Top 5 BBQ Places in Toronto

It’s summer time and nothing says summer like a good old BBQ. From high-end BBQ restaurants to whole in the wall grills, these are the best places to enjoy your meats charred and smoked in Toronto. These BBQ temples of meat are located all around Toronto yielding serious smoke-infused fare: dry, briskets ribboned with fat, bark encrusted ribs, and spoon torn pork shoulders… bring a bib and napkin because you will need one!

• Stack Restaurant: Voted the best ribs in North York in 2013, Stack prides itself on those and many of its other slow-cooked barbecue dishes. Southern-style barbecue located on Yonge Street, north of Lawrence, Stack is a glistening new beacon in a neighborhood already brimming with restaurants. Anchored by a glorious  1,200 pounds Southern Pride smoker, Stack’s ambitious two-storey dining room is a combination of diner meets smokehouse, in a modern upscale setting.
• Leslieville Pumps: This gas station themed barbecue is unlike any other barbecue place on this list, or most restaurants in the city. Leslieville Pumps is reminiscent of a Northern Ontario truck stop with faux Muskoka chairs linking the window outside under the old-tyme storefront. Cottage memorabilia decorates the walls which makes the experience feel like your somewhere in the south enjoying authentic barbecue.
• Electric Mud BBQ: Electric Mud managed to open without much fanfare – this despite the fact that the new venture comes courtesy of the pair behind what was arguably 2012 most hyped restaurant, the nearby Grand Electric. Conceptually speaking, this new offering doesn’t depart much from its predecessor: while the tacos have been replaced with Southern-inspired barbecue and the and the hip hop has given way to classic rock, the ample bourbon, volume on the stereo, lack of reservations and the generally hip vibe make it easy to determine the shared lineage of the two establishments.
• Lou Dawg’s Barbecue:  Lou Dawg’s has a curiously rustic menu that specializes in meat, other kinds of meat and more meat. A BBQ place that actually has a music scene, with many great performances to accompany your meal. This newish King West sandwich joint is not the place to take vegetarian friends or fancy people because it is one of Toronto’s carnivore-craze-mecca. Lou Dawg’s is only the second smoke house to open downtown that has a spacious and tavern-dark atmosphere with wood-plank panel and stone decoration.
• The Stockyards Barbecue:   Consistently named one of the best BBQ places in the city, The Stockyards is an unassuming new barbecue restaurant specializing in southern-style slow cooked meats that opened on St. Clair West, just west of Christie Street. The Stockyards is geared towards take-out as restricted space doesn’t allow for more than about ten people to be seated at a time. So go enjoy the divine smell of griddle busy with custom-made burgers and pitchers of both the home-made mint-infused limeade and tropical fruit punch to sample.
