Cousin's Smokehouse and Burger
Family-run burger spot on Germantown Pike a short hop from Ursinus, smoking Texas-style brisket and beef dino ribs on weekends. Soft serve and homemade pretzels close it out.
Jesse's Barbecue & Local Market
Family-run barbecue joint that's been slow-smoking meat fresh daily in three outdoor wood-fired smokers since 2012. The market side stocks raw honey, hot sauces, jerky, and yes, alpaca socks.
La Cabra Brewing Smokehouse
The Bryn Mawr barbecue arm of La Cabra Brewing, with its own beer list beside the pit. Brisket and baby back ribs come off the smoker, the signature mac and cheese runs four ways, and Wednesdays from 3pm bring 36-hour fermented sourdough pizza.
Makefield's Public House
The clubhouse restaurant at Makefield Highlands, cooking for local diners as much as golfers, with a smokehouse side that runs meats through mesquite, apple-cherry, hickory, or maple. Burgers and fresh-cut fries handle the back-nine appetite.
MeatWagon BBQ
Barbecue counter in the 116 East Broad stalls, smoking brisket and pulled pork sold by the pound. Barbecue runs on a first-come clock, so don't make it a late lunch.
Mesquito Grille
Mesquite-smoked barbecue and craft taps on West State, with a covered patio for the good months. Upstairs there's a rugby room called the Dragon's Lair, which tells you most of what you need to know about the regulars.
Ogyu Japanese BBQ & Bar
Yakiniku on Greenfield Avenue: A5 wagyu and marbled cuts you grill at your own table, priced all-you-can-eat or a la carte, with sake and cocktails at the bar. Friday and Saturday run to 11pm.
SALT Korean BBQ
Korean barbecue that takes its name literally: USDA Prime beef grilled at the table, finished with a lineup of four salts from Maldon to Bolivian Rose. Combo spreads climb to the Superior, a wagyu-ribeye-and-lobster board built for a table of six.
Smokehouse Tavern
The brisket and pulled pork come off a real smoker, stacked on platters with ribs regulars keep coming back for. The surprise is a genuinely good pizza hiding on a BBQ menu, backed by a whiskey list deep enough to keep the bar busy on its own.
Smokin’ Jim’s Roadside Smokehouse
Pulled pork, ribs and mac and cheese out of a takeout window at Edge Hill Tavern. Jim Andruskiewicz and Patricia Delamere have been smoking here since June 2021, and they open one night a week.
Songsan Korean BBQ
Korean cooking on Rittenhouse Place, where the menu runs from a Table BBQ section to dolsot bibimbap, tteokbokki and Korean fried chicken by the six-piece. The $22 KBBQ platter special tops their own best-seller list.
Wister's Barbecue
Pork butts get the house dry rub and smoke overnight, from the crew that took over the old Smoke Daddy's on South Broad. The order to make is the deep-fried brisket mac-and-cheese bites: chopped brisket folded into mac, rolled into balls, panko-breaded, and dropped.
