Second time here and yes the brisket is tender and smoky. Man it’s good!! I like it better without the carmelized onions.

Delicious is an understatement! Tried some of everything and was not disappointed. My husband is a KC BBQ lover and he loved this… The meats stood on their own with barely any sauce needed – they were cooked to perfection! Super friendly service, fantastic vibe. Bring a six pack sit a the outside picnic table and enjoy!

My wife and I had the ribs and the brisket sandwich – everything was absolutely phenomenal and tender the meat basically melted in our mouths. My son who is an extremely picky eater also enjoyed the ribs so you know they were tasty when all he eats is hot dogs, pizza, and chicken fingers. The sticky bacon and baked beans were great sides and were honestly big enough to be an appetizer. The owner Brian Duffy was there talking to the customers and preparing the food himself, which was a big deal to me. I will definitely be back very soon to try some of the items we didn’t get to have yet.

Outrageously good! Got Lancaster with brisket for take out. Everything was incredible! Meats cooked perfectly, fries seasoned great didn’t go soggy on the trip home. Sides of corn, slaw, Mac (Mac was the only detractor-a bit vinegar tasting for me personally), and cornbread was smokey, a touch of spice and great!

Very disappointed with the take out we had tonight!! I had gotten a recommendation that the ribs were excellent but they had run out. The brisket was 50% fat and hardly edible. The pulled pork was better but not great. We threw out all the Mac and cheese and the corn bread. A little hint for you: Mac and cheese should taste creamy and cheesy, not overly spiced. And corn bread should taste like corn!! Everything tasted like you used a smoking rub. Please stop complicating your food!! Have you ever heard the expression “less is more”? The baked beans were the best thing we had.

9/10/2020 visit Flank steak and ribs were great. Update visit 9/12/20 Came back again for Ribs and brisket. Ribs were not very good. Very fatty. I mean like almost all fat. Really hard to chew, needed a lot of sauce. Was disappointed because the ribs last time were melt in your mouth good. Ended up giving them to my doggy. Brisket was fantastic! I’m gonna try again and hope it was just a fluke.

You can taste this food is made by a chef. I eat BBQ A LOT and this place is awesome! Such bold flavors. We ordered wings both hot BBQ sauce and chili garlic. We also ordered rib tips. The ribs tips sauce was a masterpiece so well balanced.

I love BBQ so I have to be honest. They probably have some of the best pulled pork in the Philadelphia area. Very flavorful, spicy, smoky, midwest style pork, not the sweet/vinegar Carolina style. Most of the sides are pretty good…the baked beans are very good. The pulled chicken is not bad, but bland next to the pulled pork. The bbq chicken and wings are spiced well, but unfortunately they’re kind of dry as if made earlier in the day. It’s one thing to make fatty pork or beef way ahead of time since the fat keeps them moist, but that doesn’t work with chicken. Also, unfortunately the brisket just isn’t that good and it simply is not tender. For the cost, I would not recommend the brisket.

We have ordered from this restaurant for years . We ordered April 10th the only thing good was the fries. My pulled pork sandwich came with burnt roll, no barbeque sauce and tasted gamey. My husband’s brisket sandwich was very fatty. He had to pick apart sandwich and cut fat off! It has gone down hill since Guy , the previous owner left. We wont go back!

Ordered from Ardmore Q last night. I have to say, we were quite disappointed. The brisket was excellent, but I found everything else to be pretty mediocre (and we tried just about everything). The ribs were fatty and flavorless, the wings were bland, turkey leg was tough, dry and chewy and the corn literally made me gag. I hope they can get it right in the future but for now I will avoid this place.
