We had the 2 meat plate to share, with brisket and sausage. They also gave a sample of the pork belly. All the meats were tender, moist, and had a great smokey flavour. Our sides were the Mac and cheese and the potato salad. The sides are the BBQ southern style, so a bit softer in texture but still nice to eat when you consider the style. Banana pudding was tasty. They have tables for seating inside. Most people ordered takeout. There is some street parking right outside. Service was super friendly. They gave us free wings to try as well and told us about the history of the shop and the owner. Really enjoyed it and would come back! read more

You better try their Meat & Pudding. I better comeback for more of their other varieties of their food too W Service & Food; the owner is a very nice guy. He gave me a Banana Pudding for free despite it was my first time here. The Place feels like traditional American style Restaurant read more

The bbq meats are cooked very well, tender and not dry (even the chicken!). Good smoke ring. The sides are pretty average, coleslaw was disappointing. I think they are going for the back yard cookout theme- a bunch of guys at the back working the slow cooker. It smells like a bbq, slow and smoky. Overall a decent place but no parking. The Main Street streetcar does stop right in front. read more

This is probably one of the friendlier smokehouses you will visit. Definitely, try the various combos but don't sleep on the Banana Pudding because it's delightful and a really satisfying sweet treat. They have music some nights and the various games playing all the time. Really, if you want some good smoked BBQ this is a worthwhile visit. read more

Really disappointing experience. I placed a $200+ Uber Eats order for myself and guests on a Friday night, expecting a reliable dinner from a BBQ restaurant. Instead, I waited over an hour with no update. When I finally called the restaurant to check on the order, I was casually told that it had been cancelled because they ran out of food. The problem is that no one bothered to notify me. No message in the app, no call -- nothing. I was simply left waiting for over an hour for an order they apparently already knew they couldn't fulfill. What made it worse was the attitude on the phone. The person I spoke with was rude and dismissive, with no apology or attempt to make the situation right. Now I'm told the refund could take up to 10 business days to return to my credit card. Running out of food happens. Ignoring a $200+ order for over an hour on a Friday night and then being rude to the customer is unacceptable. Plenty of better BBQ options in the city -- I won't be ordering from here again. read more

This place was a freaking joke ! My son and his girlfriend decided that they wanted barbecue for dinner. I didn't really care but I was more in the mood for a hotdog but I said OK that's what they want then that's what we'll get. We had to take an Uber for like over $20 just to get to this place And when we get in there, it wasn't what any of us expected first of all it was kinda, not nice looking in there. I don't know how to put it. They had a big chalkboard up, saying all the things that they have and everything was so expensive. So we all decided what we wanted we all wanted a brisket sandwich and maybe aside to go with it and a pop or water. We go to place our orders and the guy in the back says that they have no sandwiches. That number one was ridiculous. So then we went to order this big family thing. I can't remember what it was called but a big order of a lot of stuff and they said we're out of the chicken and out of macaroni and cheese after they told us that they have all the sides. So my son ended up ordering just 1 pound of brisket for all of us to share and then somehow they came up with one big container of macaroni and cheese, even though they just said a few minutes before that they did not have any. For 1 pound of brisket and one cup of macaroni and cheese, it was $70. The brisket was good, but it had a lot of fat on it. The majority of the meat was fat. And all each of us got was about one and a half slices of brisket and myself only got one spoonful of macaroni and cheese and that was my dinner. Each of us only got about 1 1/2 to 2 slices of brisket and my son Jeremy ate the majority of the macaroni and cheese and let me tell you that was not good. The macaroni and cheese was disgusting. It was gritty tasting and just gross I will never go back there again and anybody who decides to go there to eat be prepared for just strange customer service and food. Plus they have no plates or anything they give you a tray with some brisket on it and one cup of aside and you're all supposed to just share it and they only had one fork for us so we all had to use a spoon to eat brisket with and share everything with no plates or anything it was it was a ridiculous experience. We were also frustrated and pissed off. $70 for a miserable dinner that couldn't fill up a baby. The employees there were just a joke too. They weren't making anything clear, they said that they couldn't do the whole big family dinner thing because there was no chicken and maybe one other thing but there's no reason why they couldn't have just replaced it with something else. Plus when my son said about the pound brisket and then somebody else said, did you want your ribs and he was just like what he had no idea what they were talking about. They just were not clear about anything that was going on there. It's like they're making a joke out of us or something because we didn't know what was going on because we weren't regulars there. They knew we were from Buffalo because the owner of the anchor bar was in there picking up a bunch of food at the same time. Anyway, so this was very bad service, not a very clean nice place to eat, and there was no food there pretty much so the whole thing was just a joke. Two thumbs down !! read more

