I've passed this place a million times on the way to Lowe's and thought it was a hole in the wall but the inside is really nice and it's well worth a visit. I came here with a friend for lunch on a Wednesday and it was basically empty but honestly should be packed. Our server had excellent recommendations. I got the two meat combo with ribs and brisket with sides of baked beans and zucchini. The meats are cooked superably and they don't use too many spices so you can really taste it with the smoking. They had several barbecue sauce options to spice it up if you want. Highly recommend the sweet potato cornbread. My friend said the Wilson burger was the best burger he's had in Philly. They have vegan cheese for diary free folks as well. This was excellent barbecue food and maybe a go to in the future for me. Will definitely be back. read more

The BBQ here is excellent, some the best I've ever had. Since there are more Gordon Ramsey visit, there is a focus on the dining room, which changed everything for me. I highly recommend checking them out. Watch their Facebook page for special and limited time items. read more

Wilson's Secret Sauce - Pulled pork, Mac and Cheese, baked beans, blueberry corn muffin - Barbeque Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

Never disappointed when I come here. Food is constantly excellent servers are always friendly and accommodating at this byob barbecue joint. My brisket was tender and the collard greens had the perfect amount of heat. Corn bread moist and full of flavor. Our server was kind enough to give me small containers to hold the greens and extra bbq sauce and a bigger container for the leftover brisket so they would not be mixed together. Very thoughtful and another reason why I like to come here. read more

This place is great. I love their brisket, ribs, and wings. But my favorite item on their menu is the brisket cheesesteak. I like it with cooper sharp, mushrooms, sweet or hot peppers. This cheesesteak might be top 3 for me. read more

First time at W.S.S. Saturday afternoon there was no wait. Two friendly waitresses greeted me. First I was going to do take out but since it was not crowded. I decided to sit and take my time to enjoy it fresh and hot. The smoke turkey was best part of the meal. Favorable and good portions. The grill chicken was juicy and good. The Mac and cheese was the best of the sides. The yams my least favorite. The baked beans was so so as was the collard greens. The Wilson secret sauce was really good best mgreat job on the sauce read more

Wilson's Secret Sauce - Smoked Brisket Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

We got delivery last week because we couldn't get to the actual restaurant and it was as amazing as ever!! The food is so so so good!!

I was really excited to try this place after seeing it on TV, but unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the hype. I placed a phone order and the older woman who answered seemed overwhelmed. She said my order would be ready in 10 minutes -- I told her I wouldn't arrive for 30, and she said "OK" and hung up. Later, I called back to add smoked turkey, and a different woman told me my order had been canceled because I wasn't coming right away. When I asked why no one told me, she claimed I had hung up before they could -- which wasn't true. Despite the confusion, I still placed an order for: * Brisket sandwich * Smoked turkey * Mac and cheese * Potato salad When I arrived, Alanna at the counter was very sweet and polite. She let me know it wasn't ready yet and asked me to wait a few minutes, which was totally fine. Once I got home, the presentation was on point -- everything looked great. But unfortunately, the food didn't deliver: * The **brisket sandwich** had jalapeños (was only told it had peppers -- I'm not a fan of jalapeños), and it came on a plain bun with no sauce on it (though they did include BBQ on the side). * The **mac and cheese** was warm but lacked any real flavor. * The **smoked turkey** was well-seasoned but very dry. * The **potato salad** was bland. I spent $63.80 and really wanted to love it, but the food just wasn't worth it for me. Between the phone order confusion and the underwhelming flavor, I won't be returning. read more

The food was really tasty. I enjoyed the Brunswick stew the best. It was even better than when I had in low country Ga where it originated. Our cashier was nice enough since we ordered to go and it was our first time. The restaurant was really cute as well with the Pig decor we didn't realize it was a sit down restaurant. I plan to eat in one day. The deserts were good as well a little pricy but tasty. read more

I've driven by this place so many times in the past. After seeing their episode air on Gordon Ramsay's show Secret Service, I knew I had to try it once and for all. I met some friends for lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't as busy as I would have expected, but there were a few tables taken. The decor is awesome. Kelly, one of the owners, took our order. She was very nice and the perfect amount of attentive so my friends and I could catch up. We all ordered something different: brisket platter, pulled pork platter, and the Pineapple Expression sandwich. I had the brisket and it was everything I hoped it would be. Juicy, good flavor, ample portion. The fatty parts so good! Bbq sauce was not even needed. The corn bread was delicious too. The butter on top was in the shape of a pigs face. I thought that was a really cute touch. I wasn't the biggest fan of the potato salad, it was too saucey, but it wasn't bad. I tried my friends grilled squash/zucchini. Amazing! Really nice char and flavor. I tried my other friends mac n' cheese. Really good! I'll definitely be getting it next time. I was eyeing the brisket cheesesteak, corn nuggets, and fried pickles (among other items) on the menu too. Steve, the owner and head chef, came out to greet the tables. Such a nice guy and easy to talk to. I hope good things happen for Wilson's! Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Best baked beans I have ever had. The collar greens were spicy which I loved. A Havertown favorite spot for sure. Service was great. Interior looks amazing. read more

The beans and collard greens were delicious, but there are better ribs at La Cabra and Sophie's (these are a bit tough and rubbery) and the chicken was just bad. I likely won't be coming back here. read more

