This is/was a local gem, and our new favorite area BBQ spot, located in Malvern, off Route 29 past the Great Valley corporate center. Unfortunately, due to years long Pen Dot construction that made it difficult to enter/exit their parking lot, their business suffered to the point that they are now permanently closed other than for catering orders. This information is based on the hand written signs they have posted in the windows. If interested, the number listed is: 610.716.1621 read more

Farm Boy BBQ - Closing announcement. - Barbeque Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

It's a mixture of highs and lows. Highs: brisket sandwich, pulled pork (even with the bones), and bbq sauce. These are all 10/10. Very good and would return for. Lows: jalapeños cheddar sausage: low flavor for the title. Plus, I love a snap of a sausage and this pre-cut... I would not recommend this at all. Mac and cheese- no flavor at all. Dirty rice- so not good.Zatatrin is better. Wanted to love and left feeling like 6.5 out of 10. read more

Tasty bbq. The brisket is pretty stellar. "Fall of the bone" and well seasoned. I also had the bbq pulled pork sandwich. It was good. The sides were forgettable. The cornbread was disappointing. So bland. If the cornbread was better I'd give a better review. I would go back. read more

Ordered lunch from here twice with some of my co-workers about a month ago since we all had heard great things about this place. I was not the one who picked up the order, so I can't say much about the service. The only feedback I got was that they were very kind and grateful for the order, but both times we ordered the order ran behind on time significantly. I ordered the brisket and pulled chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. The mashed potatoes may hands down be the best I've ever had. They are SO creamy and cheesy and delicious. I would come back solely for them. The pulled chicken was very good as well! I fell the portion was generous and well seasoned. The brisket fell a bit short for me only because by the time I got it, it was cold which made it very dry. I'd try it again if I dined in though! The green beans were delicious! I believe there was some onion with them and they had a buttery flavor to them which was great. The second time I ordered I got a pulled pork sandwich, with some sides and a hot mess potato to try. The sandwich came with a side of barbecue sauce which was sweet with a little tang. Going to be honest though, the pork can stand on its own! I ate most of the sandwich without the sauce because it was juicy and the smoke was GREAT! Again, well seasoned. The sides weren't my favorite. The coleslaw was very tangy, which was just not my preference. The mac and cheese did not taste like it was seasoned. The consistency was great, it was creamy and cheesy and the pasta was cooked well, but it just didn't have much flavor. The baked beans were good, but more of a chili style, savory baked beans vs. a sweet type so it depends what you like. The hot mess was SO good, but again the order was delayed, so by the time I got it, it was cold. I reheated it and it was delicious! I would order here again, maybe just not on a time crunch or in a group more than 5 at a time since it seems like they can get a bit overwhelmed. read more

Stopped by after hearing this was some of the most authentic BBQ in the area... it was true! There were multiple smokers outside with fresh and delicious meat. In addition to entrees you can also purchase large servings to go. Very casual and relaxed environment.. and BYOB! Highly recommend for a casual lunch or dinner spot or some great takeout for the family. Authentic and delicious! read more

Open feeling place with fast friendly help. They have a great view from the outside seats of the lake behind it. I have the Beef spare ribs they are supper tender and flavorful. The baked beans have bits of pork belly and it makes it salty and sweet as a great balance. read more

We LOVE Farm Boy BBQ. We were eating here before they were at this location (they used to have their spot at the Sunoco gas station at the intersection of Routes 29 and 30). This is a great BBQ option in a suburban neighborhood that is not a chain. They make everything in house and have multiple smokers on site that you can see in action which is pretty cool. We've had their brisket, chicken, sausage, chili, and so much more. Everything has always been DELICIOUS! For desserts, you need to grab their banana pudding. Theirs is what got me into this specific dessert. Service is good. It's a bit overwhelming/confusing when you walk in to order for the first time. I don't think they have figured out the rhythm to an efficient/quick assembly line for the ordering, but I don't mind given that I have access to tasty BBQ in PA. Prices are okay. It's more than you'd pay for a quick service meal, but remember you are getting FANTASTIC Texas BBQ here in Pennsylvania. The owners smoke everything themselves and it's not processed or frozen/reheated. This is FRESH, DELICIOUS, AUTHENTIC, and (say it with me) WORTH THE MONEY!!! We gotta keep this local/small business in business, so please check them out!!!!! Rating 4/5 to be honest about their pricing being on the higher end and hard to navigate/confusing to order. Otherwise, the food is good and accessible in an area where BBQ is nonexistent. read more

