“ My girlfriend and I just got off of a long and painful flight into Toronto. All we wanted was some nice food and we happened to stumble across BBQ House. Their service and greeting was phenomenal and helped us ease into a comfortable and colourful atmosphere immediately. Our waitress was very excited to tell us about the New Years special promotion and helped us get situated with swift efficiency. The food that followed was even better than the greeting. We completely forgot about our travel troubles and began feasting on the great flavours and textures of the meat skewers and our amazing lamb stew. If you’re in the middle of travel and need a great lunch or dinner spot, give these guys a try. ”

The cheese corn is a fun addition, and I had to try their famous sweet and sour pork (Guobaorou)—definitely worth it. Plus, with my $66+ bill, I got to enter a draw for a Nintendo Switch. Can you guess what I won? Great food, fun vibes, and a little surprise! ”
