    Brisket, ribs, chicken wings, etc. to share
    Laura R.

    My, oh my, is this place delicious! The brisket, ribs, chicken wings, sweet potato, mac and cheese and other sides were phenomenal! There are not many tables, so we purposely arrived in the middle of the afternoon, when the weather outside was frightful, so that we could snag a place to sit. Service was very prompt and friendly. You order at the cash, and they bring your order to your table. Texas BBQ in TO! Yeehaw!

    Came here for team lunch and I see the 3 Michelin Guide badges on their wall. Yeap. Need to come here. Lol! So we came and glad we made it before the lunch rush. Food came shortly and man the brisket is soft and juicy! Service was alright and music lively.

    Tried Cherry Street Barbecue for the first time and as someone who's never had Texas BBQ before, I was pleasantly surprised. The brisket and cornbread were the standout favourites for me flavourful and tender. The mac and cheese and ribs were solid too (wish there was more bbq sauce) My boyfriend loved all the proteins, so it definitely hit the spot for him. Service was great, but the seating/setup is a bit unusual since it's self-serve and you order at the front, which was a little confusing for a first visit. Overall, a tasty experience, maybe not something I'd rush back for but definitely worth trying at least once.

    I've been wanting to try Cherry Street BBQ for the better part of 5 years. I've been dancing around it but I never found the perfect opportunity to try it... until last Saturday. When I finally got the chance, let me tell you - I was NOT disappointed. Is it the best BBQ I've ever had? No. But the food was excellent and the vibes were IMMACULATE. I tried the Cherry Street Sampler for 4. The portions are very generous. We had to ask for to-go boxes, and this is something that I NEVER do. The brisket was very fatty and the chicken wings were crispy and super flavourful. More than anything, it's the sides that surprised me. The broccoli salad, corn elote, and coleslaw all cut through the heavy, fatty foods and complimented the main dishes perfectly. The pork ribs were a tad dry, and that's the only negative thing I could possibly say about Cherry Street. I would recommend that you go on a nice day. The patio is huge with tons of seating, and there's a bar right outside to ensure expedient delivery of alcoholic beverages. When I went, there was even a live band playing a medley of blues, soul, R&B, and indie rock. It was an incredible experience, and one that I wish to have again before the end of summer. I would wholly recommend Cherry Street BBQ!

    I haven't had much texas bbq, but this place is good. Brisket was good and juicy. Really liked the pork riblets and mac n cheese. Would definitely come back. Service was fast. The place is small. Men's washroom had a funky smell though.

    Love the vibe! The service was great!!! Food was a lot! I was very full packed the rest to-go! Had enough lunch the next day!!! Perfect sunny day for patio too! Will come back now especially with the new park across the street!

    Kinda disappointed wasn't how I expected it to taste. I think Texas bbq is more flavourful. The niblets just tasted burnt. I don't know if that's a thing. The sides were just meh. The brisket was very tender. The ribs were also tender. I did a delivery order.

    Came in for some BBQ and were lucky. A few of my friends hadn't been to cherry street before so we decided to go. The weather was a bit crummy so it wasn't very busy. We were seated and placed drink orders. The flow is different because your server will cover your drinks and everything but we still ordered at the counter for our meals. I got the chicken sandwich with a side of beans and some coleslaw and shared an order of brisket. The chicken had some weirdly tough pieces which I didn't expect for something cooked low and slow. It might have been a tendon or something but it was a very strange bite. The beans were really nice but I didn't love the coleslaw. I'd go for the potato salad next time. The brisket had a really thick layer of fat through the middle that hadn't rendered down as much. Almost a quarter of the slice was fat :/ It's good but not great. I hear the ribs are really good so it might be worth going for those.

    ah , nope

    Spent time in Texas, Baytown , Fortworth; South Carolina, Charleston ; North Carolina , Charlotte... I wanted to try Cherry Street BBQ since it looked decent when we rode past it during the summer. We ate the sampler, thank goodness we ONLY ordered what we did.The brisket wasn't over cooked and was okay. Ribs, love ribs, but these weren't great when friends can make better ribs on the BBQ/smoker. Pulled pork, just didn't hit. Sausage, neighbor's German, and a best friend's Finnish where they MAKE their own post hunting - delicious, not at Cherry. Our cornbread was served COLD,that's like handing someone COLD hush puppies. Those beans, not sure what happened, the spices overwhelmed otherwise well cooked ones. Potato salad is a favorite, we left it,along with that coleslaw ; the BEST was their mac and cheese, not heavy cheese type,but good. We were hoping to have a great spot in Toronto.

