    Percy Street already pours the best root beer float in town (Yards root beer and homemade vanilla ice cream), but go during happy hour and you can spike yours with a half-price shot of bourbon.

    loved the skillet cornbread ($5). served hot out of the oven, with chunks of cheddar inside and a nice kick with each bite from the jalapeños!

    The food is absolutely tasty and filling here. I ordered a pork belly sandwich that seemed rather compact and easy to bite without any major spillage. My wife ordered beef brisket and was good, too

    Who knew a Yankee Jew could serve up some mean barbeque, but we tip our hats to Chef/Owner Mike Solomonov and Chef Erin O’Shea for a fantastic take on some of our southern favorites.

    Get everything and anything. Great BBQ, great jukebox, great Mac n cheese, great beer selection, great pecan pie. Awesome place

    The smoky aroma wafting down South Street lures many a Whole Foods shopper away from her tofu. Stop by for chopped brisket or pulled pork with all the fixings.

    Try the Lancaster Kolsch, an authentic German style lager. The pork tenderloin is also a treat.

    For the true pork aficionado, get the succulent & savory pork belly sandwich. Notable mentions: Mac n cheese & beef brisket

    Omg all the meats are soooo tender falling right off the bone! The cornbread, Mac & cheese & sauces are AMAZING!!!!! Definitely a must go to place.

    Pretty pricy for the portion sizes but the mac and cheese, biscuits, and vegan white bean soup are delicious. Pecan pie is not good at all. The service is great.

    If you like your beer in cans, Percy Street has more than 60 behind the bar. And if you like your canned beer with pickle juice and BBQ sauce, order the Hillbilly Gatorade. You’ll thank us later.

    Don’t miss the Pork Belly Sandwich and wash it down with one of the 100+ Craft Can Beers on the list.

    Southern flavor adjusted for Philly taste makes Percy a favorite for comfort foods like smoked chicken and sweet-potato casserole. Yeah, they made our 2011 list of Best Restaurants in Philly! Read more

    Great ribs & draft beer but awful salads and sides. Fair price and big portions - enough for two. Ribs - 19$

    Get the mac&cheese and the green bean casserole. Yeah I know I should probably be mentioning the ribs at a BBQ joint. But do yourself a favor and check the sides too.

    The pulled pork is fantastic. Also, the have root beer on tap if you're into that sort of thing. It's amazing.

    Beers of all kinds. But I don't believe that they don't have proper cups for each type of beer. It's a sin !

    Definitely got my money's worth here! The pulled pork sandwiches were HUGE. I recommend the Sweet Thang sauce mixed with the spicy one!

    The smoked pork tenderloin is likely my favorite on the menu. Avoid the collards unless you want to be disappointed, they're a bit bland. Good list of unique beers. Not bad for BBQ in Philly.

    When you're done with the hard stuff, enjoy the best root beer float in Philadelphia, made with Yards own root beer.

    Ask your server for beer recommendations based on beers you're already familiar with .... The can list is quite good.

    Surprisingly vegan friendly for a BBQ place! The staff knows exactly what's in each dish and how/if they can be altered. Try the vegan chili and the avocado salad!

    Go for the Rootbear Float. Yards Rootbeer and vanilla ice cream in a mason jar is the perfect combination.

    The BBQ here is very good and well priced. I found the brisket a little over salty, but it was still not bad.

    The baby back ribs have a good texture & flavor on their own. Add BBQ sauce to make sweeter, spicier or just saucier.

    Meet was a little dry, but it was around 9PM. BBQ places are usually better early.
