I’ve had this place bookmarked for a long time and finally got the chance to try it yesterday and oh boy it did not disappoint. The service was great and fast considering food was done to order. Both brisket poutine and small piggy were top notch, mouth watering, bbq dreams come true. And huge portion of the poutine too. We had lunch and dinner from the leftovers. And yes it is a takeout place but the weather is getting better and so we parked ourselves at the picnic table out back and could only imagine how this place is popping off in the summer. We will have to come back.

Very good food for first time visiting. Was invited to sit around the back in the shade with 20 minutes quoted, was ready in 15. Food nicely spiced and tender, slaw was a bit soft and bland for our taste, we added our own salt & pepper after. Maybe a Savoy type cabbage instead of the crunchy white we were expecting. Sizes were big, fries done right and plenty to last two days. Prices a bit on the high side but the quality of meat and process smoking/curing is fully justified. You should go try them.

Decided to check this spot out with my mum and was not disappointed! It’s owned by a lovely couple who were so friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. They had a few picnic tables setup out back so we stayed to enjoy the food fresh and hot. We ordered the big mama meal which was on special today (Friday). Huge portions for $45,$48 bucks? Can’t go wrong. I also added a 1/2lb of brisket and it was so juicy and the fat was rendered perfectly. They didn’t charge us for our pops and even gave us two more for later since it was ~cheat day~. This is a hidden gem! And if you’re a fry person, these beer battered style were so crispy and soft inside. Lovee Worth the trip downtown

Visit recommended No dine in. Order in or take out only. Ben is the owner and we got talking even as I was ordering. As a foodie, I had to ask a lot of questions and he was kind enough to explain. Are you coming from church he asked and I said yes. My son just randomly selected your place to have brunch and here we are. "I love burgers he said with a big smile" I don't mind paying for an expensive burger but that burger better make me full he said . That's why I started this joint. When we talked about his brisket, he was like our sauce is always by the side. If anyone puts gravy or sauce on your brisket, they are masking something or it has no taste. . He asked for a Google review and I told him to be careful what he asked for. He didnt know this foodie was gonna review him anyways. The mac and cheese was a bit dry and not cheesy. My kids gave it a score of 6 without the bacon or the sausage and a score of 7 if you combine both. The brisket was amazing, it was moist and will pull apart easily as expected and had a good smoky taste. The single Wagyu burger I got was also on point. I can't fault it in anyway. The meat was well cooked, just seasoned with salt and the rest of the flavours from the sauces kicked in. Fries were on point. No surprises there The best part and the most surprising was the long sauage. I could eat it all without feeling guilty. The salt was mild, it was smoky and taste just great. Was it made in house Haha before I forget, He also makes his BBQ sauce in house. We loved the taste but only comea with certain orders. We got it for the brisket. You gotta pay if you want more to take home. Anyways, I recommend a visit to his place. Order your take out.

We got the brisket sandwich and brisket with mac and cheese! Both were delicious. The meat was exceptionally tender and flavourful! Portions were hefty, too! Dine-in is available in the summer with the backyard patio. Will 100% go back and try the rest of the menu. Lastly, the gentleman at the front was very kind and down-to-earth! Everything about this place is generous, and service was great despite a busy morning.

We randomly ordered from here online by reading review’s and took the food home. We didn’t eat it till the next day which was still just as delicious. Only ordered 4 meats and no sides since we lived far away and don’t need sides this time. Ribs fell off the bones, pulled pork soft and juicy, chicken wings were tender and briskets melted in our mouths. Sauce had excellent flavour as well. We will definitely return to try more

Ben and Manji are are a husband and wife team that have little restaurant just on Parkdale. They specialize in barbecue. I have never been there and dropped in when I was picking up Auto Parts next door. The guy at the auto parts store recommended them and I was hungry so I figured I'd give them a try. Everything they have is smoked and I had the wings and they were totally freaking awesome. These guys are passionate about cooking and barbecue and are serving great food for a really reasonable price. You need to go check this place out. Highly recommended and I will definitely be back. Super nice people and they even have a really nice patio at the back that you can sit at and eat your food.

Literally delicious! Stopped on our way back to Michigan and the reviews dont lie. We got the pork and fork, tender meat, crispy fries, crisp garlic toast and the best baked beans. I loved it all! One order is enough for 2 people.
