| - You don't need to visit Texas anymore! I used to say that Toronto does all foods well except for BBQ, Cherry Street BBQ changes my mind :-) If my next visit is as good as this visit I will give them their fifth star.
What sets apart a good restaurant from a great restaurant, aside from food, is the people, and I really liked the people at Cherry Street BBQ. They were super friendly and upbeat, and Lawrence, the owner and pit master came over and asked us if we liked the food. Then Lawrence took me on a tour of the smoker and took me the story of restaurant and his experiences and he made me laugh a bunch of times along the way.
The brisket was butter soft and very tasty. It came "Texas taco" style with a couple of pieces of white bread, sliced onions and sliced jalapeƱos, mmmm. We also ordered the side ribs (they were out of back ribs, see my pictures for the work in progress) and the taste was spot on, the only problem was we didn't order more.
My friend Wendy said her Pulled Pork Sandwich was the best ever, she is a tough critic and if she says its good then its good. Wendy let me have a bite of her sand which and I agree, the Pulled Pork Sandwich is a beautiful thing.
The sides were also very good, we had the broccoli and quinoa salad and smashed potatoes.
There is indoor and outdoor seating and they have live music Fri and Sat nights. Give them a try and let me know how you like it.
