Another gem which we discovered today in the east end of the city….The meat was so well cooked that it was falling-off the bone 🍖 Their rice is delicious and their seasoned fries were on a different level 👌🏻 You should definitely try this place ❤️ Their staff are great and the service was excellent. Overall I highly recommend this spot!

I tried this new restaurant out with my friend on August 29, 2024. Coming in, nice decorative atmosphere. Felt like I was in a rodeo bar with some Mexican influence. The staff was SO FRIENDLY!!!! Smiles, they asked us questions, they were so attentive to us and I felt relaxed and was treated like a valued customer. We both ordered the Cowboy Sandwich for $15 with a $2 Mac 'N Cheese side. Delicious and TOTALLY SMOKEY! I don't remember when I had this much smokey flavour and it was a good thing. I loved it. I saw from the rest of the patrons that they got the burgers and dressed fries which I wanna try next time. When cashing out, I spoke to the mother and son and they were SO NICE. Geez, this hospitality and food makes me wanna go back. I gotta try the rest of the menu. I will be back, folks! Amazing job treating your customers with kindness and patience with yummy food!

Chain Smoker in Scarborough is a must-visit for meat lovers, offering a halal menu and vibrant decor. I tried the Cowboy sandwich with pulled brisket, and it was packed with flavor. The huge platter included cheesy fries, tender beef back ribs, melt-in-your-mouth brisket, grilled and jerk chicken, and wings with a choice of tasty sauces—everything was delicious!

The BBQ was actually really good. Beef Back Ribs is super tender fall off bone & quarter chicken was also extremely juice and fall off bone. Rice ia very flavorful. Mac n cheese not bad. Staff is extremely nice. Seating area is very clean and bright. Food is a lil pricey but understandable with rising food costs.

I always come back for the ribs and burgers here! I’ve had lots of ribs over the years and this spot is my fave. They’re juicy, tender and fall right off the bone. The sauce is really good and def a good balance of sweet with salt and spice. The double patty burger is filling and has good flavour. The wings are crispy and have a good amount of flavour as well, I get them without any sauce and enjoy the flavour of the coating on its own. Highly recommend this spot! And the best part so that it’s all halal 😬.

We were casually driving by and decided to try this place. We got the cheese burger, fried chicken sandwich, dun'up fries, and mac and cheese. The burger was really good, the chicken sandwich was seasoned very well. And the fries were amazing! The mac and cheese could use a bit more seasoning. Overall, great experience and staff were amazing.

The BBQ back ribs were very tender and delicious. I would definitely recommend and get this again. However, the short ribs were a little dry and needed additional BBQ sauce for flavor. The food is on the pricier side, and my family and I are still undecided whether it's worth the price. But if you are in the mood to splurge, I'd say give it a try. The restaurant is small, only a few tables and service was decent, kind of inconsistent. I'd recommend providing larger cups for water. They also charged for any additional tiny containers of sauce, which is slightly annoying, considering their menu prices are already high. Otherwise, the overall experience is 2.7/5 stars. 😂😊

The food here is simply delicious, earning a solid 10/10 for taste. Each dish is expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We ordered their Brisket, Ribs, Grilled Chicken and Brisket Cheese Fries. The portions were large and the food was cooked to perfection! Their interior is clean and inviting. Plenty of seating to enjoy a great dinner with family or friends! From the moment we were seated to the final farewell, the team went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Will definitely be back again!
