50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Thornhill

“The prompt service, the food quality and tastiness all does not disappoint! The atmosphere reminds me of Korea which brings back good memories. We even had a specific request to bring us the noodles we ordered 15 minutes after the meat and they were so exact on time. We came for a birthday celebratory meal and service was beyond so we were very thankful! 10/10 recommend!“

“If you want to try an authentic Persian dish well made in Toronto I highly recommend Qatar.

One of their signature dishes “ dizi,” is incredible—filled with lamb, chickpeas, and potatoes in a rich broth. You get to mash bread yourself, which adds a fun, traditional touch.

The plate is severed with fresh sangak bread and pickles, herbs If you want to try authentic Persian flavors, Dizi is the place to go!“

“You order at the counter as soon as you walk in kinda like a cafeteria. They gave us some samples of brisket to try which was really good, tender and juicy. The only dessert is pecan pie. I don’t think they have any coffee or cider. They have beer and pop. Gonna try the ribs and wings next time but we were very happy with this offering.“

“This barbecue rice restaurant really surprised me! They not only provide traditional delicious barbecue rice, but also low-fat fitness meals specially prepared for fitness people, especially suitable for people like me who pay attention to healthy eating. The barbecue is tender and juicy, and paired with low-fat side dishes and low-oil cooking methods, it won't feel burdensome at all. The portion size is also very reasonable, meeting energy needs without feeling excessive. The service is also very considerate. When ordering, you can freely choose the ingredients and combinations to fully meet different dietary needs. Recommended to all friends who love food and want to eat healthily!

The above is written by chat gpt. This rice is a bit salty.“

“Great family dinner at Kobi! They’re doing a takeout menu during the current lockdown, too, if you want some Korean BBQ meat packages.“

“Amazing Chinese & Filipino inspired BBQ food creations♡ Signature Grilled Milkfish and Pork Belly Fries are very delicious!! Must order :)“

“Good taste with good service.“

“I really don't regret it. Of all the Korean restaurants I've been to, the food service and visuals were all the best!! I was impressed after taking a bite. I think I will have a fun trip thanks to Deokman :) May you prosper~!!

I especially recommend squid fried rice to those who like spicy food.!!“

“I had the Cowboys Grill Burger, and it was absolutely fantastic. The Angus beef was juicy and flavorful, the smoked bacon added the perfect crispy bite, and the brisket took it to another level with its rich, smoky taste. Topped with melted cheese, every bite was packed with bold, mouthwatering flavors. The portion was generous, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality.

The atmosphere was great, with a welcoming vibe that fits the name. Service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. If you’re a fan of a good, hearty burger, Cowboys Grill is definitely worth checking out!“

“Amazing food, service, price and atmosphere. what more to say“

“We had an amazing dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious.
What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service provided by Manan, our attendant. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed.“

“My husband and I had Kimchi Pancake which was very crispy! For the meats, we had boneless short rib, rib figer meat, pork belly and marinated pork shoulder. The marinated pork shoulder was sweet and savory. Other non-marinated meats were all fresh. Highly recommend boneless short rib. Attentive service throughout the night.“

“Excellent food and great prices.. Will be back“

“Friendly staff Good quality meats and seafoods“

“Great service, comfy atmosphere, delicious food! The only thing I'll mention is that the Rasta jerk sauce was a little too tangy for my palette, but the ribs and nachos were great! Local businesses like this area what make communities special!“

“The BEST...VERY BEST brisket...ever! The owner, and his family are super friendly, and very helpful. Highly recommended.“

“We came because you have good reviews. We found out that Gyu Hito is an amazing go-to-place for delicious Japanese AYCE BBQ! The restaurant has a modern feel to it and the staff is incredibly attentive to our food needs. Such good service! The food itself is so tasty (so many different types of seasoned meats) and there are many yummy sides you can order as well! The most thing I like is the fruit tea, best combination with BBQ. Dessert is also something to look forward to because you can choose your favourite Melona popsicle and have it with a sweet creme brule dessert!“

“I tried their sandos(sandwiches) and loved it. Very delicious and satisfying. Only downside is that it keeps you wanting more.. and hence more calories… be mindful and enjoy!

Dietary restrictions: Halal

Kid-friendliness: A very limited space to sit and enjoy the meal. From what it looks like, there’s going to be a little struggle in the restaurant with kids.

Free parking available outside“

“It was the first time I went to this restaurant and I tasted the authentic Northeastern pot-roasted pork. It had a familiar taste that I had never tasted in Toronto. Malatang too. The service is also very good. I guess it’s hard to taste this kind of food in Toronto. It feels like returning to my hometown. I will definitely come back next time!

