    Best bbq in the city! Been going to Beach Hill throughout the years and I'm always impressed by the quality and tastiness of their meats. My favourite is the burnt ends, which has a sweet smoky taste to them. But other offerings are great too, from the really tender brisket, to the glistening pork belly, the creamy potato salad, and a peach cobbler that grandma would approve. If you're in the mood for a no-frills-all-thrills texas bbq, Beach Hill is then place to go.

    Came for some barbecue. With all the great reviews I have to see for myself what this place was all about. Walking in it was a little quiet and I wasn't sure if this was a sit-down or casual . found some guys working on an order. They were super helpful and help me make some choices. Having the brisket was really good. It was very soft and it had some great flavor. The barbecue sauce went very well with it and was not overly needed as the brisket had some good flavor. I also had some burnt ends which were excellent and I highly recommend it if you have the chance. I definitely would make note as one of the better spots in Toronto.

    Great place in the Upper Beaches. Very clean and spacious. Surprisingly wasnt super busy when we visited at 6pm on a Friday. Service was quick and friendly. And now the food.. THE FOOD! Delicious and tendre cuts of meat. We had the pork belly a d beef brisket with a side of mac n cheese and corn bread. So yummy!

    Place is going viral for moldy food. Please do not eat here. Terrible quality and the opposite of fresh.

    Would've never imagined eating Ribs in a vehicle, but desperate times call for desperate measures! Ordered some trays to use in my SUV, and Voila - Fine dining curb-side! If you don't live close enough to take it home, Beach Hill is not overly messy and can be eaten outside. Lots of street parking at the moment. It's nicely packed, and they have ample napkins inside. Everyone was following health guidelines and service was quick as usual. Definitely recommend the Mac n Cheese & Peach Cobbler. Yeah, it's a bbq place but I'm not a big meat eater. Not shown: 1/2 Chicken - it was HUGE...and delish

    Having heard good things about this place, we got their combo for takeout. Always looking for some good bbq in Toronto. Brisket: Amazing smoke flavor. I think I got a leaner cut. Still moist and delicious but would have been perfect with just a tad less dry. Still really good - 4.5/5. Pork ribs - love the monstrous size of these ribs. Has a good coating of spices/rub with a peppery kick. Not fall off the bone but still good. 4/5 Smoked turkey - this was a bit on the dry side but not bad for smoked turkey. Always tricky to get turkey breast moist. Not my favorite but that might be personal choice - 3/5. Sausage - good Smokey flavor, not overly salty. Has quite a peppery kick. I liked it but felt one note after a while with just pepper taking over. 3/5. Potato salad - creamy, chunks of potatoes and other veges. Can't complain - 4.5/5. Coleslaw - fresh, crisp veges. Also a surprising pepper kick to this as well. I liked it but not sure if the pepper is coleslaw is for all. 4/5. Baked beans - soft with a hint of sweetness. Goes well with all the meats. 3.5/5

    Brisket sw, split pea & ham soup, corn bread. Peach cobbler. Yum

    Heard so many good things about this place but just did not have a chance to visit. Then yesterday I was looking for something to do yesterday and found out they were celebrating two years anniversaries. Everything I tried was just solid gooood!! Complementary brisket sandwich for the first 100 customers- Brisket was solid but wished bun was warm or toasred. Split pea and ham soup($4) was perfect for rainy day in winter. Stuffeed jalapeno with brisket, saussage & cream cheese($4) was a flavour bomb!! Corn bread($3) was very very moist and was almost falling apart. Peach cobbler($4) was not your typical pretty cobbler but you should try it. . Dry Pork ribs were sold by LB ($12) and paid about $20. Loved that they did not smother ribs with bbq sauce. It was great as us with rubs. Ordered two saussages($10 ea) They were very tasty and could not stop eating even though my stomach already had no room to take., Potato salad($4) was ammaazzing!! Liked the idea they added kale !! Service was beyond friendly. That explained why they have so many regulars to come in to celebrate their birthday. Will certainly go back for smoked turkey and The Irish Texan.

    Hands down one of the best bbqs I ever had in my life even better than adamson bbq, a little pricey we got half a pound brisket and half a pound turkey with bbq sauce on the side, one negative the place was dirty there were a lot of flies so definitely they should work on their cleanliness, but let's start with the bbq, the brisket oh my god so tender and smoky, the meat just pulls apart perfectly cooked, I felt like I was in heaven, and the turkey juicy moist had a Smokey flavour but the prize money was the brisket, it just falls apart, one suggestion they should it by the pound cuz half a pound won't even fill up a toddler, but overall well done on the bbq they know what they're doing that's for sure, honestly it doesn't need bbq sauce but they give bbq sauce complimentary when you order

    This is a gem and an unexpected treat. The service was marvelous. When we saw this place, it seemed small. When we walked inside, there was amble space with a comfortable setting. We had a party of 7. They quickly accommodated us. We were presented with the menu and tried to decide on the best bbq options. This smokehouse was actually phenomenal. The waitresses were extremely polite and professional. Terria made sure we all had what we needed. She even told the owner how much she enjoyed our group that the chef and owner gave us a free Ribeye to show their appreciation. I ordered a indecisive sampler. It was created for me. I promise. 3 baby back ribs that would fall off the bone to the touch. The brisket was tasty but the sauce wasn't my favorite. The pulled pork was absolutely the best I've tasted. I ordered a slider bun to make it into a sandwich. The smoked sausage did not disappoint. The steak that was complementary was moist and tasty as well. If you visit Toronto, you need to stop here. This place is truly amazing.

