Excellent place All halal menu. Delicious briskets and ribs. Slow cooked smoked meat. A Must try

No complaints. Food was tasty. Meat was not dried out, and sauces weren't too sweet. That adds up to a solid BBQ spot for me.

One of the best place for smoked meat in GTA. I loved every single dish that I tried here. The ribs were so delicious. All dishes are "Hand slaughtered halal" and I would love to come back here. I strongly suggest you to try this place with your family and friends.

I visited Northern Smokes in Scarborough, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was fantastic – everything had a delicious, smoky flavor that was clearly crafted with care. The meats were tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you’re a fan of BBQ and smoked dishes, Northern Smokes is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back for more!

The bbq here is fantastic. Meat is well cooked, seasoned and the ribs have a nice amount of char. Very tender and fall off the bone. Sides are not to be skipped. The patties here are very underrated, and the beef one comes spicy and flavourful. Cornbread was my favourite side and comes with a really addicting honey sauce.

Went to the Scarb location after seeing a friend come here on her IG stories. I liked that they had options to get individual meats and can add 1, 2 or 3 sides. (I thought I would have to buy a whole platter and there were only 2 of us.) We got the 4oz brisket and 1/2 lb short ribs with 2 sides each because all the sides looked so good! There were PLENTY of sides for 2 of us but we could have ordered more meat. The mac n cheese was my fav but the fresh cut fries were also great! The service was absolutely great, very friendly and checked on us a few times. The only 3 things I noticed could be approved on is they have Pepsi instead of Coke (BIG downfall for me)!!!! They could add some music or a TV, it was very quiet as it wasn't very busy on a Sat at 2pm and lastly, considering we are using our hands a lot, a sick outside of the 1 person washroom, would be useful. Otherwise, I can't wait to go back!

I had been eagerly anticipating a visit to Northern Smokes Meat for quite some time, and today, I finally had the pleasure of trying their smoked meats. I opted for a meat platter, and I must say, every single item was cooked to perfection in the smoker. Even though I'm typically not a huge fan of smoked chicken, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was incredibly flavorful and mouthwatering. The attention to detail in the smoking process truly shines through in the taste of the meats. I can't wait to come back and try more of their offerings. Highly recommended!

This is my first time visiting this store because I was craving meat. My friend recommended it to me, so I decided to try it out. The experience was amazing with a deliciously smokey taste. I tried the spicy pulled brisket sandwich 🥪, baby back ribs, Korean-style short ribs🍗, and brisket🥩. Everything was very tasty and delicious. Each dish became an instant favorite, and I highly recommend this store to every meat lover.🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍
