"Deke’s began as a passion project based out of a Manayunk garage. A decade later there are two locations: Deke’s Bar-B-Que for takeout on Ridge Avenue and Deke’s Garage Roadhouse Bar-B-Que in Germantown. Both serve 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. The Germantown restaurant even has a full bar." - Eater Staff, Caroline Coral

Always love the BBQ at Deke's. The brisket cheesesteak is a must-have and their sweet cornbread and other sides are great. Ribs are the perfect fall off the bone tenderness. They have some tables outside if you'd like to eat there, and they're right next to the Septa terminal and beginning of the Wissahickon bike trails. Great spot to stop after a hike!

Ordered through door dash, gave this location a try as we go to the other location on Berkeley St. Each platter had dry pork & brisket, over cooked wedges, and Peach Cobbler was terrible SMH. Paid near $40 wish I can get my money back, never again.

The Brisket here is phenomenal and i’ve been to Franklins in Austin Texas. It was salty and sweet and melted in your mouth in the brisket cheesteak I got. I would highly recommend trying this as it’s one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly.

First of all, don't go expecting that barbecue flava from down south and what have you. That ain't what ur gonna to get. I happened upon this place purely by accident. I tried to make a u-turn and noticed the signs in the parking lot saying no u turn, and "Customer Parking Only". Now feeling obligated, I got out of my vehicle and went in to check it out. After checking out the menu I decided to go ahead and get dinner for me and my Babe. I ordered pulled chicken platter which came with the potato wedges and coleslaw. I also got sides of collard greens and mac and cheese. It was all good said the least. I did enjoy it and I will be going back. I do recommend, and I wish I would have followed the lead of the gentleman before me, by getting extra sauce on the side. If you don't like spicy greens don't get'em. But I do mean to say that this ish was real good, IMO. The pulled pork sandwich platter is what I got for my better half she said that the pork was nice and tender and as with my platter it could have used more sauce. Again I suggest getting extra sauce on the side. She really enjoyed the potato wedges, extremely good very different I love them too. She like the slaw but end up adding some Dukes mayonnaise to hers, that's her thing, nothing against the restaurant. 🙂 Like I said earlier I will go back and ask you can see in my photo I give this restaurant...A fork up.

Brisket cheesesteak. I think I now know the difference between BBQ brisket and smoked brisket. I prefer barbecue brisket. It is juicier/fattier. Deke cuts about half inch thick brisket fillets and puts them on a roll. I was expecting chopped since it's called a cheesesteak. The good news, you'll see in the video, is the brisket filet cheesesteak reheats phenomenally well. I got the fried onions on it. They seem more like sauteed and big chunks which I prefer. The onions added a little sweetness. The brisket had some sweetness. Talkin about sweetness, holy matrimony guacamole sassafras slap my face, the pecan pie. Deke’s pecan pie has to be a bucket list item for everyone, mic drop

Dekes is a no frills BBQ. They have some amazing and tender brisket. I have the Brisket Cheesesteak a go and was not disappointed.
