I can see how this place would be hit and miss. We had great service though. Our server told us to stick with the BBQ items because that's their specialty- so we did. Pulled pork sandwich was great! I planned to only eat half but couldn't stop. Good meat to bun ratio, also great bun choice. Good fries. On the menu I thought it said all BBQ items come with coleslaw and fries, so when it came with mixed greens topped with mango, blueberries, strawberries and loaded with a sweet dressing I was disappointed. Im really not a "fruit in my salad" type of person though. Also they didn't serve with hot sauce. I'd say steer clear of the salads but I'd be happy to eat that pulled pork again! Nachos were also good. My friends got the farfalle and said it was tasty. read more

Breakwall BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich. - Barbeque Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Overall great joint for BBQ and a casual meal. Best for a sunny day when you can sit on the patio. Pulled pork plate and brisket sandwich were fantastic. Good BBQ sauce and horseradish sauce. Coleslaw was good, a little bit too creamy for my taste, but overall not too creamy. Fries were pretty good. Expect around 20, plates include 2 sides. It was large and felt like great value. Would I go regularly? Probably not because it felt heavy. But would I be back and recommend to a friend? Absolutely 9/10 NPS. read more

FOUR STAR reviews for Breakwall a friendly neighborhood pub in the Beach area of Toronto Nice food ...friendly atmosphere... polite and helpful staff! Thank you I will be returning! read more

I enjoy this place every time we go here. If you listen you can hear everyone around you enjoying their meals as well. Has become a go-to spot in the beaches for sure for BBQ. Also love their long island iced tea! read more

Went Monday night. Special was $19 Prime Rib, or 1/2 price wings. Food was pretty great. Service was also good. Ordered the specials, and the price was phenomenal. read more

What caught my eye was the really the large fake palm tree out front. On a nice summer day, the front patio is the perfect place to people watch as you cool off with a drink (there were some interesting patrons from the neighborhood). They have the usual pub food and beer options, so no surprises from the menu. I had a wrap which was a great lunch option, especially with a pitcher of beer to wash it down with. Even though it was a busy weekend, the service was obviously working hard to keep up and our server she was friendly when she was with us. A good choice when in the neighborhood. read more

Went there for a late night meal and was shocked at how good the ribs were. They were smoked to perfection and finished off perfectly. Coleslaw was fresh and crunchy and the beans were really good. All in all, a fantastic meal for a great price. Shane the owner was super friendly and explained his technique. I will be back earlier to experience more of the menu. read more

Ordered delivery twice. It's a bit expensive but servings are generous so you get your money's worth. The farfalle is delicious. I normally hate sundried tomatoes but they're bomb. Reminds me of the only good dish at Cheesecake Factory, Cajun chicken with bow tie pasta, that they took off the menu years ago so I haven't gone back. The ribs were good and my toddler love them. Forgot what else I had the last time but i think one thing was poutine and it was really good. Cobb salad is fire. read more

Regardless of what you order you will be impressed with the food and drinks at Breakwall. My favourite meals are the Farfalle pasta, Breakwall Cobb salad, pulled pork quesadilla and the mussels. The meals are served with fresh cut fries and/ or a fresh salad with amazing homemade dressings. The place is clean and has a great patio for their extensive list of blended cocktails- all of which come with fresh fruit. I would thoroughly recommend Breakwall to anyone looking for a great meal, a cold bevy or both. Make sure to check out their daily specials board because they always have hot deals. read more

This place was amazing! The BBQ and pasta here was bananas. Ribs were on point and Shane is the best. The big boy is the way to go and big groups are their specialty, food comes out fast and delicious. read more

First time visiting & it was great. Patio is a nice on a warm summer night. Staff & fellow customers are friendly. This is a place I would take out-of-towners for a night out read more

Have eaten here many times and only once was I a bit disappointed with a BBQ meat dish being a bit dry, but otherwise the ribs and chicken are very good. The salads in particular are wonderful - huge portions and very tasty. My husband enjoys the sandwiches and pasta. Kids menu is great, and again very good sized portions. Sometimes the food takes a while but in general we are very happy with this place. Definitely the best pub food in the Beach. read more

Although you wouldn't suspect fantastic tasting, meaty deliciousness when you first approach Breakwall... Don't be fooled. The prices are great, the meat is melt in your mouth, (especially the ribs) the accompaniment of great sides like fresh cut fries and fresh fruit makes for one seriously happy foodie. Don't forget to have a cocktail or beer while there... Maybe even a Swedish Berry Shot : ) read more

Great spot for BBQ. We have been ordering takeout and that is good too. Order the indecisive platter to try all the different types smoked meat. read more

Food is really mediocre considering how it smells and the price. Have gone here about 3 times and haven't enjoyed it once. All the sandwiches are ruined with too much of something and everything is so dry. Fries are soggy and undercooked every time. Not seasoned or anything. Really disappointing place read more

This place has best wings in Toronto!!! They are smoked to perfection!! The sauce is terrific and the atmosphere is awesome!!! If you ever visit Canada you absolutely have to come to Breakwall BBQ smokehouse!!! The owner was amazing!!!! I love love loved it!!!!!!! read more

This place is second to none! When I have an important meeting or dinner date this is always my first choice. Pasta cooked to perfection, melt in your mouth smoked meats, and all the best beers on tap! Service has always been delightful, employees seem to be happy to be at work and enjoying their day. Food portions are enormous! Bring your stretchy pants and prepare for a doggy bag! read more

I usually come here with friends. It is a 2 floor sports bar which contains fooseball or pool. They have a large selection on the menu and I would have to say their daily meals are large portions and good enough to take home. They have a couple of tvs and serve beer. I think is a fun place if you just want to kick it and hang with a couple friends. It's a great area to be in especially when you're exploring around during nice weathers. read more

