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

100 wings must have

by CSMobileUser

this place deserves 6 stars. If you like food you must eat here before you die. Super delicious tender juicy mouth watering everything you would want from BBQ. Me and my buddies order their 100 wings( BBQ) for $36 and crush them for any excuse we have to get them. The meat is tasty delicious and falls off the bone. Phoebe's will go in my book of all time places one must eat at and you can trust me because I Love Food!

Good food, rude service

by illadelph

I am so disappointed because I always loved Phoebe's food but the last couple times I called to order the guy who answered was not friendly at all. Even though their menu says they will deliver to any part of the city for $1, they won't deliver unless you have a big order. They also refused to take a credit card (even though the menu says they take credit cards) for a big order because it was too far away....South Street to South Philly. I think it may be under new ownership the past couple of years. They kept the recipes but boy did the service go down the drain. Customer satisfaction is not a concern. Rude.

• Pros: The food
• Cons: The guy who takes your orders

Great BBQ

by fish0208

You wont be dissappointed when you order from this great take out BBQ restaurant. The food is consistant ly great and the service is on point. There is something for everyone on the menu! It is so affordable and much easier then cooking! You can get take out or delivery and have home cooked meal without the mess and time. I dont know what I would do without Phoebe's BBQ! Don't miss out, order from Phoebes!!!

• Pros: Taste, Variety of Menu, Timeliness of service for take out or delivery, Staff

it's great!!!

by sdot1

went ther last weekend and it was great! i couldn't believe how clean the place was and how fresh the meat and sides were as well. Im not a big fan of east coast bar-b-q, but these dudes do it right.

• Pros: great food and fast
• Cons: ask for extra sauce and im from the south so a little cheaper would be good

If you have never eaten here before, you should!

by rcheadle

Phoebe's is the best thing that could have happened to Philadelphia! I live right down the street from

the restaurant and eat there at least twice a week! The food is amazing and there is not one thing on the menu that isn't to die for. Being from the South, I know what good BBQ is, and Phoebe's tops the list of the best BBQ in Philadelphia. The food is very authentic and reasonably priced. Everyone needs to try this place; you won't be dissapointed!

• Pros: Flavor, Service, and Price
• Cons: None

This Bar-B-Q restaurant is the best Bar-B-Q food I have ever had. Each item on the menu is as good as the next. You can count on great, fast service when you call in or pick up from here. The quality of the food is outstanding. The staff is extremely friendly, personable and helpful. If you are looking to take out you must order from here! The food is amazing!!!

• Pros: Service, Food Quality, Staff, Taste, Cleanliness
• Cons: This place is great there are none!

BEST BBQ AND MAC & CHEESE EVER!!!!!!!!!

by JRoot1007

Best BBQ not only in Philly but that I have ever eaten!! The mac & cheese is by far my favorite. The sweet corn bread a close second. I have constant cravings for the mac & cheese : ). I am not sure what the reviewer right before me is talking about with service; I have always received friendly fast service every time I have been there and highly recomend Phoebes to anyone traveling to Philly! Also, I know both the owners personally and they are the exact opposite of digusting. They are both very hard working, kind people who have put a lot of time and pride in this restaurant, and it shows in their cleaniness, professionalism and attention to detail in all aspects of the restaurant, and best of all; it's THE BEST DAMN BBQ I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: Food
• Cons: N/A
