Caught their tent at Foodees Fest in Lakeland, FL and every bite was on point. The ribs were perfectly tender with great smoke and just the right char--no sauce needed. The four-cheese mac was rich, savory, and loaded with flavor, and the collard greens were well seasoned with bits of turkey throughout. Terrell and his team are doing it the right way. Can't wait to stop by the Philly location next time we're in town for an Eagles game! read more

Wasn't impressed with the food. Ordered and PAID EXTRA for brisket and was clearly given pulled pork. The greens were good but for "turkey collard greens" it was lacking the turkey. Baked beans were okay but if you don't like them sweet I'd suggest a different side. Mac and cheese was dry and so was the meat. At least the service was good. The gentleman in the truck was polite, but "Best soul food in Philly" iono about that! read more

Today, my family and I went to the Food Truck Festival at Linvilla Orchards. Of the 20 or so trucks located throughout the property, Barkley's was one of three BBQ trucks, and by far had the longest line of any truck in the whole festival. So it had to be that good if so many others were waiting the 1/2 hour or so for BBQ, right? Well, we were pleased with our food, but not foot stomping, hand slapping, moonshine drinking happy overall. Maybe just a shot. With cool music blasting out of a large speaker, the awesome smells of the charcoal and wood smokers made everyone's senses perk up. The line was long, the wait was palpable, and when we got to order, the very nice staffer was able to answer our questions. We ended up ordering two pulled porks with beans and Mac and cheese, and I had a half rack ribs with yams and beans. The food came quickly and we found a table. The pulled pork was delicious. The Mac and cheese could have been better but I'm sure that one reason it wasn't the best was that they had to prep so much for the several hour festival and everyone wanted it so quality control was not on pointe. It was just ok. The beans were sweet! Literally. Had sugar, honey, cinnamon, they were almost like dessert. My yams were rather good. The big downfall was the ribs. Mine were completely blackened and burnt on one side. I've accidentally made homemade ribs like this when not paying attention to the temperature and time on my grill. They were not fall off the bone meats. They were just not that good and I expected much better. Tough to get through. Maybe I should have just went with the chicken. $70 for the three meals. Staff was friendly, music was cool, food was good but could have been better. read more

Wanted to lobe this place as it smelled so good with the smoke billowing from the grill. Not the friendliest of cashiers and the prices were astronomical based on what you get. My pork sandwich with bbq sauce was 1/2 of what I would get elsewhere for the same price. I always want to help the "mom and pops", but not this time. read more

Food had a funk smell to it, the interior of the truck was disheveled at best. For 40 dollars we got glory greens (canned greens for uninitiated,) baked beans that have been drowned in brown sugar and pork that was so wet; I would've needed an entire roll of paper towels to make it edible. If you're going to get anything, I'd say try the ribs since they seem to be the thing that's being cooked on site. read more

We needed to grab a bite at the outlet in Atlantic City, so we decided to try out the food truck. The food was prepared quickly and it was hot. It's better than fast food from a burger joint, but this can't be the best Philly has to offer. My husband said the chicken was ok. The sauce and flavor of the brisket were good, but I don't want my brisket chopped and sitting in a pool of oily liquid in the carton. The sides were ok, as well. We likely won't add this place to our gotta go back list. read more

Excellent! Best ribs I've had in Philly. Fast. Smelled great upon walking up. So good.

The food was delicious, the service was great, it took about 7 minutes for the food to come out.

I ordered the BBQ ribs platter for delivery, with potato salad and mac & cheese. I was disappointed they were out of cornbread. But I was not disappointed when my food arrived, still warm, and I took my first bite of those ribs. They were soo good! Tender and delicious, with a BBQ sauce i was licking from my fingers. And there was enough food to spread out over two meals. The potato salad was also top notch. Almost as good as my mom makes it. The Mac & cheese was just average. Not cheesy the way I like it. Next time I will swap that out with a vegetable. And there will definitely be a next time. read more

Barkley's BBQ - BBQ ribs platter - Soul Food Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Didn't even get to taste the food, but was immediately turned off by the poor customer service of the food truck attendant in NJ. As I approached the truck, she rolled her eyes and pointed to the "closed" sign. She didn't even have the courtesy to speak to me... just pointed to the sign. Would not recommend or ever go back! Do better! read more