Wilson's is only getting 3* from me. I wish I could give more but I simply cannot. Let's start with the good... - The service was great. I don't know the name of the individual working the counter and also running orders of food, but she deserves a raise and a medal. Crushed it. - The sides were really good. I loved the mac & cheese. Quite peppery. The baked beans also had a little heat, which I appreciated. The not so good... - Kind of expensive for what you get, IMO. - The cornbread, despite asking for 'regular' instead of 'sweet' was still too sweet. I like cornbread with absolutely no sugar whatsoever, but this was not that. - I'm not one to complain about comfort and ambiance usually, but man that AC was cranking and blowing right on me. The air was so strong that the curtains were moving and it blew my napkin off the table a couple of times. The really not so good... - The pulled pork was dry and bland. I posted a couple of pictures. I don't see any smoke ring or moisture on this pork. It was kinda bad. I had to drown it in the BBQ sauce (which I really liked, btw) to make it tolerable. If I come back, I will not be getting the pulled pork. I'll check out the brisket next time. read more

Always a treat to go to Wilsons. Love the people, the ambience, and of course the food!!! No matter what I get it's delicious, good portions, and great selections. I also learned that this family oriented business feeds the homeless in Kensington and is involved in many community events. I support businesses that give back!!! Good luck to all of you read more

I went with a group of friends last night, and ordered the brisket platter. It was the most amazing brisket I've ever had, tender and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the pulled pork and said it was wonderful! The owner and Chef came out and greeted all the tables. Both he and his wife were very warm and welcoming. I loved the decorating and colors that they used. We will definitely be back! read more

Food is delicious. Love their brisket. Always try to get the platters but can't finish because it's so filling.

Having visited the South each year for a few years now, I have found some very good traditional BBQ places, so that's my bar for comparison. These guys are pretty strong but 3.5 stars compared to my southern eats spots (round to 4). The prices are high. The portions are okay. The taste is good. I felt a need for salt on a lot. I didn't need sauce, though, because meat flavors were good enough to stand alone. It was decent and worthy for good local BBQ. read more

Spent 210.00 for Thanksgiving dinner called November 12, put in order they said ran out desserts The food was horrible no seasoning never again. Do not waste your money .My Thanksgiving is ruined read more

I have been meaning to try this place since I drive by it everyday a few times. I finally made it in for take out. The place was quite busy at 3 ish pm and it smelled amazing so I was excited. Nice staff and my order was taken quickly and the wait was about 15 minutes. I really enjoyed everything with the exception of the barbecue sauce. Glad they out that on the side. It just had a weird after taste. I'm used to BBQ Spots having some sauce choices, which I wished they had here and hopefully they will. Ya know like cortina style, a mustard style, a spicier option, just a suggestion from a new customer that will for sure veo going back again to try the rest of the menu! read more

I've passed this restaurant many times on my way to and from work, and finally got the chance to try it. I ordered the ribs, corn, and carrots. My husband ordered the brisket (fatty), beans, and coleslaw. My husband said the fatty brisket was too fatty (which I told him he can't complain about because they offer lean, fatty, mixed, or burnt ends, and he chose fatty). He really enjoyed the coleslaw, but the beans were just alright to him. I on the other hand thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I ate past the warning signs of fullness my stomach started to send me. My whole meal had the perfect amount of smokiness that I expect from a bbq joint. The only bbq that I've had that rivals this one was a hole-in-the-wall place in Minnesota I'll probably never find again (). We also got the brussels sprouts with pork loin and it was quite good. The sprouts could've done with some more char, but overall a delight. We also tried the reg and blueberry cornbread. The cornbread received my husband's highest praise of the night, and my blue berry cornbread was perfectly sweet and savory. The amount of food we got was more than fair and I will certainly order at work for lunch in the future. read more

Had a good experience at Wilson's. I wasn't a huge fan of the buffalo cauliflower app but the cheesesteak and burger were really solid - when I'm in town, I'd come back. Service was great and the owner cane out to chat/ask us how everything was which was really nice - he genuinely cares about his food and customers read more

I stopped by Wilson's to pick up lunch on my way home from work, and the brisket tacos were delicious. The portion size was good, and all the ingredients were fresh. Loved the guacamole and pickled onions on the taco! I didn't have to wait long for my food to be prepared, and the woman who waited on me was friendly, and she addressed me by name. (I had given her my name when I ordered, but I thought it was great that she mentioned my name while I was ordering and paying for my food.) The makeover of the restaurant looks great! Head over to Wilson's if you want to experience great barbecue! read more

Very yummy . The esthetic down to the customer service will have me back in no time. Thankyou it was a pleasure.

Called for Takeout for the Eagles Game. Told us 25 minutes to pick up. Ordered the Smoked Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese, and Loaded Brisket Egg Rolls for the appetizers. Which also came with fries. Both were spectacular. Our main meal was a rack of ribs, we asked for them cut. They were so tender and also delicious. We know know that next time we can order a 1/2 rack as we had too much food, but we wanted to try an assortment. Next time we will try the sandwiches. Can't wait to order again, do not know why it took us so long to order in the first place. read more

When I typed in "vegan places near me", I did not expect to see a BBQ spot pop up! I was hype!!! Make sure you come here HUNGRY! The portion sizes are huuuge but I'm not complaining (I can't wait to eat my leftovers). The platters come with two delicious sides and that delicious cornbread. My family and I definitely had the itis after leaving lol. Shoutout to our waitress, Amy for being patient with us. We had a long day before coming here and our brains were not all the way lol. Amy was kind and attentive. A couple of things rubbed me the wrong way. The number of signs of the do's & don'ts. The LONG script at the table. I was thankful that the woman in charge (I guess) told us about it. Mainly about price changes, 20% gratuity automatically added, and idk what else because I zoned out. However, I was not pleased with how she treated the new employee. The man who sat us down was new and we could tell he was nervous which is completely understandable. Before we were seated, he was putting our number in the computer and the woman in "charge" said, "what are you doing?" "Well, why are you on this part?" He's new and in training, meaning it would have been kind to teach where he needs to check us in on the computer. With all of this said, I would 100% come back for the food, and it's BYOB! read more
