The service from Iryna was absolutely most outstanding, she was attentive, helpful, gave honest opinions, checked in enough to make sure you knew you were well taken care of. I'd seen such mixed reviews of the service online, this took me by pleasant surprise. The hostess before her also greeted us with friendly service. It is important to note that main dishes do not include anything at all beyond the protein. Sides are in the $10-15 range, so factor that in. My "main" was a single skewer of chicken, nothing else included for $20. That's not what one expects with a main dish. Is it really prohibitive for your bottom line to include something like rice or potatoes? Perhaps a side salad, a couple of basic veg? That said, what we ate was all tasty, the brussel sprouts perhaps a bit too oily, but that's being nitpicky. The apricot crepe for dessert was very delicious, completely worth it. Overall a good experience, nice atmosphere, outstanding service, decent food, the only not normal aspect was that the pricing was more in line with The Keg with everything charged separately. It may be a nice place, but this is not The Keg. Make the mains a complete meal on their own; will lead to less customer confusion, dissatisfaction, and increased perceived value.

I recently visited Royal Meats BarBeque, and it was a good experience! I tried the pork & beef slider and the beef & lamb slider. The pork and beef slider had a stronger flavor, while the lamb and beef was a bit more gamey. Both were delicious, and I also paired them with calamari, which was perfect! The variety of meats they offer is impressive, and the sides. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy some delicious barbecue meats. I highly recommend checking it out!

Dinner at Royal Meats was spontaneous but impressive! Been eyeing this restaurant and finally made it for an early dinner. We shared the calamari to start and it was so tender! I am not usually a sliders kinda-gal and I am still dreaming about these deconstructed burgers. My mom got the fish and chips, that were fresh and crispy and we shared a poutine and the Brussels sprouts as sides. I will 100% be returning.

Let's start with the primary attraction of this restaurant: the meat dishes were well prepared. The NY strip was lightly seasoned but served with a small dish of sea salt and a small container of olive oil. The olive oil was fragrant and it added a lot to the steak. The bone-in veal was very well seasoned and grilled to perfection. The beets were plentiful and served beautifully. That Swiss chard with potatoes was garlicky and savoury. The truffle fries were excellent. The fried calamari was crispy and flavourful. The grilled chicken wings were seasoned nicely but not overladdened with crusty sauces.

Went here just to try it out. Was in the area. Very nice place...amazing patio and food was very good with large portions. Surprisingly large portions. Only tried a couple things but will be back to try more items.

Its great. Simple as that. The quality of food you will receive from this restaurant is amazing. Everything is FRESH!! I believe that to be one of the most important things. The beef was soft and tender and packed with flavour and the calamari was cooked to perfection. Extra virgin olive oil is used and you can just taste the quality and difference when food is cooked with it. I highly recommend anyone to come here! Its more upscale and the food is higher quality. Prices are reasonable for what you get!! Love it!

Went to Royal Meats BBQ to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is located in an industrial part of South Etobicoke in the Kipling/North Queen area. The restaurant has a beautiful patio with lots of lush green plants and lights. We opted to eat inside. Inside they have a Meat Counter when all the fresh meats are displayed, giving it a chic fresh market vibe. We ordered their infamous 22OZ BONE-IN RIB EYE STEAK with a side of sautéed wild mushrooms and steamed rice. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection. It was one of the best steaks we’ve ever had in Toronto. It was juicy with just the perfect flavours. The sides were outstanding as well. The rice so fluffy and the mushrooms were delicious. 10/10 meal! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved loved loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. All the dishes being served looked amazing. Staff was friendly. One drawback was our server, can’t remember her name (long dark flowy hair + blue eyes) She made us feel a bit rushed to order and at the end of our meal, she simply came and left the bill and debit machine with us. Didn’t ask us if we wanted desert or an espresso or anything else, just gave the us terminal and walked away. Another server (a male) did come back after and ask us if we had a nice meal and if we wanted an espresso (which we declined) Otherwise the experience was great and we can’t wait to go back again and try out other dishes!

I tried this restaurant after reading the reviews, which were very good, however my experience here was not as expected. The service was good. Our waitress came several times to find out how we were doing. The portion of the calamari was appropriate and came in normal waiting time. Our main courses did not come at the same time and for one of them the delay was significant. The plates are served alone, without anything. If you want a side it is an additional cost of about $10 for each one. So the cost of a meal ends costing 10 or 20 more of the listed price, making it very expensive compared to similar restaurants. The portions were really small for the price. The noise level is very high making it uncomfortable to have a chat with others in your table.

