Review The Rib Stand - Philadelphia

Colin McPeck

This was a highlight of my time in Philadelphia. The food was some of the best I've had. It was also very cheap. The guys that were working there were very nice and chill. 10/10 would recommend.

we had the bbribs delicious and if you ask they'll even slice them for you, the Mac and Cheese is one of the best I've had very creamy and flavorful

Fall off the bone baby backs. Had a delicious mild sauce that went well with the ribs. Mac n cheese is highly recommended along with a side of green beans. Reasonable prices and you can add by weight more meat or sides to your combo if you desire. Outstanding and friendly service!

I’m from Memphis (THE BBQ CITY) and I loved their ribs! I got extra sauce; it wasn’t too sweet or too vinegar-y. I loved it and would definitely go back when I’m in the city. Owner and staff was really nice too. No complaints. Shoutout to Glicks for giving Philly a good BBQ reputation lol

Great sandwich, green beans, and potato wedges. Seasoned perfectly, and the sauce was a delicious touch, but the meat was so tender it didn't even need it. I went into Reading Terminal Market looking for lunch, open to anything. Glick's didn't have a long line, so service was very quick and they were kind. For the price, this meal was absolutely worth it. I'd buy again.

The ribs here are excellent but it’s the spicy bbq sauce that steals the show. I could drink it by the pint. I am still dreaming about it weeks later!

Ribs were ok, Mac and cheese could not be more bland if you try. Zero discernible flavor. Added some spicy BBQ sauce so it didn’t taste like cardboard.

SO GOOD!!! The spare ribs are mouthwatering, the mac and cheese was delicious and peppery, and the potato wedges were beautifully seasoned! The cashier was so kind and allowed me to switch out the combo’s drink for a cornbread (also so tasty!). Highly highly recommend!!

This is one of my go to spots whenever I visit the Reading terminal. Their pulled pork sandwiches are delicious. Definitely would recommend if you love BBQ pork!

The ribs were very good, if I had only gotten that I might have given a 5. The green beans and wedges were good, but my lord the Mac & Cheese. I'm going to need them to take it straight off the menu, because franky I'm concerned. Had a sour, almost relish taste. Possibly where it's stored next to. But also it just felt like velvetta cheese. Some people like that, however I have taste buds and found it an affront to the senses.

This place was great. Employees were great and really nice and the ribs were incredible. The potato wedges and the Mac n cheese was great. I have never loved a restaurant so much when it was my first time ever having it. I love this place so much.

I have been buying ribs from Glick Rib Shack for years and have been very pleased with the ribs. Everytime I have a party the first thing everyone asks is if I am getting the ribs Glick Rib Shack because they love love the ribs

I had the rib combo platter. The ribs are good but lost a star since the sides are not good. The mac and cheese is not good and the green beans taste like something I ate when I was in public elementary school. The sides need work. The meats are fine but stay away from the sides.

The ribs were perfect. I had the baby back ribs and potato wedges were wonderful. Best bbq in the northeast!

I've eaten ribs from Dwight's, The Rib Crib, and local juke joints all over Philly-----THESE AMISH FOLK KNOW HOW TO BBQ OLD SCHOOL. I'm a Black woman with southern roots, I know how to do some ribs. THIS KITCHEN IS EXCELLENT! Tender, juicy, spicy but not overwhelmingly hot, flavorful smokey rub on the meat....sometimes I don't even use the sauce. The ribs are THAT delicious! After the Pandemic/Quarantine and when SEPTA got their act kinda back together, Glick's Rib Shack was the first place I visited to feel happy, remember good moments, to support a business I love and to finally find an establishment that has not lost its touch since all the chaos. Most of my old haunts have closed or staff/service/quality just deteriorated. but GLICK'S is STILL AWESOME. Their string beans and potato wedges are yummy too, lol.

+ ribs were tasty + mild sauce was good + reasonable prices, small portions available

Javier Fernandez

The most wonderful and tasty meal I ever had. The pulled pork is simply delicious. It's a must go place.

Andrew Hurth

The pulled pork was great, throw a little of the hot BBQ sauce on there and you are eating well. The mac can be a little too runny for my liking but overall for the price you pay this is a good quick meal. Very delicious and very friendly staff mean you’ll have not only a great meal bit you’ll have a great experience when you visit Glick’s.
