The slaw and chutney were my favourite toppings. Portions are also big and very filling. They also have poutine, roti, sandwiches, and Caribbean drinks.

I went for the ackee & saltfish dinner with dumplings, Rice&Peas with Callaloo, and a large serving of chicken soup (soup of the day). Overall the food was enjoyable, a tad oily on the rice&peas and the ackee&saltfish portion, but the food was tasty and quite enjoyable (though I lowkey wished it was spicier). I really like the dumplings, it reminds me of the donut sticks you'd get when eating congee, except these dumplings are dense and delicious. It's a solid place, it definitely merits repeat visits!

I usually visit Baklava King a few shops down from Jerk BBQ Haven in the same plaza. During my last…read morevisit I picked up one of their lunch lunch specials. I went for my usual go-to Jamaican food which is jerk chicken, rice and coleslaw. The serving was pretty good for a lunch portion and the price was around $7-8. The Food: Meh. Not good, not bad. The chicken was flavourful but the rice (usually my favourite part) was wayyyy too dry. Even with the oxtail gravy the rice was not enjoyable. My favourite was the coleslaw. I've never had coleslaw with raisins in it but it was delicious! Would I return? Probably not. Well, maybe for the coleslaw. Besides that, my quest for the perfect jerk chicken and rice and peas continues.

Tried this place on a whim, just had a craving for jerk chicken and didn't want to drive for it, this was the first thing that popped up, and I remember seeing this from driving by it "all the time" The first time I had this ordered to my place, the food's scent absolutely permeated once we got the items out of the bag, the flavors were even better. this food brought me back to my childhood and all of the summer bbq's growing up with friends from multiple islands. One time I came in here in person, to grab some food, and the service was top notch, but ordering in person had a bit more options which lead to me looking like an idiot ordering the same thing I did through skip. The hot sauce is absolutely perfect as well, please bottle this and sell it Seperately. There's next to no sitting area here, and with this tight plaza of 11 business' you would be best to grab the food and go. I have no photos, even though I say the phone eats first, once the smell hits my nose, it's game over. no photos, no witness'(lol) Absolutely one of my favorite spots now for food, slowly climbing into my personal top 10 in Toronto, please don't change anything with the food, everything is perfect.

Chicken place: well there's truth in a store name. Yelp wants to know if I recommend this place:…read moreuh...yeah! It's basically a fusion of near-east (Lebanese perhaps) and Canadian food. They have rotisserie chicken and chicken skewers that can be served with a choice of two sides. I think there were at least a dozen choices for sides. Whether it's the sides or the main course (the chicken) the staff told me they are very passionate about fresh food. They're even passionate about fresh oil for the fries, which are also fresh-cut. The fries were indeed terrific and I enjoyed dipping them in the tzaziki sauce I asked for. Since I was new, the exceptionally friendly staff allowed to to try a couple samples of other sides, such as the tomato and avocado salad and the roasted cauliflower. And my second proper side was a fresh salad with a house-made vinaigrette. I also ordered the lentil soup which I loved. And I went with the skewers for my chicken. My wife was also there and she went with the rotisserie chicken which she said was exceptional. The prices are really good too. They're also known for their sandwiches which are pressed, so maybe I'll give that a shot when I'm next in the area. I'm a bit sad I'm not often in this area, but it may be for the best - as I'd probably find myself here too much.

I had the all time favourite Chicken Place Sandwich - crispy bread filled with chicken, mayo and pickles. The size of the sandwich is pretty big ( like a 12 in sub), it's pretty filling when you eat with their fresh cut fries. We also had the Fresh Greek Salad and BBQ quarter Chicken with Rice. Everything is made with fresh ingredients. The owner Mike is very nice and friendly. He will make sure you are happy with the food.

The warm Pita was delicious clearly made with quality ingredients while the hummus and Ful were delightful accompaniments to the fresh warm Pita.

Looked like people were mostly getting takeout. My friend got the brisket and I got the wings. I was kind of surprised by their brisket as it came all pulled, rather than as slices. Not what I'd expect at a bbq place. It was hard to tell if the meat was well made as everything was drowned in sauce. It was tender though. The wings were a little overdone, and the bone-in ones only had the option of bbq sauce. I'd have loved some dry rub choices too. Tasty but nothing special. Overall, it's an okay lunch option for the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get bbq from here.

