"Deke’s began as a passion project based out of a Manayunk garage. Though the Ridge Avenue location is closed, Deke’s Garage Roadhouse Bar-B-Que in Germantown lives on. It serves slow-cooked St. Louis ribs, Carolina pulled pork, and Texas brisket. Also on offer: sandwiches (including a brisket cheesesteak), cornbread, collard greens, and desserts like pecan pie." - Ernest Owens