Best bbq in the city! Been going to Beach Hill throughout the years and I'm always impressed by the quality and tastiness of their meats. My favourite is the burnt ends, which has a sweet smoky taste to them. But other offerings are great too, from the really tender brisket, to the glistening pork belly, the creamy potato salad, and a peach cobbler that grandma would approve. If you're in the mood for a no-frills-all-thrills texas bbq, Beach Hill is then place to go. read more

A few years ago, they were giving out free beef brisket sandwiches to the first hundred customers. The sandwiches were perfectly sliced and excellent a ten out ten. Today we decided to get some sandwiches. They were served on very very soggy bread, the brisket was chopped into chunks and not sliced. A very expensive but horrible meal. We couldn't eat the bread and they are very over priced. I lived in Houston and this crap is NOT real Texas BBQ. Avoid ... I would give minus stars if I could and feel ripped off. read more

Came for some barbecue. With all the great reviews I have to see for myself what this place was all about. Walking in it was a little quiet and I wasn't sure if this was a sit-down or casual . found some guys working on an order. They were super helpful and help me make some choices. Having the brisket was really good. It was very soft and it had some great flavor. The barbecue sauce went very well with it and was not overly needed as the brisket had some good flavor. I also had some burnt ends which were excellent and I highly recommend it if you have the chance. I definitely would make note as one of the better spots in Toronto. read more

Their smoked chicken is flavorful and well-seasoned, and the sides round out the meal beautifully. The poblano coleslaw adds a refreshing crunch, the mac & cheese is creamy and comforting, and the baked beans bring a deep, smoky sweetness. Beyond the food, the service is top-notch, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home.

Would've never imagined eating Ribs in a vehicle, but desperate times call for desperate measures! Ordered some trays to use in my SUV, and Voila - Fine dining curb-side! If you don't live close enough to take it home, Beach Hill is not overly messy and can be eaten outside. Lots of street parking at the moment. It's nicely packed, and they have ample napkins inside. Everyone was following health guidelines and service was quick as usual. Definitely recommend the Mac n Cheese & Peach Cobbler. Yeah, it's a bbq place but I'm not a big meat eater.

Food: 4.5 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 3 Stars Fill Factor: Filling I passed by this place during one of the periods where I was trying to cut back on my meat consumption. With me writing this review you can probably guess how successful I was with that resolution. I came in here with the intent of just ordering a sandwich but unfortunately they were out of the Lockhart so down the rabbit hole I went. I ended up ordering some beef brisket, ribs and the mac & cheese. Everything tasted really good with the mac & cheese surprisingly more tasty than I had anticipated. However the highlight of the meal had to be the brisket. There was a distinct aroma to it that made my mouth water and the taste...wow. The fatty brisket was so juicy, tender and full of flavour. That is definitely a fine piece of brisket. I did takeout so I am unsure what the in restaurant dining service (if any) is like. The folks here were friendly and talkative throughout my entire time ordering and having my food prepped. The customer ahead of me was making some pretty rude remarks about the prices and the business but the gentleman handling the order remained calm and professional so bonus points for that. The space itself is not too big. There is some seating closer to the entrance of the restaurant while the kitchen and cash register were further in the back if the building. The space seemed fine with nothing really negative or overly special to say about it. I don't frequent BBQ restaurants much so I can't make a comparison on how Beach Hill stacks against other BBQ restaurants. I just know that the food tasted really good and I'll look to do this again sometime in the near future. read more