    The beef briskets are gorgeous and really filed us up after the bike ride along the lake. The fat is excellent and we both went for it. The ice cold larger is great. We would come here again in a heartbeat. The 'burnt ends' are the fatty end of the beef briskets and they ran out so we couldn't order but will do next time.

    After visiting the Distillery for the winter market, we were looking for a place to eat nearby and ended up here. Because we had some snacks while at the Distillery, we ordered the small plate where we choose 3 meat options and 3 appetizer options. We ordered the pulled pork, sausage and brisket with potato salad, mac and cheese and cornbread. I will likely pass on the sausage next time. Overall, the portion was perfect for us that evening. Because there's no longer anything around the area, parking was extremely easy and it's a comfortable place to grab a bite with friends. It was a very nice environment. They have a really large outdoor patio area also, it must be great in the summer time!

    a platter of ribs and sides
    Jessica M.

    Came here to meet up with some friends. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of BBQ in this style, but obviously I had to try this place as I've heard many good things about it and it's their specialty! First off, it's located near Cherry Beach area, which is quite out of the way from the downtown core. I took a bus and still had to walk quite a bit. Not a problem though! We were a party of 5 and got the Cherry St Platter, which serves 4+ people. However, it was actually a lot of food, and we had leftovers. Serving size was huge!! Overall, I thought it was good, I'd give it an 8/10. My favourite was the chicken and sausage. Unfortunately, the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs I found quite dry. I really wished the ribs would pull off the bone, but you had to really bit into it. The brisket was tough too. All of the sides (beans, coleslaw, potato salad, cornbread) were delicious. I think a day at Cherry Beach and Cherry St BBQ would be awesome! I would come back again if I'm in the area!

    Sampler platter (2+), chicken, brisket, ribs

    3.5 stars. Always on my radar, but never in the area, I finally decided to bite the bullet and try it out one nice summery afternoon It's in a weird spot, located in a corner where nothing much is going on currently....except a whole lot of construction...so be prepared for noise (think a few condos are going up). Ended up trying the large BBQ platter - chicken, baby back ribs/spare ribs, brisket, coleslaw, beans, Mac & cheese The chicken was nice and juicy and the brisket was all sorts of delicious. The mac was decent. Slaw is..well slaw lol. I thought the beans could have used more spice or punch in your face taste. Everything was good, don't know if I'd make the drive out here specially for this though. Bonus is Cherry beach is up the street so you can nap off the meat sweats there lol You order inside at the counter and if you want to sit at the patio they will bring it outside. There's plenty of tables outside to enjoy the sun. There is also a bar outside as well. Parking is a small lot behind their restaurant or street parking

The beef was my favorite -- thin, tender, and cooked just right. Pork belly wrapped in lettuce with sauce was tasty, and lamb was a little tricky to grill but still flavorful. Seafood isn't the best for grilling -- shrimp and squid didn't have much flavor, and salmon and clams were okay. Veggies were solid though -- zucchini and mushrooms were cooked just right, and the grilled pineapple was sweet and delicious. Edamame was fine, takoyaki mostly batter but cute and tasty. Desserts were adorable -- caramel pudding, coconut, and banana popsicles were fun to try. The vibe is cozy but lively, perfect for couples. Grilling together was actually really fun -- taking turns, sharing, and coordinating made it feel like a little team activity. Totally enjoyed the experience, and it's a really playful, interactive way to enjoy Japanese BBQ!

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.
