Cherry Street Bar-B-Que is easily one of the best BBQ spots in Toronto. The smoked brisket was incredibly tender with a perfect smoke ring, and the ribs were juicy and full of flavor. You can tell the meats are slow-smoked properly the way real Texas barbecue should be. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and seriously impressive barbecue. If you're looking for authentic smoked brisket, ribs, and classic BBQ in Toronto, this place is absolutely worth visiting.

I’ve passed this spot countless times and decided to give it a shot today! It was a Thursday evening and got served INSANELY quickly. Ordered the sample platter (3 meats + 3 sides), and it was out within 10 minutes. Brisket, which they’re best known for, was decent - but unfortunately quite cold 😔. It tasted good, but if they had used a couple minutes so it felt piping hot, that would certainly have helped. The sausage was nice, I basically polished it off. The spare rib I got on a whim, but I’m so happy I did - it was by far my favourite. I got a double order of fries and the coleslaw. The slaw was average, and the fries were good too! I get the impression the fries come frozen, they didn’t have an “in-house” energy to them. Overall, it was a good portion for the price, staff were super warm and friendly, and it was a nice spot. Can’t say it’s the best BBQ I’ve ever had, but worth the trip if you’re in the area.

I tried the 3+3. The beef brisket is really good! The sausage is a bit salty but also tasty. The sparerib is a bit dry. For small dishes, I like the fries and the beet salad. They are tasty. The coke is also good and only costs 2.99 CAD. For its price point, I rate the food 4.5/5 stars. The atmosphere is really nice. It has the authentic feeling of a barbecue house. There is a bit line-up so expect to line for about 20mins.

This place has been around forever and I can see why, because they have unbelievable food/BBQ. Their brisket was to die for…huge outdoor patio. Super friendly service…a must try! 😊👍🏼

Had a great time, but it was crowded on a rainy Saturday mid-afternoon at 3pm so maybe make a reservation. We had the Pig-Out Platter between 2 adult men, and it was plenty! It was good but if I were to criticize, if say that the food is under seasoned and bland across the board, from the BBQ meats to the potato salad. Everything needed more salt, more richness, more spice. The brisket was the best, chicken wings were good and moist, but the roasted chicken was really dry. Pickles were a nice conlmplement as were the beans, but could've used a slice of wonder bread and a pat of butter to round out the BBQ roadhouse vibes.