Having heard good things about this place, we got their combo for takeout. Always looking for some good bbq in Toronto. Brisket: Amazing smoke flavor. I think I got a leaner cut. Still moist and delicious but would have been perfect with just a tad less dry. Still really good - 4.5/5. Pork ribs - love the monstrous size of these ribs. Has a good coating of spices/rub with a peppery kick. Not fall off the bone but still good. 4/5 Smoked turkey - this was a bit on the dry side but not bad for smoked turkey. Always tricky to get turkey breast moist. Not my favorite but that might be personal choice - 3/5. Sausage - good Smokey flavor, not overly salty. Has quite a peppery kick. I liked it but felt one note after a while with just pepper taking over. 3/5. Potato salad - creamy, chunks of potatoes and other veges. Can't complain - 4.5/5. Coleslaw - fresh, crisp veges. Also a surprising pepper kick to this as well. I liked it but not sure if the pepper is coleslaw is for all. 4/5. Baked beans - soft with a hint of sweetness. Goes well with all the meats. 3.5/5 read more

If I could give this place a 0, I would. We ate there a year ago and picked up some take-out brisket. Of the 2 lbs we bought, 1 1/2 were just inedible fat, to be thrown away. The meat was tasty but when you ask for lean, you expect to get it. HARD PASS read more

Heard so many good things about this place but just did not have a chance to visit. Then yesterday I was looking for something to do yesterday and found out they were celebrating two years anniversaries. Everything I tried was just solid gooood!! Complementary brisket sandwich for the first 100 customers- Brisket was solid but wished bun was warm or toasred. Split pea and ham soup($4) was perfect for rainy day in winter. Stuffeed jalapeno with brisket, saussage & cream cheese($4) was a flavour bomb!! Corn bread($3) was very very moist and was almost falling apart. Peach cobbler($4) was not your typical pretty cobbler but you should try it. . Dry Pork ribs were sold by LB ($12) and paid about $20. Loved that they did not smother ribs with bbq sauce. It was great as us with rubs. Ordered two saussages($10 ea) They were very tasty and could not stop eating even though my stomach already had no room to take., Potato salad($4) was ammaazzing!! Liked the idea they added kale !! Service was beyond friendly. That explained why they have so many regulars to come in to celebrate their birthday. Will certainly go back for smoked turkey and The Irish Texan. read more

Hands down one of the best bbqs I ever had in my life even better than adamson bbq, a little pricey we got half a pound brisket and half a pound turkey with bbq sauce on the side, one negative the place was dirty there were a lot of flies so definitely they should work on their cleanliness, but let's start with the bbq, the brisket oh my god so tender and smoky, the meat just pulls apart perfectly cooked, I felt like I was in heaven, and the turkey juicy moist had a Smokey flavour but the prize money was the brisket, it just falls apart, one suggestion they should it by the pound cuz half a pound won't even fill up a toddler, but overall well done on the bbq they know what they're doing that's for sure, honestly it doesn't need bbq sauce but they give bbq sauce complimentary when you order read more

A small street front place. Grab your food in the back and then find a seat at a patio table (tho they are inside) to eat. I chose the Lockhart sandwich which was great!

This is a gem and an unexpected treat. The service was marvelous. When we saw this place, it seemed small. When we walked inside, there was amble space with a comfortable setting. We had a party of 7. They quickly accommodated us. We were presented with the menu and tried to decide on the best bbq options. This smokehouse was actually phenomenal. The waitresses were extremely polite and professional. Terria made sure we all had what we needed. She even told the owner how much she enjoyed our group that the chef and owner gave us a free Ribeye to show their appreciation. I ordered a indecisive sampler. It was created for me. I promise. 3 baby back ribs that would fall off the bone to the touch. The brisket was tasty but the sauce wasn't my favorite. The pulled pork was absolutely the best I've tasted. I ordered a slider bun to make it into a sandwich. The smoked sausage did not disappoint. The steak that was complementary was moist and tasty as well. If you visit Toronto, you need to stop here. This place is truly amazing. read more

