Boneyard Grill

Portions here are huge and the food has always been delicious every time I’ve visited. Have tried the wings, pulled pork and brisket sandwiches in the past. Just the right amount of sauce and generous heaps of meat.
The lunch specials are the best value and I found the pulled pork sandwich to be just as big as the dinner version with a free can of pop included.
My favourite side to order are the seasoned vegetables to help balance all that meat. Whatever seasoning they put on those, it’s delicious and far from the bland veggies you get at other places.
Service has always been friendly.

If you have a large appetite and love meat, this place is for you. The portion sizes are crazy, Be prepared take some home. And by all means that is not a complaint at all. It was amazing, 4 of us went and all of us enjoyed it. I had the burger stuffed with cheese, and fries, it was incredible. The burger was cooked to perfection, juicy, flavourful, and rhe amount of cheese in the center was awesome. 3 others I was with had the phily cheesesteak, steak sandwich with mushroom and swiss and the burger in lettuce wrap. All of the were unbelievale. We were all stuffed by the end of the meal. The service was incredible, or cups did not get empty before we were offered more, we were served right away, good conversation was made, pointers were made. We had a wonderful time and will definitly be back for more. I recommend this place.

The food is always on point, and their service is also great. Perhaps on account of the fact that they are never really that busy.
My one major complaint is the lack of control over screaming children. When you have only two tables at your restaurant during a dinner rush, perhaps you should try to keep all of your guests comfortable — word of mouth means a lot. I would bet 50% of their customers don’t return due to it being more of a Chuck E Cheeze crowd than a restaurant on Avenue Road. Literally every time I have gone there (5+ times) there has been screaming children. It is not impolite to have the manager or hostess explain that the child needs to be calmed down outside. HAVING SAID THAT: any mother who is told this will probably leave a bad Unilocal review too haha. Oh well.

Terrible service. The waitress talked on the phone loudly and barely attended to our table. The wait was considerable even though there were only two tables seated during my visit. She then rushed and almost hit me in the face with the plate. The burgers here are so greasy that your bun will come soaked and falling apart before you get halfway through. The shoe string fries are tasteless and dry. You get a hearty serving but unless you feel like eating half a bottle of ketchup with them you’ll probably leave them.
Price is fair but they need to train their staff better and have a bit more pride in their product and service this has the potential to be a great spot.

I stopped in at the Boneyard Grill for an early supper. The waitress was very friendly and prompt in responding to my questions. I started with the coconut shrimp, which were very good. I especially liked the mango dipping sauce. The Philly Steak bun was quite tasty, with peppers, sautéed onions and their special BBQ sauce, which was a nice spicy-​sweet. I will certainly return!

This was our first and last trip to this resturant.
We arrived around 500pm and the resturant was empty. No one in the resturant and the waitress was laying on the bench sleeping. She did pop up pretty fast once she saw us.
Ordered an appetizer which was good. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and fries and I got the Juicy Lucy burger. Our waitress was prompt and she did her job well.
The Pulled Pork sandwich was so dry with no sauce. He did take a few bites and couldn’t eat the rest. Waitress came over and asked if everything was ok. He explained that the Pulled Pork was as dry as sandpaper. She left and the owner told us he wouldn’t be charging us for his sandwich. She offered him something else to eat or dessert.
Which was great. But at this point we both just wanted to leave.
My hamburger was amazing but we won’t be back.

Come prepared to bring home another meal! The first thing you’ll need to know is that portion sizes are absolutely massive.
I really liked the philly cheese steak sandwich I had, which I dipped in the Chipotle mayo they provided (not sure if I was supposed to!). My colleagues commented that they wish the Chipotle mayo was spicier. The onion straws had too much batter and too little onion. They’re small and hard to pick up. Next time, I’ll get the salad — the next table over received massive salads that I feel would be worth the $ 2.50 premium. Everything seems to be made fresh which is great! The unfortunate part is that it took longer since everything is so customisable (philly cheese chicken sandwch? philly cheese steak sandwich?).
The prices seem to fall around $ 10 before tax and tip. They also do weekend brunches now and were promoting it through a contest.

