Amazing food and service. Pork belly was incredible. I also tried the burnt ends, pork ribs and brisket. You can’t go wrong here

★★★★

Got four different meats on their menu. Here are my ratings for each one: Pork Rib (top left): very solid, exactly what I was expecting 7/10 Burnt Ends (bottom left) Absolutely a MUST get. Worker said they smoke it for 20 hours which I can definitely see. Juicy, fatty, smoky and will probably take a day off your life but totally worth it. 11/10 Pork Belly (bottom right) really good, especially when paired with the homemade bbq sauce in the middle. 8/10 Sausage (top right) a very standard sausage for the price of $7, up to you if that's worth it. 6/10 Really enjoyed my meal here, but for the price of $31, I personally don't see myself coming back often

Beach Hill is my go-to for BBQ, especially the brisket. Last time I went was a disappointment because they’d sold out of burnt ends, but that’s hardly their fault. I should have gotten there earlier is all. Usually I get take-out, but it’s good to sit down occasionally. Just don’t expect fancy-shmancy fine dining. The quality of the BBQ is what carries it. Burnt ends are the sine qua non, but they’re only available on weekends. Any of the brisket sandwiches, especially the Lockhart, are worth the trip in the meantime.

The ribs were mediocre, the brisket was bad. The potato salad and coleslaw salad were also not good. We couldn't even wanted to finish the food. Also the washroom doesn't even have a trash can.

This has to be the best bbq I've had. I've been to a few bbq places and Beach Hill tops it for me. The staff is super welcoming very passionate about bbq. If I worked there, I would probably be just as excited - the food is spectacular! I got the pitmaster cookout as takeaway and it was unbelievably good. I followed the reheat instructions and it was absolute perfection! Before I left, I had to sit down for lunch and have their austin sandwich, which raised the bar for what a brisket sandwich should be. I also tried their pork belly and burnt ends and they both LITERALLY MELT IN YOUR MOUTH. These are my ranked top 5 picks. 1. burnt ends 2. brisket 3. sausage 4. pork belly 5. ribs Even though the chicken didn't make this list, it was still very good and enjoyable to eat. Honourable mention: the beans have to be my favourite side. You can tell much care went into making them.

Beach Hill Smokehouse specializes in Central Texas style BBQ where the meat is the star - seasoned with a salt pepper dry rub and slow cooked with all of the meat flavor. We got the Family Cookout: 1/2 lb of Brisket, 1 lb of Ribs, 2 Sausages, 1/2 lb Turkey, 1 large Beans, 1 large Potato Salad, and 1 large Coleslaw for $85. The food was top notch - meat was so well cooked and fell off the bone. Everything was seasoned perfectly and I didn't feel the need to douse everything in BBQ sauce. Friendly service as well - I'm definitely going to return as a regular!

This is the Best BBQ Ive had in this city, ever. The Deviled Egg Potato Salad is literally the only potato salad I have ever loved and eaten by the spoonful. The ribs are nice and big, Ive never ever had a bad food experience.

Extremely disappointed. None of the food is made on site. Everything was lukewarm when served, overly salty and way too expensive for what you get. Burnt ends and brisket tasted good but the ribs and wings were terrible. The Mac was bland as well. I wouldn t come back here. They give a free pop in exchange for a review which makes me think that s how the reviews are higher here.

I went here for my birthday - I have so many extreme food allergies, its difficult for me to find places I can eat at. Pitmaster Darien and his staff went the extra mile to make sure my allergies were accommodated, going so far as to speak with me by phone to make a menu plan and make sure I could have something special for my birthday in advance. It was a simple Brisket and potato, and I tell you, it was the best brisket Ive ever had in my life - tender, juicy and so flavorful. One bite and I was having a religious experience. Id last had authentic Texas BBQ over a year ago, when the place I was going to far outside the city shut down - this was even better, and in the city. My friends and I were very impressed with the food and the service. Thanks to Darien and his staff for being so accommodating - my friends and I will definitely be coming back, as I plan on being a repeat customer. If youre looking for real Texas BBQ in Toronto with excellent service, look no further. Beach Hill is the real deal, with the best brisket Ive ever tasted. Go to any of their locations, you wont be disappointed. Dietary restrictions: Darien and his staff are happy to accommodate those with allergies - please email them or call the Beaches location in advance.

Im not sure why this place gets such standout reviews. A friend recommended the brisket sandwich combo, which for around $20 comes with a side and a drink. I chose the Mac and Cheese, and was thoroughly disappointed. The cheese sauce was fine, but the macaroni itself was overcooked and mushy. As for the sandwich, I cant review it fully because I was told they were out of sauce. Even though the sauce may have made the sandwich better, the brisket was cold and too peppery, even for a salt and pepper rub. The only redeeming factor of the sandwich was the rib they add on top, which was both hot and delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant doesnt lend itself to dine-in, and is both small and not decorated much. Overall, I would recommend a different BBQ spot, such as Barque, on Roncy.