I lived in Houston for over 7 years through grad school and have had Texas bbq in midland, Austin, Dallas, Houston etc. I really wanted to find a good Texas bbq joint ever since coming home to toronto. I had really wanted to love this place. I have tried many restaurants in toronto and never seemed to find the taste I had down south. Anyways, so my standards are not that high. However, the experience I had was not fantastic. We visited Beach Hill Danforth location during lunchtime last Saturday. There were no other guests there. Pricy- for 2 people, we paid $70 for our lunch which was served in paper and take out containers. I understand that meat in toronto costs a lot but it's still a bit much. Would prefer having an option on the menu where a plate combo was served that comes with a meat and two sides. Bbq joints in Texas serve meat on a paper wrap for you to take home but lots of bbq joints do serve a glorious large plate that can feed a Texas sized appetite. Maybe a Texan size plate for $20-24 and a small plate for $16-20. Ribs- 1/2 pound gets you about 3 pieces of ribs- for $14.50, no sides, tasty, Smokey meat. Very peppery. Brisket- 1/2 pound comes to about 4 slices, no sides very moist, juicy meat, delicious! Sides- the small sides are quite generous for one person. Tastes very herby and interesting. Both meats need some bbq sauce on the side for dipping or it's a bit dry. read more

I was entertaining a friend from Vancouver and we were looking for something different (for him) to try. Looking through Yelp, a five star BBQ place grabbed our attention. Hello! Beach Hill Smokehouse is located in the Upper Beach area, not somewhere known for a lot of restaurants, muchless good food. Walking in, there were a few picnic tables for dining and what looks like a bar still under construction. Walking towardss the back of the restaurant, through a narrow passageway, revealed more picnic tables, an open kitchen and the counter where orders are placed and picked up. There was a short line ahead of us, giving us time to look over the menu. Their meats are priced and sold by the half pound. They offer a few sandwiches, basic sides, and some desserts. The fellow ahead of us got a juicy looking beef rib so we had to have one too. It looked so good! We also ordered half a pound of pork ribs, half a chicken, a small potato salad, and a large coleslaw. Yes we were pigs. I don't know how much the beef rib weighed but the total bill was $66 with tax and tip. Everything was served on a tray, no plates, and only plastic utensils and lots of paper towels available. Rustic. Nothing wrong with that. The beef rib was the most distinctive thing on the tray, looking like a lump of black coal with a bone going through it. BBQ lovers know that as the bark (think tree bark) and all the goodness is just below it. No disappointment here. The meat was so tender and juicy with a nice smokey flavour. A plastic fork or fingers were just fine to pull it apart. Excellent! The pork ribs had just the right amount of resistance to come off the bone. Delicious! We should have ordered more. The chicken, although good, paled in comparison to the beef and pork. If you like chicken, order it. I'll stick with the beef and pork ribs. Their house BBQ sauce, neither sweet nor tangy, worked well with all the meats. That beef rib must have been bigger than we thought. I ended up taking home some of the beef and a quarter chicken. That's what you get when you order with your eyes. It was just as good a couple of days later. We learned a few things while waiting in line and ordering. This place has been open since January, 2018 and they're serving Central Texas style BBQ where it's mostly about the smoke. It's run by two Americans, one from Buffalo and the other from Texas, so I guess that makes it authentic. It's been a few days since my friend returned to Vancouver and he's been texting me every day about this food. Yes, it was that good. Try it. read more

I took the long trip to the Beach Hill Smokehouse on a Friday night. The restaurant is located near Main and Gerrard. The restaurant was not crowded and there is plenty of seating. The food is served on a tray with no plates. You ordered the food by the half pound. I ordered a half pound of ribs and a half pound of brisket with a soft drink for 33 dollars. Maybe I don't know much about Texas BBQ, but I was disappointed in only getting two large pork bone with little meat. It tastes okay, but I can easily make the same dish at a much lower cost. The brisket was fatty and tasty, but not outstanding. Will I go back? I doubt it because it is very expensive for the amount of food I got. read more

