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.

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
Jenny LuAugust 8, 2014
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 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.

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.

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

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

During the week from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. get half-priced whiskey and beer from featured producers, half-priced turkey tails, country ham plate and BBQ fries. Read more

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.
Joel A.September 17, 2014
For the true pork aficionado, get the succulent & savory pork belly sandwich. Notable mentions: Mac n cheese & beef brisket
Dominique MonétDecember 22, 2012
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.

The pulled pork is fantastic. Also, the have root beer on tap if you're into that sort of thing. It's amazing.
Oleg TkachenkoJuly 6, 2016
Great ribs & draft beer but awful salads and sides. Fair price and big portions - enough for two. Ribs - 19$
Leanne AlyssaFebruary 21, 2015
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.

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.
Estefania SantosJuly 13, 2015
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 !
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014
Don’t miss the Pork Belly Sandwich and wash it down with one of the 100+ Craft Can Beers on the list.
James CApril 11, 2015
This was an amazing experience. Food was great. Staff was great. Best BBQ in Philadelphia.
Joan LiuJuly 26, 2012
Definitely got my money's worth here! The pulled pork sandwiches were HUGE. I recommend the Sweet Thang sauce mixed with the spicy one!
Justin NachodMarch 31, 2013
Ask your server for beer recommendations based on beers you're already familiar with .... The can list is quite good.
Alex MasMay 8, 2015
Great barbecue restaurant. Good beer selection. So much food you are not going to finish it.
Flor Elena CarballoAugust 23, 2015
Pork ribs, German potato salad, cast iron skillet cornbread all it's delicious
Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 14, 2013
When you're done with the hard stuff, enjoy the best root beer float in Philadelphia, made with Yards own root beer.

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!
Larisa GrollemondOctober 23, 2015
Solid BBQ all around, amazing cornbread and an extensive beer list!
Raj SarmaAugust 6, 2014
The BBQ here is very good and well priced. I found the brisket a little over salty, but it was still not bad.
Kristie MabsApril 29, 2013
Go for the Rootbear Float. Yards Rootbeer and vanilla ice cream in a mason jar is the perfect combination.
ValerieNovember 11, 2015
Canned beer menu is amazing. Recommend the burnt end beans.
Ana AAugust 31, 2013
the pork belly appetizer is amazing!! best version of a bacon & egg sandwich.

Bring a sweater or jacket today it was freezing cold! On the upside the food was good!
TracyAugust 20, 2014
Pulled pork and pork belly sandwiches will make your mouth water!
Jonathan RichardsMarch 30, 2013
Lamb ribs all the way. Every bit as good as those I have eaten in Memphis
Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 7, 2011
Chef Erin O'Shea's key lime pie is the best summer pie in town, and her pecan will have to get the vote for winter. Read more
David HowlandSeptember 5, 2014
Big thumbs up for the macaroni and cheese and the corn bread.
Percy HolmesJanuary 16, 2017
Honestly, everything is great here.

If you set aside any preconceptions you have about bbq, this is an amazing experience. Plus, don't forget to try the Mac & Cheese and the Chilli.

Sauce rationing is now in effect. You will be limited to a thimble of ketchup or half a shot of BBQ.

They took away the sliced pork sandwich and this place is less special because of it.
Chris MooreFebruary 7, 2015
Meet was a little dry, but it was around 9PM. BBQ places are usually better early.
Joshua HerringFebruary 15, 2016
Great little BBQ restaurant
Ned VoglerNovember 11, 2016
BBQ Fries and Deviled Eggs!!
DavidAugust 4, 2010
The mac and cheese: get it! The desserts? Take your pick of the deliciousness! The chicken is crazily smokily good.
Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 3, 2011
Don't miss the sweet-potato casserole; the veg is as good as the gooey toasted-marshmallow topping. Read more
