Uncle Greg’s Smokin’ BBQ

Very good. Back again today and had the Uncle Greg’s Special sandwich. Have had several of the menu items and all are good. Recommended!

It’s my second time visiting the food truck. My family all love the meals. Strongly recommended and supporting local business.

All I can say is if you like Brisket, he has hit the mark. the sides are tasty potato salad & slaw has flavor that leads to a happy mouth. I try to hit his place twice a week.

Nothing great. I ordered the rib platter with potato salad & Baked beans. Too much sauce the meat itself was okay. potato salad was fine, the beans were good.

In appreciation of a sole operator business, I wanted to like this place. Unfortunately the food was just OK.
This is a BBQ trailer located in a business park area, but it appears some of the food prep is done in an adjacent building. Food is apparently cooked on Fast Eddy and Meadow Creek cookers (legit BBQ cookers) although none were going when I was there. Dining is al fresco with one picnic table.
I ordered the brisket sandwich combo, which comes with two sides. While the brisket was coarsely chopped or pulled and had some nice bark, any smoke was covered by a heavy dose of a very tomato-​driven BBQ sauce that made it sloppy to eat. If I were to order the sandwich again, I would request a very light touch on the sauce, as I am not a big fan of sauced brisket and thought the sauce needed a more nuanced tomato treatment. The roll was a quality Liscio’s Bakery variety. I ordered baked beans and potato salad as sides. The sides appeared to be homemade. The potato salad was good but not otherwise noteworthy. The beans were watery and could have used more zip, but had decent chew. Portions were adequate. Lemonade appeared to be homemade as well.
The service was friendly. I hope the business does well. Maybe I should try something else next time, although I usually go for brisket on a first visit because it is the hardest BBQ meat to cook.

Been craving ribs since the nice weather broke, I decided to try this for a early dinner with my husband. I actually had to drag said husband, because he was not impressed with the idea of a BBQ food truck. As soon as we pulled up to the parking lot, I know he smelled that he was wrong! Unassuming and tucked in a parking lot is this gem! The truck is very clean well thought out in design both outside and in. Cute! I got the rib combination platter– potato salad and baked beans sides. Ribs were great in quality and the BBQ sauce is amazing– Tangy with the right amount of spice. Potato salad was also great! The beans were okay, a little different then how I like mine but definitely not bad! We got a extra side of some Mac and cheese to split which paired well with the meal. Husband got pulled pork combination with cole slaw and potato salad. He said the pulled pork was the best he had in years! Also enjoyed his two sides but raved about the pork! Great find! The owner was friendly and personable. We will be back! I also want to note that we had all this food plus two drinks, we stuffed ourselves for less then $ 25. Quality is fabulous and definitely not overpriced in my opinion.

My boyfriend and I found this place a week ago and we’ve already been there 3x’s so far! I love the pulled pork sandwich here while the chicken is my healthier option. His selection of sides are excellent since he can focus so much attention to the flavor since he only has BBQ compatible sides. I’m not a brisket person but my boyfriend said all three meats were tender, juicy and full of flavor but his favorite is the pulled pork. The meats just have that soft texture where if it was on a nice bone it would fall right off if you take even a small bite off of it. Check his place out. You will not regret a moment of it. Not a lot of tables but its good food and good eats!

I’ve driven by this trailer several times and finally had a chance to stop in. The Brisket Sandwich is awesome! I will stop in again.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a cheap and yummy lunch today, and we happened to come across Uncle Greg’s on Unilocal.At first, we were thrown off that it was a food truck (we thought it was mobile) because it might not be running or we might not know where it was, but then we quickly realized he’d parked in the same parking lot all the time. Very convenient.
We each got a sandwich platter/​lunch special to go (though he does have one picnic table next to the truck). He got the beef brisket with a side of baked beans and mac n cheese. I got the pulled pork with a side of slaw and potato salad. All the food was very good! And with a drink included at about $ 8−9/person, it was a good deal as far as we were concerned! We’ll definitely be back!
Pros: good food, affordable options, convenient location, takes credit cards
Cons: none!