Parking: There are enough parking spaces

Kid-friendliness: Serves non-spicy meat skewers“

“We got the Texas trinity (for two) along with a pulled pork sandwich and it was phenomenal. Super tender and juicy brisket and I was blown away by how good the ribs were too! Potato salad and honey drizzled corn bread were our sides and it was an amazing lunch all around. Definitely going back!“

“The BBQ here was very good, gotten the pulled pork sandwich combo, however they did sauce up the pork just a little too much and that made the sandwich really sweet.

The service felt like a home restaurant, it felt like i’ve been to the place before despite its the first time i’ve been there

The place had also a home touch to it and felt relatively cozy inside“

“Hongming BBQ’s new barbecue set meal for four people at $79.99 is delicious and cost-effective! ! This restaurant not only has delicious Northeastern barbecue, but also has authentic pot-wrapped pork and Northeastern cold noodles. I order it every time I come here‼ ️And 50% grilled fish! 20 per capita“

“Yum ?
I love spicy food but not in love with chili oil. But their dish was spicy yet yummy. I read a few reviews that mentioned that it's too spicy. If you enjoy Korean food or malatang, malashangua, you won't find it spicy. It was actually perfect for me. Most of the dishes are spicy, so check if you're with kids. Despite this, I did find some dishes that aren't spicy.
Price was great, and service ? I do wish to come back. Hope they keep all good as it is now.“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

“Chat Bar is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxed evening out. The drink menu is fantastic, offering a wide variety of creative cocktails and local beers. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great experience from start to finish. I loved the laid-back vibe and the delicious small bites that pair perfectly with the drinks. Whether you're looking for a fun night out or a chill spot to unwind, Chat Bar is definitely the place to be. Highly recommend“

“Great price and quality of the meats. Got 2 meats & 2 drinks, and with tip came out to about $30/person. I highly recommend capitalizing off of the banchan, it’s unlimited and free, and makes the whole experience worth it. Definitely one of my staple k bbq spots.“

“I dined in with my boyfriend and friend on Saturday ($45.99/per person) evening around 9:30pm and was notified the kitchen will close at 10:30pm. We would have about 1h to eat as we were really hungry walking in and pretty full after. This is my third time dining at this restaurant location and the beef on the all day menu is my favourite! They only accept cash or debit!“

“I ordered tteokbokki, chicken, and odeng soup, and everything on the menu was delicious! I especially liked the chicken because it had a lot of seasoning and was delicious! There was a lot of food, so I shared it with my friends and it was enough.“

“It has great food and the people are extremely nice. The chicken is delicious and the potatoes are to die for.“

“have a lovely experience with this restaurant. We suppose to be eating at gyubee however we are unable to book a reservation on time. and we try the chako, the service 100% satisfyinfg. accomodate us from the time we sat on the table. replenish the meat and condiments and ask for time to time if we needed something. Worth the money and experience I might say. must a try for anyone looking for bbq grill and were looking forward to be back again. thanks!“

“I will recommend great restaurant“

“Micheal and assume his wife run this family joint. They treat everyone like family. Ordered 4 chicken salad and souvlaki dinners and what a good job on food. The picture of the water is symbol of their heart. I forgot to ask for water for the kids and they give the kid a bottle and say don’t worry about it. Michael saw my kids and he brought them two bag of fries while we waited for our food.

This is not a one off act of kindness, a young guy was about to leave and they packed up some soup for him to try.

DON’T go expecting free stuff you cheapskate!!! Go because they are good folks producing quality food and it shows.

TIP well!!!“

“Just noticed the place a month ago, visited it after that, there is no ready made food…always fresh and hot…loved the BBQ Chicken Combo half fries and salad… so many flavors to choose from.. highly recommend… food and budget wise??“

“This is my new go to Daldongnae location! I’ve been to the Mississauga location many many times (it’s amazing) and I thought I will give the Elgin Mills location a try since I moved to Richmond Hill and this is the closest location to me now. I asked if I could get a table with two grills for 5 people as it was my parents’ first time trying Kbbq. They honoured my request and gave me a very spacious table which I truly appreciate. The food was very good and the staff were so kind and friendly! I’ve been to the 6034 Yonge St location once and they overcharged us and the place was too hot but Elgin Mills location was amazing. Definitely recommend!“

“good food neat and clean“

“Some of them are quite unique. The cold noodles are really good. The mutton skewers feel like fried skewers and really taste bad. The hand-pulled ribs are good and taste good! The chicken rack sauce buns have a strong taste, sour sauce, a very strange feeling! Is the cold dish or something okay? Won't come again!