I just visited their food truck outside of a conference I was attending at temple medical school . I had to order the brisket because they were out of chicken . I also went with the mac & cheese . Brisket was in edible even with this sauce . The meat had a metallic taste ( like iron ) . The mac & cheese was flavorless and literally had a a plastic like consistency . I wouldn't be able to tell you o was eating food if I was blindfolded. The People working seem to be decent people however the food sucked. I basically wasted $13. I was only able to take one bite of each. I didn't want to offend the people that just served me food and had to actively seek out a place in which I could throw away my food items . In short Unfortunately I can't recommend this place . read more

Take out | Dinner | $10-45 I love BBQ and the smell of the smoke draws you in.This was my 1st and last visit to this Food Truck in Blackwood NJ.I ordered a half of a slab of Ribs had to wait over 30mins before my order was up,, I watched as they predicted off Racks of hot Ribs with like 13-15 bones in the Rack. At the time they were not busy at all, they gave me a number and I sat and waited. I've never once had a bad experience like I had here. The food came out luke warm but the most disappointing thing was they only gave me four bones and one of them was the back part of the Ribs all of the Ribs Bore (All Fout) hardly had any meat on them and was lacking flavor.if I had not waited until I gotten home to look at them I would have taken them back and demanded my money back $24.00. Buyers beware stay far far away or go right around d the corner to Big Daddys or Brothers Aunt Berthas. This Food truck is a total ripoff Never Again that's for sure BBQ people stay away you'll get beat for you money not worth it at all !!!!!! read more

Absolutely amazing! Just had Barkley's BBQ today for the first time and it was SO GOOD !! The pulled pork was nothing short of incredible. I will definitely be back and you should go too!! read more

I'm so disappointed & I was so hype. For one they didn't have no yams so I got two sides of Mac & cheese which I regret because I wasted it. The wings were okay. The Mac & cheese was so dry & plain like no flavor at all nothing like the first time I had it a few years ago. Barely any cheese hella disappointed. read more

Barkley's BBQ - a fork in a styrofoam container filled with sausages, macaroni and cheese - Soul Food Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Wow! Delicious food and friendly staff. The best Mac n cheese at 30th Street Station (the challenge is on!). I enjoyed the greens, bbq brisket baked beans (I'd the three veg platter). There was nothing stoic about this choice, it was pure decadence! Work bestie had the pulled pork sammy and two sides - it was delicious and the sammy was HUGE! We both enjoyed our meals. One criticism? They need to offer extra napkins, BBQ is messy - c'mon now ;) I'm not sure how business is going but I think they need to post photos of their delicious options and try giving free samples to get people hyped, it's delicious but eye and taste teasers are needed. read more

Bout a rib platter from the truck parked at Gloucester outlet mall. Gave me the scraps of mac n cheese. Yams are mashed mush. 4 large ribs w sauce. Wasted money... read more

Barkley's has officially renewed my faith in the food trucks on the Porch at 30th st. For the past year or so, it's really been hit or miss, but I'd consider Barkley's a grand slam! My favorite aspect of this food truck is the platter options for $12, you get your choice to meat and two generous helpings of side dishes of your choice. The brisket is my go-to. It's very tender and well seasoned. The baked Mac and cheese is also a must. It has just the right amount of cheese to not be overbearing. I also enjoy either the baked beans or the green beans as the second side. Service is always super fast, friendly, and efficient. Even on a crowded day, I never waited more than 5 minutes to get my food. read more

This shop had a food truck at Bonesaw Brewery in Glassboro. Went there thinking that the quality at Bonesaw Brewing would be reflected in the food trucks they invite on to the lot. Wrong! I ordered the barbecued chicken platter, which was probably the worst platter I've ever eaten. The chicken leg quarters were burned and dry, then smothered in barbecue sauce. What appeared to be macaroni and cheese was so pasty that you could use it to mud and tape drywall. And the green beans that came with the platter of leg quarters and two sides, were probably canned green beans with retail store red pepper flakes. All this for $13. If you're at Bonesaw and Barkley's is there, and you're thinking BBQ would be good with brew, then skip the food truck, grab a growler and drive 6 miles west on 322 until you reach David & Sons 322 BBQ, the best barbecue in 13 states. read more

