Pig Daddy’s

Awesome pulled pork, Mac and cheese, rice and beans, ribs and corn bread. The brisket was just so so.

Great food and fantastic customer service. I ordered the smoked brisket sandwich and it was very good. Price was in the normal range.

Great, delicious comfort food! Friendly owner!
Whenever I need a takeout treat this is who I call and I’m never disappointed.

Really disappointing. Just a really bad meal all around. Starting from the big house special (5 different meats/​sauces) to our French fries. It was over priced and just plain gross. Not to mention the actual place looks completely dirty.

Before I begin, let me just vent a bit… I love barbeque. I am not a barbeque expert by any stretch. I know VA and NC are more pork oriented and Texas is more beef. I know some places putting sauce all over it is taboo. Whatever. I just like to eat it. My quick rant is there really needs to be more places in the Philly area to get it. I understand supply and demand. So that being said, more people need to like it.
We have a place in Drexel Hill called Pig Daddy’s. Decent bbq. Not overly memorable, but I will order from again at some point when the bbq hankering is back.
First off, like others have said, Pig Daddy’s is take-​out only. The place is very small. Basically this place is a brick-​and-​mortar food truck. It is dark and dingy on the inside. As others have said, lack of cleanliness might be a concern, but on the other side, the important side where the food is, was satisfactory clean.
The food arrives very quickly. And the food would satisfy anybody with a bbq craving. Is this a place worth driving out of your way too? No. Not really. But if you live in Drexel Hill, or within spitting distance, then by all means, visit here.
Portions are large.
One thing they need to work on is the Mac-​and-​Cheese. Certainly better than Popeyes, but it was basically penne pasta and cheez wiz like substance. It might be real cheese, but doubtful.
The prices were fair. Maybe a smidge on the higher side. Not getting a deal, but not getting ripped off.
I live in DH, so I’ll be back.

Probably would never order from them again. Being someone from the south I admit I’m very picky about my bbq, but with that being said its not hard to create good bbq. I ordered the Carolina style pulled pork (which was the only thing I considered the best out of our order), the Texas style brisket (dry and tough) and a side of Mac n cheese (bland) and the sweet potatoes.
My boyfriend ordered a side of the southern style collard greens (which did not taste like it was cooked with ham or pork which is supposed to be southern style) the brisket burrito (ok) and buffalo wings (were pretty decent).
I don’t really like putting places down but I was so let down since the only place to find good bar-​b-​que seems to be in West Philly. Guess I shouldn’t stray anymore.

We just hired Pig Daddy’s to cater a party for 35 people. Not only was the food spectacular, but also the quantities were enormous. There were leftovers for everyone to take home. Arranging the menu and setup could not have been easier. Chris is a pleasure to deal with. This was the easiest gig I’ve ever arranged. The crew arrived exactly on time, set up quickly, had an efficient line, kept the chilled food cold and the hot food warm. Very accommodating of special requests. They cleaned up and left the area spotless. I cannot say enough good about Pig Daddy’s and look forward to hiring them again!

Haven’t tried this joint in years. Always wondered why. Then my order arrived at my house. Excitedly open the bag to find no sides. Called and was told they’d be there shortly. They were and then it all kicked in. The sides are barely that. To call them sides is a crime. Then the much anticipated ribs. Dry is an understatement. The wings were undercooked with lots of red inside. The BBQ shrimp were the best of the bunch but still left something to be desired. All in all very disappointing. Remember now why it had been years since I’d been there. Threw the menu out. Never again.

Used to go here every once in a while and it was pretty hit or miss but mostly hit and if you caught it on the right day it was actually pretty amazing. I think that’s when a lot of the buzz started about this place but it’s gone extremely down hill and I no longer go. I tried some of the Mexican food. No idea why they sell it but it stinks. I asked the guy behind the counter what he eats a lot and he said he loves the burgers so I ordered a burger. It was absolutely awful. Decided to go back to the usual bbq brisket, chicken and ribs and it was pretty weak. Tasted kind of old. Also the sides were embarrassingly small. Bbq places are about big hearty portions. What’s with the tiny ketchup container of baked beans?

My family and I picked up BBQ from this place. We had mac and cheese and a rack of the pork spare ribs. Considering the lack of BBQ available in this area I think this place is pretty good. The ribs were tasty and tender. I thought the sauce was just right. The service was quick and efficient it was ready within 15 min. It was barely enough time to drive there and pick it up. I would go back again.
In terms of people saying this place was dirty I’d have to say yes it isn’t the cleanest place in the world. However, all the food prep areas appeared clean. The places that I felt could be cleaner were the floor and the small waiting area but this certainly didn’t influence the quality of the food. Based off my feelings of this place I don’t think I’d order Mexican food from them. I think there would be better places in this area.
I’m surprised that this place got so many bad reviews. It is certainly not a 1 star place in my book.

Tried this place. Was ok at best. I was disappointed. It would have so much potential if only it were good. I suggest the owner do some traveling down south and get new recipes

I don’t know what everyone is complaining about. It’s a bbq joint with good bbq. Nobody goes to a take out bbq joint for the ambiance. The food is very tasty with lots of different options.