I don’t even like BBQ normally but I’ve been craving pulled pork so we went here. Holy crap– this place is Lansdale’s hidden gem! I got the sampler with ribs, pulled pork, brisket, coleslaw, and baked beans. Everything was absolutely phenomenal! I’m not a BBQ expert by any means but we were both happily surprised at how good this was. Especially since it’s in such an unassuming location. Will definitely be returning and would definitely recommend. Also, Greg is so friendly and seems like he really loves what he does. Keep up the great work!

I ate at Uncle Greg’s looking for a substitute to Smoke Daddy’s. I shouldn’t have. Gregs ribs are better than average but his selection of sides leaves something to be desired. None of this even comes close to Smoke Daddy’s and that is the Lansdale BBQ that I rate all other BBQ against. But since Daddy has relocated to Georgia, I will suffer for all time. I f you need a good rack of ribs, Greg makes the best in the area… right now.

Ok, I admit, I’m more compelled to write positive reviews than negative ones for selfish reasons, because when I like a place, I want people to go there; just to be sure it doesn’t close down. But in the case of Uncle Greg’s I gotta let my disappointment be known. We got BBQ a week ago, and my stomach still turns at the through of BBQ. We’re big fans of Sweet Lucy’s in NE Philly, so we’re always searching for comparable food locally. My husband picked it up and said he didn’t have high hopes when he brought it home. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have ribs (what BBQ place doesn’t have ribs on a Friday night?!) but settled in with my brisket and pulled pork anyway. We each had the same platter, brisket, pork, potato salad and beans (mine was supposed to be cole slaw, but what are you gonna do… drive back? No.) We were pleasantly surprised with the flavor. Meat was tender, sauce was good.
Then…my husband started getting the rumbling in his stomach. I felt so full after only a few bites that I thought I had reverted to 8 months pregnant in one evening. Our bathroom was occupied for the better part of the night, and my entire dinner came up before I went to bed. We have 2 kids in the house too who did not eat it and were fine, so I know it wasn’t just a bug with unfortunate timing. Maybe it was an off night, but Uncle Greg’s has been stricken off our rotation as quickly as it was put on.

BBQ is decent, sides are basic. Overpriced in my opinion. Pretty sure my beans were Campbell’s and potato salad was from a tub. Go for the meat though right?

They have awesome food. Little more expensive than the typical «wawa» lunch, buts it’s a REAL meal. I’m here at least twice a month!

Ordered a half slab of St. Louis ribs, pulled pork sandwich, Cuban sand, and a brisket sand. Ribs were cooked well, just way too much sauce on them. Pulled pork was really good. Not over smoked and tender. Brisket was good as well, very moist and tender. Cuban sandwich was the best thing we ordered. Homemade and spicy with a great garlic aioli. Owner was super nice and was eager to please us. You can tell all the food is homemade and you can see the passion the owner has for his food. We will be back. Love to support local places.

Uncle Greg makes a mean BBQ! I ordered a full rack of St. Louis ribs with some cole slaw; the slaw was tasty and the ribs were «fall-​off-​the-​bone» delicious! I will say it’s some of the best tasting ribs I’ve ever had. A bit pricey, but I do plan to return to this adorable little food trailer in the near future. Definitely some of the best food in Lansdale. :)

Really good! Not the best I’ve ever had but for a food truck it’s amazing. Greg is amazingly friendly also and I love chatting with him. All home made and all delicious :)

I stopped by yesterday not expecting much. I purchase the Greg sampler and was VERY pleased. I combined the two sauces for a tangy and spicey mix. The ribs were good, the pulled pork had a slight char on it but wasn’t impressed with the beef brisket but surprised that I enjoyed the coleslaw and baked beans! There has no been one BBQ place o visited where the sides were just as good as the meat. This place has moved in 1^st place making Bridgeport Rib House my 2^nd choice!

