    6 rib dinner
    Kathy V.

    Classic southern bbq is what you'll find at pig out bbq. They've been serving it up since 2012. I shared the 6 rib dinner with a friend which came with a side (aka trimming), coleslaw, pickles and choice of dipping sauce. My side of choice was fries, can't go wrong with fries - they were crispy, a bit oily, made for good bbq eating. Coleslaw and pickles were standard - good but nothing stand out. Can't recall the dipping sauce but I appreciated that there was dipping sauce. The ribs are smoky but I can understand why they came with sauce because they aren't exactly lathered in any. Unlike saucier ribs I've had, these ribs feel a little drier so the sauce helps in that aspect. The meat was delicious and tender but I don't think this is my type of ribs - I guess I'm more of a saucy ribs girl. I would still recommend giving it a try if you'd prefer a smoky, drier rub!

    Fantastic BBQ! Fun little atmosphere with a great menu and really really good ribs! Corn bread was just a bit on the dry side but ok. Cole slaw was excellent! Loved this little place near the university!

    Ordered the Jr. Pig Out Platter (46.95) which included half rack of ribs, 1 lb wings, 8 oz beef brisket and we chose mac n cheese and sweet potato fries as the 2 'trimmings', the platter also comes with coleslaw. First off, it's a ton of food. Everything is super filling so it's definitely enough for 2-3 people depending on appetite. I really liked the brisket and ribs both were packed with flavor and tender. The wings were ok, I would've liked it to be tossed with more sauce. Mac n cheese and sweet potato fries were very very good. I'm a sucker for good BBQ and this place definitely satisfied my cravings. Highly recommend!

    I decided to try their bbq. I was hesitant being I am used to southern United States smoked bbq and Toronto is as far north as you can get from Texas. The meat was a bit dry. I can tell they don't leave their meat wrapped after being cooked. The brisket was cut with the grain which gives it more pull with your teeth vs. being cut against the grain and easy to pull apart. The ribs were average. Across-the-board their meat could use more flavor but it was a filling lunch. The mac and cheese was decent. It's not velveeta cheese sauce! Last but not least the staff are very friendly.

    Now I have a place to go for a delicious beef brisket sandwich! The beef brisket is very tender, can be a bit fatty, but just delicious. I also tried the wings and ribs. My recommendation would be the wings and beef brisket, the ribs isn't the fall off the bone type which I prefer. The wings however is juicy, and the flavor we got (it's garlic something) was really good. Don't let the exterior of the building fools you, the restaurant is renovated and spacious enough to fit quite a number of tables.

    The Pig Out Platter ($74.95)

    With finals coming up, why not relax by pigging out on some delicious food? Pig Out BBQ is a bbq smokehouse that is located in the heart of UofT, and has been opened since 2014 by owners Chris & John! They serve delicious platters that will definitely get you to pig out and feeling satisfied Honestly, a very nice place to visit for students! If you're looking to feast with friends, I recommend their Pig Out Platter which contains: Full Rack of Ribs, 2 Smoked Sausages, Pulled Pork, 1lb of Wings, Beef Brisket, Coleslaw and Pickles. Choice of 3 Large Trimmings (Corn Bread, Fries, Baked Beans, Mac n Cheese, Potato Salad, Salads, Nacho Fries, Poutine, and Pulled Pork Poutine) for $74.95 that can serve up to 4-5 people. Too much? Fear not, they also have their famous Piglet Platter that is just as delicious and filling. The piglet platter contains: 2 ribs, 4 wings and pork, choice of 1 trimming for $19.95. They offer 4 different sizes of platters depending on your needs :) I recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!!

    Pig Out is a fast casual restaurant that serves affordable southern style barbecue. This might be the best deal for barbecue in the Toronto core. Orders are placed at the front cash and the cashier delivers the food to your table if eating inside. I split the Jr. Pig out Platter with a friend. It consisted of Wings, Pork Ribs, Brisket (upgraded for a few bucks), Slaw and choice of two sides we went for Baked Beans and Mac and Cheese. The food came out rather fast as we only had a few sips of beers (unfortunately only basic bottled beers i.e. Coors, Molson etc.). Ribs were good but, not great. They were meaty and tender. I'd prefer the meat to be more moist. The brisket could have been served warmer. It was still tender with a decent amount of fat. It was good brisket but, could be more moist. The wings on the other hand were really good, meaty, non-breaded and the buffalo sauce was on point with a lil kick. The sides were also the highlights both the Beans and Mac and cheese were full of flavor. The Beans has a nice boozy punch! It was a very generous portion of food. I felt I had to waddle out of the restaurant clutching my leftovers in my hands. All in all, I recommend Pig out. There is definitely better barbecue in Toronto but for $42 the Jr. Platter is definitely the best bang for your buck/the best choice. You definitely get your money's worth (it fed 2 guys and there was leftovers) and allows you to sample all the classic barbecue meats.

It was extremely busy, with lots of servers and bus staff walking around, yet no one seemed to be taking care of our table. There were too many people involved, but no one was actually providing good service. We waited about 40 minutes for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was cold. I asked for it to be reheated. Five minutes later, the manager came over, apologized, and said the dish would be removed from our bill. After waiting another 10 minutes, the food came back at almost the same temperature. Overall, I was very disappointed with both the service and the food. Although this restaurant is popular and conveniently located near Yorkville, it didn't live up to the hype. The food felt more like fast food than a quality dining experience. There are plenty of other restaurants in the Yorkville area that offer much better food and service. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant.

    This was my second visit to this bistro, and as always, the food was enjoyable overall…read more This time, I opted for the $40 daily special, which consisted of: A salad as a starter (Excellent) For my main course, I had marinated salmon tartare with rice and other garnishes, which I thoroughly enjoyed except for the avocado, which I left on the side of my plate because, in my opinion, it had an unpleasant aftertaste. The atmosphere was a bit too noisy for my taste, possibly because I hadn't made a reservation and was seated near the bar. The table the hostess assigned me hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, and I made sure to point it out. She apologized and roughly mopped up the spilled liquid. Furthermore, instead of offering me a seat at the table she had indicated, the same hostess practically forced me to sit at the table with my back to the entrance (which I hate). Once she left, I immediately changed seats. Despite these minor inconveniences from the hostess, my waitress exhibited a higher level of professionalism, though she unfortunately lacked enthusiasm. It seemed like she was in a hurry to finish her shift. I don't know if I'll ever go back to this place, as I'm eager to explore other restaurants in downtown Toronto.
