Mike's BBQ is a hidden gem tucked away near the intersection of 11th and Morris in South Philadelphia. This is by far the best BBQ I've had in Philadelphia. I stopped in between lunch and dinner (2:00 in the afternoon or so). Everything came out quickly. I tried their brisket, pulled pork, ribs, sausage, corn bread, and mac & cheese. Everything was exceptional, but especially the brisket. Good lord that brisket. I barely needed teeth it was so perfectly tender. I'm not even going to comment on the burnt ends, because I have no words...
Go there and try it out! You will not be disappointed!
Ever walk into a place and your mind is already going, “yes, Yes, YES!!!”??? This is what it’s like when you come up to the door of Mike’s BBQ! The delicious aromatic smokiness wafts in your face and you know you’re in for a treat. Picked up 1 1/2 lbs of wings and sides of Mac & cheese and collards. First off, Everything has amazing flavor. The wings were sweet and lightly salted; tender chicken bathed in a wonderful rub. The Mac & Cheese was thick and delicious; I believe it was melted Gouda cheese but I may be wrong. Either way, get some. Can’t wait to try the brisket cheesesteak next!
We got there an hour after they opened and they were sold out of almost everything. I was not surprised or upset. Still got an order of Korean wings and a Brisket Cheesesteak. Top Tier BBQ, just need to order online next time

Wow. I haven't had much bbq, but this Best of Philly BBQ lives up to the hype. We got the brisket sandwich, the Japanese McRib special, banana pudding, mac and cheese, and cornbread. The brisket is so tender and smokey, crusted with a thick layer of black pepper and spices. Salty with a little kick. I used the mild bbq sauce which is sweet and tangy. It perfectly compliments the salty/peppery/ smoky beef and the acidic slaw . Spicy bbq sauce also came with it. It comes on a super fresh Conshy roll that is strong enough to hold every thing together. Far too often I've gotten sandwiches on round rolls that are not fresh. It makes a big difference. And then there's the banana pudding. It tasted unlike any other banana pudding I've had. This is the real deal. The pudding is custardy and creamy. On top is salted caramel, which is executed to perfection, along with sliced bananas and softened wafers at the bottom. A top tier banana pudding. Mac and cheese and cornbread are solid sides. Overall, this is a top tier restaurant in Philly.
Hands down some of the best food I've ever had. HIGHLY recommend to BBQ lovers ! The brisket is tender and full of flavor, and The mac and cheese is AMAZING. I love the fact they use cooper sharp as their cheese 🧀 of choice. It adds that extra bit of flavor that puts these menu items over the top. The wings are cooked perfectly, with great sauce flavors. Oh and they make their own potato chips !
If you like 1 of a kind sauces, you gotta try some of the gritty sauce. Chefs kiss 🤌
Came here to try the much heralded brisket cheesesteak.
Fantastic sandwich. I thought it'd taste like a cheesesteak with better meat, but it didn't have that vibe. Tasted like a brisket sandwich with cheese.
Not a bad thing, surely. 8/10 sandwich. Could have dispersed the cheese a bit better versus putting the entirety on top.
Went here on a food tour of the city. Probably the best place we tried all day. The brisket cheesesteak was amazing and the Korean BBQ wings has great flavor. The sides were good but the best part was the banana pudding for dessert. Insanely good. Definitely worth a stop.
Just came back from the Mike's BBQ.
Everything is perfect. Everyone is just so nice. We ordered Brisket, rib and banana pudding. All is perfect. 5 star recommend. Definitely will refer to my friend.
We ordered the Korean wings, smoked brisket cheesesteak, and slaw. The cheesesteak was great! Next time I want to try the brisket on its own. The Korean wings tasted asian, but more like hoisin sauce which isn't Korean. Slaw was very tangy and worked well in between bites of the rest of the food.
A great barbecue destination in Philly! Everything that we tried was excellent! The brisket is one of the best I ever had!
Probably the best bbq place I’ve eaten at. Or at least one of the best and I’ve been all over. The brisket Cheadle steak is an amazing take on the Philly Cheese steak. I also had the pork which is hand down the best! I saw the ribs but didn’t get to try (next time) they looked awesome.
Mike’s BBQ is always A+. This was from a recent meal with family, but I have ordered takeout many times and am never disappointed. The brisket and the ribs are my go-tos and as some other reviewers have mentioned, do not sleep on the banana pudding!!