GOOD ‘QUE IN LANSDALE (3 ½ stars)
[For your amusement, «The BBQ Song» (I have no idea what they are singing, but I want an invitation):

Now that Smoke Daddy’s has moved to Georgia, the unofficial parking lot vs parking lot competition in downtown Lansdale is over and Uncle Greg’s Smokin BBQ is the undisputed «best ‘que in the Lansdale area».
Apparently UG used to own a restaurant, but his dream was to cook BBQ. What he has is a beautiful, squeaky clean trailer kitchen with a cool piggy-​pit boss/​Weber grill «Pig Out» logo emblazoned on the side (photo). I haven’t seen a nicer trailer – it must have cost a pretty penny and he is also using it to do on-​location catering for events on the side.
UG’s unfortunately hidden location a few blocks off Main St in Lansdale is due to the limited choices for fixed kitchens that are interested in having an unrelated BBQ joint in their parking lot (apparently having a fixed kitchen is required for a license). So Greg occasionally disappears into the building behind his trailer.
There is a Fast Eddy pellet smoker on the back of the trailer and he uses a mix of hickory and peach. A pellet smoker doesn’t result in a super-​strong smoke on the meats, but some may prefer that (and they are certainly much easier to run).
My impressions (some of these may be specials):
Ribs: Not sure if they are barbequed wet or dry, but they are served slathered in a liberal quantity of UG’s homemade sauce. If you’ve ever had Wegmans Memphis BBQ sauce, it is somewhat similar in style, very tomatoey, vinegary and with a good amount of spices. The few times I’ve had the ribs, once they were falling off the bone, the others were more toothsome. Pretty lean, which I personally like.
Pulled turkey sandwich: A large stack of thickly cut (I wouldn’t really call it pulled) turkey with a good level of smoke on a nice round bun. The menu says it has cranberry sauce, but I didn’t notice any. It did have some of the BBQ sauce, but next time I would request extra.
Beef brisket sandwich: Good crust and sliced medium-​thin on a soft half hoagie roll. Nice and lean, moist and tender, this is really good brisket. But request extra sauce. I’d prefer a firmer roll.
Pulled chicken sandwich: Large heap of thickly pulled meat, lightly sauced on a soft bun.
Cole slaw: Creamy, it’s some of the best I’ve had!
Potato salad: Good, but it’s a bit wet, has way too much celery, and the potatoes are diced to small too my way of thinking. Mild flavor.
Baked beans: Excellent, thick and spicy with nice chunks of pork butt.
Chili: The weakest dish, somewhat thin with finely ground beef, no beans, very mild spice, a bit oily.
Lemonade: Good, homemade and not too sweet. Might prefer a stronger, tarter, lemon flavor. Large size is a good deal for only $ 1.
Specials: He also has weekly specials such as Italian hoagies.
Overall, Uncle Greg’s is good BBQ, worth trying if you are in the area. I greatly prefer UG’s to Phamous Phil’s in Collegeville (2 stars). Greg is very friendly (also his parent’s who are sometimes there), always willing to gossip or talk shop. He even has the Food Network on a plasma screen in his trailer!
Menu:
Catering available (his professional trailer would look really good at your comapny picnic!). Open Wed-​Sun, lunch-​dinner, and parking is easy in a big lot, but there is no seating unless you use your car. Call ahead orders: 267−718−8247, but service is always really quick.
Sláinte!

As a native Texan, I’ve found that it’s extremely difficult to find great bbq (especially brisket) in Pennsylvania. But Uncle Greg did not disappoint. I had a sandwich with half pulled pork and half brisket, and both meats were excellent.
The best part is that the meat is not already mixed in with the sauce, which is how you often find it in this part of the country. If you order the sandwich, it will come with a little sauce on top of the meat, but just the right amount.
I will be back.
