  • I have been to Marky's twice now. I'm a bit split on whether this is a 3-star review (A-OK is still good) or four stars. You'll see from my other reviews that I eat BBQ across North America, so my sample size for comparison is pretty decent. I was a huge fan of Marky's last venture. To me, the holy grail of BBQ is brisket and they nailed it. I was chomping at the bit to try Marky's. First the good: It's thickly cut and has good fat. I hate lean brisket; it's just not the right way to eat it. The smoke is decent. I found in both my trips that the rub is too salty and if you get more than a bit in a bite it really hits hard. The solution is pretty simple: They should offer chopped brisket. I tried this recently in Atlanta and can say it is the correct way to eat brisket. It distributes the fat and seasoning throughout, making the whole thing so much better. I felt that Marky's old brisket was the best in Toronto and I think that the new brisket could make it. The wings are clear winners. Again, had these on both visits. My 8-year-old girls wolfed them down. They loved them. Smoked wings are really the way to go and Marky's does a good job. The only improvement they could add is a way to crisp up the outside a bit more without losing moisture. The ribs (visit #1 only) were very good. I plan on trying those again in the future. They weren't fall-off-the-bone (as they should not be) but had good pull and good smoke. I recall ordering them dry, but didn't really find them truly "dry". Maybe it's because I did takeout on visit #1. One criticism is the sauces. I have never been to a BBQ joint where you need to spend $1 per dose of sauce. Here, you seem to get one free sauce dose with each meat. That may be enough if you're not a sauce-o-holic, but you're limited to that choice. I like it when there is a variety of squeeze bottles on the table. I understand that the mayo-based sauces can't be like that, so make them special orders. Marky hasn't been open that long so I look forward to a fine tuning of the recipes based on feedback. I still do believe that it's one of the better BBQ spots in the city and well worth a visit.