    More than half pound of ribs (4 pieces), more than half pound of brisket, small size Cole slaw, beans and potato salad - $70 with tax.

    I lived in Houston for over 7 years through grad school and have had Texas bbq in midland, Austin, Dallas, Houston etc. I really wanted to find a good Texas bbq joint ever since coming home to toronto. I had really wanted to love this place. I have tried many restaurants in toronto and never seemed to find the taste I had down south. Anyways, so my standards are not that high. However, the experience I had was not fantastic. We visited Beach Hill Danforth location during lunchtime last Saturday. There were no other guests there. Pricy- for 2 people, we paid $70 for our lunch which was served in paper and take out containers. I understand that meat in toronto costs a lot but it's still a bit much. Would prefer having an option on the menu where a plate combo was served that comes with a meat and two sides. Bbq joints in Texas serve meat on a paper wrap for you to take home but lots of bbq joints do serve a glorious large plate that can feed a Texas sized appetite. Maybe a Texan size plate for $20-24 and a small plate for $16-20. Ribs- 1/2 pound gets you about 3 pieces of ribs- for $14.50, no sides, tasty, Smokey meat. Very peppery. Brisket- 1/2 pound comes to about 4 slices, no sides very moist, juicy meat, delicious! Sides- the small sides are quite generous for one person. Tastes very herby and interesting. Both meats need some bbq sauce on the side for dipping or it's a bit dry.

    So tender and juicy!

    I was entertaining a friend from Vancouver and we were looking for something different (for him) to try. Looking through Yelp, a five star BBQ place grabbed our attention. Hello! Beach Hill Smokehouse is located in the Upper Beach area, not somewhere known for a lot of restaurants, muchless good food. Walking in, there were a few picnic tables for dining and what looks like a bar still under construction. Walking towardss the back of the restaurant, through a narrow passageway, revealed more picnic tables, an open kitchen and the counter where orders are placed and picked up. There was a short line ahead of us, giving us time to look over the menu. Their meats are priced and sold by the half pound. They offer a few sandwiches, basic sides, and some desserts. The fellow ahead of us got a juicy looking beef rib so we had to have one too. It looked so good! We also ordered half a pound of pork ribs, half a chicken, a small potato salad, and a large coleslaw. Yes we were pigs. I don't know how much the beef rib weighed but the total bill was $66 with tax and tip. Everything was served on a tray, no plates, and only plastic utensils and lots of paper towels available. Rustic. Nothing wrong with that. The beef rib was the most distinctive thing on the tray, looking like a lump of black coal with a bone going through it. BBQ lovers know that as the bark (think tree bark) and all the goodness is just below it. No disappointment here. The meat was so tender and juicy with a nice smokey flavour. A plastic fork or fingers were just fine to pull it apart. Excellent! The pork ribs had just the right amount of resistance to come off the bone. Delicious! We should have ordered more. The chicken, although good, paled in comparison to the beef and pork. If you like chicken, order it. I'll stick with the beef and pork ribs. Their house BBQ sauce, neither sweet nor tangy, worked well with all the meats. That beef rib must have been bigger than we thought. I ended up taking home some of the beef and a quarter chicken. That's what you get when you order with your eyes. It was just as good a couple of days later. We learned a few things while waiting in line and ordering. This place has been open since January, 2018 and they're serving Central Texas style BBQ where it's mostly about the smoke. It's run by two Americans, one from Buffalo and the other from Texas, so I guess that makes it authentic. It's been a few days since my friend returned to Vancouver and he's been texting me every day about this food. Yes, it was that good. Try it.

I ended up being super impressed by the quality and tatse of the dishes! Some of our faves included the garlic marinated brisket and the rib-eye. Meat was good quality and there were lots of options for side dishes, such as sushi, chicken wings, or your more typical kimchi/beansprouts/spinach etc. It is BUSY, be prepared to wait. You can make a reservation with 6 people but you'll still wait a bit. Loud, but vibey! Servers were very attentice and super patient. Where improvement could be made, honestly, is upgrading to an ipad or some sort of ordering system. This would lighten the load on the servers and keep things a bit more organized-- we had a couple things we had to order a few times before they showed up.

They have a retro vibe, with decorations such as cassettes, records, spool film, old movie posters, etc. You can access their online menu via a QR Code or use a printed copy. There are four dishes that have a limited quantity per day. We ordered the following (check my menu photos for a description of the dishes): 1. Thai Milk Tea ($6.50). 2. "Do Not Disturb" Cocktail ($16.95). 3. Tum Kao Pod ($16.95). 4. Hoy Jor ($20.95). One of their signature dishes. 5. Chick N Chips ($14.95). 6. Lamb Si Klong with Sticky Rice ($34.95). One of their signature dishes. Their food is quite good and plated well, hence I considered it elevated dining, my words, not theirs. They even put some edible gold leaf on their signature dishes! I thought the taste was authentic. The downside is some items were too dry, like the chicken in the Chick N Fries and the Sticky Rice. The service is really good. Because there is limited seating, it is best to make a reservation. The tables are set up for 2 or 4 people. Reserving for 4+ people is a definite requirement since it may be hard to put adjacent tables together. Along with the retro vibe, some walls are illuminated by alternating neon colours. It makes for an "interesting" interior with changing colours. At least they don't affect the colours on your table much. This is a sister restaurant to Si Lom Thai Bistro, which is nearby. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms downstairs, thus they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street. There are high chairs for little children. Review 2024-237
