While Philly is by no means a barbecue town compared to some American epicenters, this city still has an appreciation for the art of meat smoked slow and low. Here’s where to find the best barbecue in Philadelphia, from neighborhood favorite ribs to new-school smokers, and even some vegan options.
This most recent map update reflects the changes the scene has undergone, which has unfortunately reflected more losses than additions. Recent closures include Huff and Puff BBQ, the Lucky Well Incubator, one of the Zeke’s locations, and for now, Angry Deekin Ribs; though it wasn’t on this map, the city also lost Bomb Bomb Bar-B-Q Grill late last year.
