Chainsmoker Urban Barbecue in Etobicoke

Food was tasty, and priced about right. Restaurant was freezIng cold, and with metal chairs with wood seats, it was uncomfortable. Didnt feel like the heat was turned on at all. Also, we showed up shortly after opening and the tables werent clean - not filthy, but someone cut corners on cleaning (tables were just wiped down). Also, wish they had a liquor license, because beer & BBQ just go together.

Tried this restaurant for my father s birthday, the staff were very receptive and accommodating. The large tray is excellent and feeds 6 perfectly, the meat was tender and juicy. Our server Ranz brought out a cake (I asked him to keep it in the kitchen) and played happy birthday music which was a nice touch. Would highly recommend this place to any meat lovers!

Nice place for casual dine in for small group. Will give less star for food as some of the sides we wanted were not available like coleslaw and ceasar salad. Order the the platter, definitely the best from all we ordered. Chicken burgers were just ok, kids didnt finish all. The other remaining sides we got definitely the fries were best. Will recommend this for Ribs and brisket.

Absolutely incredible. The cowboy sandwich is my new favourite food.

Wow! Delicious! Friendly service! Thoughtful and kind!

Service was quick and efficient. The food (the Cowboy Sandwich) was on point! The prices are very reasonable as well. Im definitely coming back! Food : 5/5 |

Needs to be bigger, food is great needs more exposure.

Everything thank you Ian

We had a client cater in Chainsmokers for a holiday lunch for our office, and oh my what a treat! The restaurant even surprised us with some delicious baked goods to enjoy alongside the AMAZING food. This is not just a restaurant, but also a great catering option for corporate lunches, birthdays, large events, etc. 10/10

First time at this location, decided to have a quick bite to eat with family and had the best experience. Staff was incredibly kind & even the chefs at back. My mom requested to hear country music to pair with her BBQ & they didn t hesitate to fulfill her request so sweet!!

Great

My partner and I have dined here numerous times and cannot get enough of the food. Very delicious and quality food. I especially enjoyed the chicken wings with the bbq sauce!

The staff is very friendly and the food came out faster than we thought. It was so good and for my first visit ever, I had a great experience. I was served at the table due to being on crutches(they do it for everyone lol) and we had a nice chat after my meal too. Very friendly, would recommend and visit again

Great food and service! The food tastes amazing and the service was exceptional. Came for lunch and enjoyed my meal

Really good food and awesome customer service. Loved it !!!

I have the brisket burger and fries. Good place for a lunch.

Good 2 go

Best bbq spot in Canada. Delicious!

Delicious and home like grilled chicken meal

They were nice and took a reservation without any issues. Food was good and overall a great time.

Amazing good, delicious!! Kid-friendliness: Good spot Food : 5/5 |

Great service, brisket was phenomenal. The fries dun up tasted like a spicy California roll and fries mixed. Fries were so crispy! Fried chicken sandwich tastes like a not-unhealthy Popeyes sandwich.

The chicken wings + fries are a solid deal

The BBQ food here tells a a story. The moment it dances on the petals of your tastebuds it screams exquisite and bountiful claims of passion and harmony. There is also a wonderful bidet in the washroom. +2 points. Getting back to the food, the aroma, atmosphere and overall experience. It truly was a pleasure. -Clues

first time coming here and trying authentic texas barbecue so the bar is set high. i had the large platter with a group of friends. brisket was very juicy along with the ribs that was absolutely incredible and the meat fell off the bone. the jerk chicken was my favourite but that s because jerk chicken is one of the my favourite dishes. the sauces were very delicious as well the barbecue sauce was nice and smokey, my favourite sauce was this yellow/orange tint sauce because it had some zing to it. done up fries were absolutely delish and a must try side. the mac and cheese was amazing and wasn t super salty and had a balance flavour. coleslaw was dill esque to it and could be an acquired taste but personally i enjoy this type of coleslaw and grew up eating this type of slaw

Excellent! You can taste the care and quality of the ingredients in the food made in-house at a good price.

