Yesterday I drove one hour from Philadelphia to get five barbecue brisket sandwiches. I got back in time to watch that fantastic Philadelphia Eagles game. I am a certified barbecue judge of the Kansas city barbecue society and also run a large barbecue event every summer. The brisket sandwiches were some of the best I've ever had and I have been up and down the East Coast and made pilgrimages to Kansas City, Memphis and Austin. The brisket was hugely abundant, sumptuous, flavorful and most importantly moist! It had a very smoky flavor but not over done. Perfect balance of beef flavor, smoke and barbecue spices. I would like to think that those sandwiches brought us some luck last evening! Fly Eagles fly... Smoke hillbilly barbecue smoke! Stu Gordon. # 50518 CBJ. read more

Showed up a few minutes before closing and this did not disappoint, the owner was really cool and of course what he recommended was delicious, the ribs. There's a nice outdoor seating area if you can't wait to eat, which is a real concern. Great place would definitely go out of my way to go there read more

best bbq i've had in pennsylvania! i had the brisket sandwich, mac & cheese, & potato salad & all of it was delicious--definitely recommend!! read more

Passed by plenty of times and finally stopped by to check out Hillbilly BBQ. Got the brisket sandwich. Meat was tender and juicy but didnt have a ton of smoke flavor. Portion size was good and price was reasonable. Will definitely be back to try the pork and chicken. read more

They had a pop up at my office and it was fantastic. I had the pulled pork and it did not disappoint. Enough smoke for the taste , but did not over power. I got a few nice chunks of bark and was delicious. Terrific to meet the guys and talk a little shop too. I hope they are back soon! read more

Its good but not great. I think it is slightly overpriced and he is out of something everytime I go. I mean for the same price I can drive up to red robins and have unlimited fries. read more

O-M-G!!!! Great bar-b-q. Saw it on a drive by and had to double back. I am not sorry I did. Great 1/2 and 1/2 sandwich (part pork and part beef), also an amazing Jalapeno Sausage. Do yourself a huge favor, when driving stop here, pull in and get great bar-b-q!! read more

Really good stuff! Who knew you'd find such awesome BBQ in the middle of PA! The portions are enormous and you get a lot for your money. The pulled pork is delicious and the beans, mac and cheese, and ribs will make your mouth water. My husband loved the sausage...particularly the jalapeno sausage. Yummy experience! read more

Drove by & saw him set up on Swamp Pike at the old Dave's Rib Shack. I went up to Wawa to get cash & came back. Only brisket & pork sandwiches, no sides (no refrigeration) and ribs weren't done yet. I got one pork & one brisket sandwich. Sauce was very good. Food was smoky but not overpowering. I liked the pork a little better - it was a bit more tender. Owner was very friendly & told me if I wasn't happy to come back & tell him. I hope to try the ribs in the future. Give it a try. read more

I was driving by this place and decided to stop and try out some of their brisket...when I got to the window they were very friendly and clean... Ordered the brisket sandwich and boy this was the best I have ever had... Very tender and smokey... Had excellent flavor with some bark( hard ends) that I love... The saue was very complimentary to the meat... This sandwich was so good I had to get another one... Would recommend this place to everyone.... Awesome..... Just awesome... read more

I have to rate hillbilly barbecue on a curve since it's only a chuckwagon type set up. I ordered a half-and-half sandwich that is half brisket and half pulled pork it was very good nice smoke flavor I believe the brisket was a bit dry but tasty the pulled pork was very very good I would have it again on it's own they offered two sauces a sweet and hot I tried a hot it too was very good. once again I'd much rather spend seven bucks there then for a greasy burger or greasy sandwich somewhere else. it was worth the stop read more

I ate lunch here about a month ago on the way to Philadelphia. As a native Nashvillian, I know my barbecue and as a food scientist I am pretty aware of good meats and looking for the right smoking technique. I ordered the pork ribs, after asking the owner what I should try. I am happy to say I found a quality of rib that I had not experienced since being back home in the south. The ribs had a good crust from the rub, a good smoke line, and pulled from the bone and wasn't falling off. Perfect tenderness, perfect smokiness. Unlike most other barbecue you find in PA it wasn't saturated in barbecue sauce but was rub-based like in Memphis. I only tried the ribs so I'm basing my review off of them alone. All in all, 2 thumbs up. I will definitely be returning here for the ribs! read more

One word to describe Hillbilly BBQ.....Awesome. Great ribs, brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, etc. Hard to believe such great BBQ is right in our Douglassville neighborhood read more

RJ was booked for our event over 2 months in advance to cater for our 500 guests. A week before our event he called to cancel claiming he had lost our emails and booked a "better" event. Unreliable and Unprofessional to work with! read more

