Hands down some of the best food I’ve ever had. HIGHLY recommend to BBQ lovers ! The brisket is tender and full of flavor, and The mac and cheese is AMAZING. I love the fact they use cooper sharp as their cheese of choice. It adds that extra bit of flavor that puts these menu items over the top. The wings are cooked perfectly, with great sauce flavors. Oh and they make their own potato chips !

Wow. I haven’t had much bbq, but this Best of Philly BBQ lives up to the hype. We got the brisket sandwich, the Japanese McRib special, banana pudding, mac and cheese, and cornbread. The brisket is so tender and smokey, crusted with a thick layer of black pepper and spices. Salty with a little kick. I used the mild bbq sauce which is sweet and tangy. It perfectly compliments the salty/peppery/ smoky beef and the acidic slaw . Spicy bbq sauce also came with it. It comes on a super fresh Conshy roll that is strong enough to hold every thing together. Far too often I’ve gotten sandwiches on round rolls that are not fresh. It makes a big difference. And then there’s the banana pudding. It tasted unlike any other banana pudding I’ve had. This is the real deal. The pudding is custardy and creamy. On top is salted caramel, which is executed to perfection, along with sliced bananas and softened wafers at the bottom. A top tier banana pudding. Mac and cheese and cornbread are solid sides. Overall, this is a top tier restaurant in Philly.

We got there an hour after they opened and they were sold out of almost everything. I was not surprised or upset. Still got an order of Korean wings and a Brisket Cheesesteak. Top Tier BBQ, just need to order online next time

We ordered the Korean wings, smoked brisket cheesesteak, and slaw. The cheesesteak was great! Next time I want to try the brisket on its own. The Korean wings tasted asian, but more like hoisin sauce which isn’t Korean. Slaw was very tangy and worked well in between bites of the rest of the food.

Mike’s BBQ is always A+. This was from a recent meal with family, but I have ordered takeout many times and am never disappointed. The brisket and the ribs are my go-tos and as some other reviewers have mentioned, do not sleep on the banana pudding!!

Small joint however the service & food were delicious !!! Everything we tried brisket, ribs, mac & cheese with Gouda, cornbread and smoked wings were very tasty and full of yum yum flavor . We drove from Hamilton NJ and was not disappointed. Mike is very personable and make the environment feel like everybody is family! We will return before football season and I will wear my Steelers sparkly shirt again !

Went here on a food tour of the city. Probably the best place we tried all day. The brisket cheesesteak was amazing and the Korean BBQ wings has great flavor. The sides were good but the best part was the banana pudding for dessert. Insanely good. Definitely worth a stop.