Delicious and awesome prices for lunch special!

Great food, great service, Ian was very helpful and nice

Amazing food, never fails, excellent service as well!

Food tastes awesome, ribs barely had any meat though. Order brisket instead. I had to get some chicken after because I was still hungry.

Decided to try out Chainsmoker BBQs catering option for a large work event, and could NOT be more pleased with the results. Adrian was awesome to work with, answered all my questions, and was very responsive. Food was ready on time, excellent service, food was incredible (left with most of my guests wanting to visit the restaurant themselves), and most importantly, made me an absolute rockstar at the event. Highlights were the beef brisket, bbq chicken, mac n cheese, and even the coleslaw floored my guests. Thank you Adrian and Team, and well DEFINITELY be in touch soon for the next order.

Amazing music with great food

First time eating here was amazing, the chicken was lovely and pulled straight of the bone! Lovely flavours

Got the platter for 3-4 person. But its actually for 5-6 people. They serve a lot of delicious bbq

Felt pregnant after eating here. 10/10

The food was great. It came out quick (short wait time ). The medium platter was great for the whole family. Perfect for 4 to 5 people & still be left with leftovers

Delicious and friendly stafff! Highly recommend! Food : 5/5

Food was amazing and the service was awesome

Great BBQ and great service. This place is top notch Ive been here multiple times with friends and we always get the platter. Everything is good!

Amazing service, hubby and mom surely enjoyed

Good food, nice employees

Chaismokers Urban Halal Barbecue in Mississauga is an absolute must-try! We went for the Smoked Triple Beef Brisket and the Jerk Chicken Sandwich, and wow the meat was on-point, tender, and juicy! The sauces were the perfect match, and the spice level? Out. Of. This. World! Plus, the fries? A-mazing! The cozy, family-friendly vibe made the whole experience even better. I m definitely coming back for round two I can already hear that brisket and chicken calling my name again!

The best juicy brisket in town!! It is cooked and seasoned to perfection! Staff is super friendly and welcoming! Nice cosy place too!

Highly recommended, staff is very friendly and the food is amazing.

Great restaurant, the big platter was delicious and had a variety of options

Amazing place , amazing people and great food.

Amazing best BBQ ribs I ever had! A must try Food

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Thank you Abd Samad

Very nice

The food is great. Staff is extremely friendly and very compensating

Over priced.. not worth the try.

Excellent food and service! Generous portions, comforting and clean atmosphere. Would recommend to all!

Wonderful halal western bbq. Ribs and Brisket awesome, wings insane, chicken is ok....

The test was amazing recommended

I didn t think BBQ could get this bad, but this place proved me wrong. The ribs were a mess drowned in sauce as if they were trying to cover up the fact that the meat had zero flavor. It s like they were hiding the evidence of a culinary crime. The service? Adequate, but nothing to write home about just the usual lukewarm interactions you get around the GTA. The atmosphere was decent, which made the food even more disappointing. This place tried to look the part but failed miserably where it counted. Honestly, I m starting to think BBQ in Canada is a lost cause, and trying the halal option here didn t help either. Ontario, you seriously need to figure out how to BBQ, because this place just made it onto my never again list. If you re looking for a lesson in how smoked meat shouldn t taste, this is your spot.

i never tried that good brisket. it is really good fresh and juicy.Also environment and service is so good.

Great service and food!

Very small place with a small menu. Quality is ok and the taste is ok too.

Went there when they about to open up & every item was great :)

Great tasting and quality bbq! Very good service

The food is super tasty. Loved the smoky flavors. Definitely coming back! A must-try for barbecue lovers!

Really great spot for BBQ beef ribs at the border of Mississauga and Etobicoke. They re big and served with a generous portion of coleslaw and a side. I had the rice and I really enjoyed the seasoning on it. The ribs were tender and flavourful. Their pulled brisket poutine is also a generous portion. Definitely shareable. They also offer daily lunch specials for under $15. The plaza has a large parking lot.