Royal Meats is close to my office, so, naturally, my coworkers and I were often came here for lunch. Today, we came as a group of 9 people. Before ordering, we asked if we could get individual billing. The service person, who introduced himself as a general manager, has declined the request and demanded that we pay one bill. His argument was that according to the restaurant policy, a group of 8 and above should pay a single bill. My colleague and I asked for a separate table (the place was empty enough) so we could split the bill. The general manager has rejected this option and ultimately, in very rude manner, told us either we pay a single bill or we should leave. So, we left. Luckily. Because we found a great place for lunch just 3 min away from this place. Im, personally, lived 31 years ago in a soviet country, where a rude customer service was a normal style for that regime and the people lived at tha time. I didnt expect to see something very similar here in Canada. I believe no one from my team will come to this place ever again!!!

Made a reservation on open table, they call me more than 6 hrs later saying they have a private event that day and I cannot stay longer than 1hr. At first a lady calls me doesn t say where she is calling from and was very unclear on the phone saying the wrong date for my reservation making me confuse it with a different one. No apology or anything just saying no you need to move the date. I told her thats what reservations are for so I can make plans and I cannot just move them now. Very unprofessional from their side, never had such a careless attitude towards a customer. Ive been here before service was slow but ok food was medium but enough to come back. But this attitude of we don t really care about you as we have a big group coming is trashy business behaviour

I ve been here a few times and it s a wonderful atmosphere and food is great. I booked a reservation and upon arriving they informed me they didn t have my table. I m not sure if they gave the table away, but they did have my reservation. I understand things like this can happen, and they were extremely busy, but staff offered no apology or acceptable solution (they offered a table on their patio which is heated but didn t dress appropriately for dining outside in the middle of November. Really unfortunate, but I won t be going back here. Photo represents what they did kicked me to the curb..

Ordered calimari, salmon, and chevap sandwich Calimari was a little too greasy and heavy, and not enough sauce. Chevap sandwich was okay, wish the sauce was already in the sandwich, and wish the sandwich had more structural integrity. The chevaps were really good tho. Salmon was a little oily, but good otherwise. TLDR: food was pretty good but everything was a little greasy

Went there for dinner. There was a drunk guy at the bar that was loud and obnoxious. It was hard to have a conversation because of him. I ordered a chicken sandwich which consisted of just that. No lettuce, no tomato. No side. I guess you have to order that separately. My chicken was dry. As if it had been cooked, set aside and cooked again when an order for it came. The grill marks were suspicious looking. They are the same ones that fast foods have when they reheat something that s already been cooked. Bun was dry. Very disappointed over all. Parking: Awkward parking lot design. And no lines

My husband and I visited this place recently to celebrate his birthday. When we ordered our steaks, the waiter Aleksandra, asked if we wanted a side and we asked if they have mushrooms as a side and she said yes, so both husband and I ordered our steaks with mushrooms. Our steaks arrived, it was definitely not 12oz even though it says on the menu and it was full of silverskin. Mushrooms arrived when we were almost done eating our steak. 2 big bowls of mushroom even though we just ordered sides, and we got charged with the price of 2 full orders of mushroom, each costing more than double a side. We realized this when we left the restaurant and already paid. Whether this kind of forced selling when we clearly asked for sides, is the restaurant s strategy or the waiter itself to get more money, I can assure you we will never come back to this kind of business and never recommend this place to anyone.

Great atmosphere. It is a meat shop and a restaurant. Although it is a bit pricey, the meats are truly good, especially the chevapi! You can select if you want beef & pork or beef & lamb for the chevapi. They charge $3 for the kajmak (cream cheese) though. If it is your first time, its good to try the meat platter one which has ten chevapis, two small burgers, one chicken breast, two pork shishkabob, one smoked sausage, & one royal cannon (this is like a cordon bleau, meat with ham and cheese inside)

Always consistent food quality for meat eaters. Secret is they own a butcher shop as well where they manufacture all that delicious cevaps. So you know meat is fresh and top notch. Bit pricey on drinks. Never disappointed. Edit. If you can afford it, go for it. I dropped 2 stars for prices that have gone up. With a tip, limited drink, price for 2 was over 100$. This will keep me and others out of this restaurant. It was a good run, for a price alone, I am stopping eating here and some other restaurants.

