As someone that has spent a lot of time in Texas, I have a pretty good palate for BBQ. Unfortunately it is very hard to get authentic BBQ in the GTA, but Blue Sage does it and does it well. I tried them yesterday for the first time and I will absolutely be back.
I split the grand champion platter and some sides with the gf:
Beef rib: Delicious, fork-tender, and about a pound of meat on the one bone. It wasn't slathered in BBQ sauce like most places, and the meat held its own.
Brisket: Awesome. I told the owner that I wasn't feeling brisket since I just had some a few days earlier. He didn't let it go and once I told him that the brisket I tried was at Highway 61, he INSISTED that I try his brisket to compare. There was no comparison - this was definitely some of the best brisket I've had in the GTA.
Chicken: Good flavour, but a little on the dry side. It had the white alabama bbq sauce on it, but that too had dried up by the time we got it home so I wasn't able to get an idea of how it tasted. I think I'll stick with the red meat next time.
BBQ Sauce: Awesome and authentic
Baked beans, slaw, and potato salad were all freshly made in house and tasted excellent.
