We have gone here for years now I find the ribs are not as good as they use to be to top it off when we looked back at the bill they are now including a tip in the cost. I'm not sure where companies get off charging you to auto tip. I normally do tip if the service is good but when it's forced I I find other places to eat!..... Response to the owners reply. When the person behind the counter was asked does your machine have Tap on it and the reply is "yes" When someone taps it should be the base amount that is asked and should not have a tip built into it! That is called negative optioning. This is take out not a eat it restaurant!

Stopped by for a late afternoon lunch. Couldn’t decide what I wanted so tried the brisket sandwich and the southern fried chicken. The brisket was nothing special. Not a lot of smoked flavour and I wasn’t a fan of the house white sauce. Also, cheese has no place on a brisket sandwich. However, I’m ignoring the brisket because the fried chicken was sooooo good. Unbelievably juicy while still being super crispy. Among the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. The fries were really good - fresh cut and perfectly cooked, and an enormous portion even though only a side. And to top it all off, the real unexpected treat was the cornbread. Now I love cornbread, but so few places do it right, and Yorkie’s is definitely in that small group. The cornbread was moist and flavourful, yet still with that crumble that is unique to true cornbread. And the piece was gigantic - 2-3 times bigger than anywhere else. All in all a wonderful meal. Will definitely be back for the chicken and will have to try the ribs. Staff was also really friendly.

I've known the owner for years! Great man! And his food is to die for! People travel from all over just for his food. All of you fried chicken lovers, this chicken is probably way better than your favorite fried chicken place, by far! Let us know what you think!

First time at this off the beaten path BBQ joint, where everything is so fresh. Had lean brisket sandwich, Southern fried chicken and fries. Chicken was so juicy, skin was so crisp. And then we saw the milkshakes, which looked amazing.

Not really a fan of white sauce on meats, but solid portions and well presented. Onion rings are buttery good.

visit: july 2 sunday 3pm staff/service 5 stars, this a must-mention.. food, a different story. i had the brisket sandwich and the gf had the pulled pork sandwhich. for sides, i had poutine and the girlfriend had onion rings. the sides are better than other places, like poutine had a good balance of cheese, gravy and fries.. the onion rings didn't break unlike most fastfood places that serve them -they tasted like onion rings! as for the sandwhiches, the brisket's a 3.5 to be honest. i don't have the heart to give it a 3, so 4 stars on that. the pulled pork, well, i have a friend who manages restaurants, the pulled pork is just like any other place, unfortunately. those who've ordered the rib sandwhich at SC know this.. it's the same sauce, ive tried 3 or 4 other restaurants that have the same sauce.. i wanted to try the chicken but they didnt have any cause the breading wasn't ready or something.. perhaps a later visit I'd end up liking the food more, like ribs, chicken, etc.. $41 for 2. depending on the time you arrive and food you get and volume, serving food can take anywhere from 8 minutes to 25 mins.. portioning is filling enough.. ample parking, very close to 401 highway, outdoor dining only though. would try them again

I dropped in for lunch today and what a treat! They offer a good variety on the menu but not too much as to overwhelm. They do what they do well. I have the beef brisket sandwich and the two piece fried chicken. Both were very tasty. My friend had the brisket and the burger. Everything was flavor country. The facility is modest and clean. Staff were very welcoming. I was hanging in the window and taking pictures. They didn't mind. I think I'll always stop here when passing by. Will try the other items as I come back.

Corn breads awesome, whole families fighting for another piece. First time here a month ago the brisket was amazing, second time and it is still amazing. Great taste and texture Now ive taken a chance on the ribs! Same great texture ive come to expect from this place now but whooooooo the salt, wayy tooooo much for my tastes. **Im a canadian born Jamaican** so im not used to bbq food but god damn it was S-alty didnt stop me from leaving a plate of bones though, ease up on the salt yorkie (didnt have this same issue with the brisket tho)

Honestly expected to much more from this place and what I read and heard from the locals. Recently moved to Cobourg and had been meaning to try yorkies for some time. Finally got around to heading over and getting some food, yeah the place smells amazing when you walk in but be prepared to wait a long time. 2 other people who had already ordered and I m standing at the cash for a solid 10 minutes with the employees just looking at me, no care in the world. But I endure as iv heard really good things, took another 30 minutes to get my food. Again it s not remotely busy. Get it home and yeah the fries are pretty darn good, but that s it. Chickens dry as hell and freaking sharp!! The battery literally cut up mine and my wife s gums on our first bite, to the point we can taste blood. Eating shouldn t hurt the hell you guys put in the batter? Glass?? I sure as heck won t be going back to this place

We happened to come across this by getting lost, and we were so happy. Fast service and amazingly great food. We loved it, better than any barbecue we ever had anywhere! We stop every time we pass the area. We come of the 401 on our way to Ottawa or Montreal and on our way back home again, or even just tto Brighton, where we store our trailer. We cant find this kind of food back in Toronto. Keep up the Great Job of making the BEST BBQ we have ever tasted. We no longer have to worry about missing the Ribfest because your food is 10 times better! We have tried everything and never been disappointed!