★★★★★
September 22, 2024

I try to give 5 stars sparingly, to any business, but this smokehouse is outstanding. Had a brisket sandwich that blew my mind (you ll want extra BBQ sauce I say) and a sample of all the other meat options that are sure to make just as satisfying of a meal/sandwich. I spent under $20 and had a full belly w/ left overs. Proper BBQ.

I stopped in at the Bloor location. The food is incredible. Smoked beans had a whiskey like tinge on top of great tasting beans. The Coleslaw was fresh and light. I ordered brisket from the fatty side, but for those counting calories, you can get it from the lean side. Its a little expensive, but where else will you get a meal like this? I will definitely be back. The washroom, whats the cleanest ive seen on Bloor Street.

I needed a dinner for 8 people and Darien was great at helping me figure out what and how much to serve. The brisket and ribs were awesome and definitely the hit of the party. There was just enough left over for a brisket sandwich the next day. Darien gave me instructions on how to keep food warm until time to serve and helped me to the car with the goods. A great experience. Definitely recommend!!

The service was friendly and fast, they gave me recommendations and let me sample the brisket. The ribs and brisket were tender, juicy and had a delicious, well seasoned bark. You can really taste the smokiness. I got half a pound of each meat and it was a big portion for two people. Ill definitely be coming back to try more of the meats and sides!

I ordered a meal for two which was a half chicken 1/2 lbs of brisket, sausages, and deliciously tasting ribs +3 sides. The meal for two with taxes was $90+ but it was well worth it. I also want to say thank you to the staff for being Very friendly and helpful. They help me decide what I should try /buy as a first time guest. And now I will be a repeat visitor.

So, Im kind of a barbecue enthusiast. With two barbecues and two smokers in my backyard, plus a Big Kahuna cylinder smoker, Ive dedicated countless all-nighters to a large hunk of meat. Thats why when I say Beachill Smoke is the best smokehouse in the greater Toronto area, I really mean it. Their brisket is so tender and moist that its dangerously easy to overindulge. Trust me, Ive been to smokehouses all over Texas, Kansas, the Carolinas, you name it and this place is as authentic as it gets.

I contacted Beach Hill to cater a 50th birthday party celebration. I spoke with Daria to co-ordinate the food order and he is an absolute ROCK STAR to deal with, extremely personable and professional. Rafiq is a scholar and gentleman when it came to preparing and filling the order. The quality and taste of the food it was fantastic. Many of the guests and most especially the birthday person are full blown Ribfest aficionados and they were more than satisfied with all offerings of Beach Hill. I would not hesitate to use their services again or eat there for dinner. They are simply the best BBQ joint in the hood!!!

Absolutely delicious meats (pause). Coming from the United States, we are all too familiar with great barbecue. It was a surprise to find Texas BBQ in the city of Toronto. I currently live in Buffalo, New York but have traveled through Texas and try different types of barbecue. To be totally honest with you, this has to be the best smoke meats I have ever tasted in my life without barbecue sauce on it . Professionalism is superb and theyre bloor street location was very spotless. If youre in Toronto you must try the food of this place. You will not be disappointed Parking: Parking may be a little tricky, but you kind of expect that in a metropolitan city. Once you find a parking space, let the feast begin.

I visited Beach Hill Smokehouse here in High Park back in October 2022. I had ordered the Big D Sandwich with a side of Mac n Cheese. I also got the Banana Pudding. I didnt write a review after this trip, but let me tell you it left me wanting to visit again soon. Fast forward to April 2023 and I was in the area and wanted lunch and I stopped in again for some great BBQ, let me tell you the staff went above and beyond with their customer service and their true and genuine passion for the craft of making some excellent barbeque.

My son recommended and took me for my birthday. The brisket tasted like charcoal lighter fluid. Terrible. When we complained I got a free dessert. Refund would have been better. Spent about $100. Never again. Worst birthday ever. It smelled too much of smoke inside the place. Nauseating.

Tried some brisket slices. I got the cuts in the middle, so mostly were flat meat with a very thin layer of point meat on the top. They were very delicious, being smokey, well seasoned/cooked, and tender with enough moisture. Some nitpicks: 1) the first bite that I had turned into a very weird taste. Perhaps from the smoke flavor, not sure what wood was being used. After getting used to that, they tasted okay though. 2) the fat cap was too thick -- wished it could be trimmed . Overall, the brisket was quite good. Id recommend.