Farm Boy BBQ - Brisket, potato salad, green beans, onions, pickles - Barbeque Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Drove past this place and never knew it was there, so decided to stop in for dinner as we love BBQ. They have a nice set up here. You walk in and order your food at the counter and they have a decent amount of indoor seating plus outdoor seating. I wanted the brisket sandwich, but that was the same price as the brisket platter, which also came with 2 sides, so I went with the platter. The meat was already out on the counter and the lady sliced off 2 pieces as I ordered. The meat didn't appear to be under any sort of heating lamp or anything and it was luke warm when I ate it. While the flavor was pretty good, it was a little fattier than I like. For my sides, I got the creamy mashed potatoes and Mac-and-cheese, both of which I enjoyed. My wife didn't like her sides as much, which were the potato salad and baked beans but my son liked his crinkle cut fries. They only have one BBQ sauce here. My biggest negative was that there was no sweet tea. I can't have Texas BBQ without sweet tea! In fact, all drinks here are bottled. I prefer my places to have fountain soda where you can get refills. Yes, the place is on the pricier side, especially factoring in quantity of food and compared to another BBQ chain in the area. Everyone was nice and friendly though. I would eat here again, but per my wife, she wouldn't crave it or necessarily go out of her way to come back. read more

Arrived late to join my Dad, my brothers and my sister for lunch ona rainy cold dreary winter weekend. The spot is easy to access and the interior is nice though a bit sterile. There are some nice things on the walls for decorations and to put you in the mood. They had ordered a Shrimp Po Boy for me and let me tell you this thing was huge. The shrimp was amazing and the sauce and veggies inside made this one I will be back for. Everyone else tried BBQ this and that and said it was very tasty and they would have again. We will be back. read more

Went when they first opened. They were out of quite a few products. Seemed a bit disorganized. Hopefully things have improved, I am willing to go back & give them another try. read more

Best brisket around. Everything on the menu is great down to the banana pudding. Owners are always there and they just take care of you.

This place is a gem! The brisket is deliciously seasoned and tender. I had a side with my plate order, spicy cheesy corn, left something to be desired BUT don't get me wrong I still ate it all as anything paired with the brisket can't be wrong. The place is open layout with ample seating and a just right for a good comfort meal with a group or even solo. Staff is superb - attentive, informed, very courteous. Will definitely be heading back to this place again and again when in town. read more

Stopped in for takeout brisket for the fam and ended up with 1.5 lbs of brisket and a pound of bacon, jalapeño, cheddar sausage! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! The protein options are great! Lots to choose from and I'll definitely try others in the future. There are also a good amount of sides offered. I had my mind set on brisket so I didn't venture to anything else this evening. The restaurant is roomy and looks great for dining in. I'm assuming it was the owner that helped me and he was awesome. The young lady behind the register was a sweetheart as well. This would be an excellent place to order for an event....like Super Bowl!! Definitely check them out. Might be my fave BBQ on the Main Line!!! read more

