We dropped by today for lunch as I’ve been looking forward to trying the BBQ since they opened
We got the brisket which was a little dry with the end pieces but the fattier slices was much better
The pork ribs were a little tough and not that tender and on the sweeter side
The smoke chicken flavor was good but the chicken breast was really dry
The sausage was good but on the sweeter side as well
The pork belly burnt ends were amazing.
All the side were amazing slaw, tato salad and mac and cheese.
The gumbo was really good full of flavor.
Overall it was like 7.5/10

While this texas bbq joint didnt completely corral me, I get why lots of people lineup for and love it.
The Good: Pork ribs were fall off the bone tender and tasty. The brisket had a good smoke. The cornbread had the perfect melted butter on top that soaked its crumbliness well. The key lime pie was tasty tarty and crusty. The mustard sauce they had on the table was amazing.
The Meh: The sausage was a bit tough. The pork belly burnt ends were a bit too fatty. The side beans and corn were ok.
The lines are long, but it serves quicker than how it looks. Most seating is counter, though there are some booths. Prices are what prices are these days. Overall, a good spot if you want good bbq.

Really tasty BBQ overall. The brisket was flavorful and well cooked, and everything we ordered tasted great.
The only downside is the price. I ordered half a pound of brisket, a chili, and a cornbread, and the total came to close to $60. Dessert was another $9. It adds up pretty quickly.
If you don’t mind the higher prices, the food is definitely worth trying.

Came here later around 4pm. Unfortunately some things were sold out so come early!
Fortunately enough they still had beef ribs, brisket, sausage and all their sides still available.
Everything was absolutely delicious. Beef ribs were fall off the bone and seasoned extremely well. The smoke ring on the brisket was absolutely unreal.
The sides were absolutely phenomenal. Opted to get every one to just try and ended up loving them all. The beans and chili were some of the best I’ve had.
Also you can’t miss out on the banana pudding. If you don’t like super sweet desserts you should definitely try this. Didn’t think I would have space after but somehow kept eating it.
Thank you to the team there. Service was very hospitable and friendly. Definitely going to have to come earlier to try everything.

I went about two weeks ago with my sister for lunch. We were not disappointed. The service was excellent, the young lady that helped us at cash quickly identified that it was our first time and she helped us with recommendations and walked us through the weighing system. The owner/chef was awesome as well, I watched as he spoke to each person, including us, asking us what we liked about the food and how everything was, which was great! The burnt ends were my favourite meat, but LISTEN… buy. the. biscuit. I’m not sure if that’s a permanent menu item but it definitely should be! They had jalapeños (I think) and were cheesy, flaky and flavourful! Don’t think twice about getting this banana pudding, it is awesome! Thank you for a great experience, will definitely be back!

Overall food quality is great
As others have said, they make solid sides.
The meats: it is on its way to being pretty good. I found the seasoning to be a bit heavy and the tender/juiciness of the brisket, pulled pork, ribs needing some improvement. Flavor wise I can taste a bit of smokiness but I was hoping for more. To each there own but I like heavier smoky taste. Their BBQ sauce makes up for a lot of the missing points and balances out things nicely.
The staff are super friendly and love their BBQ. They explained how they are continuously tweaking and improving and I am looking forward to return and try it again!

Traveled all the way from Burlington and man, it was absolutely worth the journey. Also definitely worth the price given the quality meats you are getting. This was hands down the best BBQ I have ever had!
We were greeted by such a warm and welcoming staff.
Arrived with a group of friends and we had one of everything, including the beef rib special.
Each protein was tender, juicy, perfectly rendered and had their own distinct flavour profile.
All sides were amazing, too! Man, these guys don’t miss.
Creamy and flavour-packed Mac and cheese, saucy Pinto beans with tex-mex spices, moist honey cornbread, esquites (mexican corn salad, my fav), perfect slaw to cut through the richness of it all (radishes were a nice touch) and a very surprising Texas red chili which ended up being one of my fav sides!
Right down to their two bbq sauces, (one red one golden mustard), complimentary brioche, pickled onions and pickles, everything was on point.
Definitely don’t miss out on dessert either! The banana pudding was absolute perfection, but I’ll be back for those cookies!
I’m originally from Toronto, so seeing this historic building brought back to life is SO nice to see.
11/10 Golden Horseshoe!
Thanks for doing what you do!

Amazing BBQ! Expensive but worth every dollar! 100% recommend! The team was awesome, they were very friendly, welcoming people and the atmosphere was lovely! Definitely would go again! You need to try the brisket, the pork ribs and the pork belly burnt ends!

Golden Horseshoe Barbecue is an absolute gem. The cuts are top-tier — you can tell they’re using premium quality meat — and everything is cooked to perfection. What really elevates the experience, though, is the staff. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. A special shoutout to Doris, who goes above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. Easily one of the best BBQ spots around.

I just ate THE best authentic Texas barbecue in the city! I ordered their brisket, pork ribs, and pork belly burnt ends. Their rub on the brisket was perfect, it had the right amount of saltiness with a smokey flavour. We chose the fatty end of the brisket and it really kept the meat moist. The pork ribs were tender with lots of meat surrounding the bone. Our favourite were the pork belly burnt ends. It had the perfect texture with a slightly burnt crust that was sweet and savoury, and had me wanting more.
I also ordered the coleslaw and green bean potato salad as sides. The potato salad was slightly pickled, and surprisingly acted as a great complement to cut into the heaviness of the meats.
Shoutout to the owners Andrew and Kris!
I came with my wife and 1 year old, and they helped us set up a high chair to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. They also made their way around the tables to make sure everyone’s needs were taken care of. Excellent service!
