Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse

Sweet Lucy's has always been a favorite of mine... I've been ordering from here for over 20 years. Their BBQ ribs are absolutely delicious. Always tender and falling off the bone. This time, though, I wasn't in the mood for BBQ... I just wanted some good ole fashioned comfort food. Sweet Lucy's came to mind. So, I ordered the baked turkey with mashed potatoes and their collard greens. I asked for extra, extra gravy on my turkey and extra gravy on my mashed potatoes. I was extremely disappointed when I got home and saw that I didn't get any extra gravy; not even a little bit. All of that turkey with a drizzle of gravy. The turkey was very tender, but without enough gravy it started to be pretty dry to eat. I ended up having to use some of my husbands BBQ sauce to finish it up, (he got a rack of ribs). It was still tasty, but I really just wanted that gravy. The mashed were phenomenal, as usual. I wish the greens had some smoked turkey pieces in it, or maybe some cooked onions, but they were still pretty good. Ultimately, I feel like they're so busy, that they are starting to miss some things (like my request for some extra gravy), because they're trying to move the line. This place stays busy, and the lines long, but it's for a good reason! Their food is fantastic and their portion sizes are nice. I will definitely be back, but next time, I will check my food before I leave to make sure everything I wanted is there.

Unique but not totally unfamiliar feeling. Place was super clean from the front door to the bathroom to the back of the dining room. Very spacious - was there mid day Saturday Memorial Day weekend. Maybe 50% capacity when I was there. Turnaround from ordering to food arrival on table was less than 5 minutes. Self serve fountain drink, BBQ Sauce, and pickle stations. Parking lot has plenty of room and street parking seemed plentiful

First time coming to Philly for a mini vacation. Googled bbq places near me, and found the restaurant. We traveled with kids. They saw the place and thought it looked sketchy (it's by a warehouse). When inside. Nobody tells you that you have to place your order in a machine. Then you take a number and food will be delivered to your table. The place looked clean and with many people. Customer service wasn't the best, I think maybe they were too busy. The food was delicious . The ribs where very tender and right amount of BBQ. The Mac and cheese was very creamy and plenty. They also serve alcohol on the bar side. Would like in the future a kids menu with more options.

We ordered takeout from here! The food was delicious. The only thing we didn’t care for was the shredded chicken. Everything else was good!

Some of the best southern food I’ve ever had. They have really nice table of side and condiments that are free game. Recommend the cornbread Mac and cheese pulled pork sandwich (and sandwich) and the sweet potatoes (everything I got).

Absolutely phenomenal! Brooke, her husband, and now the whole family are doing an outstanding job. This is hands down some of the best food you can find on this side of the coast—maybe even anywhere in the US! We’ve never eaten better. The flavors, the care, the atmosphere—everything is just perfect. What truly sets Sweet Lucy’s apart is not just the incredible food, but the warmth and dedication of the people behind it. You can taste the love and passion in every bite. It’s rare to find a place that feels like home and serves food that could win awards. We can’t praise everyone at Sweet Lucy’s highly enough. Keep doing what you’re doing, because it’s truly something special!

This place NEVER disappoints! Best BBQ around. Not only do all of the meats have incredible flavor but don’t skip the homemade desserts!! Mouth watering! The pickle bar is also a fun touch.
