I went in on a Tuesday and ordered a brisket sandwich. The sandwich came without the onions that the menu said came on top. When I asked for some, I was told they were out. Would've been nice to know when I ordered the sandwich. The brisket was very tough and chewy. I'd go back to try something else but I recommend against the brisket. read more

Came to Uncle John's BBQ stand for a late lunch. I usually check out the menu before I visit but decided to just wait until I arrived. I was greeted as soon as I arrived. I ordered the brisket tostada, mac and cheese and a strawberry agua Fresca drink. The food came out pretty quickly. The tostadas were piled high with the brisket. They were served with a sour cream and two other sauces. I enjoyed the tostadas, I kind of wish I asked for a barbecue sauce. The Mac and cheses was tasty but tasted more of a like noodles with béchamel sauce. If I was in the area again I would certainly come back to try other menu items. They have a nice area for outdoor seating. read more

Went to the store on Philly Pike on Saturday evening around 7pm. The place was packed which was great to see. We put in our order of burgers and extra sides of more fries and onion rings and beer which was brought to our table about 10 minutes later. Everything was delicious- piping hot, fresh and tasty. Had a great time read more

We were at the NICA Eastern Regional mountain bike race and John's sent a food truck. $12 for tots with pork. Food was good really like the BBQ sauce. Pork was juicy. Why 3 stars then? BC your order guy really pi$$ed me off; he was talking to other people not paying attention and was an absolute a$$. I had to repeat myself several times to order "loaded tots with pork" how hard is that? read more

Tasty food, but weird service and delivery of food. Took a while and didn't get what we ordered at first. They also only had hot bbq sauce? Red ants on all the tables outside made it hard to find a place to sit. read more

Great selection! Live music was fun and so was their playlist. i ordered the nashville hot chicken and it was good and crispy, could be much hotter though. the blueberry soda was great!!!! me and my girls just landed after flying in from chicago and this was a pretty good spot. service was helpful and friendly. the crinkle cut french fries were splendid, maybe a little too salty at times but either way they were amazing. read more

I went there thinking it was a soul food bbq place, but it had more Mexican dishes on the menu. I thought I would order the shedded bbq pork platter, but I saw it had a chicken and dumpling entree. It was listed under soups, but I thought that was a mistake because chicken and dumplings can be creamy and runny. The woman at the counter had to check to see if they had chicken and dumplings that night. When she said they did, I ordered it. I also ordered the lemonade. The chicken and dumplings was a soup with fat, not flat dumplings, and more carrots and celery than chicken or dumplings. I got some roasted corn to eat with the chicken and dumplings. The corn was plentiful and delicious! The lemonade was also delicious with plenty of real lemon slices in it and just the right sweetness. It was served in a very large cup with a top and a straw. The cup was almost full and I got a good three glasses out of it. Except for the chicken and dumplings not being the creamy mixture with flat dumplings I was looking forward to, the meal was well cooked and very tasty. I was sorry that I forgot to ask about desserts! The place was small but had a nice decorated set of rooms with nice tables and a good selection of seasonal packets. The waitress was polite and quick. read more

My family and I rolled up here on a Friday night. When we pulled up there I was a fun band playing music. We were like this is the place to be! We all got a variety of items from ribs to bbq sandwiches. For my little family we got the the pulled pork, the pulled chicken and the pork belly burnt ends. I also go Mac n cheese and tots for sides. Each of the meat comes with a side of cole slaw which was actually nice (generally I don't like Cole slaw). The pulled chicken and pork had great seasoning but were a bit dry. We needed more bbq sauce to kind of wet the meat. Mac and cheese was okay. Tots are always good. The star of the show was the pork belly burnt ends. Omg these were very good and crispy. The sauce that smothered them was great! There was some confusion of how the dining area worked (do we throw it away ourselves, getting utensils etc.) other than that we had a good time. This other table got wings and onion rings that looked super good. We will def. Be back to try other things :) read more

I love the atmosphere of this place. Yes real cute. It has outdoor seating and inside. A decent size menu. I was down the street for a funeral. My uncle John's funeral. I am from Virginia. I thought it was fitting to try this place out. I tried the buffalo wrap, cornbread, and my dad got the pulled pork, and my kiddo ordered the grilled cheese. The girl who took our order was a real sweet heart. Everything was so good. Great quality. Crinkle fries...I LOVE crinkle fries. It's something I rarely ever see. They hit the spot. Everything was on point. Super delicious, and a good amount. I also had two brownies. Lawrd it was so good. I go to New York and visit Delaware often... I'll make sure this is a pit stop I'll always visit. Thank y'all for filling my tummy when it wasn't the brightest of days for me. read more

