Beautiful spot to sit, enjoy some great BBQ and delicious cocktails. Staff is phenomenal, such great people, and from sounds of it, owner knows how to treat his staff, customers, and believe it or not, during these trying times, they’ve dropped prices! Can’t wait to go back and chill. High tops have the most comfortable seats I’ve sat on. Not your average run of the mill stools you see in most. Loved everything about this place. Can’t wait to see the reno as it’s already such a pretty bar/resto to spot up at.

This place was just okay. The broccoli salad was actually very good, with the side of pulled chicken. The tofu “burnt ends” should be 86’d from the menu, or renamed at lest. I am not vegetarian, but was intrigued by the claim of them being burnt ends. However, its just diced tofu in some spices. I understand tofu is not meat, but I imagined they’d be doused in BBQ sauce at least with some kind of charring or crispiness, given the name.
This place fell flat with the atmosphere. Firstly, it was very cold inside. And also, we sat at at table near where people discard their trays, and the garbage there smelt like it had been sitting there for a while. Not something you want to be smelling while eating. I understand they just reopened a few days prior, so perhaps it had been sitting there since then.
Can’t really comment on the service since you kind of take care of everything yourself. You go up and order, they bring your food, and you clean up after yourself. I did appreciate that they did not have a tip option on the debit machine, since there are no actual servers. The staff were friendly and helpful though.

This was an exceptional experience! The Google reviews are spot on. The service was great, and the food and portions were awesome. Special shoutout to our server, ZZ, who took care of our table. ZZ was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, very friendly, extremely helpful, and patient. This barbecue spot is definitely the one I would go back to in a heartbeat. Five out of five! Nothing but praises for the staff and the food. This place is now something that’s going to bring me over to this area.

Stopped at Barque on our culinary adventure food tour and got hit with brisket tacos so good I briefly considered quitting my day job to become a professional taco groupie. Smoky, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth perfection wrapped in a tortilla — basically edible happiness. Cozy vibe, friendly staff, and clearly a team that treats their smoker like a holy altar. If you’re in Roncesvalles, come hungry… and maybe wear stretchy pants.

We had the smoked chicken wings, crispy chicken tenders, and the charred broccoli salad – everything was delicious! The flavors were spot on, and the portions were generous. Service was also excellent – friendly and attentive throughout. Definitely a great spot to enjoy good BBQ in Toronto

I really liked the neighborhood where the restaurant is located. The atmosphere, staff, and food quality were all excellent. I especially appreciate their policy regarding their staff—it’s commendable.
As for the food, the Tender Chicken was one of the best chicken dishes I’ve ever had. It was perfectly juicy with a crispy breadcrumb crust, fried to perfection. Although it was labeled as “Nashville Hot,” I didn’t find it particularly spicy—but that didn’t take away from how delicious it was. We also tried the Brussels sprouts and fries as sides and enjoyed them. The wings were fantastic as well.
However, as a meat lover, I found the brisket dish underwhelming. It tasted more like it had been slow-cooked in water rather than smoked, which didn’t meet my expectations based on the restaurant’s name.
On the bright side, the sour bourbon I ordered was amazing! Overall, I’ll definitely be returning. A big thank you to the management for valuing both their staff and customers!

Dined here for dinner last night with my girlfriend and another couple. This place came highly regarded and it was worth it.
We each got a drink and the local craft beer was very good. It’s a nice touch that they leave a cinnamon popcorn on the table for you to snack on before your appetizers and your entrées arrive.
We got the we got the meat meat platter that serves 4 to 6 people comes with brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, ribs, some sweet pickles, dill, pork, rinds, and tortillas with a nice black bean and cord medley in the middle. The couple we were with ordered an Affogato for dessert which they said was delightful.
I do wish the meat on the platter came to the table hotter The meat was about lukewarm, and the cornbread was a little dry. All in all still a positive experience. Very nice ambience inside indoor and outdoor seating available.
Great service, great experience, I would recommend.

We drove an hour to get here on August 26,2025. We went for dinner.
If you have to drive more than 30 minutes.
I wouldn’t do it. The food is good. But not excellent. Price is around $45 to $50 for a dish. But portion are small. I have been in real BBQ places in the USA and when I ordered the share me for three persons for $ 172 ( they charge me a bit extra for half a rack of ribs instead of a quarter of a rack and also they charge another $10 for asking for double brisket. It was supposed to be three meats for $162 , however I requested a half rack of ribs instead of a quarter ( increases the price a bit ) and then I also wanted two of the same kind of meats(brisket ) so the waitress said that would be an extra $10. Total of $172.
When she brought the plate, my partner and I looked at each other and thought we were missing an order of meat.
The half rack of ribs in my opinion looked like a quarter of other bbq places I had visited in the past.
Ribs were good, brisket was not my favourite but ok.
I give it a solid 3 for value for your money.
Service and atmosphere were great. Would I go back is a solid No.

Great smokehouse! The interiour design is fantastic. Small patio but it’s nice that it is tucked away from the street.
The smoked bbq wings were amazing ! If you couln’t decide what to get, the sampler menu is a great choice, it gives you a bit of everything. We loved the mac and cheese by the way (chefs kiss)
Shoutout to Julia who was our server last night.

You’ve had a really good barbeque here we had beef, brisket and beef brisket burger, and pork burger I would recommend coming here again and try the platter for three people. Definitely a great place to visit. We had puppies so we sat outside at the patio. There’s two different patio areas one for drinks and one for sit down and eat.
