  • Wow, this place has gone downhill. I've been going to Phil's for years, but not for the last 2. With quality BBQ restos like Stockyards, Barque and even mediocre blah franchises like St Louis popping up everywhere you'd think Phil's would stay, at the very least, abreast of the general expectation of good bbq. Sadly, this place disappoints. Not terrible, mind you, but nowhere close to it's previous quality. For $26 a platter will get you chicken leg/thigh quarter, 3 slices of brisket cut way too thin, and three small, thin, not extremely tender ribs. You also get 2 sides - I got the once amazing coleslaw (still scratch made but now quite mediocre) and potato salad (bland and boring). Both salads were straight out of the fridge (including the serving dish) - a KFC fast food joint has more love than these salads. The platter portions were small for what you pay and between two of us, we had to get more. So we ordered the pulled pork sandwich & fries - it was better than the platter. Had it not been for the decent sammy this review would be a 1-star. Other disappointments from it's previous glory: - not nearly as smokey and full -flavoured as before - smaller, thinner ribs and not as tender (I think they must have changed suppliers) - I had a big, dry, inedible piece of beef-jerky-like morsel in the brisket - coleslaw used to be kick-ass but now is now is quite forgettable - same slowish, non-personal service (which I think is the serving staff instead of the kitchen - even the serve your own BBQ sauces seemed to suffer the same degradation of quality - you don't leave that joint reeking like you've been in a smoker for 12 hours.. Phils - too bad.. I really want to love this restaurant again but it's slipped too much to be on my list. I *may* go there again if I'm desperate, in the neighbourhood, starving, and not expecting much. Definitely not worth going to as a destination visit.