I do not care what anyone else says about this place, they are wrong!!! Best boneless buffalo wings I have ever had. They are big and meaty. Just how I like it. Also there southern style greens, oh yes amazing. Oh friendly staff as well.
It is a tiny place but in my opinion, these are amongst the best food places. You cannot go by looks of a place. The kitchen looked clean compared to fast food places and other top restaurants who are dirty beyond your imagination. I really think people need glasses. It’s not the prettiest place but what do I care. The food is AWESOME! Definitely one of the best places in Delco.
It’s hard to find places like this. I used to live in the city, so I know good food. And the prices are very reasonable.
I look forward to trying more items on their menu and I am very happy I found this awesome place.

One of dirtiest places I’ve ever entered. Hard to get exited about eating when you’re surrounded y filth.

Yikes, where do I start. After reading all the good reviews online about one of the best places for bbq, we ordered and drove to pick it up. I was the one picking up the order. Had I seen the place first, we never would have ordered from here.
Walking in the door you come into the smallest, dirtiest waiting area I have ever seen. Had the feel of a greasy car repair shop, not a food establishment. There wasn’t a clean surface anywhere, the chairs for people to sit on where filthy, literally. It looked like nothing had been cleaned or disinfected ever… only enough room for 2 – 3 people.
Let me just say we will not be ordering from this place again because of the condition of the place, which makes you question the storage of the food and overall food safety. Doesn’t Delco have health inspectors? This place is way overdue for a visit before someone gets sick.
Those who took the challenge and ate the NC bbq sandwiches and chips said it was tasty but nothing memorable, but they did however spend the night in the «facilities» saying it went right through them. no wonder.
My personal advice would be to find a clean bbq place that serves just bbq, and not a confusing bunch of mexican, too. Chips were good but bland. Odd set up and so very dirty. Beware, see the place before you eat the food.
All I can figure, is whoever on the websites for good regional bbq (other than Unilocal) did not pick up the orders they ate themselves. Me thinks the reviews would be much different.

The first two times we ordered from here it was fantastic! Fresh, and really delicious but the next two times we were super disappointed, they got our order wrong plus the chicken on my salad was almost inedible… wanted to like it but not worth the money too inconsistent.

Tried this place several times and came away with the same result, awful food. The bill is always over $ 75 and the regret is priceless. The baked beans was like a lump of glue and really tasteless. The ribs were greasy and tasteless. They must boil them before they dab them with bar-​b-​q sauce. Yuck. I should have known it was a bad idea when I got attitude from the guy when I called in the order. If you want really great ribs and a byob then go to Jimmy’s in Malvern. If you want something closer then try Engine 23 Smokehouse in Morton near the train station. Whatever you do, avoid this joint!!!

We have eaten here multiple times. The very last time my girlfriend got the ribs and got severely sick (probably food poisoning) vomiting and diarrhea for 2 days. Needless to say that will have been our last time eating from there.

You know, I really want to like this place. We need more great barbecue places in Delco. And I’ve found that the people who run this place are very nice and actually do seem to care about what they are doing, at least on the surface. Whenever I’ve been there, I’ve heard stories about how they make their own ingredients. I really think there’s a measure of pride that they take here in what they serve.
Which is why it actually pains me to say this. The last order I got from them, pretty underwhelming.
It was an order for Super Bowl Sunday, and in basic terms this is how it went…
The order of chipotle bbq wings were a letdown. Very faint chipotle flavor. It was barely there. They were not worth the price they were charging for them. And let’s just say they weren’t quite jumbo.
The buffalo wings were not bad. Neither were the buffalo shrimp although they got a bit soggy in the takeout container. Consider it the hazard of getting takeout.
My wife got fajitas, decided they were nothing special, and didn’t even bother finishing them.
The chips and salsa weren’t bad, and were fresh and homemade.
I really wish I could give more stars. But «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» sums this up just right.

I had a hankering for some BBQ, opposed to going to McDonald’s or other fast food fare.
So, my fiancée found this place near where my son plays little league. Wanting to find a good «go-​to» BBQ place, I decided to try this place.
HUGE MISTAKE
Okay, my fiancée ordered over the phone, otherwise I would have seen the first red flag… what BBQ joint in the world sell MEXICAN FOOD and BBQ? I didn’t find that out until after I grabbed a menu on the way out.
Well, on the drive home, I of course could smell the food I’d picked up. I kept smelling different and conflicting smells from the bag. I smelled something I can’t even describe, and also vingear, and some other stuff.
We get the food home, and it looks like dog food.
Who makes macaroni and cheese with penne? Why did the green beans look like escarole?
Why in the world did the BBQ sauce on the ribs and chicken wings taste like TOMATO SAUCE??? I made it through 2 ribs and put it away. I actually re-​prepared them tonight, and used my own BBQ sauce, and they tasted so much better. In what world can I cook a BBQ joint’s food BETTER than they make it???
Stay away from this place… for your own sanity… and for your own pallet…