I ordered a 1/2 slab of ribs from their food truck today at Eakins Oval during a black festival. I want to make it clear that I am a white single man that lives in a 99% black neighborhood in W. Philly. I waited 30 minutes for my order and saw AT LEAST A DOZEN ORDERS MADE AFTER MINE GET FILLED. On a chance I tipped which would NEVER have done for this TERRIBLE SERVICE anywhere else. I would like to think the color of my skin didn't have anything to do with it, but since my ribs were cold when I got them the only conclusion I can come to my skin. Do not patronize bigots of ANY COLOR read more

Not only did I not receive my full order, but the food is TRASH. Soggy, burnt, thrown together, and didn't taste worth nothing. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Food truck was at northern liberties... this has to be by far the worst bbq I've ever had. Got the bbq brisket and it was shredded and soaked in sauce that had too much of vinegar taste. Also got chicken and that was burnt and barely had any meat couldn't even taste the sauce. STAY AWAY read more

Excellent food, from the baked macaroni and cheese and the tastiest ribs. Next time I will try their wings.

Went to their food truck outside 30th station on my lunch break. The line was kind of long, but the food was ready quickly. The main reason for the 2 stars is the portion size. I ordered the rib platter. I received a small platter with 2 small and 2 extra small ribs and the sides were half full. I feel it wasnt worth the $14. The sides weren't flavorful and the ribs were a tad tough. I did love the spicy sauce and quick service, but that's all. I wont be back. read more

We ordered the wing platter ( comes with 2 sides) we choose Barkley's because of the great smell at the Girard St Festival. The cook asked us how was the food. The wings were great! I usually request to have my wings "crispy" but I didn't have the make the request and they were great! I would definitely make another trip to. Heck out theirs menu! read more

The food is absolutely delicious! Good flavors and delicious mac and cheese and greens and yams I've tried the wings they were good but not crunchy enough for fried chicken to my satisfaction and tried pork ribs but they are a little too tough in my opinion.. But everything is fresh. & great flavor But I didn't like the fact they don't tell you it comes with cornbread or white bread or wheat. I called in a order and came to pick up, I asked for cornbread but she said everything was packed and they gave me white bread ?? Then she said I wasn't a regular customer so that's why I didn't and then said if I want I some I can pay extra. Personally feel like that's bad customer service especially if I just spent $30 and you want me to return. read more

I don't know who makes the potato salad but delicious. The ribs and string beans was ok. I have went back multiple times for that sal.

This is my mom favorite spot and today I took the 45 min drive to have my favorite ribs here. As usual the food was great but the customer service was horrible. The owner is always friendly but the customer service from the window person is unprofessional and hostile. I think I need to find a new favorite place. It's a shame that horrible customer service is ruining this place. read more

I would not recommend anyone ordering from them. I order from them at work and we spent over $60 dollars. I ordered macaroni and cheese and my box said macaroni and cheese but when I opened it it was greens. I asked them to bring me it to me because grubhub delivered it to me. The answer was no. I will never order from this place again. read more

Ordered from here last night on UberEats and it was delicious!! Got the chicken plate (extra spicy) with mac & cheese, greens & yams. The BBQ sauce is very flavorful!! My favorite item were the yams though! I was super hesitant because they had apples mixed in and I had never had them like that but I'm so happy I went for them!!!! Best I have ever had!!! My only negative is that they forgot to send me the cornbread that came with my meal so I didn't get to try that! Judging from all the other food though, I'm sure the cornbread is great! read more

My dad had me use Uber eats to get him a platter he doesn't like everybody soul food but he kept saying how good it was so I have to assume they have some banging food read more

The best ribs out of Texas and the best barbecue in Philly hands down. I hesitate to post anything about this place because I don't want the lines to get longer, but Tank and the ladies that run this place deserve some recognition. I think I've had everything on the menu and never had anything that wasn't great. Get there early before they run out of ribs, or get there earlier for a pulled pork lunch. Bangin' mac and cheese, and the best wings in town- try the garlic wings. They're not breaded and they're cooked nice and crispy. Worth a trip from anywhere in Philly, call ahead so its ready when you roll up, or stop and chat with Tank if he's not too busy grillin' read more
