I came here as a party of a 6. We came here because of deal on buytopia ($40 for $80).
It was a quaint location with a decent selection of bourbon which I had on the rocks. The rest of the party had quite a few rounds of $5 bourbon sours which were on special.
We ordered quite a few items on the menu to get a good idea of what Backwood Smokehouse is all about. I found the best items on the menu were the confit wings, corn bread and the hot mess. Unfortunately, this is a smokehouse and the beef ribs and brisket were a disappointment. Both items were very dry and the ribs were 95% bones. We also ordered the fish tacos and the Mac and cheese which were underwhelming as well.
I really wanted to like this place because I basically like any restaurant that smokes their own meat. Unfortunately, there are so many other smokehouses in Toronto that do a better job with their smoke meats that I just can't recommend this place. However, if you are in the area and are looking for a nice place to have drinks with your friends (and you like bourbon!), you may want to check out this place.
