I miss the McRib!…read more I'm not a fan of poutine meaning I have not had one I absolutely wanted to have again. But dam, putting this smoked meat over poutine makes it the best ever! There is so much smokey, but not overpowering flavor, in the brisket I found myself eating this with the cold fries later in the day and it was still awesome. Eating cold fries is definitely not something I generally do or say but this smoked brisket was that great. Finally this portion was enough for a meal. Smoked and Smashed's rendition of the McRib sandwich is not spot on, it's better! Tender real pork rib meat, not processed molded, with the bones removed, thinly sliced pickles and fresh sliced onions layered on top with the most perfect tangy BBQ sauce. I wish I had brought back a few of these back with me to the states. These need to be available on GoldBelly! Get here as early as you can because the secret is definitely out and they are selling out before lunch service is done. I did overhear staff saying they are upping production, hopefully there is no degradation in quality. There is absolutely no room to sit inside but there are outdoor picnic tables nearby.

Wow the name of the restaurant really suits it. The Rib Sandwich had a strong smokey flavour and…read morethe meat was so tender! The smash burger was good too. We also had the Reuben and a Brisket poutine. The poutine and rib sandwich were our favourites. Was a little on the pricey side but quality was good. Lots of seating and cool vibes (love the Anthony Bourdain poster) with 90s hip hop music playing. We ordered on the self service machine and they called us to the counter to pick up the food when ready.

The honey garlic smoked wings were delicious! Fell off the bone as well and was very well sauced. The fries were crispy even with the sauce on top. 10/10 for value! The entire pack was about 20$ after taxes and I really can't complain about anything at all. They give you enough to fill your stomach up and have some food possibly to spare. 9/10 for customer service, the staff were really pleasant and was attending to our needs for extra sauces and anything we needed. 6/10 for space, I wished it was a tad more spacious. People who were sitting behind me was bumping my chair and the next table beside us was too close, but would definitely come back again!!

I haven't had the opportunity to come to this restaurant for 2 years...... I don't know how many…read moredozens of times I've eaten there over the years.... But I finally was able to get back and this time I brought my wife and my brother and his wife with me. The best part of the whole thing was getting reacquainted with my old friend Hank again. He's one of the nicest human beings you could ever hope to meet. The food........ Oh my God the food. We were stuffed. It is the best food anywhere . Nothing comes close to this. I have eaten barbecue all over North America. One of the advantages of being a trucker. And this is the best barbecue I have ever had anywhere. The prices are more than reasonable. The amount of food you get will leave you absolutely stuffed. And the staff is unbelievably nice and kind and gentle... The loveliest ladies you could ever hope to have to deal with. God bless you Hank. I will see you again 1 day my friend. Graham.

I used to go to Big Bone every Saturday with friends and family, and loved their wings, ribs, and…read morecornbread. In late 2023 they went under new ownership, and the quality of the food became terrible. My last order the cornbread tasted like dish soap, and the wings and ribs tasted like gasoline and were leather tough. I vowed to never go back. Fast forward today, and I (mistakenly) decided to give them another chance. Cornbread still tasted like soap, and the ribs tasted like a propane tank. Very sad that one of the best BBQ places has become overpriced and inedible .

La Parrilla is a small takeout restaurant that's big on flavours! The food is meticulously prepared…read moreto order fresh from the grill. What is the meaning of 'parrilla' you might ask? It's a traditional form of Argentinian barbecue on the open fire. I've tried Brazilian rodizio and Venezuelan arepas but that was near the extent of my Latin American foray so it was exciting to taste the cuisine at this hidden gem. The must-get menu item is their charcoal grilled chicken. It's sort of akin to Portuguese chicken but in comparison the meat here is more juicy and better seasoned. The half chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender with slightly smoky flavours, then even tossed in chimichurri sauce. Perhaps greasy yet each meaty bite is satisfying! Honourable mention also goes to their empanadas. A pretty sight: golden baked crust folds over the fresh beef filling, that might be even better by the dozen. And at their price point, I can see why guests generally agree La Parrilla is a 5-star visit. I ordered ahead and the food was ready for pickup upon arrival to avoid any wait. Owner Serge was friendly about offering an extra sauce on the side along with chimichurri tossed on the chicken. Definitely get that sauce, as it adds dimensions to the asado / grilled meat. It's not easy for family businesses to operate these days, so I applaud that La Parrilla charcoal churrasqueria continues to offer top notch food from this little plaza.

