Pulled Pork Poutine
Angela G.

I've finally found it! The tastiest BBQ in the east end. I'm all about really good BBQ with great ingredients and Pig Out delivers! The Pulled Pork sandwich has to be one of my favourites! The Pulled Pork is succulent & has tons of flavour! You can also choose Smokey, sweet or spicy BBQ sauce on top. I wish the Coleslaw was house made, but not everyone is perfect. The Mac & Cheese also needs more cheese. The pulled pork poutine is fabulous! I was so impressed. Crispy Fries, Excellent Gravy, Tons and tons of Pulled Pork. I also really enjoyed their onion rings. Lastly the Boneless Rib sandwich was Bombtastic, the sauce was great, there wasn't a lot of fat. I was thoroughly impressed! I will definitely be back to try more BBQ. Keep Eating, Angela

The onion rings are pretty good too.

I've been here many times and have always enjoyed the food, whether it's been the ribs, chicken, wings, brisket, pulled pork, or whatever special they've offered. It's been all good but I have to mention the Pig Out Burger. It's quite possibly my all-time favourite burger. It starts with an 8 ounce beef patty and gets topped with a slice of beef brisket and an onion ring. Yummm!!! Ask for lots of napkins. If a burger isn't your thing, try the pulled pork or the ribs or the wings. I like to mix the sweet and the spicy BBQ sauces. Nice combination. The atmosphere is cozy and they have a collection of pig figurines that could be conversation starters.

Half of a Pig Out Platter

Put on those stretchy pants, you're going to need them. Pig Out BBQ does not hold back. Four of us went there for my Mom's birthday. We seated ourselves and began scouring the menu for meals. The décor was simple and tasteful. We were told to go hungry, very very hungry. Upon reading the meaty menu, we decided to share the Pig Out Platter; it said it serves 4. 4 what I don't know, because there was no way we were finishing it. This platter had almost every type of meat they serve! It arrived on 2 large platters; we ended up moving to a table that seats 6 to fit all the food. Everything on the platter had a delicious smoky flavour that our server said they smoke all of their meat in-house. All of the meat was so tender, you barely had to chew. This was not a bad thing because by the end, you were so full, chewing was a chore. The ribs were fantastic; tangy and smoky. The brisket could only be moved to your plate with a spoon. It was so tender, it literally melted in your mouth. The pulled pork came in a pile topped with sauteed onions(OMFG) and BBQ sauce. This was probably my favourite meat on the platter. The chicken wings were good, but I'd never had smoked wings before. It was ok. The summer sausage was also fantastically smoked. I stuck with the pork....there may have been some growling, but I did share.... The platter came with coleslaw, pickles and 3 sides which turned into 4. We ordered baked beans, sweet potato fries and poutine, but they forgot the poutine and brought fries, so they brought a poutine as well. SO MUCH FOOD. The stars of the many sides were the sweet potato fries and the baked beans. The baked beans were sweet and cooked perfectly. These were the best sweet potato fries I'd ever eaten. We had to wrestle them from my boyfriend. Needless to say, neither of them ended up in the doggy bag. This BBQ joint has an easy going atmosphere with great service and melt in your mouth food to match! If you're out in Pickering, stop into Pig Out BBQ. You will be back for more!

Daily specials (note pickle is no longer included)
Mark S.

Not bad at all, and judging by the fact that there were 3 employees and one patron (me), I'd say the place needs a yelp-rescue (a yelpcue? Or since its BBQ a yelpcueque?) On my visit, the debit machine was down and I was low on cash, so I wasn't able to sample as much of the menu as I would have liked, but the pulled pork sandwich was a-ok. The place looks simultaneously rustic and modern, open concept and clean. Today they had a $3.95 deal on the pork sandwich, but the pickle and coleslaw are no longer included (now costs another $1), so you really only save $1 over regular prices. Despite the deal, I was the only customer at 12:30pm, so I'm worried for this place - hope it catches on. Ps: there are other weekday lunch specials - see photo.

