The Perky - Phoenixville

So anytime I am hitting BBQ outside of the south, I get a little nervous, but was excited to try this place with good reviews. As we pulled up to the restaurant (located in a residential area and inside of what was previously a house), I knew this would be unique. Lots of parking in the rear on a Saturday afternoon. Inside is divided into two rooms that are fairly dark with a casual industrial vibe overlaid with kinda loud pop music playing, loads of large TVs on the walls playing football games, random casino game machines, and 2 large bars in each room. I can't decide if this is a neighborhood dive bar or a small restaurant but seeing as everyone was crowding the bars watching the games, it felt more dive sports bar than restaurant. This place is small there are probably 6 10 tables total with a mix of booths and tall tables. I think one busy waitress was serving everyone but we never waited long for her to stop by and she always brought us everything we needed quickly, great service. Decent draft beers selection. I think they have a small kitchen because 2 3 meals come out at a time, with a few minutes between each meal. The food is very reasonably priced for BBQ (ex. $21 for 1/4 pound brisket, 3 ribs, and onion rings) and the portions were all very large, and the quality was great. They have 4 flavors of sauce on each table, none are particular spicy if that is your thing. The ribs were great and the brisket was tender and delicious (but more lean and less wet/ fatty). Overall we were all happy with the food, the vibe is a little unique so depends on the outing you looking for.

We stop here when I take my boys to the convention hall down the street for the Philly sports card shows. My son's love the Mac n cheese and I enjoy the BBQ. The honey mustard sauce at the tables is really good. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We tried going there and there just wasn’t enough tables to fit many people and no matter where we stood we felt like we were hovering over other people eating and we just felt uncomfortable so we left Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
