The whole brisket dinner was absolutely superb. Some of the best brisket I have ever had was accompanied by truly fantastic appetizers and a marvelous dessert. Excellent drinks and a great open atmosphere, it was a meal I will remember for quite some time.

Takeout. Pulled pork and mac n cheese.Host was overwhelmed by $20 bill and change, to make my return even bills with no coins. She gave me an oddball about back... not worth walking back to get my 75c.Pork- $9 for about two servings worth, plus pickles and onions packed on top. Plus sauces. Good, tender, barely room temp. Still tasty.Mac n cheese- $6 for FEWER than 10 fork fulls. Packed into container, filling only half the space, looking like the remnants of the last batch, as if they forgot to complete the order. Good, but only memorable for a $3 serving- not $6.Overpriced like most South Street places. Still looking for somewhere worth its prices.

Percy Street let me down.Since my first visit here in 2010, the barbecue didn't pack the same punch. Even our waiter said they're taking a different tack with their barbecue, going for less-traditional, and more... "something". I don't recall his word(s) exactly, but what we found was smaller portions and a disappointingly dry-ish brisket when we asked for moist.On the bright side, I had a wicked glass of "Colonel E.H. Taylor's Barrel Proof Bourbon" - that's 134.5 proof of goodness.

Pretty good, but not great. Service was stellar. Interior is awesome. Meats were fantastic, but all the sides we had werent very good. Pork belly was amazing. Ribs were amazing. Brisket was great. Sides, not so much. Kinda pricey too... for this price, go to Fette Sau instead

I have been here before and even ordered Thanksgiving Dinner from here last year. Heard they are under new management. Larger portions but different taste. I always get beans, these were the best beans by far I have had any where this time. Fries were fat cut potato and brisket sandwich had so much meat. Cornbread was not like the one I had from Thanksgiving, need to have that particular cornbread as a special. Will try biscuits again whilst under new management and see how they taste. That turkey was wonderful Best turkey I ever had, moist and very tasty. And I have had plenty of Thanksgiving turkey only thing was close was turkey breast I made. So back to dinner, server Andre was was nice and answered questions. SMELLED like BBQ smoke and deliciousness up in there this time. Not like before. BTW bathroom needs paper towel dispenser.😃

Classic Texas style BBQ place. I love that they ask you what style of brisket you want. The sides are mediocre especially regarding value which is the main reason for the minus one star. I would go back though when in Philadelphia.

The Que here is ridiculous! I never thought I'd find BBQ this good in Philly. Clearly I was wrong, crazy good!

The food here was decent. The ribs, brisket, and pork belly were really good. I wasn't a huge fan of the sides. The corn bread was a bit dry, the beans could've had some more meat, the coleslaw was good, but the potato salad I was no fan. If you're in the area and hungry, stop on in. Just skip the sides.

Best BBQ I have had in the city, there are some other solid spots up North, but this is probably the best you will find within the city

I'm a bit of a BBQ snob, but I thought the food was quite good. The brisket especially, it's one of the few good places around here that actually does it well. Very contemporary take on it, like serving pork belly with a cured egg yolk, and spicing the chicken with cinnamon and cumin. Staff was friendly. I thought the portions were a little small, though.

Great spot in Philly for BBQ. It's hard to find real BBQ, but this place does it right. They have the smokers in house, and you can see them pulling out the meats. I had the brisket which was great. The cornbread side was amazing, but only while it's fresh

Great BBQ! the brisket is so buttery soft, it melts in your mouth. The BBQ fries are amazing as well.

Good place, it's 4 stars because the food took very long to get to our table. We ordered the ribs and the Brisket.The Brisket was really tasty , but the ribs were awesome. Delicious.

The pulled pork sandwich is awesome and the bbq fries with brisket and cheese is good too