You have good portion sizes here and good pub grub, definitely more of a place you go to for drink deals because they have everyday specials. It is better to go in summertime because they have a big front patio but in winter they have a nice lounge on second floor. Not a good spot for wine drinkers but for mixed drinks and beers it's one of the gems of the beaches. I go there a ton with my bf and sometimes they do mess up our order but when they do they gave us our meal for free which was great and the meal was still great so no complaints here! read more

It saddens me to see so many bad reviews on here! I come here very often to eat and have never had a bad meal or experience. Pastas, pulled pork, calimari, and baked brie (to name a few) are all super yummy and the portions are massive for the price. Definitely worth trying if you're in the beach, I'd say best "bar" food on queen right now! read more

Best pasta in the world!!!! Get the farfalle!!!! It is AMAZING!!!!!!! My fav pasta spot in the city!

Pub food prices for massive portions of BBQ seems like a golden recipe. Overall, the quality of the BBQ was alright. Nothing memorable or worth coming back for (except if I have a serious craving for BBQ and can't find anything else). The brisket was tasty but there was something missing. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy their food, but it didn't appear anyone was wowed by it. The best surprise was the fries under the brisket that had brisket fat dripping on them. Required excessive self-control not to gorge on those. If I was in a mood to go all out, the brisket poutine on the menu was also extremely tempting, but I've heard other places in TO do that too, so I might give one of those a shot. read more

Cute place. Small. Good kids menu options. Beer on tap. Main meal fish was fresh and delicious, other food was good. Not very memorable. Good value for money read more

The food here was bad. Really bad. Riblet appetizer came to the table charred and dry, pulled pork sandwich was gross, ribs were dry and tough, not juicy and moist at all like ribs should be. Only good part of the meal was the fries. Had to get our own condiments and side plates as well. Definitely do not go here. read more

I have eaten at breakwall many times over the years, has always been a great spot to hit up in The Beaches.

I found the food very tasteless and the meat dry as a wood chip. It's a small establishment, unless it's summer and you get to sit outside, and rather musky smelling. I also didn't like the way the manager was acting towards the waitresses. But I did give it one star. read more

I love this place! The food is absolutely amazing every time I go. Great portions ( too much lol ), cooked perfectly for the dish and full of flavour. It is a go to for myself with or without my kids and I always take friends there when visiting me from out of town as I know they will be 100% satisfied and they always are! I've even personally complimented the chef as I'm that impressed with the quality and consistency of excellence! Great job! read more

This place is my new favourite pub in the Beaches. Food and service are great . The pulled pork quesadilas are awesome.... and, as someone has already mentioned here, the serving sizes are huge! read more

Really really tasty ribs! the wings, salads etc all really good too! Nice patio, I wish they'd reno the inside so I could enjoy year round. I'd recommend this as a patio stop or even for good takeout. Plus they have really good daily dinner / drink specials. P.S. It's WAY better smoked BBQ food than Hogtown down the street. read more

Great BBQ. Great atmosphere. Renovations are great. Super friendly staff. Did I mention great BBQ?!

The food was actually decent in quality but ordered their delivery and it took nearly two hours to arrive. Was ice cold. Wings were good, but for $14, there was only six in the order. SIX! Huge rip-off, won't be ordering from here again. read more

Saw a dog in the backyard near the smoker and in the kitchen area and right away stopped eating my food . Food quality is bad and servers seemed to be drinking on the job and messed up my order. Not recommend read more

Terrific, laid back atmosphere and to die for BBQ - can't go wrong with any of the ribs, pulled pork or brisket. Simply amazing. Servers are very friendly and the owner is terrific. read more

Wow, this place blew me away. We went there for a work party last night, and I could not be happier about our choice. We gave them our budget, and they made up a buffet for us, and not a single item failed to impress, with excellent smokey flavor, tender consistency, and some of the best sauces around. I go to rib fest every year, and nothing I have had holds a candle to what I had here. The brisket-Phenomenal, the ribs-mindblowing. I fancy myself a bit of a wing connoisseur, and they were amazing. Don't know what they do differently, but the perfect crispiness is a true rarity. Even the pasta and salad exceeded expectations. This place is a gem, and both the front, and back of house are friendly and inviting. Whether your going on a date, have a group of friends that are looking to get a bite and watch the game, going on a company outing, or just feel like having some great eats and a beer, I would say do yourself a favor and check this spot out. My ONLY complaint is the signage isn't the greatest and it's kind of hard to see, and as such, likely isn't the Toronto staple it truly deserves to be. 6/5 from me, Since last night I have already planned a triple date here, and am taking my parents. read more

Landed at this restaurant while in Toronto visiting some friends. Walking in it was fairly standard bar downstairs, which was what we were looking for. We ended up sitting upstairs, where there was a large TV and music playing. The waiter was very friendly and laid back, and nice enough to change the channel to the station my friend wanted to see since there were no big sports games on at the time. My friends and I shared the mussels to start. Huge portion, great sauce and bread to go along with it. I got the avacado cobb salad as a main and it was fantastic. Lots of avacado and bacon, and huge portions. The prices were very good, my bill was about $35 for the salad, half mussels and a couple beers. All in all I was surprised at the variety in the menu, as it wasn't what I expected thinking it was just another pub. Would recommend. read more

Went here during Jazz fest and had an excellent experience! The band they had playing out front was great! I had the pulled pork poutine and loved it! Good amount of smokiness and flavour! My girlfriend had their Cobb salad and she enjoyed it alot! Goof prices, draft selection is good and lots of different frozen cocktails. Will definatley go back when in the area again! read more