Farm Boy BBQ - Don't judge my presentation-the food speaks for itself!! GET IN MY BELLY!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Above average barbecue, but not worth the exorbitant prices. I know prices are up all around, but the value here is particularly bad. I got the two meats with one side for $21. So I got only one sausage link, literally two ribs, and a decent sized side of collard greens. That's it, for $21 plus tax. It was an about enough food for a child's meal. Again, I know prices are up all around, and the restaurant business is particularly tough right now, but that is a stone cold rip off. My wife paid for an order of cornbread, and it was dried out and terrible. The collard greens were excellent, but both the ribs and the sausage came out lukewarm, which is not an appetizing way to eat sausage or ribs. The other people I was with also paid well over 20 bucks for minuscule meals. It does come with a Free tap beer if you'd like one (they don't have an alcohol license), so that ameliorates the cost a little bit. The service was very friendly and relatively fast, and the interior is very inviting. But again, not enough to make up for this much cost. read more

Service was quick and employees were very friendly. Above all the brisket was insane. I think it's the best brisket I've had in a while. I got the corn too which you can tell that was some fresh corn. 10/10 would recommend to any meat lover like myself. read more

Found Farm Boy BBQ accidentally when I got off the PA Turnpike looking for a restaurant. The place looks new, and is neat and clean. The staff were informative and friendly. The pulled pork and BBQ sauce were excellent, and I liked the Cole slaw, pickles and onions, and white bread sides. I wasn't crazy about the baked beans but to be fair they were prepared in a southern style. 5 stars, I'll be back! read more

Nachos for $20 can feed like 4 people, it's great. Really yummy, more food than you'd get in chains and actually tastes fresh and IS fresh. Owners were working tonight and they are SO KIND. We have seen this spot continue to be built up and you can see the effort. The indoor seating is casual, perfect for a group of friends or a quick date night, but EVERYTHING is new! They have Thanksgiving pre order and we are planning to order Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. Such a great idea! Even good for office catering, you have to give them a shot! Some may say it's pricey but if you want good quality meat (they are family-owned and source premium meats) made fresh ON SITE, a smoker is literally outside, then fork up the extra bucks. If you want cheap stuff from a big chain with no thought, then go elsewhere and don't complain. read more

Pulled chicken sandwich was served cold. Fries were undercooked and grease-soaked. $25. The point-of-sale terminal asks for a tip, but there's no table service. Several tables are unusable because a wheeled scaffolding in the dining area. Most of the seats are 12" squares with no backs. read more

Brisket and chicken were pretty good but the macaroni and cheese had no flavor at all

I've seen everything now $20 for a chicken sandwich. Mediocre at best nine dollars for a cup of macaroni and cheese The sandwich was terrible. All I could taste was the horrible barbecue sauce (way too sweet all over it sloppy mess. Service. Well, they scooped the food out of the tray for me. overcrowded The whole place echoes whenever anyone talks . Disgusting mess. They didn't even give me a plate for my food. I ate it off of a wax paper on a red plastic tray. read more

MUST TRY BBQ!!!!! Do yourself a favor. Get in your car and go try now. Farm Boy BBQ belongs in TX! They compete with the best in the bbq game of the south. The brisket is phenomenal--perfectly smoked, tender and moist...with friendly staff who make you feel at home. The vibe is laid-back but buzzing with energy, making it the perfect spot for BBQ lovers. Can't recommend this place enough--HIGHLY recommend! 10/10 experience. read more

Ordered a two meat combo...chicken and ribs. Tasted fine, but this meal wouldn't fill up a seven-year old, let alone a 200 pound man who just worked 11 hours. Two tiny ribs!!! This was one sad plate of food. Tragic and sad. Will not be coming back. read more

The Eagle has landed! I've already been a fan of Chef Paul Marshall's food for a few years at this point. But today, in Farm Boy's new home the food was off the hook! We had the rib-eye steaks for dinner and it was amazing! Prime beef, wood fired grill and no sous vides! Steak houses better watch out! And they already have the best BBQ anywhere! I just hope he starts making beignets again! This place is dine in and take out. 5 stars aren't enough! *New permanent location at 625 N. Morehall Rd Suite 100 Malvern PA 19355* read more

