Um, AMAZING. The Smokin' Manhattan and Louisville to Libson cocktails are on point. If you love meat (obvi you do), get the pit, and if you're daring like me, get the Octopus a La Plancha. Superb!

Great space, great good! Wine list is a but pricey for what they have on there, but the food is the real star of the show! Spent my birthday dinner there- loved it!

The bacon brisket burger was absolutely fantastic. A must try, one of the best in Toronto. The cocktails were a bit disappointing, very unbalanced flavours. The food definitely wins out though.

Scallops and pork ribs are delish! Was expecting chicken skins to be tastier but still yummy. Looking forward to the Chef's Table that arrives in 2014.

This high ceiling, high energetic atmosphere will make you want to come back. For the ultimate BBQ sharing experience, try the Pit Master Platter which includes Ribs, beef brisket and fried chicken.

Excellent reservation system (and reso service) which sets you up in a beauty dining room. No TVs, fantastic tunes, great atmosphere. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken was perfection. #GoodEats

Amazing: the hot mess, the brisket, the chicken skins, the collard greens....even the salad. EVEN THE SALAD. Portions are smallish for a BBQ joint, which makes sampling flavours easy.

Amazing!! The duck tacos, the beet salad, and the octopus a la plancha are just perfect!

They have the best bartenders in the city. Make sure to try the seafood mongler platter!

If you want meat, go here plain and simple. Their ribs and cocktails are an amazing pair (particularly the smoked Old Fashioned)

The cauliflower appy, platter to share (chicken and ribs especially), and smores to end off the night.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was here! Really cool space too, Electric Circus used to be filmed here.

Ribs are excellent. The KFC (Cauliflower) was also outstanding. Service was excellent too.

Amazing sausage and ribs, unique cheese and ice cream desert. Don't forget the chicken skins to start!

Pretty pricey but the Korean fried cauliflower is one of the best vegetarian dishes I have ever tasted

Yes the ribs, but be sure to try the KFC (Korean Fried Cauliflower) too!

The BBQ Mac and cheese has hardly any meat on it, let alone flavour.

I ordered the Caesar. Cause that is what I do. Being the first item on the drink menu and bearing the restaurant name I expected the best. Instead it was bland and flavourless.
Serena ManeteOctober 15, 2016
Local bonito, moderno e animado. Cardápio de comidas é enxuto, porém o hambúrguer que comi estava delicioso, e as outras comidas que vi estavam muito bem apresentadas. Voltaria com certeza.
