    If you're craving some Texas style bbq in Toronto, cherry street bbq is the spot for you! First, let's start with the amazing service courtesy of Annie! She was literally the best! We were a group of 11 and we made reservations weeks in advance and Annie and her team really took great care of us! With such a large group (and it was pretty busy), we had many asks from drinks to sauces and everything in between and she catered our every need with a huge smile! The food was excellent! The brisket and the ribs were so tender! Literally just melted once it hit your tongue. The pulled pork was also very vinegary which I loved and not overly saucy! The sides were all delicious but my all time favorite was their Mac and cheese! It had me craving for more the next day! It was so creamy and every pasta was well coated!

    Delicious BBQ! Everything was so good. Particularly the Baby Back Ribs which were meaty but still fall-of-the-bone tender. The sauce was also amazingly glazed over the ribs. Briskets were tender as well. The Smoked Chicken Wings were also a hit. Super tender and seasoned. Their sides were good except the coleslaw which was more of a pickled salad rather than creamy coleslaw. Would recommend the Sweet Potato Mash and the Mac & Cheese in particular.

    Cozy place that can get crowded during weekends or during peak hours. We went in the almost good time around 6 pm. Bbq chicken sandwich and baby back ribs were tasting.

    We visited on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. The food came out hot and fresh. We got 2 lbs of smoked wings with 2 sides. The wings were good though they were more fried than smoked. The mac and cheese could've been a bit more Cheesy but it was still good and the fries were crispy. The cornbread that we added was a bit overpriced as you have to get a loaf vs just a piece and was just okay.

    We tried the riblets and Smoked sausage but dipped into a bunch of sides including Sweet Potato mash, beet salad, mini cornbread muffins, cucumber salad and mac and cheese. The riblets were great by they forgot our sauce on the side which was a bummer. The Sausage was a bit of a miss for us. Not super flavourful and just overly salty. The Mac and Cheese was great. Cavatappi pasta with just the right amount of cheese sauce. I can totally understand where they sell this queso sauce separately,it was tasty. The cucumber salad was okay, sauce was too runny, so it really needed a punch of herbs ..the pepitas were nice though. Beet salad was great and the mash was good too. Beans with Brisket was flavourful, a mild kick and brown sugar forward. If I could just rate the sides I'd probably give them a 4. Atmosphere was fun and staff super friendly

    A michelin famous bbq spot - it was great, but maybe a little more hyped than it should be. The brisket was obviously the star and it just melts in your mouth which is amazing. It was a shame that they didn't have beef brisket burnt ends, and all their other sides were mediocre. They didn't even offer us sauce until we asked, and the service was pretty underwhelming but to be fair they were rammed busy. Maybe I'd try it again if I was in the area but it wasn't worth a special trip to me.

    Their baby back ribs were amazing!! Could be a little more saucy but thankfully they gave us a bottle to dip on the side

    Came here for team lunch and I see the 3 Michelin Guide badges on their wall. Yeap. Need to come here. Lol! So we came and glad we made it before the lunch rush. Food came shortly and man the brisket is soft and juicy! Service was alright and music lively.

    3.5 stars. We did take out for 7 people and each of us got the 3+3 platter. Navigating the menu was difficult. Really wished they mention how much of each thing was given in a platter. The 3+3 sampler if you chose these same items would give: 1 rib 2 chicken wings 3 slices of brisket 1 sausage 1 palm size pulled pork and 2 mini corn bread. We couldn't figure out the portions looking through pictures and comparing other platters. Their house barbecue sauce was tastey. corn bread was soft. The sides make it so you're pretty full with the portion. The sides were fair, coleslaw wasn't that great. I feel it's a better experience to dine-in when food is hot, the take out experience for the price wasn't worth it. Love the bbq sauce, would recommend the ribs and wings.