We were driving by and saw the smokers outside. We figured they are a legit bbq place. We weren't disappointed! Pictures are what we are taking home! Brisket was so juicy, flavorful, and plentiful! I got the hot mess. Sides were spicy, cheesy corn (not that spicy, perfect!), baked beans which were a bit spicy, and corn bread w/ jalapeño's in it for a little spice but not overwhelming. Food was fantastic! Inside and outside seating! Owner was here and greeted everyone here. This is close to a friend's house. We will be back! read more

The brisket is out of this world! The service is outstanding and the owners are dedicated and friendly. The restaurant is clean and the outdoor smoker house is a nice touch. It looks like they can book private parties there. My first experience was the chicken sandwich, which was honestly disappointing. Too much skin parts and fat were included. I was expecting just pulled chicken pieces. But the onion rings, Mac and cheese and chili were excellent. My second experience blew the first one away with the brisket sandwich. It was so good; perfectly smoked and cut and a generous serving, making the price fair. The corn bread, potato salad, and coleslaw sides were also great Dessert: My favorite is the banana pudding! I also recently tried the pecan pie which was delicious. It's expensive as others have commented but worth it: Their setup is similar to fast food in how the ordering is done (similar to chipotle style), but it's much higher quality than a typical fast food restaurant. Everything is fresh and homemade. read more

10 out of 10. Amazing BBQ! We had the pulled chicken sandwich, the brisket, Mac & cheese, dirty rice, fries & banana pudding. All were incredible! read more

Finally got in! I tried the day before Thanksgiving, but they were closed to restaurant customers as they also offer smoked turkeys and that was their turkey pick-up day! So keep that in mind for your next Thanksgiving. The food was very good (the cornbread was too dry for us, the mac and cheese was AMAZING, and the fresh cut fries were perfect - and of course, the BBQ was delicious). It's a "lean" set up - no fountain beverages, no ice dispenser (though they will give you a cup of ice if you ask). Plenty of seating. I do wish they had a recyle can rather than just putting it all in the trash, but other than that - no constructive feedback. Will definitely be back. read more

Good bbque. Sausage was great and the potatoes. Oooooooohhhhweeeer. Bangin. The owners are so nice and welcoming.

I could bring my Texas and North Carolina friends here without criticism. Excellent pork and brisket. Very tender and spiced just right. Finally the North can claim barbecue too. read more

Food was great! Short ribs are worth the trip. They just fall apart and the taste is outstanding. Pork ribs were also quite good and the smoked turkey was tender smoky and amazing. Sides Service is good. Owner is very friendly showed us the smoker and explained the process. Ambiance is great clean and well maintained would definitely go back. read more

Legit barbecue, with meat smoked on premises and a comfortable indoor dining area. A find!

Service was great food wasn't , could have just been an off day I don't know but the brisket was dry and hard to chew

Relocated from the Seattle area and stopped by to see if the reviews lived up to the hype. It absolutely did. Firstly, the place was very clean and roomy. Customer service was fantastic and they were very friendly. I got the brisket sandwich with slaw. The brisket was very tender and moist and the rub was perfect, not too salty and a touch black pepper forward. It's what a balanced rub should be. I'll absolutely be back and regret not trying the mac and cheese that just came out. read more

If you want authentic slow smoked Texas BBQ, this is the place. The Brisket and Ribs are excellent. This is a true Chef run business with no fast food shortcuts. You can taste the difference that a true Chef can make. The the potatoes, corn, and Mac n Cheese are great. The service was friendly and the food is prepared right in front of you. I ate inside and enjoyed the Blues music with my meal. I would recommend this to any BBQ lover. read more

Spent about $30 based on Yelp hype. Was really disappointed. Lots of fat on the ribs, weighed with bone and fat... amounted to little meat. Brisket was very lean and meat was good quality but lacked flavor and had zero smoke. Maybe it was an off day? But for the risk factor... sucks to be the one spending just as much for the "off day." Not worth the gamble to return. See my photos for the huge chunk of fat I paid for. I shouldn't have trusted reviews with no photos or under 20 reviews to their name. Percy, last time I listen to you. James, it's not a cheesesteak! Boo! read more
