    Our car in front of Gator BBQ
    Jochen S.

    We have been to Gator BBQ because we wanted to have a pulled pork sandwich for lunch during our test drive with the new MB A Class. The owner of Gator BBQ was talking with us and showed us his smoker grill and gave use some examples of his beef brisket and some pulled pork out of his smoker. Such a great experience and I have to say, thank you so much. If I will ever be around here again - I will visit Gator BBQ again.

    If you have been to Ribfests in the Ontario, you would have been familiar with Gator BBQ. One of the longest lines at most of the Ribfests, but just go line up!! Trust me, their ribs are totally worth it for all the hassle and wait in line. Smokey, Juicy, Tender, Fall off the bone, Delicious, Meaty, Fingers licking good!! The staffs are super nice! Full of energy! Watch the Open Flame! Smell the Meat! Taste what real BBQ ribs suppose to taste like! Don't worry about making a mess with the delicious BBQ sauce... just use one of their complimentary bib and you will be A-OK!!

    I was very lucky to part be part of the rib fest jury that took place at the old port rib fest in Montreal this year! And we got to try anonymously 8 different types of ribs .. and from the moment I tried gators ribs ( without knowing it was them) I literally fell in love!! .. it also won first place with the Yelp event!! So ofcourse after it was over I went on over and still ordered a half a rack for my husband and I it was seriously out of this world. I loved everything about it.. the meat , the texture, the BBQ! I hope they come back next year for rib fest because this was truly a memorable place and if not I'll just have to go to YOU to satisfy my rib cravings! .. what's even more amazing about this place is that it's a mom & son duo .. CAN YOU FEEL THE EXTRA LOVE?! I know I definitely did! .. will be dreaming of these ribs forever now

    Tldr: super tasty ribs AND sauce. Quick, friendly service and staff, would recommend Decided to go to these guys at the Toronto ribfest 2017 at Thomson Park as I heard pretty good things about them. Usually when I go to ribfests, I look for places with the best meat. Though in the past choosing this route I ended up with great meat undoubtedly, but the sauce is meh. So over the years I have been trying to find a place that wouldn't sacrifice the meat over sauce or vice versa. Was recommended Gator bbq, and boy oh boy did it satisfy my expectations for great ribs. This vendor had delicious meat, as well sauce that was on par to enhance the meat flavors. The ribs were meaty, juicy, soft, and tender. The meat was so "Fall off the bone" that the ribs were pretty much begging you to rip it off. The sauce was rich, flavorful, smoky, and had a bit of sweetness to it, while not overpowering the meat at the same time. The staff were super friendly, and man do they know how to work the grill. To my surprise, the wait wasn't that long as they had two grills and two lines going on at the same time. There were lots of people waiting as well, but these guys were speedy. Once you ordered, your ribs are pretty much done. Overall, I would recommend this place over the other vendors hands down. Definitely going to come back here next year.

    Oh my lord. Gator BBQ is hands-down one of the top barbecue spots to come to the GTA. Their rig is definitely the one to check out next time you're at ribfest. Their ribs are excellent as they are tender but have a clean bite. The smoke ring is really what wins me over though. There is so much flavour in every bite. My absolute favourite part would have to be the potatoes. I don't know what they do to them but they're absolutely addictive. Once I started I just couldn't stop! Delicious food in hearty portions!

    Great spot to listen to live music and have a beer or three. Bartenders are friendly and there is a huge patio in the summertime

    Deli meat sandwich (pictures is only half each) can make an additional 2 sandwich's!!! The veal is…read moreone of the best I ever had, full of peppers onions and provolone cheese, sauce on a just enough and the mean is fresh and so soft. Angelina is very nice and makes everything fresh and home made, she is feebly and prepares ur sandwich too.Going in it's like 1975 but it's great really price for 2 (10 inch long ) sandwiches with meat cheese and a bottled brio 30. Cash only too Went again Another trip to visit Angelina and her husband this time the famous meatball sandwich. 3 large on a fresh bun. Spicy and just enough sauce, you won't be able to take an entire bite as the meatball is big. Perfect sandwich. Also saw this old cassette sale carrousel classic.

    Hello fellow foodies I got an amazing review for you today..I just love italian veal sandwiches…read more,definitely my favorite type sandwich and I have tried them from most places in the GTA . I was told by a family member to try out Cosimos deli veal , so i was in the area so decided to stop in and try out there italian veal sandwich. This italian deli is tucked away in a small plaza on the north side of dundas just past Mavis rd ..its almost easy to not see this deli but look for the yellow sign on the end of building . It's an amazing elderly italian couple that runs the place , she does the cooking and he works along side in deli with her serving these marvelous veal sandwiches. They remind me of my grandparents just amazing people with love for there food and for there customers. So friendly so amazing. Food 5/5 let's just start by saying if I could rate it higher then 5 I would it's just that good . First of all it dosnt get more authentic as far a italian veal goes. The bread is the real italian deal , not like the kinda buns you get at Californias , this is real italian loaf crunchy crust on outside and soft on inside, home made style just like mama makes. The veal was tender perfectly cooked not greasy so flavorful I couldn't believe how great the veal tasted with a nice coating of there homemade tomato sauce , I have to say the sauce was just incredible . Topped with there perfectly seasoned grilled onions green peppers and a few hot peppers in an olive oil base that soaked so nicely into that amazing bread . He also sliced two fresh slices from a big block of provolone cheese , and heated up sandwich in oven to melt the cheese . This is now by far the best best veal sandwich I have ever had and I now have my goto place for italian veal sandwiches. The veal was $10 but to be honest I would gladly pay $20 for this sandwich it's just that good people. My pictures speak for themselves as you can see. Service 5/5 again if I could give the service rating for this place more then 5/5 rating it totally deserves it. The elderly couple that run this place are genuinely so nice and you can see how much passion and love goes into there food and customer satisfaction..The man even offered me an espresso while I was waiting for my sandwich . I dosnt get any nicer then that ..please get to this place and support this couple and deli they are top notch . Try them out and enjoy the best veal in town by far