Great ribs

Tried it twice. First was the brisket burger. Sauce is too strong on the burger and all you taste is the sweet vinegar of the BBQ sauce. Beef ribs are decent, but pricey.

Subba & Ian went above and beyond for their service! Very good atmosphere and amazing food! Especially the jerk chicken cheese fries

Great food, great service and a cosy atmosphere

Good halal spot ever. Enjoyed burger and brisket The recent #menu of Chainsmoker urban halal barbecue, Etobicoke Food

The staff were friendly and nice, the food was tasty. Decent portion, but for a meat lover i expected more meaty ribs. But overall is a nice place and would come bk to try other menu items.

Very tasty and reasonably priced! Difficult to find beef ribs in Durham region. Favorite item on the menu.

I love how the quality of this place hasnt dropped over the years, with few other bbq spots around this place has great briskets. If they would add halal bacon crumble to the macaroni and cheese, that would be the cherry on top for that meal

Loved it

Good food

Literally the best food I ve had in a while. Finished my whole plate fries and all. Soo good. I had the cowboy sandwich with dun up fries

Nice smoked meat sandwiches. Ive been here a couple of times, but the second time I really enjoyed how their burger tasted. Really delicious and good portions. Took a couple of stars out of the atmosphere because music was a little loud. Will be back.

The food here is excellent! Highly recommend the beef ribs and beef brisket. The rice was surprisingly good.

Best burger I ve had in a long long time

The ribs are to die for!!

Amazing tasting brisket, not inexpensive though.

Just had the BEST BBQ at Chainsmoker Urban Barbecue! If you haven t been here yet, you re seriously missing out. Their ribs? Fall-off-the-bone perfection. Brisket? So tender, it practically melts in your mouth. And don t even get me started on the mac and cheese creamy, cheesy, and absolutely addictive! The vibe is chill and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to hang out with friends or family. The staff? Super friendly and make you feel right at home. Trust me, one bite and you ll be hooked. Get down to Chainsmoker Urban Barbecue ASAP and thank me later! #BestBBQ #FoodieFind #MustTry

This place was AMAZING! I went a few days ago and I actually can t stop thinking about how good that meat was. If you go get the smoked ribs

We had wings which v dry n forgot to put the sauce and got jerk sandwich which was just ok ..No presentation atall v bad service .workers hardly knw what they have to do n how to serve .

Great place for beef brisket and ribs.

Pretty good for a Canadian brisket sandwich. As a texan, I give two thumbs up!

Very delicious and quality food at a good price. The place is small, there are few low tables. But everything perfect.

Ordered beef ribs for $34 with a salad. Only gave 2 skimpy beef ribs way over priced for the amount they give you

Excellent experience here tonight. The jerk chicken sauce is delicious and the brisket was very tender. The staff and owners were extremely kind and accommodating. Wild will visit again next time we are in London!

Food was great. Really appreciate the great service by Zarar. Highly recommend

Very nice looking and clean interior

End up grabbing the large platter here for mother day. everyone in the house loved it I recommend calling in cuz all of the delivery services have a significant upcharge Dietary restrictions: Halal

My family and I were traveling and we decided to stop by Chainsmokers to have some of their food. Already as we walked in the aroma of the food was very pleasing. The workers and the servers there were super nice and welcoming people. When our food came in the food was probably one of the best burgers I had eaten in a while. Definitely 5/5 eating area

great spot for bbq and great service. both the workers were extremely pleasant clean environment and nicely decorated as well. the brisket and mac and cheese are great

To good

The food was fantastic. Highly recommend

Amazing food. They serve halal food .smoked brisket fries are top

Amazing service, great food, Zarar has great customer service smile on his face speaks nicely to the customers.. overall amazing experience will definitely coming again. Dietary restrictions: Halal food..

