Dwights Southern Bar-B-Que II

Love this place! The food is very good. Love the owners also, if you experience a problem with the workers being rude, just ask for Dwight (the owner) or his wife. They will correct the issue. On the weekends you may have to wait a little bit but it is so worth it. Best BBQ and soul food.

Workers are rude, I called my order in, when I got there they said the food I ordered was gone an there was no more left, Smh like they could not have told me that over the phone, this is a business right, very disappointed

The best time to go to Dwight’s is Lunchtime service is quick and usually I am in and out within 15 mins. I have yet to get a bad platter from THIS location. The Ribs are phenomenal, (I really think it’s the sauce)

Food is awesome! The service blows. Someone complained on how slow they where and one of the workers just smiled and decided to go even slower..

The food is amazing… I love the cabbage, the ribs, the greens… the BBQ sauce is great… the macaroni and cheese is too salty! Salt is not a substitution for ample cheese and quality seasoning! The owner is really nice! However, you will encounter some attitudes. One of my friends told me about the Turkey Wings– and I asked for a sample of it and the worker told me no. However… I saw him give samples to the girl before me! Guy with a large beard… I avoid him! My friend and I came in and people came in after us and we’re served before us. Other than the service… I like the place.

I have to give this place 5 stars just so everyone knows the food is delicious.
Yes, the service is abysmal. Yes, you will wait 40 mins or maybe more. Yes, you will encounter bad attitudes from the workers.
But this place has THE BEST BBQ AND SIDE DISHES IN PHILADELPHIA. PERIOD.
If they have cornbread stuffing, do yourself a favor and get a large order with some gravy, because it runs out quick.
Even when this place doesn’t have what I want (like when they run out of stuffing), I’ll try something that I’ve never had before and it’s always delicious. Their food has never disappointed me.
Don’t come here for the experience… Just come for the food. And hope you get it in a reasonable timeframe.
If you ask me, it’s generally worth it.

Love the chopped beef and everything else is pretty much fantastic. This place is the real deal and we come here every time we visit Philly.

Just grab a pork rib platter with Mac and Cheese, yam for the Eagles game .go eagles !!

This place SUCKS… Smells better than it taste, cuz we all know the smell of bbq is enough to get you in the door. It is NOT the old school spot it used to be. They’re in business only cuz ppl still gotta eat, and it’s a ton of foot traffic walking by… This ain’t your pop’s bbq, not your uncle’s, not your neighbor… Save that taste for the next cookout!

Let me first start by saying the food here is delicious. It’s a no frills takeout spot. There is no seating. The baked BBQ chicken is delicious. I ordered a baked chicken wing platter with Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. It was fantastic.
On the other the hand the service is SLOOOOOOOW. I waited between 30 – 40 minutes for my food bc one of the cooks forgot to put chicken in the oven. If you’re in a rush I definitely would chance coming here because you never know what your wait time is going to look like. If you have time definitely stop by. I would have given it for starts if not for the shaky service. The server did give me an extra wing for my wait.

I use to love there food ok prices. But the last time I went there and never again. i ordered some BBQ chicken wings. I checked my food when I got outside because it was crowded as usual. There we feathers all over my chicken. smh So I went back in got my money back they offered to exchange but im cool. that proves to me they dont take the time to clean there chicken and im fine

This place was highly recommended to me and I was really looking forward to it, but was a bit disappointed. The BBQ sauce was delicious, but my chicken was a bit dry. The portions are huge. The mac & cheese tasted like something out of a box. That is was disappointed me. From other reviews I expected to get some homemade mac & cheese, but not even close. I’m still willing to give the Lancaster spot a try — I see they have better reviews.

I’m a huge BBQ fan so I was excited to try this place out. At first I was a little skeptical. At most legit ‘cue places, you can smell the smoke from a block away – not the case here. Also I spotted a number of wholesale-​sized sauce jars hanging out where they prepare the food boxes. Bulk sauce usually isn’t a great sign. At this point I was prepared for a disappointment, but their food did win me over. Here’s the breakdown…
Meat: Overall pretty solid. It seems like they grill the meat over direct heat as opposed to the true Southern «low and slow» smoking method as there isn’t a distinct smokiness to the meat. Despite that minor infraction, the results are good. I get the half slab of pork ribs. They come with a nice, crispy char on the outside. In true Philadelphia style, you get the spare ribs with the tips still attached. The ribs are meaty and the tip portions contain a lot of fat lending tenderness to the meat. Slightly chewy just as they should be.
Sauce: Hard to describe. It’s not the thick tomato-​based sauce you see frequently around these parts. Another reviewer said it was watered down, and I’d say it almost has a sweet&sour consistency. Despite that, I love it. The hot sauce has a nice blend of sweet and heat and makes up for the lack of smokiness in the meat. The heat doesn’t overpower the taste at all but leaves you sweating a bit towards the end of your meal. They give you a ton of it allowing you to mix it in with your sides. I firmly believe that sliced white bread was invented for sopping this stuff up.
Sides: They have some winners here. The mac & cheese was full of black pepper – just the way I like it. The collards seem like they were cooked in some grandmother’s kitchen – slowly simmering for hours with lots of pork fat. They were not bitter at all. The candied yams looked really good, but I prefer to get a slice of sweet potato pie for dessert. The pie looks like it could be homemade and tastes fantastic.
You can find much better BBQ in other parts of the country, but Dwight’s might be the best I’ve had in Philly.

I have been getting take-​out there for years and have always enjoyed my meals. Yesturday, I got watered down sauce on my ribs. The Worst. I guess the recession has got the best of them too.

if your looking for a quick meal this is your place, but it does get crowded

I was in the mood for BBQ, so I stopped by Dwight’s not quite knowing what to expect. Well, Dwight’s was pleasantly surprising. I was in and out within 5 minutes taking with me a slab of pork ribs, yams and macaroni and cheese. I got home and dove into the goodies. The ribs were tender and meaty; the sauce had just the right amount of heat. The yams and mac and cheese were decent. I will be going back soon to try the brisket!!!

Well this place is a bigger than the one on Lancaster and they have more menu choices. All this means is that this is alot more crowded than the other one. Still no chairs or tables so don’t expect to relax and wait on your food. Plan for at least a 40 min. wait and if you do plan on being ahead of the game by calling first and picking your food up, plan on still having at least a 10 or 15 min. wait at the very least.
