The Backyard Smokehouse Toronto

Maybe the expectations were higher considering a 4 stars rating when we decided to try it. The food is barely average and has nothing to do with the southern smoked kitchen. It's not horrible, but far from expectations. Service is average, nice folks, but they were in a hurry, took off before we finished ordering.. For the menu price, it should be much better. Unfortunately, we will try somewhere else before I'm back here.

The meat was flavorful and well-prepared, but the overall cleanliness could use improvement. The tables and floors were quite greasy, and the toilets could be much cleaner. While I enjoyed the food, I’d consider visiting a different branch next time.

My fiancé wanted to try out the krabby patty meal here and so we decided to give this place a try. I am completely disappointed because of how long we had to wait for our burgers. I’ve been waiting for an hour now as I write this review. Servers never bother to come and update us on our food or at least bring us our starters. This is the worst dining experience I’ve had in a while. Not sure if I would come back tbh. The staff doesn’t even care about their customers. I understand if they’re short staffed but at least come update us instead of letting us sit here for an hour.

Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! We ordered beef back ribs, pulled beef sandwich, and their signature beef burger. The meat was really soft and tender. Mouthwatering is an understatement to describe their dishes. Staff were super friendly and received a generous tip. Restaurant looked small from the outside but spacious internally, wonderful atmosphere really. Overall, had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Had an amazing experience at the backyard smokehouse. I tried their brisket with mac n cheese and curly fries, nashville chicken wings and their mango strawberry drink( I don't exactly remember the name) it was the best! Never had mac n cheese so good at any other place. Chicken wings were really spicy and flavorful. The brisket had I really nice smokey taste it was cooked well. The only thing I would mention about the brisket is too dry so they should work on that. Also to mention their staff really polite n helpful Will visit again very soon ❤️

Food was better than expected after being nervous about previous reviews. Ordered the ribyard burger, pulled beef burger, brisket poutine, strawberry soda, and mango strawberry lemonade. Side of sweet potatoe fries was delicious and the poutine was a great shareable! Mango strawberry lemonade was by far the most delicious thing i tried, with the burgers being a bit lacking in seasoning..

My family and I are in awe. Literally some of the best halal food in the gta. Please get the brisket Mac and cheese. Everyone tried it at my table and we all agreed that was the best item. The chicken Mac and cheese is also 10/10. The pulled beef sandwich was amazing. The bun was so soft and buttery and the meat was so tender. I would go out of my way to come here again.

Had back ribs plate today. The meat was stale, dry and tasteless. It looks like they probably cooked it long time ago and just put it on heat for sometime before serving. The fat in the meat was too overwhelming for my palate. Mash potatoes on the side was average. Caeser salad was good. All in all, a very bad experience. Wouldn’t go back. The service and ambience on other hand was on nicer side.
