Best smoked bbq place ever in this entire area! Hands down the best in service, flavor, quality and price, as well as portions!!! My family and specially my 3 year old daughter loves the ribs and food here! We def will be continue to go alot here i hope it never changes!!
Being from the south I am so, so picky about BBQ and I’ve tried quite a few places before I stumbled onto grill life. My girlfriends and I have tried almost everything on their menu and this is by far the best BBQ we have ever had!! It never fails that we stop in to place an order at least a few times a week. ..The food is usually gone by the time we think to take a picture and leave a review ?It was pouring rain today and one of the guys even offered to bring my dinner to my car after I had paid so I didn’t have to wait in the rain. It’s the kind thoughtful things that keep you returning to a business, and I had to make sure I left a review before my move back down south ?And yes there’s a loaded potato somewhere under all of that smokey BBQ and a bottom bun under that mountain high rib sandwich! You really can’t beat the quality and the kindness you receive here

Absolutely DELICIOUS! This is right across from where I work and I’ve passed it so many times and finally decided to try it out today and was not let down. The brisket is so tender and they load up your sandwich like crazy. Sauce is amazing and I loved the Mac and cheese! Will definitely be back.

Grill Life BBQ is hands down the best BBQ in the Lehigh Valley. Today was the first ever stop even though I passed it everyday for a year and all it's made me realize is I have been wasting my time on other places BBQ. The Brisket was an extremely juicy while still being a nice lean cut, the Mac and Cheese is to die for!, and the Brisket baked beans were the perfect mix between beans and brisket. I'm personally making this a business I stop at once a week so if you're reading this you have no excuses for not trying!!!

We had a birthday party over the weekend and I ordered from Grill Life BBQ.IT WAS DELICIOUS! Every single person at the party asked me where I got the food from.The ordering process was very simple. The catering menu is right on their facebook page and they are transparent with pricing. Picking up the order was a breeze too. The owner was readily available to answer questions about allergens etc.The meat was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I ordered 1/2 trays of pulled pork, pulled chicken, and brisket. The brisket was so tender and had a perfect smoke ring. The Mac and Cheese is what I would call “fancy”. It was seasoned, smoked, and I believe had Gouda cheese in it. It was absolutely delicious and very rich. The coleslaw was classic and fabulous. The baked beans were actually my favorite bite. They were sweet and smokey and super yummy. The order included 4 different sauces. Tangy, Sweet, Spicy, and Alabama. I personally only tried the sweet, but I heard from others that the Spicy sauce was a favorite. Alabama is a mayo based sauce. I had never heard of it before.Overall rating is a 9.5/10!! ⭐️Knocking off .5 because I’m more of a classic Mac and Cheese gal, and even though the fancy Mac was really good, I would have preferred something more simple.Thanks Grill Life BBQ for helping me throw a great party! I will definitely order from them again!Dietary restrictions: My husband is allergic to gluten and almost everything was gluten free and he had zero issues after eating it! (The Mac and Cheese was NOT gluten free)

This is the best BBQ PERIOD! A lot of places expect their sauce to do all the work. But these guys don’t play lil games like that. Not only is their sauce incredible. Their meat is seasoned to perfection. They’re not scared of seasoning. The ribs are fall off the bone. The chicken and brisket is juicy and delicious. Can’t forget about those awesome beans that I could eat a gallon of it, and the creamy coleslaw that makes a perfect side… I will only eat BBQ from this location for now own. I hope they stay in business for LONG time. Because I’m tired of eating plain meat “pause” btw the prices are on point too

2 times in a month I get there minutes after they open on a Wednesday for the 4 horsemen. If it’s so popular you should maybe make more so you’re not sold out in 5 minutes of opening.
