    Nice friendly staff but food subpar. Much better BBQ places in the City for taste at comparable prices. The advantage here is there is lots of seating.

    Excellent food (wings were outstanding among numerous standouts on the pit master platter) huge portions, fantastic friendly service, felt welcomed walking in the door. Laidback atmosphere with very tasty BBQ. Highly recommended.

    First time trying the place. Wasn’t sure about seating arrangement when arrived. Tried the platter, amazing! Appreciated staff recommendation on eating the beef brisket first so it wouldn’t get cold. Had stroller so lower level restaurant that wasn’t accessible was only drawback.

    Great selection of beers! Pretty quiet for a Tuesday night, but the BBQ was good. Curry potato salad with dill, and good Carolina mustard sauce. Easy dining with kids or for an adults night out.

    The protein samples were tasty but dry. Everything needs some kind of sauce.

    First and foremost, food dominates my review and purpose to going anywhere. Earl’s is amazing! Had the Meat Tornado (I’m sorry, maybe it should be called the Meatnado) which is basically a big meat sampler of ribs, brisket, pulled pork and wings. Took a couple days to finish it all and I’m no slacker! Been to a couple Triple D places and Earl’s in on par! Patio is a great strip on the side of the building with afternoon/evening sun. A tad warm inside and could use a freshening up of decor, but that’s really a remedial comment next to the whole purpose of going to a smokehouse... The Meat!! Service was amazing, everyone truly believes in the product and why they’re in business, and they all really want to make sure you walk away with the best experience you can have. That by itself is a huge reason to go back to any place more than once... but did I mention the meat??

    Wonderful Fathers Day meal for husband at Earlscourt BBQ in Corso Italia, Toronto. So yummy and a memorable moment for our family. My son and I had the beef brisket and my husband had the ribs both of which where out of this world as well as hush puppies, dill curry potato salad, cole slaw, pickles and mac and cheese which where also yummy. We highly recommend Earlscourt BBQ for a family meal, a date night or for a meeting up with friends really any fun and casual gathering.