The food is far from Texas BBQ. I dont think they have ever been to Texas. However, the poblano coleslaw is the best I have ever had hands down!!! All their food is a bit pricey, but the slaw is worth every penny!!

My partner and I unexpectedly wandered into this lovely space to be greeted by a very friendly and helpful person. He explained the meat selections and options with whit and knowledge. We ordered ribs, chicken wings, baked beans, coleslaw and corn bread.. All were so delicious with many flavours and tastes. Generous portions to share for us both to feel quite full! Thank you so much for the delicious late lunch/early dinner feast

The team at Beach Hill Smokehouse are fantastic! I ve eaten from here on a few occasions and each time I ve really enjoyed the food. I decided to get catering (mac and cheese, brisket and baked beans) for my Canada Day bbq and it was a hit- everyone loved the food. Highly recommend checking out their restaurants or getting them to cater!

Though I have not been to this particular location, I am very familiar with Beach Hill Smokehouse from one of the other locations. The food is absolutely delicious!! Authentic Texas BBQ that will satisfy your BBQ craving. From the mac and cheese, to the brisket (dont forget the fantastic BBQ sauce) to the potato salad, to the ribs, and more - there are a variety of options for you to choose from. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the personable, attentive service will make you feel both welcomed, and cared for. I highly recommend Beach Hill Smokehouse for a taste of authentic Texas BBQ.

Beach Hill Smokehouse totally made our BBQ last Saturday! We were having a bit of a family reunion last Saturday, with family members coming from across Canada to celebrate a new addition to the family and reconnect after a long hiatus with Covid. We wanted it to be special, but also had a very busy work week and first week at camp for our son. I wasn t exactly sure how much of everything to order, so I contacted them through their website and Darien contacted me back right away, set up a call and called me that evening. I explained that there would be 14 people and that I wanted everyone to be able to try (and maybe have seconds) of everything. He helped me navigate the order/weights of everything and we got the order put together. (I will add, he did this while on vacation in Florida. He wanted to make sure himself that I got proper customer service.) We ordered the burnt ends, the brisket, the homemade sausage, the smoked ribs, the baked beans and the house made BBQ sauce. They have a bunch of amazing sides too, but I was already making Jalapeñ and cheddar cornbread, bacon & egg potato salad, Caesar salad and Mac & Cheese, so I was mostly looking for them to provide all of the meat. The next day, Rafiq called me on the nose, I paid over the phone and the order was packed perfectly & ready on time for pick-up. The BBQ was a showstopper. Everyone was so excited when we did the big reveal. The meat was tender, smoky and the perfect temperature. People were torn over their favourite, it was all a hit. Even the baked beans (which - to be honest - aren t usually my jam), were fantastic! Not too sweet, just the right amount of savoury. Not only did everyone have seconds (or thirds), I had more than enough to send everyone home with a takeaway package with enough of everything for another meal. Darien also called me to do a follow up (while still on vacation) to make sure we were happy with everything. Rare to find such helpful and committed customer service. Can t recommend Beach Hill Smokehouse enough!

Being generous with a second star only to acknowledge the friendly and helpful attitude of the gentleman working behind the counter. I would concede that it may have been a bad day all around, considering the very enthusiastic reviews here. However my experience was quite different. About the only good thing I could say about the food is that the Pepsi was chilled. The sandwiches were dry and all we ended up tasting was the sauce. The salads were worse than any supermarket offering one can buy! No second time round for me!

Man, I am so glad this place opened up in my area. The burnt ends and smoked brisket were out of this world. The flavours were that perfect traditional southern BBQ, and the meat was tender and succulent. The gentleman serving us was extremely friendly and welcoming, you could tell he s really passionate about what he does, which made for all of the better experience.

Unfortunately, my sister and I had a very bad experience at this location. They had only 1-2 items from each group so it was very limited and seemed like they wanted to sell whatever was left, 2 hours before it closed. What was more disappointing was that the food was not even close to mid also it was super cold. Bread was not toasted, meat was not warmed up, and the mac&cheese was so dry and flavorless. We ordered the ribblets which were suggested to be a great choice, turned out to be dry meat with lots of sauce. I spent $43 for a handful of food; the price blew me away.

I was there for lunch. I ordered pork ribs ( bones), a coslaw, and a bean plus one pop. These cost me $42. I got the ribs on an aluminum tray covered with a piece of meat paper. Beside a spoon of bbq sauce (on the paper) and coslaw and beam in foam containers with plastic fork and knife. I think for these, the $42 was really pricey. The food was good but nothing special. I had better at another place for half price. The service is simple, because there is no table service. I dont think I will go back again.