Coldslaw and potato salad
Louise A.

No way i am going to rate this restaurant any less than 5 stars. Spacious, stroller friendly, welcoming staff, awesome grill smell once you step in the restaurant. We couldn't decide what to eat so we ordered a platter. Three trimmings: onion rings, potato salad, macncheese It comes with coldslaw Meat platter: ribs, briskets, pulled pork, smoked sausages and wings Their homemade macncheese is phenomenal, a must have item. Onion rings are chubby and crispy. A bit disappointed in the potato salad because i think it is lack of flavor. Their coldslaw!!! Perfect balanced of sweet and sour. Crunchy veggies and no watery at the bottom. I always skip the coldslaw from other restaurant even thou it is free, but i would pay for coldslaw in here. Ribs are juicy and tender. Brisket melts in the mouth. And pulled pork is nicely done. Smoked sausages are full of flavour (Starting to run out of words lol) chicken wings are crispy outside and still juicy inside, which is hard to come by. (But i dont really like the garlic and parmesan flavor i choose, maybe the flavor is just not strong enough to stand out in the platter) Anyway we come to the conclusion that we dont need to wait for ribfest anymore lol

This is not my first time trying food from this place and I do enjoy getting their poutine when I'm in the area. I came during the day on a weekday and it wasn't busy, with only one table occupied. I ordered a pulled pork poutine to go and the service was quick and cashier was really friendly. He let me know that it would not take more than five minutes for the order to be ready. I opted for a sweet sauce, although you have the option to get it spicy instead. The portion size was a pretty good amount, which you could share for two people if you wanted to. Overall, both times I went I had a good experience at this place and would come back to try other things on the menu.

Pig Out Burger
Karen K.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by the very friendly cashier. I ordered the Pulled Pork Poutine, Beef Brisket sandwich, and Pig Out Burger. The Pulled Pork Poutine and Beef Brisket sandwich are given the options of choosing smokey, spicy, or sweet bbq sauce. I chose smokey for the poutine and spicy for the sandwich. My brother really enjoyed the spicy bbq sauce on the sandwich. The smokey sauce was decent, I enjoyed the spicy sauce more. The poutine can really fill you up. The Pig Out burger was a bit too heavy for me, there was just too much happening. I completely forgot to ask for the complimentary coleslaw/pickles. It would've been nice if the cashier could have offered or reminded me. We waited 15 minutes for our food. The plating of the food doesn't look too appealing, but the food is actually good. I spent around $34 on my visit here. Overall, friendly staff and decent food. I would come here again if I'm ever in the area!

Burger combo

Ordered on Uber Eats. Tiniest burger ever. Was not stated anywhere that it was a small burger. Small portion of fries too. As you can see from the pictures I've uploaded with this the fries and burgers were mashed together in a bag. It honestly looked gross and unappealing. But wait, it gets worse, I took a bite of my burger and some parts were RAW. Literally the grossest thing ever. They're suppose to be smash burgers, which btw almost never come out a little raw. They're thin Pattie's so literally how can it be raw inside. It was $22.95 for one burger btw!! Just for a tiny burger with barely any fries.

Pig Out Platter $69.95 Full rack ribs, 1/2 lb pulled pork, 1/2 lb beef brisket, 1 lb wings, 2 smoked sausages, along with 3 large sides

Just like rib feast, needs extra BBQ sauce thou. Homemade Mac n cheese was good. Cornbread is abit dry

Dave O.

I just took out 2 rib dinners, one with bbq and the other honey garlic. I must say these were the tastiest ribs I have had for a long time. I tried them in the first week and they were good but now they are great. Even the onion rings were above most others. Thanks for the warm welcome and great service as well. If you have not tried Pig out do yourself a favour and try them

Sampler of ribs, wings, and pulled pork.
Ray B.