The ribs and pulled pork are amazing. By all accounts the food is absolutely worth going to Yorkies and you wont be disappointed. One thing to note however, which was disappointing. They have no functioning washroom so if you need to go or you have to wash your hands after eating ribs, youll have to drive somewhere to do that.

Good food for sure and reasonably priced BUT it is terribly slow getting orders out of the kitchen. UPDATE July 31 - new owners but nothing has changed - called in an order 4pm for 5:30 (I know its busy that is why it was called in) they said no problem. Arrived for pick up at 5:30, was after 6 before we had it and they forgot the family size coleslaw. Fried chicken was amazing!!!!!

Yorkie s is the best BBQ stop along the 401! Burgers, ribs, chicken, pork, brisket are all great. Price has increased a little bit, to be expected in this climate we are in, but not as much as other establishments. It s still pretty affordable especially with the convenience of a 2 minute drive away from the highway ramp. There s limited seating area, wish they would put more bar-style seating on the side to accommodate customers.

We ordered by text and received confirmation. The food took 50 mins to be ready. Keep in mind that there were only a few waiting when we arrived for pick up. It shouldnt take over 50 minutes to prepare 2 sausages. Plus, when we finally received our food, the order was incorrect as there was 1 food missing. Never again. Skip this place unless youre looking to waste your time waiting for your food to be ready.

So i ordered a few things. Spent $45.00 on checking them out. So , the beef brisket was really bad. It hade no flavour at all besides a greasy taste. It also hade white chewy fat on it. It was just a bun with really bad meat on it. I would not spend your money on this. There wasn t even bbq sauce on it. Second the southern friend chicken was really bad, also hade no taste to it. No hot sauce in the batter. Hell they didn t even give me hot sauce for the chicken. 3. The poutine was the saving grace of this whole meal, along with the onion rings. Which also needed salt and pepper. The coleslaw was gross. Like this is not southern fried food. More less catering old white people that don t have taste buds and cannot eat Spicy food. If you go here just buy a poutine and a hot dog save yourself money and a tasteless experience of non southern fried chicken and a poor excuse of beef brisket. I honestly want my money back .

Place has gone down hill, side portions have gotten way smaller, prices have skyrocked, wait times are horid. Orders are incorect missing items. ( has happened on more than one occasion) You would think that when theres a line up you would start cooking in bulk to get the customers in and out in a reasonable time not what seems like one order at a time .

Always in the area and we have eaten at smokehouses across N America. Thought wed check it out. The wait is a bit much I think 25 mins today. Buns are very nice. Poutine is above board, real curds lots of gravy. Get that again. My wife had the pulled pork and I the brisket. Meat to bun ratio is a little low. Quality is excellent. Maybe not as smoked as I like it. Pulled was very saucy so that was the forward taste. Brisket was good quality just not enough of it and for me I like a mesquite or hickory smoke. But again. Just fine. No real complaint just preference.

We ordered a massive order for a work lunch. The order was placed in the manner specified (text) the day before for a specific pickup time. Yes, we did cancel two meals in the morning, but that was the only change made.

My wife and I have been driving by this place for years and finally decided to stop and give it a try yesterday. Saw they advertised a 9 dollar brisket poutine on the sign outside so we decided to try that with their coleslaw. I ll start by saying I really wish we had stopped sooner. That poutine was probably the best I ve had within a reasonable driving distance to Toronto. In fact I don t think I ve had better outside Montreal it was that good. The brisket had all kinds of flavours and was absolutely tender and delicious. The gravy was just as good and flavourful. The fries were also a good fry for a poutine and held up well. Solid 9.5/10 for that poutine. I was gushing about it the rest of the day. The coleslaw was not as good as I was hoping but it was decent enough. Found it to be a little bland. Maybe some vinegar of some type or a sharper mayo taste would help it but I m not going to complain too much as it was good enough. 6/10 for the coleslaw. All in all I ll most definitely be back. I m actually trying to resist making the drive back out today but I ll be back. You should most definitely stop if you re hungry and approaching this place.

May 21, 2024

Just got food from yorkies, took just over an hour to receive our food. We ordered 1 large poutine, 1 small poutine, and a hotdog. The hotdog was absolutely disgusting had 2 bites and my dog finished it. There was a skin on it which made it extremely difficult to chew. Who puts whole slices of tomatoes and onions on hotdogs they should be chopped. Will not recommend nor will I be returning very disappointed.

All be it under new management the food is still amazing!!! Great smoked meats! the food never disappoints. If the new owners wish to maintain the status quo then they need to improve on food delivery and timing. The text to order service which they implemented is all but not existent and just adds frustration to placing an order and they often run out of food. I really hope this gets sorted out soon as this lack of attention to the little things could come back on them negatively. All in all they still deliver great food! It is well worth the experience, at least once. You can decide whether it is worth the wait or not:)

Thank you for quick responding to my concerns. Make note their food is Fantastic. I still do reccomend!

