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!“

“Holy Smoke BBQ is an absolute gem for BBQ lovers!
• Quality: The slow-smoked meats are perfection, with the brisket melting in your mouth. Each bite is smoky, tender, and flavourful.
• Service: Friendly staff that make you feel right at home.
• Variety: Their BBQ sauces and sides, especially the mac and cheese and cornbread, add a fantastic touch.

Highly recommend for a delicious, satisfying BBQ experience!“

“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!“

“Great value for money! It tastes great! !

Outstanding food with short waiting time! Second time for sure!

The tofu in the side dishes is awesome! Comrades, remember to order it!
Tofu from side-dish is sooooooo good! Please order!“

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

“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.!!“

“We took my uncle visiting toronto for the first time to have authentic karahi for dinner to Karahi boys .And he said that Charsi Karahi was the authentic taste he had in Pakistan. Super yummy food.
Mañan our server was very friendly and welcoming and made sure to get us the exact requested order. Thanks for an amazing experience.

Parking: Lots of free parking“

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

“Very good food. Welcoming homely service. Cozy little spot. Very flavorful and tasty. Fall of the bone ribs and tender juicy brisket. Highly recommend and will be back when I'm in the area.

Parking: Limited number of spots but easy and next to the building“

“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“

“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!“

“Great good with great value“

“I absolutely LOVE Benny’s BBQ but I guess we need some fact checking here ?

It’s absolutely one of the best BBQ spots of Toronto. Delish?In terms of the food quality, I don’t think anyone would question this restaurant. Seriously! I’ve never seen anyone sitting with leftovers. BUT is the atmosphere cozy and inviting? Mmmm I think you guys should stop writing your reviews with ChatGPT because it’s not warm, cozy and inviting and honestly I think there is a lot of room for improvement there. At the end of the day, it’s a BBQ place no one is expecting velvet cushions and white ironed table cloths but it could be a little nicer and organized. It’s giving like they’re getting ready to shut down when you first step in. ?

Anyway, go there for delicious brisket and mac&cheese… the rest is story.“

“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“

“I recommend their Guobao Pork. It can be said to be the top one in my heart. The mutton skewers are large and you can tell that they are purely charcoal grilled. Compared with other deep-fried ones, it has an extra aroma of mutton. Their prices are also very affordable. I recommend everyone to try it.“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

“Daldongne is so good~!! This is a place where you can taste authentic Korean food, and is loved by both local residents and those who are trying Korean food for the first time. The food is overall clean and feels like home-cooked food, so you can enjoy it without pressure. The prices are reasonable, so you can visit without burden. This is a great place to visit when you miss the traditional taste of Korea or want to experience new food.“

“We came in an unexpectedly big group last minute and the staff here was very nice and and offered fast service. We ordered about 250 skewers with plenty of other dishes and the food came out fast and delicious, the 5-spice seasoning dominant on each piece. They were also nice enough to help us pack everything home.“

“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.“

“Visited early evening on a Friday so was easily able to obtain a table. I went for the chicken skewers and the pork belly. Both were good, the pork belly a bit like thick bacon, yet, I had no complaints as the prices were very reasonable. There is a good choice on the menu and I was served quickly. The staff were friendly and efficient. The restaurant accepts cash or debit cards. The decor was interesting and the facilities were well maintained.“

“Big Bone BBQ catered our wedding with approximately 90 guests. Nick and his team had great communication throughout the planning process and arrived right on time on the day of. We recieved a lot of feedback from our guests about how great the food was. The service was amazing and all of our guests were served in a timely manner. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Big Bone BBQ for catering and would book with them again in a heartbeat. They provided amazing service and food at a great price.“

“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!“

“Food was amazing! 10/10 for all the options they had! The service was a little slow so I recommend just ordering a good amount of food in between seeing your server cause once they walk away from your table you won’t be seeing them for a while.“

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

“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??“

“I just tried it for the first time on my lunch break. The souvlaki sandwich was so large and contained a lot of chicken. The tzatziki and veggies were fresh and tasty as well. Definitely a good spot for lunch but located in an industrial area.“

“I will recommend great restaurant“

“good food neat and clean“

“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!“

“Food’s good. First time trying the shrimp menboshu dusted with cheesling powder - I like it. The chicken and fries are good and is what I expected. The server, Zelda, is on top of things and very nice. The music they play here are bangers.“

“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 ♥️?♥️??“

Each skewer ranges from $6 to $9 and there are usually at least 4 skewers, generally, most have about 6-8 skewers. On average, it's just over $1.25 per skewer.

B2 羊肉串 (6pc) 6.95 Lean Lamb
B8 麻椒肥牛 (6pcs) 6.95 Beef with Pepper of Sichuan - very good. Would recommend.
S1 炸蘑菇 Deep Fried Mushroom 7.95

Flavors are decent overall. Flavorful. Smoky and a bit spicy. Though you can ask to make it more spicy or just get it on the side.
Good amount of parking.
Good value. Not overly priced.“

“You know the place is legit when the bad reviews are only about service attitude. As a regular customer of various Korean restaurants, I can confidently say that this is one of the best in town. The generous portion, the home style cooking, and the unbeatable price will make you return often. Yes the grandpa may seem a bit blunt during the first encounter, but once you get to know him, you will realize that he’s actually a good guy who just doesn’t like to take BS. If you stop by, make sure you get the Yummy Special, and you will thank me later.“

“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“

“The food tastes great, the service is also very good, and the environment and music are very comfortable.

My only comment: I went a few times and there were oily spots in the cup after the water was poured. Hope the improvements will make the experience more perfect. Everything else is fine.“

“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“

“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.“

“The Scarborough location was amazing! The food is decently priced and the location is great! I have been here a few times before and I have never been disappointed. This time I brought my parents and I asked them about accommodations for my dad. They said that they would be as accommodating as possible. They did not disappoint this time either. They helped my dad into and out of the booth and they took the wheelchair away and brought it back at the end. They really did a lot and were super helpful! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“It’s a great option for a date night. Live music, great cocktails and good food“

“Best rice in a box for the value you can get. With generous portions. Any combination of two meats with rice or even up to 3 meats. Nice side of veggies, and soup to pair with your order. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something cheap and to fill you up. Just a heads up there always to be a line up and cash is the only form of payment accepted here. There are two atms in the mall if you don’t have any cash on 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!!!“

“Ordered through Uber and despite the long wait for preparation, the Smoked BBQ Beef over rice and BBQ Chicken over rice were absolutely worth it! Both dishes were incredibly delicious, with generous portions that left me completely satisfied. Would definitely recommend!“

“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“

“Easy to work with and killer results! From consulting to the finished product they were so professional and helped my event go off without a hitch. Highly recommended for all events!“
