    Delicious BBQ brisket and fantastic drinks. The restaurant was comfortable and the staff was friendly.

    Lunch Special Menu

    Hank Daddy's BBQ has a very eye catching name to me, given that I'm a fellow Hank the Tank, Hankypanky or whatever. Please do NOT call me daddy though, unless you're actually my kid. I came here for the 1/2 priced meat Monday. Unfortunately when I visited, they ran out of ribs, so I ordered 1/2 pound of brisket, 1/2 pound of pulled pork and a side of Mac N'Cheese instead. Overall all the meat was smoked to perfection and they were quite delicious. However, I was hoping that they could warm up the food a bit more as they were served a bit too cool to my liking. The brisket was really great - I prefer them to be leaner though, something I'll make sure to order next time. The Mac n cheese was recommended to me, but I found it quite underwhelming. It didn't have any particular flavour and there was only a small pile of cheese melted on top. I'll try the corn bread and another side next time. Price-wise, I don't think it was quite reasonable. While that was a lot of meat and I was full after the meal, a plate that costs 30 dollars was still a bit much (especially given the fact this is after the discount of half price Monday). It seems that the options on their lunch menus & happy hours are more to my budget. Last but not the least, I really liked how many different bbq sauces they offered for your meal. I personally LOVE the hot hickory bbq sauce after trying them all. It was smoky, tangy and with a settle kick at the end - everything I want in a bbq sauce. You must get that when you visit!!!! The server was super friendly and the interior was clean, spacious and comfortable.

    My buddy was in the mood for barbecue and we decided to go big by sharing the Mr. Turner Platter. This one comes with St. Louis style ribs, beef brisket, sausages, and four large sides. What really made this visit stand out right from the start was how the server accommodated us with options. We got to try both sliced and chopped brisket, and even had a mix of the original and cheese sausages. Little touches like that always go a long way. For the sides, we had cornbread, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and fries. Each one played its part well without stealing the show, which is exactly what you want from barbecue sides. The meats were roasted just right, nothing dry or overdone, and the ribs especially had that perfect pull. What really puts this place a level above is their sauces and pickles. Normally I find myself wanting to drown barbecue in sauce, but here, the balance was already there. Every variety of sauce added something different, but none felt like it had to be there to make up for anything missing. You can enjoy it as-is or mix and match, and we found ourselves testing pairings just for the fun of it. Service was another high point. Our server was gentle, thorough, and seemed genuinely happy to help us enjoy our meal. The Kansas-themed interior had that warm and cozy feel too, not overdone, just right for kicking back and focusing on the food. Only regret? Our stomachs weren't big enough to try more. But no doubt we'll be back soon. This spot really hits all the notes when it comes to comfort, quality, and value.

    If you love BBQ, this is the place for you. They have ribs, chicken, brisket, rib tips, Mac and cheese... many delicious choices. The ribs were SO GOOD!!!! So tender and full of flavour. The nachos were divine, with the jalapeños and brisket. The brisket was tender and it added a really nice flavour to the nachos. I also appreciated the fact that the nachos remained crunchy and not soggy.

    I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this place. It was fantastic. The meat was perfectly cooked and the beans tasted fantastic. The service was great and I definitely would love to go back to this place.

    Smoked sausage: one plain the other spicy. Sides were Mac n Cheese and Baked Beans.

    This my 2nd review, 5 days later. I returned with my wife and son for dinner. We waited 1 hour for our dinner after ordering. We watched as tables seated after we arrived (with a reservation) be served their dinner. We were hungry! I told the waitress how long we had waited. They took 10% off the bill but our dinner out was spoiled. You know the food is good but not outstanding. You decide! Do you want to chance this for your dinner plans here?

    March 5/2023: This is a very cool BBQ restaurant in Woodbridge (Vaughan). Nicely decorated with BBQ themed style & classic new country music playing the background. The place was empty so we had great service from our server, Sidney. She was nice & polite. My food was the sliced beef brisket with sides of baked beans, corn bread & coleslaw. The beef was tasty & lean (ordered it lean) but just not much of the beef in terms of quantity. The beans were very good as was the corn bread. The slaw was a little dry, so not that great. What REALLY stood out the BBQ sauces. I tried 6 of em & without exception they were all delicious! This is definitely a do over. The loss of a star came from the fact that I left after spending $50.00 for lunch & I could have eaten again. Small portions & just not enough to fill me up!

