Great BBQ and Service!!

by cccritic

Reading some of the negative reviews - where do they come from?! I am not easy to please - but Phoebe's passes every test. Most important - the food is delicious and you get so much for the price. It's very clean. Spotless!! Honestly I have never - ever! - seen a take out restaurant that is as clean as Phoebe's. Service is fast and to the point. It's a get in and get out kind of atmosphere... They're not going to kiss your ass... and why should they? They show their appreciation by being consistent with quality and dependable with fast delivery. Plus, they actually remember you and take care of you when you go back for more.

• Pros: Consistent & Delicious BBQ with Fast Service

Roxborough branch has really bad food

by marief7662

I had take out from the Roxborough Umbria Street branch of this restaurant and it was really awful. The beef and pork ribs were so fatty they were barely edible. What a waste of money.

• Cons: Fatty meat, funny tasting greens

Recession maybe?

by PHillydoc

Can i get a hello how are you doing and thanks for coming to our resturante how can we serve you, because with out you the customer we would be out of business. seriously, the entire store all toes guys can kiss my rear. I read the reviews online and begged to challenge them by being extra nice, but I got nothing. No hello, goodbye nothin, jus a freakin grunt and wrinkle of the lip.

oh and more importantly the food, pllllleeeaassee dont waste your time. the beef ribs covered with fat, and skinny like a 2 lb cow. it look almost as if they shaved off the meat and used it for their brisket. i order the half and half thankfully i had chicken to handle my appetite. unfortunately the breast was dry beyond belief. i made it through the meal thankfully with my bottle of sweet baby rays. their sauce overrated watered down brown sugared ketchup mixed with chicken grease.

i assure you im not being to harsh, im jus being honest, to those that like the finer foods, dont waste your time here, go home and watch the cooking channel and prepare a meal for yourself or jus go to the bigger chains. i swear this recession is making mom and pop store owners more rude and the quality of food continues to decrease. this is BULLcowpoo

• Pros: pretty menu
• Cons: the food, and lack of friendliness