    Brisket, ribs, chicken wings, etc. to share

    My, oh my, is this place delicious! The brisket, ribs, chicken wings, sweet potato, mac and cheese and other sides were phenomenal! There are not many tables, so we purposely arrived in the middle of the afternoon, when the weather outside was frightful, so that we could snag a place to sit. Service was very prompt and friendly. You order at the cash, and they bring your order to your table. Texas BBQ in TO! Yeehaw!

    Tried Cherry Street Barbecue for the first time and as someone who's never had Texas BBQ before, I was pleasantly surprised. The brisket and cornbread were the standout favourites for me flavourful and tender. The mac and cheese and ribs were solid too (wish there was more bbq sauce) My boyfriend loved all the proteins, so it definitely hit the spot for him. Service was great, but the seating/setup is a bit unusual since it's self-serve and you order at the front, which was a little confusing for a first visit. Overall, a tasty experience, maybe not something I'd rush back for but definitely worth trying at least once.

    I've been wanting to try Cherry Street BBQ for the better part of 5 years. I've been dancing around it but I never found the perfect opportunity to try it... until last Saturday. When I finally got the chance, let me tell you - I was NOT disappointed. Is it the best BBQ I've ever had? No. But the food was excellent and the vibes were IMMACULATE. I tried the Cherry Street Sampler for 4. The portions are very generous. We had to ask for to-go boxes, and this is something that I NEVER do. The brisket was very fatty and the chicken wings were crispy and super flavourful. More than anything, it's the sides that surprised me. The broccoli salad, corn elote, and coleslaw all cut through the heavy, fatty foods and complimented the main dishes perfectly. The pork ribs were a tad dry, and that's the only negative thing I could possibly say about Cherry Street. I would recommend that you go on a nice day. The patio is huge with tons of seating, and there's a bar right outside to ensure expedient delivery of alcoholic beverages. When I went, there was even a live band playing a medley of blues, soul, R&B, and indie rock. It was an incredible experience, and one that I wish to have again before the end of summer. I would wholly recommend Cherry Street BBQ!

    I haven't had much texas bbq, but this place is good. Brisket was good and juicy. Really liked the pork riblets and mac n cheese. Would definitely come back. Service was fast. The place is small. Men's washroom had a funky smell though.

    I came here a couple days ago after a Chinatown festival around 10 PM, it was pretty busy. We had…read moreto wait about 10 minutes to be seated. They gave us the table directly in front of the counter where the cashier stays, so I requested a different table which we then had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes for. This is not at all a complaint as it was requested. The service was good but most of the servers didn't really speak English, which I guess is to be expected in Chinatown. I don't have any complaints about that. The food took about 10-15 minutes once ordered. We ordered the Grilled Squid, Grilled Oysters, Beef Ribs, Chicken Thigh Skewers, Bean Curd Rolls w/ Cilantro, Grilled Eggplant and Cauliflower. Pretty much everything was over flavoured and lots of MSG. The beef ribs were quite good. Not the best I've had but good. The chicken skewers were fine. The oysters tasted pretty decent but I only had a couple bites of one because I'm not a huge fan of oysters. The bean curd rolls were fine but they could have been better if they took the time to put just cilantro leaves in there not the whole stems, which made them take forever to chew. The grilled eggplant was good only because I love eggplant, there was waaay too much seasoning for the thin piece of eggplant. The cauliflower was my favourite but again, the seasoning should be toned down. The Grilled Squid we both took one bite of and could immediately tell it was either not fresh or not good quality so we didn't eat it. They removed it from the bill as requested which we appreciated. They had free self serve slushies which was a cute touch. Overall the staff and service was good but the food was below average, which was disappointing given the restaurant's rating.

I liked the seasoning that they use and everything was very flavorful. I do wish the clam dish had more clams but instead it had a lot of vermicelli noodles inside. The food was a bit too oily, I know that bbq places tend to be on the oilier side but even the fried rice had a lot of oil. The enoki mushroom were very dry and not worth the price so wouldn't recommend that. The interior was really nice and giving street food in China vibes. The staff was pretty kind being us water refills and checking in.