** BEWARE OF ORDERING FROM THIS PLACE **…read more This place is unbelievable. The food is good but the attitude of the owner makes it feel like he's doing you a favour for even being open. Orders are NEVER ready on time. Always add 30 minutes to their quoted time and be ready to deal with attitude when you inevitably ask how long it'll be until your food is ready. On their latest mishap, they took an UberEats order (which I was charged for) but when I called to follow up on when it's be ready I was told they weren't doing app orders...then why is your store online in the app? Avoid this place like the plague.

Dropped by during my recent Toronto trip - location was in a older building so the ventilation of…read morethe place wasn't the greatest - and it was a tad chilly inside. Service was very quick , and it wasn't very busy for a Friday lunch. - noise level was good, and you talk with ease. I know I should of had the KBBQ - but it seemed a little heavy for lunch, so we got lunch combos - I got the Spicy tofu soup - all the side dishes were delicious - The soup however, was for me not even close to spicy, and also temperature was closer to luke warm, when I cracked the egg in, it barely could cook the yolk. (not sure if that was the idea, but it threw me off a bit) The rice had some hard bits which was fine when you eat it with the soup, but still strange to have harden pieces of rice when it's fresh. Will probably re-visit for the BBQ.

Their chicken meat was fresh, no strange smell like what I had in the other Korean fried chicken…read moreshop. It was cooked juicy and tender inside and crispy outside. The red marble sauce was a bit spicy. The Fresh Chicken Gizzard was good too. The meat was fresh - none of that strange smell I've had at other fried chicken places. It was cooked perfectly - juicy and tender on the inside with the crispy batter on the outside. The Red Marble sauce had a nice kick to it, though a bit spicy. Also tried the Fried Chicken Gizzard and it was good. Service was very good. The staff was attentive and took their time explaining the different flavours. Their seating area is clean and convenient. Overall it's a solid spot for Korean fried chicken if you're in the area.

Located in the same buzzing Vaughan plaza filled with great food options, this Korean fried chicken…read morechain is quickly gaining popularity and for good reason. With new locations popping up across the city, this spot delivers crispy, flavour-packed chicken with a few fun twists that set it apart. We tried two flavours: Honey Brown and Snowing Cheese Honey Brown: saucy, sweet, and addictive. Think of it as a more elevated version of honey garlic with a deeper, richer flavour. Snowing Cheese: A drier option, but equally delicious, coated in a light cheesy powder that adds a savoury punch without being overpowering. A great option is to get the half & half, which lets you try both flavours in one order; perfect for indecisive eaters or sharing with friends. Each order also comes with pickled radish, a classic Korean fried chicken side that helps balance out the richness, and even includes pieces of tteokbokki (Korean rice cakes) mixed in with the chicken, which was a fun and satisfying surprise. While we didn't get to try their full range of sides or tteokbokki dishes, there were several tempting options on the menu that we'll definitely come back for. Service was friendly and welcoming, and to top it off, we even received a free reusable tote bag with our visit, a small but thoughtful gesture that added to the positive experience. Pro tip: If you're doing takeout, they offer online ordering which makes the process smooth and convenient. Parking is plentiful in the plaza, which is another bonus if you're driving. Overall, if you're in the area and craving crispy, flavourful Korean fried chicken, this spot is a solid pick. Great food, good vibes, and easy access; definitely recommend it!

It's amazing how they manage to keep the batter so thin and crisp, unlike Jollibee or Popeyes - I actually haven't gone back to the latter for over a year because of the E. coli concern. I like that they have great and consistent quality. The store looks clean. Service has been good too.