The yelp rating at the time of my writing this review was 3.5 stars which is just about right and what I would have given if I could have given a half star. I stopped in for an early supper and decided to try the sampler platter with ribs, wings, and pulled pork. I had the Mac and cheese for a side and corn bread as well. I quite enjoyed the ribs and wings but wasn't too enthused with the pulled pork as it was overly cooked and sauced. The Mac and cheese was also not to my liking as it looked and tasted like it was made with powdered cheese. The corn bread although not too bad would have been nicer if it was served hot. All in all not a bad meal but nothing to get too excited about.

I went with my family for Mother's Day and let me tell you this place was absolutely great! The staff was welcoming and very nice. Seating was spacious. The food was absolutely yummy! We tried the banquet burger, dirty burger, jr. piglet (comes with ribs, chicken wings, beef brisket) and hot dog w/ fries. Everything was amazing. The only thing I really didn't like was the fries, but you can opt to the Mac and cheese. That was the best Mac and cheese I tried in my life! Overall I will definitely go back to try something else on their menu!

Platter of meat - brisket, ribs, wings with 3 sides
Chris And Kris S.

Hubby and wifey tried this place out on a whim with a bunch of friends. Nothing special, but was not quite disappointing either. Hence, the 3-star rating. Best bet was the platter that will pretty much give you a taste of most offered in the menu. Wifey and hubby shared a platter that comes with wings, ribs, and brisket with three sides. Don't get your hopes up with the "smoked" ribs though because wifey was disappointed with the lack of smokiness to the meat. Brisket was a little chewy. Wings were surprisingly good. Sides were mediocre. Overall, okay place to try on a last-minute impulse. Unfortunately, wifey and hubby had better home-cooked bbqs.

Not even in the top 20 Bbq joints. EXTREMELY dry poor quality meat. Must have cooked it several days in advance.

Horn Dawgs does a brisk take out business, and I can understand why…read more We ordered the Puppy Dawg Meal and got an amazing quantity of food. 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!?

Fantastic bbq. Best in the city!…read more Wife surprised me with this for my pre-birthday. Didn't know it was Michelin recommended and I understand why. This place tastes amazing. Angus beef brisket was perfect Texas bbq. Juicy, great flavour, perfect flop Short rib is the best beef rib in the city. Juicy, unctuous, meaty. Amazing. Honey garlic wings had excellent smoke. Fantastic. Mac and cheese was delicious and cheesy. Best I've had in toronto. Maple smoked beans were ok. I wouldn't order again though. Poutine has a great gravy that had a nice depth of flavour. One of my favourite poutines. Tri tip had chimichurri on it which was a nice touch. Tougher of meat is not my preference but still had great flavour and smoke. Beef ribs were decent. But short rib better. Of note is that all the beef items are seasoned differently so you can order it all and have different flavours. One thing to know is the place is a bit of a dive. It's not pretty, but boy is it delicious. It does come off a little less clean than it could be. Cashier guy was friendly, but a bit slow. Not a big deal though.

All the meats were very tender and delicious, with a nice smoky flavour that was just right. The brisket was outstanding - so tender. The short ribs were perfectly cooked and the chicken was very flavourful. The corn and beans held up their end - the perfect side dishes.

Their delicious KamJaTang Jeongol, aka Korean Pork Bone Soup, and their BBQ Pork Chops, are perfect for warming you up. Dining with my aunt and uncle, we had the large version of the soup, served in a big pot on a burner at the table. It was loaded with lots of meat, potatoes, vegetables, and tons of flavour.

We ordered our usual: har gow, siu mai, cheung fun, turnip cake, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, and steamed BBQ pork bao. We also got some of their more unique items like their recommended BBQ pork buns (they look like mini pineapple buns), deep fried milk curd, and deep fried shrimp salad rolls. Overall, I found that their deep fried items and BBQ pork buns were pretty good, but their siu mai and cheung fun weren't up to par. Although this spot isn't a top pick for dim sum for me, I'd still keep coming back for their Chinese BBQ and for the convenience of parking & location.