Pre-ordered the family cookout ($75) + an extra pound of brisket ($13 per half lbs) for an at home date. Pretax total came to just above $100 Note they only do preorders $100 or over, but when I called, they did mention that if you drop by weekends around 5:30pm, you should be fine Food was very plentiful even though at first glance when picking up, it seemed somewhat light Overall, the meal we bought could easily feed 3 to 4 people! The breakdown: Brisket: definitely one of the best we had. The bark on the brisket was perfect and it was incredibly tender with an insane smoke flavour. We ordered more to hit that preorder $100 mark, and definitely no regrets!! Sausage: also very good. Smoky flavour and not too greasy/fatty. Ribs: super tender, peppery & smoky flavour. Not saucy at all, but really let's the meat shine opposed to the sauce. Turkey: like many said, slightly on the dry side, could use more smoke flavour imo, and probably some more fat to keep moist. Still pretty good Sides: coleslaw was amazing fill of parsley (which we love), beans were also smokey and were delicious. Potato salad was good but could use some more zing (maybe dill?) Overall, great meats with very good flavours. Price is reasonable for what you get. Brisket is a must order! read more

Came across Beach Hill whilst looking for some decent Texas style BBQ (absolutely not going to Adamson again after the owners weird tirade). Headed down there and picked up a pound of pork ribs, some sausage links, Mac n cheese, beans and cornbread. I'll review item by item below! Pork ribs - 3/5. They were okay, but they weren't very tender and didn't really taste like the ribs I've had in Texas to be honest...they did have a nice peppery bark though. Sausage - 3/5. Sausage wasn't bad, had a good amount of spice to em. The casing was a bit thick for me so they had quite a bit of chew to em. Mac n Cheese - 4.5/5. Cheese was good and not nasty processed cheese, wasn't runny, pasta was cooked perfectly. Beans - 5/5. Super super good baked bbq beans. Cornbread - 3.5/5. It was good, but It had actual pieces of corn in it which to be honest, I've never seen. I've seen jalapeño slices which are awesome, but not corn. Gave it a weird texture. Overall, Beach Hill is among the better BBQ joints in the city for sure, so don't skip it. But I really wouldn't call it true Texas style. read more

Holy smokes! Lord have mercy on my soul. Sweet baby Jesus. The moment you step in, you are greeted by a warm welcoming whiff of smoke. As I watch countless people devour their trays of meat, I could not help but to salivate. Line was relatively short(thank god). Finally greeted by the most cheerful cash guy(mad props). Decided to break my order down to 2 phases. Phase 1 (eat in) - Austin and The Big D' and Phase 2(take out) - 1lb brisket, 1lb ribs, half pound turkey, 1 sausage, 10 wings, coleslaw, Mac n cheese, bread pudding and banana pudding and cornbread . As I collected my order I rushed to the nearest table to get a quick sample of the 2 sandwiches. Oh my...the ribs are to die for. The first initial bite reminded me of pork jerky, but as soon as you get through the initial chew, it disintegrates into your mouth like butter. The buns were perfect for the meat to absorb all the juices. The brisket fell apart. Meatgasm was achieved. As of right now, I have the phase 2 waiting for me. Unfortunately the portion size of the 2 sandwiches were too generous leading me to a part food coma. Without even tasting the other meats I'm going to say this is THE best bbq in toronto. Props. read more

So so so excellent. I've had the: pork rib, beef rib, fatty beef brisket, the Mac and cheese, the beans, the coleslaw and the sausage from here. ALL super delicious authentic Texas BBQ.