    Beef brisket and a salad as the side so I'll can pretend I'm healthy :)

    Love this place. I can't believe it's taken me so long to write a review. It's just so good. I compare other barbecue places to this place. Location: It's located at keele and Highway 7, on the northeast corner. There's a fairly large building there on the keele side at the top. Also it's next to this seriously outrageous over the top furniture store that is a definite must visit just for the sheer amount of gold covered large items. It's like dinner then a show Parking: There's a lot of parking spaces. There's parking a plenty! Go ahead and drive your friends this place has very low parking stress. Get them to drive to high parking stress places. Decor: It's fun it's open there's a giant chalkboard that's the menu or you can go with the all you can eat, on all you can eat nights and just eat the menu! There's tables there's picnic tables they have outdoor seating. The washrooms are clean you order when you walk in at the counter you leave your name and then they call your name when it's busy or if you go there a lot and they know you they'll actually bring your food to your table for you because they're awesome like that! The Food: It's a Kansas city barbecue place. I didn't even know there was such a thing. The food is delicious I love the wings and the ribs. I also love the brisket sandwich. It's just so darn good. They have a lot of sides no more mashed potatoes which makes me sad, but they have fantastic coleslaw and really good cornbread. If you want to pretend like you're kind of a healthy person you can get a salad. The salads are always fresh and crisp which I really like cuz you wouldn't think they'd be doing a big salad business there Funny story- I brought my book club there and while we were sitting waiting for the food one of the ladies asked the people the table next to us what they thought of their food. It turned out it was a table of men from Kansas city who said the food was absolutely delicious and exactly like Kansas city barbecue. So it's accurate as well as fantastic! Also they're so nice one of the ladies was actually a vegan but didn't tell us, she was just going to get a pop and see if she could find something. She ended up getting a salad and instead of just giving her a side salad they filled an entire tray with the salad to make sure she had enough to eat. Which I thought was so nice of them That being said I go back a lot because I really like it I also would recommend the coconut cream pie it's very good

    Since Adamson BBQ closed their business, we were searching for good beef brisket. This place comes quite close. The briskets are tender, maybe a little dry but still delicious. Service is good, ambiance is nice.

    An excellent barbecue place! Has an assortment of delicious ribs, pulled pork, sausages and more! There is a variety of sides to choose from as well! I really loved the Mac and cheese (super cheesy) in particular. The fries were also very good. The cowboy fries were alright but a bit smaller than I imagined so thought it was a bit pricey. Also the Mac and cheese was a bit crunch so it might been a bit undercooked. regardless, I really enjoyed my meal and could see myself coming back if I'm in the area!

    Very delicious BBQ. They specialise in smoked BBQ I ordered the platter for two and three was great portions. The brisket was my fav I chose to get it sliced instead of chopped it was tender with juicy fats. Second was the ribs they were tender but not feel apart tender tasty. Then the pull pork and wings. Try the Nashville hot sauce if you enjoy tangy hot sauce.

    Brisket and sweet potato fries.  The good is to die for.  Still open!

    I can't say enough good things about Hank Daddy's. They have been a regular haunt for me for years. Delicious food that is consistent every time in its delivery. Today, I had the sliced brisket with sweet potato fries. I love variety, but I have the brisket every time I come. Moist, and flavourful brisket with a side of very crispy sweet potato fries. Perfect flavouring and the brisket is always just the way I like it. Another nice thing about Hank Daddy's is their ability to cater to people who have special dietary needs. If you are in a similar spot, just let them know and the food is done right every time. The staff are friendly. The place is always spotless. And I can even get an unsweetened tea with a smile. Rockin!

    This BBQ place is decent, but has a few rough edges. It gets 3.5 stars Got a half order of rib tips, which are leftover rib pieces which are recooked. They were pretty tasty & their BBQ sauce was pretty good, if generic. They were a bit tough because they had been cooked multiple times. Also got the 3 meat plate. It was great variety. Pulled pork was good - it had body & wasn't fully pulled. There was some fat which was nice. The sauce was pretty good too. Honey mustard wings were pretty good too - the sauce tasted mixed on-site rather than from a bottle - but the wings were a bit overcooked. The sliced brisket (fatty) wasn't that good; while tender, it wasn't that fatty & above all the flavour of the spices didn't really penetrate, so it was a bit underpowered. I would review the complimentary hickory sauce that was supposed to be served on the side too, but it was missing. Grr. The plate also came with 2 sides which were ok: slaw was crisp & tasted ok. Mac & Cheese was a bit undercooked: some bits were too firm; the cheese sauce was decent. The complimentary pickles & bun were ok; the bun was pretty soft & yellow inside but tasted normal. The cornbread was pretty good - rich, with a good corn taste & moist enough & quite a big piece.

The modern, chic decor sets a wonderful ambiance, and the service was immediate and welcoming. The food was spectacular from start to finish. We started with fresh, warm bread, followed by a flavorful seafood gumbo loaded with meat, and a generous portion of two lightly breaded crab cakes. For our mains, the 10oz ribeye and 8oz tenderloin were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection--compliments to the chef! They came with a lovely side of baby potatoes and vegetables. We capped off a perfect meal with a warm pecan tart and ice cream. I highly recommend coming here. We noticed they have a pizza oven and plan to add pizza to the menu soon; we already can't wait for our next visit to try it out! Ps parking wise, the restaurant is just off a residential neighborhood and parking is free. No need to pay for any parking, just remember to read signs.

There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6. Blackened Lamb Chops (weekly special). 7. New Orleans Fisherman's Plate ($39.95). 8. Pecan Pie warmed with Ice Cream ($14.95). 9. Bananas Foster ($14.95). 10. Beignet ($14.95). Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

Chicken was very juicy and super crunchy, collard needed some acidity, biscuit was light but a little overdone and gravy was not as fat a decadent than in the south, lighter but still tasty, wish they poured it a little more generously.
