| - This place far exceeded our expectations. We eat out alot and have been to many of Toronto's best BBQ/smokehouses, and this one was hands down THE BEST. You need a reservation because it is a small place, tucked away behind Rose and Son's, their flagship restaurant. Most seating is at long communal picnic tables, but there is good separation with pillars. We were seated right by the door, because I made the resi last minute, and the heaters kept us plenty warm, so there is not a bad seat in the house. See my photos, which show a menu as well. So....wines are well-selected, with a limited offering but solid choices. Beers are varied and all good. There are a few cocktails, and I had the bourbon and root beer. LOVED this combo. We ate through most items on the menu, and the beautiful thing here is that each offering is unique, and lovely, and incredible. Most smokehouses slather one of two sauces on every meat. Not this one. This one makes every dish unique, and the tastes are completely different. From pesto to spicy, to traditional, to Korean, the dishes here are all superb. LOVED the garlic and smoked cheese bread. OH MY. And the Smores cake? Died and went to heaven. Our server, Ryan, had me in stitches the whole night. This is not a formal place. This is a fun, loud, happening place, where there is zero pretense, so get ready to use your Wet Naps....you are going to need them!
