So, it seems we have a trilogy here. First, I ask for recommendations for a few teens to eat outside. Then, I rant about their horrific, alienating experience. Now, I want to share karma. Good things happen to good people. After my daughter called me to say that the restaurant I’d spoken to wouldn’t seat her, my husband told her to walk to Ardmore Q. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it to begin with when they were looking for a restaurant near Suburban Square? So, now 4 teens walk to Ardmore Q. They enter, limited numbers at a time, and were told that the kitchen had closed. (It was getting late after all their earlier restaurant hoopla) They left, used to defeat, when a man jumped up from an outdoor table and said- Don’t you like barbecue? They said they did but the kitchen was closed. He said- No it’s not, I own this place! These kids had the best fries, brisket, pulled pork and ribs! It made their night! But most delicious of all, respect. It was certainly a juxtaposition to their earlier adventure. My daughter said the owner, Brian, was with his family and they were lovely. She loved talking to Brian’s Mom! She said she was so sweet! I asked if the twins were there? She said yes! How did I know? I told her I knew them in high school and they were doing quite well in LA. Brian’s Mom may be “sweet” but she raised some insanely successful and kind hearted kids. That takes blood, sweat and tears! I’m going to need Botox from my grin right now! Thank you, Duffy family, for being so lovely to my daughter and her friends!!

You can taste this food is made by a chef. I eat BBQ A LOT and this place is awesome! Such bold flavors. We ordered wings both hot BBQ sauce and chili garlic. We also ordered rib tips. The ribs tips sauce was a masterpiece so well balanced.

Delicious is an understatement! Tried some of everything and was not disappointed. My husband is a KC BBQ lover and he loved this... The meats stood on their own with barely any sauce needed - they were cooked to perfection! Super friendly service, fantastic vibe. Bring a six pack sit a the outside picnic table and enjoy!

It was awesome! Everyone loved it and we had plenty to go around plus leftovers! We will definitely keep you in mind for future events and also definitely highly recommend you guys to others. Thanks so much for being so accommodating & great to work with!

My wife and I had the ribs and the brisket sandwich - everything was absolutely phenomenal and tender the meat basically melted in our mouths. My son who is an extremely picky eater also enjoyed the ribs so you know they were tasty when all he eats is hot dogs, pizza, and chicken fingers. The sticky bacon and baked beans were great sides and were honestly big enough to be an appetizer. The owner Brian Duffy was there talking to the customers and preparing the food himself, which was a big deal to me. I will definitely be back very soon to try some of the items we didn't get to have yet.

Ardmore Sloppy! Say no more! (That’s the name of the sandwich I ate today). This BBQ gem located in Ardmore is a real treat to the greater Philly area. Chef Brian’s creations are top notch. I had a platter last time and the sandwich today, both were stellar. Also, their catering is top-tier as well. I ordered ribs and sticky bacon for the big game this year and that was sensational.

I celebrated my graduation earlier this evening in this gorgeous place. Well it was a sensational evening and the place was clearly one of the reasons for the strong meeting. The team collaborated in a very nice style, the cuisine was extremely good and my buddies were very pleased. We shall no dout return for more events. thanks very much.

I just liked their food. I always get fantastic customer service there. The place is always clean and the cashiers are always very nice. I highly recommend this place.

I was a little worried about spending $10 on a sandwich, but when I got it I could see why. It was packed full of pork and probably one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I’ve ever had. Also I’m not usually a fan of cole slaw but that was pretty great too. I’m not in Ardmore too much, but I know where I’m eating next time I’m in the area.

I went down to Philly for a wedding back in late July and I was staying at my sisters apartment. I heard about Ardmore Q through podcasts as well as tweeting to Chef Duffy online. I’ve been around this country and tried multiple BBQ’s, tried all different styles of ribs with ribs and sauces. Ardmore Q has been the best one so far !!!! One of the key items I specially like about Ardmore Q is that you get a perfect amount of food for a quality price. My goal is to head down to Ardmore Q come New Years and hopefully meet Chef Duffy himself, if he’s not to busy. If anyone is looking for a great BBQ joint I would definitely recommend this restaurant to them.

First time of many more, the food was outstanding! We got the Rittenhouse combo with some pulled pork. Everything was out of this world. To top it off, the owner couldn't have been more friendly! Thanks, Chef Duffy, a pleasure meeting you today!

Solid place with solid people. Caviar screwed up my order once and the owner called me and offered to get one his own guys to drive it out to me. Poutine is absolutely amazing and a generous portion. Other BBQ in general is also solid

Great food and prices. Love everything I have had.

I tried you out for the first time tonight. We ordered the Ardmore Family meal, and it was tremendous! Our gang loved all of it! The chicken was moist, the ribs were done just right, the tips... oh those tips... the tips were awesome. The sides were really well done. Plus, it says it feeds 5-6... we had so much food we could have fed 8. Well done, ArdmoreQ We'll be back.

Joe M.

Great food, great service. Wonderful staff! Love eating outdoors too. I've eaten there many times & the quality is always consistently good.

Mary K.

ArdmoreQ was amazing! My fiancé and I had the Athens which we got brisket, chicken, mac and cheese and creamed spinach with cornbread. Everything thing was delicious and I really love the garlic white sauce and green vinegar-based sauce, which I'm guessing may have been a chimichurri sauce. We will be back!

Mindy D.

Get the chicken and collared greens, coleslaw and cheat with some cornbread

Todd S.

Hidden gem in Ardmore. Small menu of super tasty BBQ, notably Peruvian Chicken! A few other delicacy's, too. BYOB. Love this place. We stop in often before we go to shows at the Ardmore Music Hall.