The ABIANCE at Royal Meats is exactly right; due to the high ceilings and large floor space it never feels like its at capacity. The serving staff are exemplary, they made us feel like they were happy to see us, serve us and accommodate our every wish. The staff made me feel at home and they took their time, possibly realizing me and my parents were in no rush. I wanted to stay longer. The food was right on brand, Serbian fare done properly: I recommend the chevapes For dessert I have to get the Baclava of which they have 3 flavours (plum, pistachio and walnut). The Serbian baclava is made w walnuts so I tried it and was blown away! Everyone enjoyed and upon my recommendation I have 2 friends who have already reserved tables for this weekend. Go here - this review is supposed to take you to Royal Meats.

I visited this restaurant for the first time after so much hype from my partner. We went to celebrate mothers day but the food was disappointing. To be honest I think disappointing is an understatement. We ordered; Calamari - had no taste, the Calamari was over coated with corn flour and the only taste was the corn flour. Chicken Wing - came dry and tasteless. It tasted like chicken wings that were refried from previous day. NY steak - for a BBQ house, I was expecting a good taste of steak but the steak was tasteless and not properly spiced. Chevaps - these were okay but nothing extraordinary.

One of my favourite places to go and enjoy the food. However, this time it was very disappointing. The worst part was that one of the owners was just sitting at the bar, playing with his iPad, and giving high fives to his waiters. Our grilled calamari came cold because our waitress did not bring it on time, and our salad came without seasoning - not even olive oil. Of course, they forgot to add it. Additionally, I had to wait 15 minutes for my server to bring me the bill. Button line on my previous visits I never had a problem with the food quality only this time I think it was because our server was busy with other things.

I have been to royal meats various times over the years, and their quality and variety never dissapoints. To begin, the environment is clean, nice, and modern. There is a window to see the food being cooked, and the outside patio is beautiful. The service was friendly and nice, nothing exceptional but good. The selection that one may make when it comes to meats is vast. The seafood is delicious, with great calamari and shrimps, and the meats are superb. The cevaps may be some of the best I have eaten, very fatty but so incredibly delicious. The sausages are always a standout, and the chicken is grilled perfectly. A real highlight is the Royal cannon, a food so filling yet rich and creamy. Its so incredibly delicious. The salads are typically good too. The cheeses used are very high quality, and I really loved the burrata. However, I did notice they seemed to be rather oversalted. The steak sandwich had great steak, but it seemed a bit bland as a sandwich truthfully. Was mostly just bread and steak. I did not try the desserts, however they looked very good. Id really recommend the platter rather than individual meals for groups of people, as you will be able to try most of what royal meats has to offer. 5/5.

April 23, 2024

Where do I begin. This restaurant has gone downhill since they started years ago. There is a combination of shrinkflation and inflation. $10 for half pints, $8 for Costco fries, and burgers are so tiny. Everything is an extra. Service was awful from beginning to end. Seated us in the outdoor patio saying that it was warm. Clearly seated in a huge opening that the heaters couldn t keep up. Waited long for food and waited even longer to pay the bill. Several apologies for the lack of service but too little too late. The worst part is that it burned a hole in my credit card. Never going back.

This place never fails! The food is always consistent. The atmosphere in there is really nice and cozy. Gorgeous patio too. Heated. We sat at the bar last night and had Stefon serve us. This guy took our experience to whole new level. I ve been visiting restaurants for years of all kinds. This was probably the best service I ve ever had. He was so attentive. Funny. Catering. Even educational. Good story teller. Try the burger sliders. You will not be disappointed. The food can sometimes take awhile but it s totally worth the wait Parking: It can be busy so you re not always guaranteed a spot but plenty of spots near by you can park and walk over if you absolutely had to.

You know, Ive always had great food when I go in... but when I order off uber the food is horrible. The steak I had was fatty and over cooked. I asked for medium rare it was more medium. The bfs order was wrong. The last three times weve ordered in, theyve gotten it wrong. Either forgetting something, or giving us something we didnt order and had no clue what it was. Please get it together when doing uber orders etc.

The chevaps here are excellent. I placed an online order for 3kg of chevaps and the order was ready on time and the pickup was smooth and quick. The staff was friendly too. Thank you very much for the great chevaps. There is free parking on site as well.

