BBQ Heaven - Best BBQ in Toronto!
I first arrived on Tuesday only to discover they are closed on Tuesday's. My group returned the next day and scored a picnic table on the patio after a 20 minute wait.
The menu is basic BBQ mains, side dishes and some specialty items. Most dishes are good to share so we ordered many different items. A quick rundown:
- Crackrolls: Basic bread but served with butter whipped with the drippings from the smoker. Delicious and the perfect BBQ starter.
- Shrimp and grits: On the special menu, not bad but I wouldn't order it again..
- Smoked Ham: So good, kind of like Prosciutto. Served with fresh baguette. This is best to share as it's a bit salty, not sure I would enjoy the entire dish. Served with a pea spread.
- Pork Ribs: The only real miss for me. You get 3 ribs for $15 but the meat is really fatty. I didn't enjoy these at all (we even wasted two ribs).
- Beef ribs: exactly the opposite of the Pork ribs, filled with delicious meat and smokey flavour. You only get one for $14.99. Meat melts in your mouth.
- HotLinks: Smoked Italian sausage was amazing. Melted in your mouth with a nice spice kick. Served with a tangy BBQ sauce.
- Fried Chicken: No bones and also very good. Chicken thighs and breast were nice and crispy but not oily at all.
- Sides were excellent. Best baked beans ever! Cole slaw was also a stand-out.. Portions are good to share.
- The table next to me ordered the brisket sandwich and it looked amazing. I will try this next time.
They had a few interesting beers on tap which rotates regularly. Cocktails are good but very strong and largely Bourbon based.
Highly recommended but go early to avoid line-ups. They take cash only.