I always Come here and my guy Zarar Always give me awesome service. 100% satisfied!

Food quality is pretty bad Definitely not worth 17$ for a really bad burger Food

Super tender brisket, smoky ribs, crispy fries, coleslaw and tasty bbq sauce. Definitely worth a try.

Brisket was a 3/5, Caesar salad 1/5, coleslaw -10/5. Paid $30+ for this meal, looking for a keto option in Etobicoke. Nice restaurant atmosphere. Dietary restrictions: Keto

Amazing brisket, very friendly staff Dietary restrictions: Halal Food : 5/5 Recommended dishes

Ma shaa Allah, the brisket with fries and the beef back ribs were incredible Allahumma Baarik. Super friendly staff, amazing interior, extremely filling food with great prices. 1000/10 - New best place to get steaks & brisket

Excellent food, dine in space was also great and excellent customer service especially by shamila, worth the money. We ordered smoked brisket and a few other things, everything was great Food

This is some good friggin bbq a must try . The brisket is tender and tasty the dun up fries are worth it . The staff are really nice and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Vegetarian options: It s bbq what do you think . Eat the brisket and pretend it s a salad.

Incredible barbeque!! I plan to come here regularly!

got two orders of beef back ribs with fries dun up for takeout. for a little over $80 they forgot the coleslaw for both meals & gave the wrong drink. recommend checking your items before leaving the restaurant as they don t answer phone calls either.

Kid-friendliness: They have a highchair available but no kids menu, no disposable plates or cups. Food

My guy Zarar is a magician in the kitchen. The food was 10/10 so much flavour highly recommended

One of my favourite BBQ spots - I come here all the time with my friends. I always get the beef brisket but the burger is fantastic as well. The fires dun up and mac and cheese are also great.

I love it Best place i have ever tried meat at, the atmosphere is great and people are amazing Food : 5/5

My dad and I ordered a cowboy sandwich to share. It took 35 minutes for us to get our food, because they had given our order to someone else accidentally. 4/5 people in the restaurant with us complained about something like a missing side or the order taking too long. Not only that but our sandwich was lacking meat, and the sauce was so overwhelming you couldn t taste anything else. Since our order was given away to someone else we did not receive the dun d up fries we paid for.

We were family of five very picky eaters and we all got something of our taste. Every dish had good taste and its also cost effective.

This used to be my go to place for sandwich / burgers and I would even recommend this place to friends, but recently they changed the buns and it makes the whole sandwich worse. The restaurant decided to go with cheap burger buns that ruins the experience of the brisket in a sandwich, I wish they kept their old buns.

One Of My Favourite Restaurants

We tried the bbq beef ribs and they were AMAZING, highly recommend this place. The flavours were perfect and the meat was so tender, fall off the bone. I would skip out on the cole slaw though, it had a wierd flavour and I wasnt a fan of the dill in it. The mac and cheese was alright but the fries were seasoned and crispy (dun up fries were not worth it though for $2 extra). The interior is a bit small but they do also have a patio outside. Im definitely coming back here more often!

It s a nifty little shop in the corner but my god it s amazing. The service is very good. And their brisket is AMAZING. Soft, tender and juicy. Decent portion size! Very good!

We went for Iftaar tonight. The place is small and we were a bigger group. The guy at the counter took our order, we made him repeat the order and he still forgot one of the dishes we ordered. We insist on people taking our orders to repeat themselves so we don t have to face these issues in front of our guests. But alas, the food did not make up for the disappointment of waiting an extra 15 minutes. The brisket and ribs ordered felt stale, reheated on flat grill and served on a bed of uncle Ben s rice. The mac n cheese was bland pasta boiled and served with processed cheese. What an utter embarrassment calling that dish Mac n cheese. Not what we were expecting in terms of flavour and meat. Pretty disappointed and won t be returning.

Awesome briskets. Very satisfied with everything.