Would definitely recommend. read more

We love this place! The food is incredible and the staff are absolutely fantastic. Get the ribs and banana pudding

4/5 Stars! Beach Hill Smokehouse offer's a wide range of assorted meat's and sides to fulfill any bbq lovers appetites. Definitely a secret gem on the east side of the city! Atmosphere was very chill and the personalities of the guys taking and making your order's almost outshine the bbq itself! As any other bbq spot in the city, you order your food by the lb so keep in mind of what you get before your bill goes through the roof. The ribs and beef brisket are two of the hottest picked items we had in our meal. Very flavourful, two items you cannot miss. The chicken, I will say, was a little dry, I would have preferred getting more beef brisket and another rib vs. the chicken. Overall a great experience! read more

Now I'm no smokehouse expert but Beach Hill is where it's at!! First off the customer service is AMAZING and I don't give praise easily when it comes to that. The food portion looked small but was shockingly filling, but you'd order more just because it taste that good. I would suggest getting the FAMILY COOKOUT deal and try everything at once!! I can't pick between the Mac and cheese, beans, brisket, potato salad, and ribs, they all were finger licking good!! DONT FOR GET YOUR SAUCE. Not a fan of vinegar based coleslaw, but I think the creamy one would slap with some corn!! read more

Beach Hill Smokehouse is a Southern BBQ house that specializes in Central Texas BBQ located on the Northwest corner of Gerrard St East and Main St in the Upper Beaches. It's located right across from Ted Reeve Community Arena. I went with the fatty beef brisket ($13 plus tax for 1/2 a pound) and an order of beef ribs ($26 plus tax), a side of small poblano coleslaw ($4 plus tax) and bourbon banana pudding for dessert ($4 plus tax). This was a lot of food for one person, if I added another small side, it would have been a good amount of food for two people with normal sized appetites. The fatty beef brisket was really good. Juicy, tender meat with a nice char on the outside with the proper amount of seasoning. The beef rib was also really good. A huge Flintstone sized beef rib with a nice layer of bark. The meat fell of the bone, really nicely seasoned with a nice smoke to it and a beautiful char to it. The poblano coleslaw was a good coleslaw with a nice kick to it which came from the poblano peppers but nothing too spicy. To finish off the meal I had the bourbon banana pudding. I really loved this dessert, I could have eaten two but one was good enough. Nice creamy banana pudding with small hints of bourbon. The service was really friendly and lots of picnic benches inside for ample places to sit down and eat. Beach Hill Smokehouse is a really good place in Toronto to get Central Texas barbecue. It's also a really good alternative to Adamson BBQ. It can be frustrating trying to get beef ribs at Adamson BBQ because they are usually sold out by noon and you are stuck with only the option of pork ribs. Nonetheless, the barbecue at Beach Hill Smokehouse is pretty good stuff. read more

I have eaten BBQ many places in Toronto. The ones on Roncesvalles. The one on Queen near Trinity Bellwoods.  The one that used to be on Harbord.

We ordered the take-home meals "Family Cookout" (1/2 lb of Brisket, 1 lb of Ribs, 2 Sausages, 1/2 lb Turkey, 1 large Beans, 1 large Potato Salad, and 1 large Coleslaw $75) and because we aren't huge fans of beans we were able to exchange them for mac n cheese (additional $3) and picked up 4 corn breads ($4 ea. I think?) Along with this, we also ordered 2 sandwiches : The Lockhart ($12.50) and the The Austin ($13.50). We brought home the foods to eat and saved the Family cookout to eat another day. Reviews for the sandwiches: -Very small for the price that you pay for them, and they should have had a bigger bun for the more meat sandwiches. -More toppings for the sandwiches -Found them a bit dry Reviews for the Family Cookout: -Reheated well -Ribs were my favourite -Sides were yummy -Cornbread was okay- the size was very small for the price -To include a side of gravy or sauce to accompany the meats -If they had it all in an oven-safe take-home pan to allow for easy reheat as instead of the paper (from leaking) would be great! -FRIES or warmed potato side would be great! -To include cornbread or a dessert to the combo in a reheatable tray would be great too! Overall, would recommend and fed all of us for the evening and for the next day too! I wouldn't recommend the sandwiches if you are feeling extra hungry! read more
