Best BBQ Restaurants in Lehigh Valley

A 4.9 rating from more than 1,700 reviewers is nearly unheard of for a restaurant this busy. Bring a group, pace yourself, and let the table do the cooking.

Family-friendly, dog-friendly, and built for lingering — kids on the playground, adults around the fire pits. The Valley's best excuse to spend a whole evening outside.

Barbecue on banker's hours: four days a week and done by 7pm. Hours like that usually signal a pitmaster who would rather run out than cut corners.

Open until 11 every single night, which makes it a rare thing indeed: barbecue you can still get after the show lets out on the South Side.

The Valley's Portuguese community knows charcoal-grilled chicken is its own food group. Order a whole frango de churrasco to go and Sunday dinner is solved.
