Revival BBQ

"Another spot that guarantees you a brief residency on the sidewalk is Revival BBQ in Fishtown. At this window-only restaurant, you’ll find a brisket cheesesteak, smoked gouda mac and cheese, crab and bacon jalapeno poppers, and vegan options like a jackfruit sandwich. We checked out Revival BBQ. Read our thoughts here." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Revival BBQ is a window-service spot in Fishtown that shares a kitchen with Saint Lazarus Bar. It usually has a line of buzzed, hungry guests out front, and that’s who it tastes like it’s made for. Nothing on the menu is recommendable, from the cornbread with a mealy maple filling to the brisket cheesesteak, which is packed with dry chunks of meat and congealed globs of provolone. If you’re in the mood for smoked meat, head to Fette Sau nearby. This place only works if you’re at least three shots of whiskey deep, and desperate to eat. video credit: CANDIS R.