There's no reservation system but they do have a waitlist on Yelp which gets you in line (highly recommended). First to know is you can't pay with credit card here--there's an ATM in the front of the restaurant. As far as the restaurant goes, it was fantastic from start to finish. Our table of 4 was seated and serviced by 1 main staff member, Lydia, who talked us through the whole menu and ordering system, recommended some great starts and then kept us frequently updated all throughout dinner. She checked up on us along with her assistants who were also bringing items and servicing the table. The food quality was excellent with juicy and flavorful cuts of beef along with the shrimp, pork, veggies, side dishes/ponchon, and rice--it kept coming consistently. Grill changes were frequent as well. The atmosphere is lively and there are a lot of servers so you aren't trying get someone's attention all the time. But it doesn't feel too cramped at the same time. As it is AYCE, everyone in our group left full of course and enjoyed each course. I liked the almond tofu at the end! ----TL;DR---- Pros: great selection of meats, quality was top notch, huge portions of course as it is AYCE, service was prompt and all staff were really friendly. Cons: no reservations so need to be on a waitlist. The no credit card system is a bit of an inconvenience. Bottom Line: we loved it--definitely would go back again and enjoy more of their selections! You have to try them if you like meat and AYCE!

We walked into a lively, casual space that works especially well for groups, celebrations, or any meal where you want to take your time and enjoy the experience. The energy in the room is high, with the sound of grilling and conversation filling the space, and the table setup encourages a longer, more relaxed pace than a typical restaurant meal. The biggest highlight is the meat selection. The quality is consistently strong, with different cuts and marinades that give each plate its own flavor. The miso steak is one of the standout items, with a really good balance of savory, slightly sweet, and rich flavors. The marinated meats are where Gyubee really shines, coming seasoned well and developing a great char from grilling at the table. We worked through a range of options including kalbi, hanger steak, and sausage, mixing and matching as we went. The fun part is being able to control the cooking yourself, whether you prefer a lighter sear or a deeper grilled flavor, and the grill setup makes it easy to cook at your own pace. The sides and extras are also better than what we usually expect from an all you can eat BBQ spot. The sushi was surprisingly enjoyable, with smaller portions that made it easy to try different rolls without filling up too quickly. The bibimbap is another good addition, especially when paired with the grilled meats. Takoyaki and other sides helped break up the meal and added variety beyond just ordering meat after meat. The spread is broad enough that you can build a well rounded meal without feeling like you are stuck in a single category. Service was a strong part of the experience. Even with the restaurant being busy, the staff were attentive and checked in regularly to make sure we had what we needed. They kept the table moving, helped with ordering, and made the process feel smooth despite the constant flow of guests. The wait can be the biggest challenge, especially during dinner hours, but the service once seated helped make up for it. The staff also handled the high turnover of tables well, keeping the pace steady without making us feel rushed. Gyubee is one of those places where the experience is just as important as the food. The combination of grilling at the table, quality meats, good sides, and a fun group atmosphere makes it a great choice for a longer meal with friends or family. It is worth planning ahead for the wait because the meal itself delivers the kind of relaxed, interactive dining experience that makes you want to come back. The format encourages you to slow down, cook at your own pace, and enjoy the meal as a shared activity rather than just a quick dinner.

Instead, I waited over an hour with no update. When I finally called the restaurant to check on the order, I was casually told that it had been cancelled because they ran out of food. The problem is that no one bothered to notify me. No message in the app, no call -- nothing. I was simply left waiting for over an hour for an order they apparently already knew they couldn't fulfill. What made it worse was the attitude on the phone. The person I spoke with was rude and dismissive, with no apology or attempt to make the situation right. Now I'm told the refund could take up to 10 business days to return to my credit card. Running out of food happens. Ignoring a $200+ order for over an hour on a Friday night and then being rude to the customer is unacceptable. Plenty of better BBQ options in the city -- I won't be ordering from here again.
