Mabel's Barbeque

First time having soul food since moving to Chester County 16+ years ago and lemme tell you it didn’t disappoint. You ever love food so much you dance while you eat it? Yeah that’s me and I don’t care who knows. Have a friend in Georgia and finally got to use his phrase. “Bbq so good make you wanna slap yo mamma!” Mabels coming with that down home southern flavor. Don’t hesitate, order and enjoy! Delicious!

1st , the food was awesome. The fried chicken, brisket, ribs and the collard greens were as good or better than home made. The sweet potato pie was some of the best we've had and the lemon 7 up cake also excellent. 2nd the family atmosphere. We were warmly greeted and quickly noticed there were a few generations there. 2 little sweeties were very well behaved interacting with Gramma ( I think) and I think I was privileged to meet Miss Mabel as I waited to grab our to go desert. We drove an hr to get here and we'll return, happily. Do yourself a favor and do the same.

Food: 5/5

Hidden Gem in West Chester.

This is my first time visiting Mabel's with my girlfriend, but not the first time I've had Soul Food. With that being said, it is definitely one of the BEST Soul food places I have ever visited. With that being said the restaurant isn't big, only has 2 or 3 sit down tables. But that will not stop us from going again, was not expecting a 5 star looking restaurant went there for delicious food and that's exactly what we got.

Service was prompt, we ordered 20 minutes ahead for pick up and it was ready by the time we arrived, in and out in less than 2 minutes.

You get 2 sides with your entree, also very reasonably priced (Considering the portion of food you get). Not to mention it is ABSOLUTELY Amazing. Everything is seasoned and flavorful.

What we ordered:
1/2 Ribs
Fried Whiting Fish
Sides 1: Green beans, sweet potato.
Sides 2: Collard greens, potato salad.

Highly recommended.

This is my 1st time here,I'm actually upset that I haven't been here before,since they told me that they have been at this location for 17 years! The ribs fall right off the bone, the sauce is good too. The sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese are delicious. Definitely will be going back!

BBQ......... You are now entering THE SOUTH!!!

( It's right next to the Dunkin Donuts in West Chester, Great Pumpkin, and Capriotti's)

Someone recommend this place a few days ago and I was a bit leary because I spend summers down south and am pretty picky when it comes to BBQ and Southern style food. I wanted to order and help out because before Friday they had been struggling like many small local businesses have been and just reopened Friday. They definitely need community support through this !!

Ordered over phone. Super friendly and you could tell busy. Easy pick up... Pull up, call back to tell them you are there and they bring it out curbside !

The food ...
Anyone who frequents down South knows they pride themselves on their BBQ. And yes up here it's hard to find true Southern bbq and food. Well, Mabel's nailed it ! I don't know Mabel or if she is from the South but her food screams authentic and dedication.
Anyone who really loves BBQ knows that it takes TIME. A lot of places rush good food and good takes TIME to get flavors like this. You will taste it the minute you bite into any of her food. The bbq chicken has flavor all the way through. The baked beans have a smokey kick, maybe peppers ? But the best baked beans I've ever had in my life !! Sweet potatoes that are like my Mom's !!! Corn bread, Cole slaw, hush puppies, brisket, Mac and cheese and more! Some of the things I couldn't try because I can't do gluten but the rest my family raves about !!!!!! My 11 year old LOVES hush puppies and said they were REALLY GOOD!!

If you love barbeque... Help this place out !! They have taken the time to do southern food right and you will definitely be back ! Thanks Kevin Schmied for giving the thumbs up ! You were right !!! Best place BY FAR!!

I believe they are open Friday through Sunday 2-7. Not sure during this if they have changed so be sure to call and check.

And please don't forget to tip!! These staff members are hustling and exhausted... Make sure they know you appreciate them too :)
