Best BBQ in King of Prussia

Barbecue: smoky, saucy and always worth the mess.

While King of Prussia doesn’t have a BBQ joint on every corner, there’s plenty of mouthwatering flavor if you know where to look. Here’s your guide to a perfect bar(becue) crawl in KOP — bring your appetite and plenty of napkins!

Start with what you know.
Depending on where you’re coming from, Buffalo Wild Wings is a household name. Their iconic selection of wings available right at the KOP Mall easily make them the go-to for most barbecue cravings. Enjoy a high-energy atmosphere from the in-house sports bar as you sink your teeth into a classic boneless wing or a spicier option. It’s the perfect first stop, especially on game day.

Find something adventurous, right down the road.
Step outside of the mall to the Courtside Square Shopping Center, where a new dining destination called Wonder serves up authentic Texas barbecue in partnership with Scott Moore of Tejas Chocolate + Barbecue. Choose from multiple mouthwatering forms of brisket, born and (b)raised in Houston, and pick up a piece of cornbread or even some pork belly to go. The beauty of it all: your taste of Texas isn’t +1,500 miles away–it’s less than five.

A few streets away, in the middle of KOP Town Center, Choolaah offers a delicious twist on BBQ. Barbecue in South Asian cuisine can include preparing seasoned meats on a grill, or in a clay oven called Tandoor. The dishes carry the smokiness of the classic American barbecue, with a kick of extra flavor from the numerous spices used. Dive into something extremely delicious and possibly palate-changing…if you can handle it.

Last stop: Home(base)
Finally, it’s time for the unofficial headquarters for barbecue, also located in KOP Town Center. Mission BBQ doubles as a local epicenter for American comfort food and an active memorial for veterans across the country. Enjoy a piece of classic, Texas-inspired Brisket with a heavenly side of Maggie’s Mac-N-Cheese and some kind of greens or beans, all while sitting alongside walls of memorabilia that give the restaurant its spirit. Feel at home, in more ways than one.

Regardless of where you start and what route you take, King of Prussia’s BBQ scene proves that even a small selection can deliver big flavors—and a few surprises along the way.
