The the chef’s choice barbecue sampler is a great way to taste just about everything. The ribs, the caesar salad, and the succotash were the standouts.

Everything here is smoked; even the cocktails. If you’ve got kids, go on a Sunday for Family Night, where mounds of barbecue and a selection of fries and veg are served family style. [Eater 38 Member]

Amazing food and stroller parking. If you are travelling with your family, stop here and experience mouthwatering BBQ. Kids menus are available and they’ll be entertained with Play-Doh and crayons.

They used to have a beef rib here that rocked the house. Everything is good though smoked wings, brisket, literally all the sides. Favorite barbecue in North America.

Brunch, when drinking before noon is socially acceptable! The bloody caesar with a ring of bacon bits... It is to die for! Come early, no reservation, first come first served! Worth the wait!!
Tobias NegeleJanuary 24, 2017
Great place to get your BBQ fix. You should try some ribs, brisket and fries. Always busy.
Tana BabcockMay 9, 2018
Love the vibe of this place! Excellent BBQ chicken wrap and Cobb salad 🥗 also the poutine 😱 SO GOOD
Stella ZeeAugust 11, 2017
My fav BBQ spot in the city. Please try the wings with dry rub!! The best ever. Ask to try the white BBQ sauce on the side.
Chammy H.October 9, 2014
Ribs excellent! However, they could hold back on the salt for the side dishes (fries and kale sauté)
NuffDecember 8, 2015
The duck/chèvre/blueberry pancakes are unreal. Great spot with amazing food and friendly staff.

The best BBQ in the city, bar none. Secret: like it REALLY hot? Ask for the chef's homemade hot sauce...they don't advertise it (chef's orders!) because the meat's already sauced perfectly.

Good brisket. Good BBQ. Get their hot sauce and make it spicey. I enjoyed the spatziel it was yummy. Good sauce. Street parking and a patio
Suresh DossApril 21, 2011
Best thing to do is order the BBQ platter and some sides. The platter is good for two. If you like dry rub wings get the barbecue wings, the Cuban corn is also great. Have the beignets for dessert
Mandeep SinghDecember 22, 2014
The platter for two is awesome. And is a challenge for anyone willing to finish it by themselves. Ask for robin, she is most glorious indeed.
Desirée MacDonaldJanuary 21, 2015
Um, incredible. Obviously share the sampler and be sure to take home some bbq mustard. I mean, I don't really need to tell you that.

Brunch is great! Tried the duck pancakes and the eggs Benedict - both were amazing. Kid friendly as well.
Luis CamarenaAugust 19, 2014
The family special really stands out from other specials offered in the city. Chicken wings are superb and the staff exceptional!
Anna JamesSeptember 27, 2018
Ribs with the lemon pepper rub is killer. Also, the wings with the combination rub is yum.
JosieDecember 13, 2012
I've been here a few times and every time has been lovely, although I find I've eaten a bit too much to walk home swiftly.
Nina IordanovaAugust 28, 2017
Go for the pulled pork! Especially delicious on poutine.
AskMenApril 22, 2011
Smoked chicken wings, spare ribs, "competition style" chicken thighs (injected with brine), pork ribs -- you get the picture. Definitely worth a look this weekend. Read more

Sorry, you guys lost me with lunch. Cold(?) Brisket sandwich & cold(?) Pulled pork? (Apparently how its supposed to be) Brunch good. Dinner good. Lunch meh. Best BBQ in the city? Get out more...
Joe SnyderMay 5, 2013
Brisket, chicken thighs, pork tacos, and absolutely any of the sides cannot be beat. Top notch all around.
Chammy H.March 30, 2014
Truly amazing brunch. Pork Belly Breakfast tacos and Meaty Pancakes
Melissa WinterJuly 22, 2012
Amazing! Everything from the food to the atmosphere to the bevi's served in mason jars love this place! A roncy gem!!
Ron ScottApril 20, 2015
Come and be prepared to leave waiting more... You will be back..

Loved all the BBQ but in particular the brisket, pulled pork, ribs and chicken
Tori HackettAugust 16, 2014
Loved it! Fun vibe. Great neighbourhood spot.

Everything is good. But you might as well eat the best chicken wings on earth while you're here.
Scott SoenenDecember 2, 2015
Beef rib and baby back ribs were the stand outs here, but everything was delicious.
JasonApril 23, 2017
Beef brisket was a bit too greasy. Had the Smoker's choice. I liked the dry rub wings. I think it was the purple slaw that made me sick.
Rachel SachsDecember 31, 2015
The chicken wings are amazing. Worth going out of your way for.
Roots To AsiaFebruary 26, 2016
Complementary smoke-infused popcorn is simply irresistible!
Ivan AudesAugust 3, 2017

Boylan's Root Beer, Black Cherry, & Creme Soda all available here!
Lears FoolMay 12, 2016
The wings were good. I found the Brisket and ribs OK. But I'm from Texas and have high standards for BBQ.
Mansour BrekMarch 9, 2014
Make sure you order a side of ribs, even if you're there for breakfast.
👑 Caspar YueDecember 11, 2011
Best BBQ joint in the city! Also, their homemade squash gnocchi is probably one of the best I've ever had!
David KerrAugust 13, 2014
Get a family style dinner where they keep on bringing platters of wonderful meat

The brisket is incredible, be prepared for a post meal meat coma
Lorraine SJune 21, 2011
Went for brunch. Was good - however everything (there was 5 of us) tasted the same (same seasoning). The brisket sandwich was delish.
Mitchell ButlerOctober 27, 2016
I was impressed by the creative smokehouse-themed brunch options here.
RichelleMabellAugust 7, 2011
Platter for two is good deal for $38. My fave was the beef brisket, juicy, moist and fatty!

Try the cod sandwich, super delicious! Also, soups are great here.

Try the Dry Rub Chicken Wings - My fave! So yummy! Patio is open!
Derrick ChoSeptember 22, 2011
Sampler very tasty. Gnocchi great. Smoked asparagus nice. Don't forget the asparagus.
Bryan PattersonOctober 20, 2017
Get the wings. You won't be disappointed.
Angie R.December 10, 2011
The brisket will rock your socks off. Perfect combo of lean, fatty, and delicious.

Ok. I love the food but I'm seriously tired if being turned away for random special events. You guys should figure out how to account for locals. Super disappointing.
