The the chef’s choice barbecue sampler is a great way to taste just about everything. The ribs , the caesar salad , and the succotash were the standouts.

Eater

Everything here is smoked; even the cocktails . If you’ve got kids, go on a Sunday for Family Night , where mounds of barbecue and a selection of fries and veg are served family style . [Eater 38 Member]

Andrea MacKinnon

Amazing food and stroller parking . If you are travelling with your family, stop here and experience mouthwatering BBQ . Kids menus are available and they’ll be entertained with Play-Doh and crayons.

Tobias Negele

Great place to get your BBQ fix. You should try some ribs , brisket and fries . Always busy.

Tana Babcock

Love the vibe of this place! Excellent BBQ chicken wrap and Cobb salad ???? also the poutine ???? SO GOOD

Jeremiah Biz

They used to have a beef rib here that rocked the house. Everything is good though smoked wings , brisket , literally all the sides. Favorite barbecue in North America.

Stella Zee

My fav BBQ spot in the city . Please try the wings with dry rub !! The best ever. Ask to try the white BBQ sauce on the side.

Mathilde Juliette

Brunch , when drinking before noon is socially acceptable! The bloody caesar with a ring of bacon bits ... It is to die for! Come early, no reservation , first come first served! Worth the wait!!

Random Guy

Good brisket . Good BBQ . Get their hot sauce and make it spicey . I enjoyed the spatziel it was yummy. Good sauce. Street parking and a patio

Suresh Doss

Best thing to do is order the BBQ platter and some sides. The platter is good for two. If you like dry rub wings get the barbecue wings , the Cuban corn is also great. Have the beignets for dessert

Nuff

The duck/chèvre/blueberry pancakes are unreal. Great spot with amazing food and friendly staff .

the BREL team

The best BBQ in the city , bar none. Secret: like it REALLY hot? Ask for the chef 's homemade hot sauce ...they don't advertise it (chef 's orders!) because the meat's already sauced perfectly.

Chammy H.

Ribs excellent! However, they could hold back on the salt for the side dishes (fries and kale sauté)

Mandeep Singh

The platter for two is awesome. And is a challenge for anyone willing to finish it by themselves. Ask for robin, she is most glorious indeed.

Josie

I've been here a few times and every time has been lovely, although I find I've eaten a bit too much to walk home swiftly.

Rachel

Brunch is great! Tried the duck pancakes and the eggs Benedict - both were amazing. Kid friendly as well .

Desirée MacDonald

Um, incredible. Obviously share the sampler and be sure to take home some bbq mustard . I mean, I don't really need to tell you that.

Nina Iordanova

Go for the pulled pork ! Especially delicious on poutine .

Chammy H.

Truly amazing brunch . Pork Belly Breakfast tacos and Meaty Pancakes

Anna James

Ribs with the lemon pepper rub is killer. Also, the wings with the combination rub is yum.

AskMen

Smoked chicken wings , spare ribs , "competition style" chicken thighs (injected with brine), pork ribs -- you get the picture. Definitely worth a look this weekend. Read more

Melissa Winter

Amazing! Everything from the food to the atmosphere to the bevi's served in mason jars love this place! A roncy gem!!

Joe Snyder

Brisket , chicken thighs , pork tacos , and absolutely any of the sides cannot be beat. Top notch all around.

Luis Camarena

The family special really stands out from other specials offered in the city . Chicken wings are superb and the staff exceptional!

Tori Hackett

Loved it! Fun vibe. Great neighbourhood spot.

Doran Aisenstat

Loved all the BBQ but in particular the brisket , pulled pork , ribs and chicken

Alex Argiropoulos

Boylan's Root Beer , Black Cherry , & Creme Soda all available here!

Scott Soenen

Beef rib and baby back ribs were the stand outs here, but everything was delicious.

Achelray

Everything is good. But you might as well eat the best chicken wings on earth while you're here.

Ivan Audes

Had ribs , brisket and pulled pork . Everything was absolutely delicious!

Ron Scott

Come and be prepared to leave waiting more... You will be back..

???? Caspar Yue

Best BBQ joint in the city ! Also, their homemade squash gnocchi is probably one of the best I've ever had!

Roots To Asia

Complementary smoke-infused popcorn is simply irresistible!

Rachel Sachs

The chicken wings are amazing. Worth going out of your way for.

David Kerr

Get a family style dinner where they keep on bringing platters of wonderful meat

Jason

Beef brisket was a bit too greasy. Had the Smoker's choice. I liked the dry rub wings . I think it was the purple slaw that made me sick.

Obadiah Poundage

"Try something from "You Gotta Eat Here!": Barque Benedict, Smoked Duck Pancakes , or Caramelized Apple French Toast

Mitchell Butler

I was impressed by the creative smokehouse-themed brunch options here.

Drew F

Sorry, you guys lost me with lunch . Cold(?) Brisket sandwich & cold(?) Pulled pork ? (Apparently how its supposed to be) Brunch good. Dinner good. Lunch meh. Best BBQ in the city ? Get out more...

Lears Fool

The wings were good. I found the Brisket and ribs OK. But I'm from Texas and have high standards for BBQ .

Lorraine S

Went for brunch . Was good - however everything (there was 5 of us) tasted the same (same seasoning). The brisket sandwich was delish.

Jean-Paul Godmaire

The brisket is incredible, be prepared for a post meal meat coma

Bryan Patterson

Get the wings . You won't be disappointed.

RichelleMabell

Platter for two is good deal for $38. My fave was the beef brisket , juicy, moist and fatty!

Derrick Cho

Sampler very tasty. Gnocchi great. Smoked asparagus nice. Don't forget the asparagus .

Angie R.

The brisket will rock your socks off. Perfect combo of lean, fatty, and delicious.

Tim L

Try the cod sandwich , super delicious! Also, soups are great here.

Mansour Brek

Make sure you order a side of ribs , even if you're there for breakfast .

Chris Stone

Ok. I love the food but I'm seriously tired if being turned away for random special events . You guys should figure out how to account for locals. Super disappointing.
