"Fette Sau is one of the most dependable spots for a big group dinner in Philly. And with long communal tables and massive trays of pulled pork, smoked sausages, a rack of ribs, and a few large sides like smoked corn that can feed at least six people, we can understand why. At the Fishtown spot, everyone orders at the front, heads to the bar to put in their drink order, and then parks up at a picnic table inside or outside where they wait for some juicy, tender hunks of meat. Plus, they have one of the best Happy Hours in town with $5 beers, $4 chicken legs and spicy slaw, and $3 smoked deviled eggs. " - candis mclean
"Brisket, barbecue, and bourbon are always on the menu at Fette Sau, a collaboration between restaurateurs Stephen Starr and Joe Carroll that has a Memphis smokehouse diner vibe. At this Fishtown restaurant, book a reservation for up to 14 people or contact them directly about their special group dining offerings, available for lunch and dinner." - Ernest Owens, George Banks-Weston
"Hit up Fette Sau daily for a hearty meal that will satisfy meaty cravings for less than $9. On the menu: Smoked deviled eggs for $3, two chicken drumsticks with spicy slaw for $4, and a spicy sausage sandwich with red pepper relish for $8. To drink: $2 off all draft beer pints and specialty cocktails." - Ernest Owens
"Joe Carroll's Brooklyn-born barbecue came to Fishtown via a partnership with Stephen Starr back in 2012. So what's kept this barbecue spot popular over the years? It's all in the rub. The brisket's dark crust, rich with a sweet and smoky pungency, is worth a trip all on its own. Fette Sau is open seven days a week and has a good amount of outdoor seating available." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
