The portions were huge and packed with real meat - corned beef, beef bacon, beef ribs, and sausages - all super satisfying. The subtle hot sauce was a great touch and added just the right kick. I also tried the mac and cheese and the cornbread was really good. We ordered both the classic and honey - garlic chicken wings, and honestly, they were amazing and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely worth it, I’d come back again!

Looking to try a new place in Scarborough. Location is in an old coffee time location in highland creek strip mall. Glad some new businesses are coming to an otherwise dead location. Store is small and has some seating although was crowded when I came. I ordered take out an was told 40 minute wait. I can and waited another 10 minutes for packing. This is a halal smokery. The smell when you walked in was amazing and noticed they were A Michelin star restaurant? I ordered a few items - brisket sandwhich, spicy pulled brisket sandwich, pulled beef macaroni cheese and piri piri chicken. The food was interesting. I drove a short drive home and even though the food was freshly packed it was already cold. Brisket was super tender lacked a little flavour. Havarti Sandwich had horseradish and pickles and was ok not my flavour preference. Needed a bit more taste. Spicy pulled brisket was extremely spicy liked the heat but still lacked flavour. Lots of meat in the sandwich. Mac and cheese was abit dry and had a floury taste. Bought the following sides spicy jalapeño corn. The spice profile was strong but lacked flavour - corn needed to be sweeter but was bland. Fries were soggy. Corn bread was ok tasted like corn muffin. Size was huge - I sort of liked it. Overall food was ok. I might choose a meat platter next time to taste the meat without toppings to see the real flavour. Personally I’m not sure it’s a Michelin star worthy but was nice. Meals are a bit expensive but realize meat is expensive too. I think it has potential but needs things to improve for me to truly love it.

It’ll be a big review — but please take it as constructive feedback and connect with the chef to fix it. The place has great potential, but a few issues could really harm the experience. First of all, the service was excellent. Both team members working during my visit were amazing — polite, attentive, and professional. They truly knew what they were doing, and I appreciated their effort. However, the food was below average. Honestly, I felt like I just paid for the meat. Even if I tried making it at home as a joke, I think it might have turned out better. Nothing had real flavor — everything was too bland. The BBQ sauce tasted like a regular store-bought one (very similar to HP BBQ sauce). The brisket was overcooked and not tender at all. The beef tri-tip was the worst — hard, chewy, and completely lacking in seasoning. It even had a gasoline-like aftertaste, which made me think the oven or grill wasn’t cleaned properly. The ribs were also overcooked and not soft. I didn’t even try the chicken — I just took it home, already too disappointed. For sides, I’d suggest skipping the jalapeño corn — it wasn’t worth it. Also, there were flies inside the restaurant, which made dining uncomfortable. I honestly don’t understand how this place received a Michelin Star 2024. I drove all the way from Oshawa after seeing that and had high expectations, but unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The two guys working there were fantastic, but if the food quality doesn’t improve, the restaurant’s reputation will suffer. Please, talk to your chef — this place has potential, but the food needs serious improvement. I’ve also attached photos for reference.

Been here a couple of times and have never been disappointed. Their platter for 1 contains a good medley of flavors this place had to offer. Its pretty reasonably priced and more than sufficient for a person. Love their pulled beef and the cornbread is a must have. If you're eating in, call up ahead to get your name in line and place your order so you don't have to wait almost an hour to get your food after coming in.

Drove one hour 20 minutes to this location, place was packed and almost an hour wait time. But once food arrived, It was Worth Every Penny and Calorie. Having lived in seven other countries, this is by far the best smoked meat i ever had. I ordered, meat platter 3 i think, it contained brisket, ribs, baby back ribs, tri tip steak, chicken quarter and chicken wings. When went second time, i only ordered Brisket and Dino ribs only. Ultra soft, incredibly seasoned and deliciously fatty… i understand eating it regularly is not an ideal thing but… as i said… Worth IT!!!!!!!