A BBQ joint inside an old gas station? Turns out the food is pretty fire (that's slang for good). Mac and cheese is very decadent with the fancy white cheese and long noodles. Their brisket is fall apart buttery and well flavored with sauce. The complementary pickles and slaw add the perfect amount of crunch to the bbq sandwich. My only gripe is with the cornbread, kinda dry. They have a boombox at the door creating you with great tunes, which is always a fun little touch read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a long while. It did not disappoint. I got Cheesey Mac & Cheese, Brisket Empanadas and a Salmon Cheesesteak. I know, salmon at a BBQ place. I thought it would balance the empanadas. The live music and free beer was a special surprise bonus. I am not a big Salmon fan. It was a tiny bit fishy but the cole slaw helped hide that. The brisket was tender and juicy. The Cheesey mac and cheese was very cheesey. It got 2 cheesey thumbs up from Mr. Cheesey. Very bummed out that they ran out of the dessert I wanted. The service was fantastic. I knew the songs the guy was singing!! read more

We went for lunch while working close by and I got the brisket sandwich with fries and it was very good. One of the guys got a slab of ribs and all that was left was the bones. The other guy got pulled pork and he said it was great. I really liked the mixed bbq sauce read more

I got handed to JOHN. He does a lot of different things and they're all seem to be done with thought and care. I always like getting the brisket sandwich with the onions on it. I've tried some of the daily special dishes, and they are very good. And there's nothing better than a good 'ol Grateful Dead reference in your name. read more

Great food never disappointed make sure you try the salmon cheesesteak it's excellent

Quality Service,, Quality Food & Ingredients. They grow their own herbs & spices. Live Bands & they have a secret menu read more

Walking in- This place didn't have the nicest atmosphere I had ever seen, and there was dirt on the table we sat on. There was a really good duo playing music there, shout out to our friends Courtney Clarke and Victor Kozar who we saw playing there. Service- Our food came out lightning fast, especially considering the ratio of workers to customers. Meal- The ultimate grilled cheese was excellent, the bacon was perfect with the cheese and the bread was crispy and well cooked. The mac n cheese was the best I'd ever had, and mac n cheese is my favorite food. The breadcrumbs and the creamy cheese made for a delicious bite. The baked beans were a tad sweet and just how baked beans should be prepared. This was my first time trying onion rings and they did not disappoint. They were crispy and not too onion-y. The brussel sprouts were okay, I like mine deep fried and these were sautéed, but they were good. The pulled pork was really good with barbecue sauce, they complimented each other very well. This place has some of the best food I have ever tasted, and while it might not be the neatest, I would gladly recommend Uncle John's Barbecue Stand to anyone in the area. read more

Get ready to get your hands dirty! Their smoked sandwiches are so full they literally spill from the sides as you eat. The sauces were delicious--they had sweet bbq, hot bbq, and mixed sweet & hot bbq. We got their smoked brisket sandwich and the Porkzilla sandwich (I believe that's pulled pork with smoked sausage) and for us, the meat was a little on the dry side. That's why I'm giving four stars. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant experience. Very friendly and patient staff. The art and decorations were unique. Clean bathrooms. Overall, a great place to stop by for food! read more

These folks were very nice and I liked the atmosphere as well. They had a very good pork belly burnt end dish, which is definitely a keeper. However, I'm going to have to go there on a weekend to get them when I suspect the brisket is coming off the smoker. I got the pulled brisket sandwich, and it was drier than I like. That can happen if you shred the brisket though. A sliced brisket sandwich can preserve the juiciness. I also tasted the pulled chicken. I would also like to have more smokey flavor on the meat. All that said, I'm going to visit again on a weekend in the coming weeks. read more

First time here Excellent service! The pork belly burnt ends are to die for wow ! We Also ordered the salmon cheesesteak , pulled brisket sandwich and Mac & cheese...good portions freshly made our family will be back again!!! Thanks guys.. read more

Stopped by for a bite to eat. Location is in an old gas station that has been renovated to be an amazing dining spot. Ordered the salmon cheesesteak and pulled chicken. Both exceeded expectations and we were especially impressed how delicious the salmon cheesesteak was because we were - truthfully- a little hesitant to order it. French fries and coleslaw that came with both were delicious and we had a side of onion rings which were perfect . Didn't try any of the desserts, but all looked homemade, and another customer was telling us that they were delicious as well. This is not your ordinary barbecue spot !!!!! Highly highly recommend- this is a wonderful location that is so much nicer than you would expect with a DELICIOUS menu. read more