Parking: I feel like there aren't many parking spaces. I went there in the afternoon and it was okay.“

“We have tried many Chinese BBQ places in the GTA. This small take out place is great, with excellent BBQ pork (less fat than other places, which we appreciate). Prices are a bit little higher but worth it. No wonder there are line ups. We added a side order of ginger green onion sauce for $5, very tasty! The 2 ladies behind the counter today are lovely. They take great care to prepare all orders, thank you! Will be back to try BBQ duck, roast pork and curry chicken. We don’t live in the area, but worth the drive to Richmond Hill ♥️?♥️??“

“Nothing but awesome things to say! We placed a very large order and Ricardo was very easy to work with. The food was so delicious, everyone loved it! We also got our food delivered all the way to Cambridge. It arrived on time and piping hot! We will be contacting you in September to cater our family reunion event! Thank you St. Matthews BBQ team for your hard work catering our event“

“Great BBQ at the best prices in GTA!
Seasoning is always spot on (not too bland and not too salty).
Service is always friendly and kind.

The only problem is the long line ups. Sometimes it's a 20-30min wait. But I guess that's what happens when you make great food and are popular amongst the locals! Been buying BBQ from here for 15+ years :)“

“Shamir (Sorry if I spelt that wrong) is the BEST. Prepares the food to perfection and is always super warm, kind, and welcoming. This man has a great heart 🙏🏼.

The food is great too! My new go-to spot in Scarborough when I’m treating myself to something nice.

The BBQ beef with rice/fries/salad is insane.“

“The food is 10/10, you will not get a better bang for your buck than yummy bbq. For those of you who want Korean bbq with an a la carte preference and superior flavour yummy is where it’s at!

Also for those below who have issues with the man working at the front in the reviews below, I have gotten to know him more every time I come to yummys, he’s just old school tough but he’s actually a very sweet kind man, don’t be intimidated by his demeanour, get to know him and he’ll be apart of the experience you go to yummys for 🤣“

“food was delicious! staff was courteous. looking forward to eating there again. will also be getting a quote for a catering event as well!!“

“Had to get a full BBQ roasted duck last minute. Found them on Google and called the owner. His name is Joe. Very nice guy. I bought a duck just before he closed at 7pm. Good quality and good tasting duck! My senior parents enjoyed it and they are very picky. Will return to buy more! Thanks Joe!“

“Not all portugese grills are the same _ Firstly when you walk into this establishment you notice how clean it is _ no matter what time you walk in _ its spotless unlike some other restaurants where the first thing that hits you is the uncleanness _ Lavrador's Bbq open kitchen is huge and the place has been there for a long time _ but the massive overhead exhaust systems grills and ovens are extremely clean and new looking _ always shiny _ hot table as well (which contains and displays some of the tastiest food ive had if not the tastiest) always fresh and kept at proper temperatures _ next thing you see is Linda the owner coming out from the back walking towards you with a smile if she is not already serving another customer _ always friendly _ never a long face _ even though she might be exhausted near the end of a long day from all the cooking cleaning and serving (not to mention the heat) she is very professional and does most of it herself _ not to take anything away from her helper _ also the variety of food should be noted _ she has the main dishes every day Like the chicken _ potatoes _ rice _ fish which is all extremely tasty but she also throws in some other dishes that you will find on certain days like chineese style stir fry rice and lasagna _ stew with potatoes peas and pork_ fava beans,roast beef roast pork cod fish stew,cod fish and potato pie if that's your thing _ and where else can you get a huge turkey drum stick and feel like a king _ also her home made corn bread is amazing_ and for what you get in regards to quality of service_ quality of atmosphere and quality of most importantly the food the prices are unbeleivable _ I havent tried all of the dishes yet but I plan to _ im on my way there now

Vegetarian options: Always healthy veggies to enjoy there“

“This place is a restaurant that beautifully captures the traditional atmosphere of Korea. The ambiance is not too noisy, making it perfect for enjoying dinner and conversation. Every dish was delicious, with the quality of the meat being particularly outstanding. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.“

“It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming. The staff, Tommy , who is very polite and warm welcome customers. Great place for friends gathering and chatting. Definitely will go again.“

“Great good with great value“

“Used to live much closer to this location when they just opened up, and it was my first time trying BBQ Chicken... Fell in love instantly and probably ordered 2-3x per week like obsessed! they currently have Tuesday BOGO wings (dine-in only) so you should definitely consider going :-)

ps: please bring back red chak chak flavour if there's a chance <3 thank you thank you“

“Second time getting food from here.
The owner is a wonderful and welcoming person. 10/10 an amazing guy!
Got jollof rice, suya and beef jerky and completely loved it all, especially the jollof.
Hadn’t had egusi soup in a while so it was wonderful to buy the frozen bowl and eat at home.
All in all, price, taste, customer service was great.
Will definitely go again!!!“

“One of my family members said this is the best place for Portuguese food in Toronto. We were hungry so we thought we would give it a try. We phoned through our order and went and collected it and once it was home we tucked in. The food was EXCELLENT! There was plenty to go round and for us all. Highly Recommended!“
