Finally came here today for lunch after wanting to come for awhile. I live in the area and was intrigued when I first saw a new BBQ place, after Paul and Sandy's left the area about a year ago there's been a real lack of BBQ in Etobicoke.
It's a very cute little restaurant, extremely clean and I love the rustic flair. We both ordered pulled pork sandwiches and a side of fries. My boyfriend got the mild sauce on his and I got the special "Golden" sauce, which is a unique mustard based sauce with a bit of a kick. The sandwiches were a fluffy brioche bun piled high with meat...and OMG deliciousness. The pulled pork had been cooked to perfection and was NOT dry. You can always tell when places overcook their meat until it's dried out, and then drown it in sauce in an attempt to re-hydrate it and mask the dryness. The pulled pork was tender and moist and not overpowered by the sauce. The sandwiches came with a small side of coleslaw which was very tasty, very light and fresh tasting and not drowned in mayo or vinegar. The side of fries was generous portion and served in a large metal bowl, and they were perfectly crispy. We also ordered a side of baked beans which were super good. We couldn't finish the baked beans and the fries so we had to take them to go.
Before we left we chatted with the owner for a bit (didn't get his name) and he's a really great guy. You can tell he really cares about his business and cares if the customers enjoy his food. He told us how he gets his meats from the Mennonites (which anyone who knows meat, knows they are the best to get meat from!). Whenever I encounter a great owner it really elevates the business to me and makes me appreciate it more. I can't wait to come back soon and try the ribs. Really suggest this place to anyone craving good, quality BBQ in Etobicoke and wants to support a great local business.
