About Southern Restaurants in Berks County

Southern cooking made it to Berks County and decided to stay — a few kitchens' worth, from fast-food fried chicken to low-and-slow smoke. The county line between "Southern" and "barbecue" is blurry here, and nobody eating at these places cares.

MISSION BBQ in Wyomissing brings the brisket-and-banners version with one of the category's strongest ratings. Bojangles and Popeyes settle the fried chicken argument at volume — enough reviews between them to prove it. But the sleeper is Jambalaya J's in Reading: a tiny following, a near-perfect rating, and a name that tells you exactly what to order. Grill Then Chill rounds it out with the soul-food crossover. Small category. Zero sad lunches.