The food was great and the guy serving us was polite. He was running the place by himself I think. Half the items on the menu were not available but thats OK because the thing you should order is the brisket.

Great value for money

I had to take the day to make up the this upsetting experience here. It was Eid day, and I brought my family here to celebrate after prayer. Not only did it take 45 for our food to come, I noticed from the receipt afterwards our order was never put in right away. We were barely acknowledged, as customers who came in after us were seated and served. Not only did we have to wait almost an hour for our food, but when it arrived it wasn t even edible. My sisters burger came out solid. I even too a fork with me to show the staff how crispy is sounded, as I returned the meal. I asked for a replacement burger and ask for it to go as soon as much of our time was already wasted. The rest of us proceeded to finish our meals, which weren t too bad, as he brought the replacement meal. He said he apologizes for everything and that we won t be charged for the meal. 10 mins later as we ask for the bill, he brings me the receipt for 4 meals. I asked him why there are still 4 meals and he said I m not charging you for the replacement but that I had to pay for the first meal which we returned. I didn t even want to do any back and forth I was already so upset and didn t want to spend another minute in that place. This was so saddening especially for it to be on Eid Day, a day filled food, love, and festivities. No offence, but I will never be back here again!

Their brisket is the real deal. Loved it.

Service could be much better Food wasnt bad Weather was great so we were outside and that was nice a setup Food : 4/5

Before our flight back to US stopped here for lunch with two business associates. All 3 of us felt the meat was extremely tender and delicious. It was better than the dinner we had at the steakhouse we ate at the night before!

Best Mac and cheese with great friendly service

Great place to dine in at

Great food, the ribs especially are really flavourful just not too amazing quantity wise. If youre there with a group look at the party menu, you might get a better bargain there. Pricing is a bit high but standard for halal BBQ places. Dietary restrictions: Halal

Great food & service! We had the double leg bbq with dunup fries, beef brisket & smoked brisket poutine. Loved everything we ordered. Have been there twice and definitely going back soon.

love the way the workers are so nice, and making sure i got the best service loving the food

We try the burger and the brisket sandwich, and they were delicious. Tha service was better than good. You have to come.

Food is incredible. you can taste the smoke on the soft brisket and i really enjoyed the mac and cheese.

Definitely must go place for halal bbq. Their brisket and Ribs was amazing.

Exc place Amazing food We enjoyed a lot the food Food : 5/5

Not good at all small and expensive. Not brisket at all. The little brisket that they put it on top of the fries was burned and only fat not meat at all. Smoked brisket cheese fries they sell as sharing plates it is a joke for $19.50.

This spot is a food lovers paradise! The food is seriously delicious, and the service is spot on. The vibe is just perfect, creating a laid-back atmosphere. If youre a fan of tasty food, excellent service, and a relaxed setting, its definitely worth a visit!

The brisket sandwich is a must-try here!

Updated 2024 menu prices. Overall food was delicious. Unfortunately closer to closing they ran out of brisket. I was a bit disappointed that we didn t get enough pasta with our main course, I was hoping it would be a larger portion.

Dietary restrictions: Good Food

Love the food (ordered the jerk chicken) portion is nice and presentation and service is on point!! Dietary restrictions: Has Halal Parking: Parking is nice

The food was really good and we all enjoyed it!

Let me start off by saying the food is here is incredibly good, however for these prices why is my food received looks like it had to be rationed. I even called and complained about this but multiple times now this how much Mac and cheese I am getting like what???

Excellent food and fast service. Thank you!

This place is terrible. Really terrible. The food is very over rated, the service Is the worst you have to beg even for water, dirty and broken glasses for water. Very over priced. Disgusting place

One of the best

Delicious BBQ and friendly service! We got the beef ribs and cheese brisket fries. Ribs were falling off the bone, so good. A little pricey, but worth it. Definitely recommend. Side bonus - theres a shatafa in the bathroom!