Stopped in after passing this roadside food stand numerous times, and glad I did. Tried the ribs, which are very good, and the brisket, which is really tremendous- the best I have had in Pennsylvania. It is worth the trip! read more

4/28/2013 First and foremost, they do NOT except credit cards, CASH ONLY. My boyfriend and I were disappointed with the quality & cost. We ordered brisket sandwiches (after having to drive to an ATM to get cash) that cost us $14. They were flavorful, but overall mediocre. The bun was soggy and the sandwich did not satisfy either of us. For $14 we assumed that they would be filling and abundant-they were not. We then got the mashed potatoes and baked beans. The baked beans were yummy, aside from them being watery. The mashed potatoes were creamy at best, but other than their consistency they were tasteless and I wished for salt! They only have mac & cheese during the fall season and macaroni salad during the warmer months. (yet, another downfall. why not have the mac & cheese all year 'round?) We definitely wont be returning. What a bummer!! :( read more

Great stuff, especially the ribs. Ribs are smoky, so good you're not sure you want to add the sauce--don't want to disrupt that mmmmm--mmmm gooood flavor! Been going here four years, and never had a bad experience. OK, some of the brisket or pulled pork may be just good, not over the top, but then that's tough and depends what you want--and what you want to pay. For any price the ribs are superb, the rest just very, very good. And remember folks, often the bbq of our memories to which we compare whatever we are licking off our fingers, wasn't that much better--it just had a memory that stood us through the drought we used to have between good barbeques in Pennsylvania until more came here about three to four years ago. read more

If you are driving past this spot be sure to stop. Great prices and the food is awesome! The ribs are delicious and the homemade Mac and Cheese is great. Do you yourself a favor and try this place. A great Barbecue spot is hard to find!! read more

WARNING: do not stop here unless your gut is constructed of building grade steel. We both had the brisket sandwich. The meat was old, stringy and impossible to bite into. The complete opposite of what brisket is supposed to be. There is always the debate with brisket on whether or not you should use a soft roll, or something with more substance. I prefer softee's because I like the effect if the meat and juice becoming one with the roll. Hillbilly uses a cheap Amorosos knockoff kaiser roll. His beverage offerings were water, diet Coke... And.... Uh....Pepsi. Aren't you sort of announcing that you suck, right out of the gate... When you offer Pepsi? I asked him why he offered Diet Coke and not Coke... His response was..."ah, doesn't matter, I just get whatever's cheapest." Hmmm, that's exactly what I wanted to hear from the guy that was about to hand me a meat sandwich. The guilty party here is me however, in the owners defense... He did come out and ask how our sandwiches were, and of course I lied and said they were good. Maybe if I or someone else had the balls to tell him they sucked, he might have some information to act upon. If you are reading this kind sir... Get some Coke, don't be cheap with your meat, and don't lean on your sauce in order to make your meat good. It's not the sauce that makes the meat, it's the meat that makes the sauce. He did have decent bag of chips to accompany the brisket. I think they were Groffs or Utz, can't remember. The stomach is on red alert and I'm only 1/2 hour off the meal... Sorry to be long winded. Keep driving. read more

Good prices great food! Stopped in because we had our dogs with us. I had the chicken husb had pulled brisket - really good! Loved the hot sauce read more

Really good BBQ. Love stopping at little joints on the side of the road. Totally reasonably priced. Great pulled pork. Juicy and tender with a solid smoke ring. Nice lightly creamy slaw. I've lived in Memphis for a bit, NC for a while and dabble in smoking my own (mediocre) BBQ. Hillbilly is definitely up there with any legit BBQ place. read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, where to begin but the beginning of my horrible experience with hillbilly bbq. when googling hillbillys it takes you to the wrong location, so after yelp helped me to find the actual establishment, I mentioned to the man about the mix up and all he could say was "oh i saw that" okay buddy... so after I gave him my order and hes packing my food which was over a 30 dollar purchase, he says you have to heat the pulled pork up, so i give him the benefit of the doubt thinking its just a bit luke warm. all said and done i get back to my car to find pulled pork out of the fridge cold, encased in its unheated fat gelatin, my ribs cold and dry, like roast beef that was forgot in the oven, the rub was pitiful and flavorless, with a bbq sauce that was ketchup and oil. I literally drove 45 minutes home and heated the pork in a skillet only to find a flavorless hotdog taste. not to mention the mac and cheese was a welfare meal of buttered noodles with a dusting of Parmesan cheese. 0/10 please dont waste your money on this dirt cheap food that taste far worse. read more

This was the BEST pulled pork sandwich that I have had in a long time. The Ribs were so moist and had such a great taste. Can't wait to go back and try other selections that they offer !!!!! I would recommend this place to everyone. Prices are fair considering the amount of food you get !!!!! read more
