| - Located in the same plaza as McD, right off the highway, with ample parking and space inside for large groups. A nice view of the taller structures of Canada's Wonderland. Clean, bright & welcoming.
Walking in I noticed the show "You Gotta Eat Here!" was running, featuring BBQ foods to tease your appetite. I was thinking, man, if you're gonna show this to your customers, you better have a menu and a good chef to back it up!
I came here during the Order The Yelp event so I ordered the Yelp Wrap. It was packed with beef brisket, wrapped and pressed tightly. The brisket was juicy and I was happy with the portion. Lots of cheesy goodness in there too. The fries were nicely made. The plate was simply presented, no garnish, but also no complaints :)
They have 5 barbeque sauces provided at each table, with a comment card from the chef on what to pair them with. Studying this card makes for a good convo starter and sure takes away the pain of waiting. Just sampling these 5 sauces alone is fun & makes the visit worthwhile, I think. If you like 'em, you can purchase these sauces to bring home.
As I sat here longer, I realized -PSYCH!- The episode that was repeating on-screen was actually featuring the owner, Cam, who later on approached me to say hi :) I told him in awe "wow you got to meet John Catucci" and "that is something to be proud of!" He smiled and told me he was on Season 4 of the show about two years ago. You can see his showcase of trophies at the back. Cam demonstrated to me from our brief encounter that he's got a passion for ensuring his customers have an enjoyable time at his establishment. He's constantly learning from his customers.
Their slogan is "Taking BBQ to a whole new level", and that is something you can't fluke. I'll give them that, they know what they're doing. This time, I only got to sample a simple wrap. If I'm ever in the area again I'll be sure to revisit so I can try the rest of their menu. I'm confident it's one of those solid menus you can't really go wrong with!!