An Awesome little American Barbeque joint that s sells all meats by the pound if you desire. Their brisket is the Star!!! Their original Barbeque sauce is outstanding. Located surprisingly in Bloor West Village. Order a pound of brisket, a half pound of ribs, and try the sausages or famous Burnt ends brisket. The banana pudding was an excellent finisher. Outstanding service

I have been following Beach hill on Instagram for 3 years and finally found the time to order ahead and pick up a TON of food for a birthday celebration. Every single item of food I got was perfect, and I truly mean that. I got the Jurassic Park platter, extra brisket, and a beef rib and got zero complaints at the party. Everyone was praising how good this Texas BBQ was. Keep in mind as well, Ive tried just about every other Texas BBQ place in Toronto at this point and Beach Hill might be the best. This specific location is their second location, which is considered a Cut location. They recieved food shipments every morning from the kitchen location further in Toronto, so they have a more limited supply but still the same great food, nothing is lacking at this second location. The service while picking up was immaculate. The fellow working the afternoon I went was so kind, he was allowing me to try each piece as he was slicing and putting my order together, and he was engaging and answering all my questions while doing so. And finally the price... its pretty reasonable! For a half pound of brisket, it will run you 15 dollars. Compared to other Texas BBQ places in Toronto is on the cheaper side. I spent $230 on all the items and I fed 7 people the night of and still had lunch leftovers for the next day!

Came in pretty late in the day so most stuff has already been sold out, so I settled for bits and bobs. Ribs were nicely seasoned, if a bit salty from all the meat juices dripping on the last rack throughout the day, but it was still tender and toothsome, not falling of the bone. Brisket got a nice bark, tender and succulent, and the sausage was plump, juicy and well spiced. For at the end of the day meat? Really good. Id give them a 8.6/10, and willing to bet that if you come earlier, itd be at least a 9. Had a nice conversation with Rafiq the slicer about Texan bbq and was blown away by his friendly demeanor, knowledge and exceptional service. If you are in the area and want bbq, swing by, but go early, I say from when they open to 1400-1500 or so. I went in at 1800 and most of the stuff are already sold out.

Had the Ribs. The food was cold. I expected fall of the bones ribs, this was not it. It was dry and tough. Mac & Cheese tasted like from a packet without flavor and there was nothing southern about it. The beans were tasty. Staff was friendly but like McDonalds, there really isnt any service. We were served on a brown paper and plastic containers like the ones at Bulk Barn. As this was a sharing meal I was surprised, in todays age, this establishment expects 2 or more people to eat from the same container as there was nothing to serve the shared portion into (think double dipping). I understand the need for business to minimise expenses but this is like several people eating from the same ice cream container at an event.

Melt off the bone and perfectly seasoned bbq! We loved the sandwich and rib along with potato salad! It was so melt in the mouth and scrumptious. The prices are so good and the quality of meat is really nice. My only preference would be to not dab into the extra sauce on the side as it felt overwhelmingly sweet!! This was a different style of potato salad (not mayo based) and I was pleasantly surprised. The place was post lunch rush hour and so there was no one else there but the music seemed a little too loud for that. But it wasn t a big thing. They don t have a smoker or kitchen here but get the food delivered from their kitchen and serve here; considering that it was still so good!

The Smoked Barbecue Chicken is to die for. My father is obsessed with the baked beans (and he is very hard to please). The ribs are also great, but the chicken is my fave. This place does not have the atmosphere of other barbecue places in Toronto (e.g. Barque), their products are excellent. Highly recommended.

Tastes like lighter fluid or propane gas. The brisket is tender nonetheless. The macaroni was overcooked. Chicken was decent; loved the potato salad. Nice server. There is no washroom sign. I would also recommend wiping off the scale between use or laying a paper down. He weighed our food on a scale a little caked with meat residue. My mother ended up with a stomach ache and it was the only thing we had eaten all day.

I recently visited Branch Hill Smoke House and was thoroughly impressed! The Texas BBQ here is authentic, boasting smoky flavors that genuinely transport you to the Lone Star State. The brisket is exceptionally tender, with a perfect bark that melts in your mouth. Ribs come with just the right amount of char, and the homemade sauces complement the meats beautifully without overpowering them. Sides are also a hit the potato salad and cornbread are must-tries. Service is friendly, adding to the warm, rustic ambiance of the place. For BBQ aficionados, this spot is a must-visit. Cant wait to return!

I dont come to Toronto often. But I know I am coming back to Beach Hill Smokehouse next time. It was spectacular! The meats are well cooked and delicious. Ive tried their brisket, ribs, and chicken. Its all fall-off-the-bone goodness. Ive never had barbeque quite like this. Their sauces are the perfect accompaniment too. Lastly they have a wonderful selection of sides as well. I particularly liked the potato salad and mac and cheese. I highly recommend this restaurant. The only problem I have with it, is that its not closer to Buffalo. But its worth the 2 hour drive.
