and the Cilantro Lime rice and these were also great! We love that they're open until 10:00, but call early bc the word is out how good their food is! Take-out only! 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Always Great Food!!!!!!!!“

“Best 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“

“Beat Ribs and Sides in the city.“

“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?“

“Best Korean restaurant in SE Pennsylvania.“

“Stopped today for some BBQ and glad we did! Lived in Philadelphia so we're kind of an aficionado of good BBQ. The BBQ sauce, located on each table, both mild and hot, is wonderful. The brisket was tender, not over cooked. Great prices for some great BBQ. Used to drive out to Famous Dave's for BBQ but now we have a better, in our opinion, BBQ in Food 4 Soule BBQ Restaurant. We'll be back!“

“We have patronized Southern Flames on a few occasions and have enjoyed the food. The food is always seasoned and flavorful with ample portions for the price.

Recently, we ordered takeout for a family dinner. Since we’ve ordered before, we thought it best to call to confirm the whole wings were available before placing an order. We called and confirmed availability. We placed an order over the phone. A few minutes later we received a call noting wings we just ordered was not available. They offered, and we accepted, an alternative dish. We went to pick up the food at which point we were told that yet another protein and a vegetable was not available. They said they could prepare some, but that it would take an hour fifteen minutes. It was pretty disappointing, especially since we had just spoken and confirmed the food we ordered was available. Not a great experience - but how Southern Flames handled the issue is why we will continue to support. Though we had a long wait, they made sure to throw in a lot of extra food on the house to make up for the earlier snafu. They also delivered the food to our waiting car (which given all they gave us was quite a bit). They didn’t have to make an effort to make it right, but they did. Sometimes the best time to judge a place is by how they handle missteps and we were pleasantly surprised by how well southern flames handled this one. Our food was fantastic as usual and we look forward to returning.“

“Everything was great! The food and service was amazing, no complaints. Our part considered moving to the small bar area to take advantage of the happy hour specials but decided not to. Instead we enjoyed the dining room which was comfortable and air conditioned. Bathroom was hot and I guess not air conditioned so that's one opportunity for improvement. I would definitely recommend and return.“

“The food was excellent and good size portions. The chicken was wrapped in tin foil to contain the bbq sauce and prevent the fries from getting soggy. the only thing I would change is romain lettuce instead of ice berg in the Greek salad. Also the tomatoes weren’t ripe at all. Otherwise 10 out of 10.“

“10/19/2024 Tonight, I went with my fiancé to try it out! We had a reservation at 7 pm. We did get there about 10 mins early. We got sat about 5 mins after we arrived. We both did hot pot and kbbq. It’s $5 extra per person when you add the hot pot. Which isn’t bad!! My fiancé got the Japanese miso and I got the Thai Tom yum. We ordered as assortment of food: shrimps for grill and soup, angus steak, short ribs, scallops, chicken bulgogi, onions, zucchini, rice. My fiancé doesn’t really eat red meat, so he went a little light. I always go to kbbq for the short ribs and steak. I tend to order A LOT of short ribs. There’s a sauce bar, fruit/dessert bar, an actual bar, and an ice cream machine. It’s really pretty inside, neat, and clean. They have smoothies, bubble teas, fountain drinks, alcoholic drinks, teas. 8/10 highly recommend!!!“

“Absolutely love this place and a must try for their cheese steaks if your ever in Philly.“

“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…..“

“food is so so so amazing the ribs and chicken don't need bbq sauce it's so gooood I highly recommend. Great customer service from the owners. ❤️“

“Food was so delicious worth the price.“

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

“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 .