Love this place! Just north of the 401 off hwy 45 in Cobourg. Portions are great! Food is amazing. No dine in experience- either take out or picnic tables / outdoor dining is the option. My go to is their burger and fries or onion rings, depending on what I feel like. They definately have many different bbq food choices if not feeling like a burger.

Brisket and pulled pork tasted good, but the portion of beans was mostly sauce and our order was missing an entree. Waiting time was also long, despite arriving after the specified time. Parking: Good parking, easy to find by the 401.

Super slow the last few visits. Busy spot but 45 minute wait for chicken and fries is a little long. I will update the next time we go. Chicken was also over cooked and dry. Hopefully just a couple off nights. Family run homemade food. Always happy to serve. Busy most evenings but still decent service

We have been going to Yorkies since it first opened. Unfortunately, since the sale , prices have increased dramatically, $3.00 for a slice of Bacon in a Burger? Really? Quality is up and down, portions are definitely shrinking as well. I hope the owners arrest the decline before its too late. Parking: Always been a problem

First time here today, had chicken, ribs, fries and cornbread. Fries were still hot after a 1/2 hr drive home and were amazing. The ribs were cooked perfectly, had incredible flavour, and didnt last at our house. Everything was great and well make this one of our stops when were travelling through the Cobour area.

Our 1st time there today, was an incredible experience. The meals were fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. Its safe to say, we have a new favourite BBQ place in the Cobourg/Baltimore area.

December 21, 2023

I ordered the full family BBQ chicken meal. They didnt have any coleslaw so the cashier suggested baked beans. The chicken was very bland. It had very little BBQ sauce and no seasoning. The baked beans were very sweet. They tasted like beans with BULLEYE BBQ sauce. We got a container full of fries. They need to season the chicken and apply a generous amount of BBQ sauce. The baked beans are awful. They need to find better baked beans more like home baked beans. They have to ensure that they have more than enough supply of coleslaw as well. A better idea other than a container of fries would be that half of the container be filled with coleslaw and the other half with fries. Having paper plates for their customers would also be a good idea instead of using the thin paper napkins. We were very disappointed and we will not be stopping off there back from the cottage on our way home. You never know until you give it a try. We did and we will not be going back there again.

We visited a little while ago and still this place runs through my mind every so often,the food is excellent,the staff is excellent and the selection and price is second to none. I just visited another barbeque spot in Keene and let me just say that spot which I will not name is absolute garbage,I left a review and the owners response was as tasteless as the food. The owner and staff at Yorkies are a class in their own, the owners response to negative reviews shows that they care about their customers and also about the quality of food they put out, cant say enough good things about this place. Definitely will be making another visit before summer is over.

Just left Yorkies and going back to Toronto. Food is Its fresh, well seasoned, and savoury! Service - theres a bit of a wait coz they cook everything fresh, but its worth the side trip. The guy who served us is friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. Amazing job to the staff! The people we met at the store are also friendly. One thing though, I think you should open a store in Toronto! Well be the first to line up for sure! Were now a fan! Were coming back and bringing our family whos visiting from the US to try Yorkies!

Not impressed with the impersonal text Your order in I placed my order at 4 PM to pick up at 6 it was not very busy at the time I placed my order there was no real reason the phone couldn t be answered when not busy ..after getting here at 6pm to find out they never got the order because their internet was not working. Not my problem If the Internet isn t working, answer the phones . I appreciate the owner apologizing, but that doesn t lessen my wait after working all day

My experience at Yorkies is always enjoyable. The food is always great and the service is friendly and the food is prepared fresh and in a timely manner. I do not really like the texting order procedure because if the Internet is glitching orders don t always go through. I like a more personal phone order when possible. The owner is very accommodating and apologetic if something is wrong.

Usually the drive is worth it but not yesterday, waited forever which is fine but unusually long and then the 3 piece white turned into a 2 piece white 1 dark because they ran out of white meat, what? And it was burnt. Now onto the salad, I dont mind paying for a salad however 13.99 for chicken caesar salad, it was a side salad as far as I was concerned and the chicken was nothing more then no name mussy chicken fingers cut up, it was disgusting. I expected a REAL piece of chicken and the salad to be much bigger for the price. My hubby and I have a list and im afraid Yorkies might be making that list, btw not a good list to be on.

Parking: 2pm the lot was empty pulling in we beat the rush cuz 5 mins. later the lot started filling up with 3 cars while we waited on our order!

December 21, 2022

all the meat is beyond mediocre. ribs are weirdly salty, chicken has been dry every time i ve ordered it and the pulled pork is drenched. getting crispy fries and good customer service is super rare. i ordered online so i would not have to waiting 20 mins for my food but waited longer than people who came in and ordered. when i got home the chicken was cold and the ribs were practically just flat pieces of fat. not testing my luck again with this place
