Deke's BBQ

After 20 years in the food industry, I left my job in the event planning and catering industry to open a roadhouse style BBQ restaurant in a restored two bay garage in my neighborhood of Manayunk-Roxborough. With an emphasis on authentic, American BBQ cooked in old fashioned iron barrel pits that I helped design and build, the business took off. By 2012, my wife Jackie was able to leave her job in the event planning industry and devote herself full time.

Ten years, three stores and two food trucks later, our mission remains the same - to deliver authentic BBQ in a friendly, casual, rustic atmosphere. The collard greens, the pickles, the ribs and chicken, the pork and brisket, the dry rub, the hardwood cooking - it hasn’t changed. We hope to bring some lip-smacking goodness to you soon.