Inside of the restaurant is filled with art, plants, books, and a bunch of love. You can tell the owner put the same love they have for their food truck into this space as well. I got the Italian sausage sandwich with peppers and onions and it was very spicy, which is cool if you're into that kind of thing. The coleslaw was banging and free! My boyfriend got the pulled pork sandwich and all it needed was an extra side of sauce. They also have a Maine Root soda machine which was different but delicious. I can't wait to come back in the spring and hear some live music. They also sell some handmade signs, wreaths, and woodworking, check it out if you need a gift!

Wonderful place on Philadelphia Pike that feels like you're eating in the backyard of family or a good neighbor. Extensive menu with a huge assortment of sides from which to choose. Daily themed specials. Everything tastes homemade and is pure comfort food. The creamy Cajun seafood pasta was perfect after a long week, with crabmeat, shrimp, and lobster claw meat. Prices are very reasonable and the staff are so friendly. read more

Mac and cheese is banging. Went there for the first time with my little kids, 1 of which is a crazy picky eater, they liked it! The staff is so nice there and they were setting up a band for Sunday funday. If we would have known we would have went later to enjoy the live band but we follow them on instagram now so next time we'll know. Did I mention the Mac and cheese? It was delicious. read more

First time visit was disappointing. Service was friendly and good live music in outdoor seating was fun. Food left us scratching our heads. BBQ pulled brisket sandwich was tender but had zero smoke or seasoning flavors. Sopped it in bbq sauce to help, but the large bun it was served on was stale and hard, not soft...not edible. The Nashville chicken sandwich was dry, not fresh cooked, and oily, and again, the bun was stale and not edible. Brussel sprouts and onion rings were good. Maybe this was an off day but somebody wasn't paying attention to food quality this day. read more

I have been a customer since the store opened up. Love the variety of food. There is nothing that has been bad. Everything very tasty and not over priced. I have brought friend to Uncle Johns .

Good vibes.The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was great.

The food used to be very good. Last evening the food was not good at all. The mashed potatoes had zero flavor except for yuck, the green beans were ok, the coleslaw was not good and the baked beans were not good as well as the brisket was pulled instead of sliced and was tasteless. There was no courteous service with us being ignored by 3 people until one man coming out eventually but unable to talk with us because his mouth was full and he was very busy chewing while staring at us instead of anyone saying hello, may i help you? We won't go back. read more

This is a great spot if your in the neighborhood. The food is great and for the price you just can't beat it. It's your local low key spot, and it feels like your eating a home cooked meal. The owner is incredibly friendly and talks to patrons letting them know just how much he appreciates the business. This is as mom and pop as it gets. I'll defiantly be back! read more

The individuals who take your order are not cheerful and can come off as rude. When we got our food, I asked if our Nashville chicken sandwich came with fries, because it stated so in on the menu. I was immediately answered with a rude no and he didn't even double check the menu to see if it did come with it. The food was okay. But I will not be returning just because of the service. read more

It's a cute restaurant in an old gas station. I ride by often and had never noticed it before. I was checking out eateries near me that I hadn't been to before and found Uncle John's BBQ Stand. I checked the menu and saw a few things that sounded good so I took a quick trip over to get some takeout. The pulled brisket was so melt in your mouth tender. By itself it had good flavor then add the sweet bbq sauce and viola even more delicious! The onion rings were nice and crispy and very tasty; a quick dunk in the bbq sauce and I asked myself why hadn't just dunked them all. The tater tots were also very crunchy but could have used a bit more salt. The service was fantastic. Greeted as soon as I entered the dining area (6 or 8 tables) and quickly had my order taken. The staff I encountered was extremely nice. I would definitely go back so I can try some of the other menu items. read more

Great spot! Excellent food and quick service. Loved everything especially the worlds crunchiest tots.

Moved up the street not long ago and we come in often. Food is always amazing! Definitely try the bbq bowl or shrimp fajita salad they offer on taco Tuesdays, they are my favorites! Honestly can't say we've tried anything here that hasn't been great. Service is always efficient and kind. They offer indoor/outdoor seating, live music on certain nights, and even sell the most beautiful plants outside. Overall a 10/10 experience :)) read more
