I was at swathmore food truck festival and I parked blocks away and all I could smell was the delicious coming from this food truck! I could not wait to get in line and order. Had waited a few minutes in line and then about 10 minutes for my order. I had ordered a brisket platter with greens and Mac and cheese. It was not hot when I got it, and they did not give me a fork and when I asked they didn’t have any. It was $25 and absolutely not worth the price. The brisket was watery and didn’t have any flavor the Mac and cheese had no flavor it’s didn’t even taste cheesy. The greens were flavorless as well they didn’t have seasoning. It was extremely disappointing especially since the truck said best bbq in Philly that is not even close to being an accurate statement!!
Me & The Family went to the Foodee Festival expecting wonderful food & Barkleys BBQ was extremely Dissapointed. The greens were sour, The six Cheese Mac & Cheese was Bland. My Ribs were Burnt & not fully cooked. I was extremely unhappy due to the amount of Money that i paid to go home & not get to eat my food. Also, i had never seen Bricket served Shredded like that. I believe a Rebecca promised me that i would like it but it was extremely Dissapointed . I waited close to 50 minutes for this Combo platter that turned out to not be so good and i ended it up dumping it.
Barclay’s Barbecue advertises itself as having the “best soul food in Philly,” but unfortunately, my experience did not live up to that claim. I visited Barclay’s Barbecue at the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival in Tampa on Saturday, February 14. The line was long, largely because the food smelled good and the signage was eye-catching. However, the wait and the final product were disappointing. As a VIP ticket holder, I was entitled to a free barbecue plate from participating vendors. Every other vendor honored this without issue, but Barclay’s stated that the VIP ticket only covered $15 toward a plate, requiring additional payment. After waiting nearly an hour in line, this was unexpected and frustrating. The food itself did not justify the extra cost. The barbecued meat was overly salty, while the macaroni and cheese and collard greens lacked flavor. To make matters worse, there was only one person taking orders, which significantly slowed the line. After ordering, I was given a pager and waited an additional 45 minutes for the food. Overall, the experience was not worth the time or the money. I regret using my VIP ticket here and wish I had chosen another vendor.