It s expensive and meat portions are small. I was fine with the meat portion size as I am a petite woman. However, I could see that someone who is not petite/or has a bigger appetite may find that the meay portion size is small here.

This food was $24, the food quality was acceptable, but the pricing seemed high for the area. Unfortunately, the cashier was unfriendly, also abusive toward an employee, making it an unpleasant experience. I would not recommend this place. Only good thing it s halal.

Had a really good experience. Perfect service, cleanliness, great behaviour of the staff and amazing taste of food. Must try

The food was amazing, Especially the warm greeting from employees (Karan). It felt like home while dining at the restaurant.

very dilecious

I dont think Ive ever been as disappointed eating out as I have here. $45 for two ribs and mac and cheese is highway robbery. The food was out really quick, assuming because it was all premade. Portion size is beyond abysmal. The staff at the front looked and acted like they didnt want to be there or take your order. Extremely off putting from the get go. Will never return. Edit: Added a second picture of what ribs should look like. This was at Smokey Sams.

A great place for halal barbecue and smoked meat! The ambiance was really nice and cozy, although the dine-in space is a bit small. The staff were really nice and food was served at a decent pace. We ordered the burger, which was really juicy. The smoked beef was also tasty, the rice was perfectly seasoned. The price point was a hit on the higher end, you re looking at spending about 20-25$ per dish, depending on what you choose. Would definitely return.

Had cowboy burger and brisket fries. Both had overcooked meat in them. No one liked their food. Service wasnt great either. Our plates were never cleared. Food

Awsome beef back ribs and definitely a must

The food was delicious.

Terrible service for online order. If they dont have any item available they should mention it in the menu. Meaningless harassment of customers.

Walked in to 2 young men who were playing loud music and Chillen out. We ordered and we didn t get some of the things we ordered as the kids really weren t listening to what we asked for. We both ordered the brisket and it was cold. We then sat to chat for about an hour while the kids played on their phones and we waited for someone to come and take our plates, it didn t happen! Paid and left, but we won t be back. Much better halal brisket on the market.

Had the brisket sandwich not the burger. I was expecting the sandwich would come in a bread not in a bun. The portion was small for the price but the taste was good.

Damn good burger! You definitely should stop in.

Taste is fine nothing so special but their customer service is amazing! Update: Now that I ve been here for the second time, I became sure of two things. Firstly, bbq beef is not for me. Hence i don t find their food to be special in any kind. Talking about special, I can double down on their great customer service and tell you that indeed it is so special. I haven t experienced such extraordinarily high-quality customer-oriented customer service before ever in my life. They re consistently excellent with their customer service. Jorhos helped me today and he was nothing less than a top quality guy. He made sure multiple times that I m enjoying my time here. He is a nice gentleman and made my experience very valuable in this place.

Drove a hour away to try this spot and now I m hooked my hubby is Muslim so we tried this spot out and OMG then Jerk chicken fried was soooo good. Can t wait to travel to try the food here again!

Good food but over priced.

Amazing bbq platter, loved it. Wide variety of sauces.

Great ribs and insane brisket! All halal I highly recommend this joint.

I ordered from Uber eats and honestly was one of the most disgusting things Ive ordered in a long time. I ordered 2 burgers and literally feel like Ive got food poisoning after eating only half of one. There was 0 flavor in the meat patty and featured a soft soggy bun. I have nothing to say about the atmosphere cause I havent been there but the food being this bad it doesnt even matter. It just feels like who ever made my food just did not care. There are tons of better halal burger places in the city ,6ix side burger being one of them.

Disgusting unhygienic place the owner CHEVY was so RUDE and kept eating at the front counter and serving customers at the same time. If I could give this place 0 stars I would! Count your days Chev since you love to gossip and spread rumours about other establishments you re getting what you deserve

Love this spot! I love the fried chicken sandwich and my friend loved the jerk chicken. Great meal after flying in :)