I went with a group from work. We ended up with so much meat. Literal platters on the table with what seemed like a never-ending supply. The bread was good, the drinks were good. Lots of fun here. Skip breakfast and lunch if you are coming here.

Really great restaurants for everything meat! I was craving a really nice steak so we decided to walk in here on a Tuesday night and needless to say it was very very good! Will definitely go here again! Items we tried - Chevaps, Beats with Goats cheese, Shopska salad and the 22 oz bone in Rib Eye Steak. For desserts we tried the Tiramisu, the Chocolate Cake, the pistachio baklava and the walnut baklava (personally our least favorite dessert of the 4).

We were initially coming to Royal Meats to possibly book an event and thus were going to meet the Manager, as well as, try out the menu. However, Manager wasnt there according to the waitstaff. The food was pretty and tasty. I ordered the 3 gourmet burgers. Deconstructed ones... nice. Truffle fries and beets as sides were delicious and shared amongst our party. Calamari and the chevaps wrap (?) was also ordered. Everything tasted great, however the service for water was a little underwhelming and receiving the final bill took awhile. We went when it wasnt too busy... but something was lacking. The interior is dark but with large screens of entertainment and the seating itself was comfy. A little pricey in my opinion but the food and the accoutrements was good.

Relaxed atmosphere for people who like to watch TV while they eat. Service was friendly but a little slow for 4.30 pm. Food was filling, portions generous but fries and onion rings served cold. Buns on sliders should be soft, fluffly and minimal to highlight the protein. Instead the mini ciabattas were hard and bulky and made up the majority of the volume of each bite.

Everything main meal had extra charges, including fries? Service was interrupted by waitresses moving chairs over our heads and food not cooked as requested, practically raw. They ran out of patties for burgers? Will not go there again. Too pricey for terrible food and service.

Its a very nice place to go for dinner or lunch, but its a little pricey for the portions you get. For example: main dishes (which have a solid price already) dont come with sides; you have to order them separately (which is not common in Balkan cuisine). I wouldnt order the evapi again, but the lamb chops and the royal cannon were good. The staff is more attractive than overly friendly; they seemed a little annoyed by my friend asking too many questions, which I understand when theyre busy, but its still not nice to make the customer feel uncomfortable. We still got served with a smile.

Royal Meats BBQ is simply FANTASTIC! Service, ambience and FOOD are all on point. We stopped in after the Heritage Classic Game and were instantly WOWed by the very COOL patio in the front. It was like a tropical paradise. I am definitely visiting in the Summer time. The Food was simply incredible. I had the Truffle Burger and my buddy had the Chevaps and we shared the Grilled Calamari too. We had Fried Cheese as an app and that was soooo tasty too! I had a white Sangria and it was delish. My buddy had a couple of Stiegl beers. The Big screen TVs were a welcome sight and Im already pre planning our Grey Cup party here in November lol The Service by Katarina S was simply exceptional as well. She was professional, informative, attentive and always smiling. She was very genuine in her interaction with us. Sincere. We were never left wanting for drinks or even refilling our water glasses. Maja was also amazing as she stopped by sporadically to check on us and make certain everything was going well and we were enjoying our evening. We had the chocolate Cake for dessert (Katarinas suggestion) with a latte/espresso and it was the perfect way to end our great meal/night. It was a sweet delight! I ordered 2 Sambuca shots to toast my dear Mother (they were her favourite shot) as it was her Birthday. She passed away one year ago from Cancer. Katarina was so comforting and empathetic. It was just so touching. & they even comped the shots in remembrance of my dear Mother which they did not have to do. Royal Meats BBQ is a hidden gem in Etobicoke! I highly recommend you visit if you are in the neighbourhood. It will be well worth your time and money. You will leave feeling content and very FULL. Great job RMBB. Thank you for a most wonderful evening of dining! Ill definitely be back soon! Update April 2022: Returned to RMB with my lovely wife & everything was outstanding yet again! The food, service & mojitos were all amazing! KatarinaBz & Melicia were so attentive & friendly with their service. They checked on us throughout the evening & made sure we were pleased & satisfied-which we definitely were! The service is always on point & one of the reasons I ll be back again soon. Thank you again ladies! Great job Update. August 2023: Still AMAZING! Iryna was great with her service for my wife/I. Excellent food as always!
