| - Adamson's barbecue brings all the Torontonians to the shop, and they're like, "it's better than Montréal's."
This lunch joint is popular enough to draw big crowds all the way to its remote location just for the acclaimed Texas-style BBQ meat. I came to check it out to see what all the fuss was about.
The ordering process is fairly straightforward: wait in line, then select what meats you want (purchased by the pound), then add any sides you'd like, then pay and enjoy. There's a wide open area with tables where you can savor your meal, or you can get it to-go. Unfortunately I found the staff a bit condescending, but that could've been just an isolated incident.
Food-wise, I enjoyed the pulled pork and the beef brisket quite a lot. The sides I tried (baked beans and corn bread) were good, too. I also got the pie (which rotates seasonally), which was just mediocre. If you come here, I'd recommend prioritizing the meat over any accompaniments.
Overall it was a nice meal, though I don't know if I'll drive all the way just to eat here regularly. Check it out if you're nearby and see for yourself.
