Laurel Dunlap

Amazing place! Home style cooking taken to another level! Try the suicide kings shrimp appetizer and the brisket is a must. The specialty cocktails are also amazing and the cooks are super sociable.

Bre Bonner

The Memphis ribs and the smoked chicken are two very good choices. The greens, sautéed okra and mashed sweet potatoes are also no brainers. However, the pork and beans weren't as good as we expected.

Karli Scott

Come for happy hour from 4-6 during the week and 3-5 on the weekends. They have a great selection of beers on tap . And their pulled pork is my favorite in all of Philly! ????

Eric Smith

Come for lunch as the prices are slashed in half. I had the razorvack which is 1/3 baby back ribs and pulled pork w/one side. A beer will make the meal complete.

Ms Pleasant

The Ho-Down was an excellent choice. Very tender and full of taste. The hush puppies were pretty good as well . Def will be going back to try something else.

Rich

Pretty good BBQ for the North, although there are more authentically southern BBQ places elsewhere in the city . Great happy hour specials .

Eric Scott

I have yet to find something here that isn't delicious. Hands down the best BBQ I've ever had.

Liz Rattray

Great food and bartenders ! Cozy and warm inside if you want to forget it's winter for a bit.

Lindsay Smith

The collard greens are amazing, the mac and cheese .. amazing. Coleslaw .. amazing. Everything here is amazing. That's all.

Service is excellent but it's pretty noisy . Definitely try the hush puppies and get some mashed potatoes !

Emma McTague

Platters are too much food but the mashed potatoes are a must try

Jineen Carcamo

Sweet kick is a favorite, and for good reason! It's delicious and so are the sweet potato fries

Leonard Hanson

Lunch special platter with brisket , smoked link and pulled pork was exceptional.

Sophia H

Pulled pork platter! Baked beans are awesome. Huge portions

Reid Douty

Beef brisket is awesome... Choose the pork and beans over the baked beans for a side.

Sophia H

Blackened catfish was really good! Smoked chicken was pretty good but nothing special. Pre-made chicken at Fresh Grocer tasted better :P

Andrea P

Good shrimp , Mac and cheese , pulled pork . Memphis ribs not quite tender enough though.

Emma McTague

Try all the BBQ sauces at your table with your meal!

James Russell

Try the "MacNow" sandwich : pulled pork , peppers , and cheese with regular and sweet potato fries . Perfect BBQ spot for lunch .

Charley Simpson

The brisket was about as good as@Dicky's in Texas, so not that good. Mac & cheese was good.

Irina

Amazingly delicious! If you're into BBQ , this is the place.

Catfish PO' Boy w/Chicken Smoked Rice .

John Valley

Not good. Went restaurant week on Tuesday at 630pm and was told they were out of ribs ... WTF ... wasted trip. So many options in the area- go somewhere else first. Assistant manager just mumbled.

NostalgiaDeVoce

Take the Fried Catfish over the Blackened. Blackened tastes burned. The corn is cold too

Latifah ✈????

Beef brisket w/Mac and Cheese and a Heineken .

Food is good, but since it's brand new they still have a few kinks to work out.

Debra Beck