This place disappointed. I saw the 4 star ratings and thought this place should be decent, but…read morenope. The food is bland. Ordered bbq pulled chicken and chicken breast sandwich. Chicken breast has no seasoning at all just mayo. Fries have zero salt. Their bbq sauce is not what I would call a bbq sauce. Tastes more like tomato sauce. If you like typical sweet bbq sauce, you will not like it. Overall I'm surprised by the positive reviews given the blend food and "bbq" sauce. I won't be back. If you're looking for good portion for cost, then this is your place. If you like flavor, this place is a pass.

Jenna, who took my order, was friendly and professional, efficient, but willing to give her time and opinion to help me decide on the order. Now that's good service. This was my first time here, and it is great to have some quality BBQ so close by in Pickering. Main event: The Ribs. These ribs are amazing. I had them sauced with the terrific house sauce (sauce so good that I bought a jarful - Jenna told me that they just made it this morning!). The ribs are tender, but have a nice tug and chew so that you know it's meat (as opposed to the fall-off-the-bone, melt in your mouth kind that make you feel like you are eating stewed meat - kind of like what happens when I make ribs for my family). The sauce complimented the meat well, enhancing the flavour while allowing the porky rib quality to shine through. I can't say enough about them. The chicken was as close to perfect as I have had. On its own, some might call it under spiced, but you can add that yourself. Personally, I like it just as Horn Dawgs makes it: a simple, very crispy, savoury coating with moist chicken inside. The white meat was really juicy and tasty! Pulled pork was great. Some nice, crispy, lightly charred bits to give some contrast to the moist pork meat. We have quite a bit left over, because everyone was all over the ribs and the chicken. My advice about the pork: ask for your sauces (of course I recommend the house sauce) on the side, so that, if you have left-overs, the sauce doesn't make them soggy. Just sauce each portion to your preference, just after preparing the portion. Our sides also lived up to the expectations set by the mains; smooth, creamy mashed potato, sweet and savoury cornbread; really stand-out baked beans, with a sweet but smoky flavour; fries that actually tasted like potatoes! To top it off, excellent service, easy parking and (for me) a convenient location. It is somewhat hidden behind a Thai food restaurant. It is just east of the Pickering Go station. Great Service and great food! If you are in the Pickering area and craving some BBQ, skip the big chain restaurants (abundant in Pickering) and head on over to Horn Dawgs! Support a local business and have some top notch food all at the same time! Righteous, and tasty! All they need to do is adopt a pup, feature his story, and then, Romeo, I will be your Juliet! P.S. A week or two later, I made some ribs myself and sauced them with the jar of sauce that i bought at Horn Dawgs. Perfect! I can see why this sauce has won awards.

This place was on my radar in my quest for good poutine that is locally available. After checking…read moreseveral reviews online, I decided to check this place out. (Take out) Impressions: all the positive reviews may be about the volume and price than delicacy. We ordered: # Crispy buffalo chicken sandwich (side: onion rings) $13: The chicken was supposed to be crispy, but it was not. Yes, it was take-out so that may be the factor. However, the chicken was drenched with sauce... the focus was volume (with onion rings) and sauce, rather than the texture. # Single dawg (Side: beans) $26.50: Came with 1/4 pound Beef Brisket and 1/4 pound pulled pork, drizzled with HD bbq sauce. And 3 bone St. Louis Ribs. Again, huge volume for the price. Abundant French fries. But the brisket texture was mediocre. Pulled pork was tender, but beef brisket and ribs were crunchy at the edges and inside was a bit dry. It came with 2 slider buns, regular small buns which were grocery store level. # Poutine (large, $9): Huge, but nothing special otherwise. The gravy did not taste natural, but good enough. As good as fast food chain. The fries are homestyle. I did not try their wings which are their most popular items with variety of flavors. May be I want to try them. Who does not like wing deals on a lazy relaxing Friday night!?
