This is our first visit here to eat, yet I have picked up from this location for Skip the Dishes on 2 or 3 occasions.
We ended up here since we couldn't decide where to go. We were considering sushi or fish n chips at first. We called Daisuki Sushi to inquire pricing, and we decided against it after reading some Yelp reviews, along with pricing would have hit $60+ CAD for 2 ppl and that's with the mandatory included 10% gratuity. After deciding against sushi I said let's go for fish n chips, so I plotted our way to Malt and Salt fish and chips (285 Lawson Rd, Scarborough, ON M1C 2J6) ...while already on the way there...my wife looked at me with a grin and said "let's go for ribs". I agreed and I re-Waze'd our way to Pig Out BBQ.
We opted to share a dish, since we don't like to overeat at night. So we decided on the Chicken Dinner Platter ($39.99 + HST) which includes : 1/2 a chicken + full rack ribs (9 ribs) + caesar salad and a decent portion of fresh cut in-house fries. We chose the smoky sauce for the ribs, not sure what sauce the 1/2 chicken came slathered in.
For drinks, my wife chose her standard can of Canada Dry ginger ale. I had packed along our 32oz **Pure Outdoor bottle, which we purchased while on sale promo (from Monoprice.com) of Ice River water from home which was still cool.
Food : 4/5
The fresh cooked cut in-house fries were to our liking. Just enough crispness and lightly salted. The caesar salad was good and tasty, creamy dressing with fresh bacon bits (likely made in house as well), tho I forgot to inquire if the croutons were also made in house or not. Tho the a-la-carte fries large size seems over-priced at $6.95 + HST might order 1x just to confirm portion size
As for the ribs, this gets kinda weird (least for us), out of the 9 ribs we had on the platter, the 1st 2 ribs my wife consumed and the 2 ribs I first consumed were juicy and fall off the bone. The smoky sauce was really good and complimented the ribs well. However the 3rd and 4th ribs for my wife and the 3rd through 5th ribs I ate..were not so fall off the bone anymore and not so juicy..they were dry. Cause between our ribs we consumed the 1/2 chicken, my wife took a 1/4 and I had the other 1/4 with the breast meat. As stated above, this was our first time eating at Pig Out BBQ, to be honest this is our first visit to a ribs/chicken BBQ resto. So we were not sure what to expect. My wife enjoyed her share of the chicken, as for my share..well I usually find chicken breast meat that has been BBQ's usually on the drier side. So without the smoky BBQ sauce to dip the chicken breast in, it would have been difficult to eat. Along with the previously mentioned 3rd-5th ribs I had..I had to use the smoky bbq sauce to dip..or else it would have been hard to eat. When we do ribs/chicken at home we usually bake with Maggi So Juicy, so the end result are never dried out. I'm curious to know if Pig Out BBQ sells their smoky sauce in bottles or not, would be nice to have their smoky bbq sauce for when we do ribs at home.
Other thoughts : nice to have the complimentary pickles and coleslaw. Even tho I avoid coleslaw due to cabbage (gout trigger for me), I tasted a small amount and I liked the flavour.
Repeat visits ?
Yes, we intend to return to try some of their sandwich offerings, and possibly their pulled pork poutine. Also to see portion size on their large a-la-carte home-made fries.
