Hmmm I'm not too sure what the hype is all about. While the experience is definitely a pleasant and unique one for Toronto, I found the food only OK and a bit overpriced. We had the brisket, 1lb ribs and side of BBQ beans. The portion sizes were much smaller than I expected for the amount we paid. We also found the meat to be bland. The beans though, were absolutely amazing - there was something about the bbq sauce that they used - it was great!
As per the other reviews, the place is pretty "self-serve." We arrived at 6:30pm on a Friday and were greeted with a long line and some anxiety - for fear that we would not be able to find a table to eat. We did manage to nab the last few seats - others after us had to settle for high tables.
The venue itself was very cute and a great summer spot to enjoy a few drinks with friends on a patio. Great live entertainment and lovely atmosphere overall!