We’ve been to this place a couple of times. It is a ‘meat-​lovers Dream’ that is an unexpected find along this Avenue Rd. Strip.
The only thing I have personally tried off their menu is the grilled chicken burger. And while the burger is moist and flavourful, it is the buttered bun that has me drooling for more.
Their sides are large but can be hit or miss. The only one I’ve reliably enjoyed were their Frites. Otherwise, my dad has ordered and enjoyed their side salad but it is a few dollars extra.
My other favourite part of this place is that they serve offerings from ‘The Cheesecake Factory’ both my all-​time favourite the white-​chocolate raspberry but also my second fav. The Godiva chocolate cheesecake. Prior to this place opening I was travelling all the way out to Etobicoke to indulge in these savory desserts, now I just have a short distance to go.
I know they do take out and I’m pretty sure they do delivery on the weekend. But all-​in-​all, a delicious place to dine.

Great burger with heaps of toppings. the meat had flavour and also the staff was friendly.
Also ordered the ribs, it was medium sized served with lots and lots of fries. Very good BBQ flavour used in the sauce. I went in on weekday lunch special and found the prices were much lower then their dinner price. Which was a good thing.
Pretty reasonably priced for a gourmet burger joint, Most likely going to be back as I definitely wasn’t disappointed. P. S there is a bar styled table at the front of the restaurant which has open windows. Nice to get some sun and drink a cold one while on lunch

Excellent food! Great service! Fantastic portions! Fair prices! We will be back for another casual meal! Thank you!

Surprisingly impressed with this place!
Right beside my office, we decided to walk over here one lunch to check it out, not expecting much (this stretch of avenue road doesn’t have too many great options).
The prices are great and the portions, even better! Most of their lunch specials are around $ 10 and trust me, you will be stuffed. Can’t go wrong.
On my first visit I tried the lunch special: pilly cheese steak with a pop and a side for $ 10. I opted for the half-​and-​half fries for my side (half regular/​half sweet potato). Portion was HUGE and had to take half home (which re-​heated nicely btw), and quality was really good and food came out hot and fresh (and quick — a definite plus). Would definitely order again!
Have also tried the beef brisket and burger, both of which were also great ~
*Only possible downfall is that they have the really skinny ‘shoe-​string’ style fries –which I happen to love — but some of my colleagues were not fans. Other than that, it’s a great place and worth checking out if you are in the area :)

When you stumble across a restaurant with the slogan ‘Really Wicked BBQ’ you know it’s going to be good! Boneyard Grill has graced Toronto with its second location of mouth-​watering BBQ eats.
Boneyard Grill is known for their baby back ribs made with a signature secret sauce that includes over 20 ingredients passed down from an old South African family recipe. The menu also includes burgers, wings, sandwiches, salads and much more.
The new location at Yonge and Lawrence has a neighbourhood-​friendly vibe to it which is welcoming to the BBQ restaurant scene. I find a lot of the trendier BBQ joints tend to have a bit of a superior attitude and the service can be lacking. Thankfully the service at Boneyard was extremely efficient and everyone seemed genuinely interested to find out your thoughts about the food.
I ended up trying many items from the menu and was quite impressed with the flavour and quality of each dish. The wings were cooked perfectly and the meat fell right off the bone. The sliders were juicy and full of flavour and I actually ate them with no condiments, they were THAT good. The baby-​back ribs were of course my favourite. The meat was unbelievably tender and the ribs weren’t doused in powerful BBQ sauce which was nice. The fries were not my favourite which I’m ok with since I would only come here for the BBQ items anyway.
Boneyard Grill is a casual spot for the meat-​loving type and although salads and sandwiches are on the menu, you have to come here for the BBQ’d goods. Their food is reasonably priced, portions are huge, and flavour is not an issue!

I checked out their new venue with a group of foodies just after it opened. Their dipping sauces are fabulous and the pulled pork and skinny onion rings were probably my favourite things. Combine them in one bun and you have a great sandwich.

My friend and I got the pleasure of attending the grand opening of Boneyard Grill’s Toronto location near Lawrence station. The interior setup is much like a family diner, unlike most BBQ restaurants I have been to. We got to try an array of their popular dishes, notable their ribs and coconut shrimps! I have to admit, I don’t remember having ribs so delicious and tender before! The meat simply melted off the bones! My friend and I kept piling our plates with them! The pulled pork sliders and chicken wings were tasty as well, among their other menu items. Honestly, none of the food I tried disappointed me.
If Boneyard Grill opened late, I think it would be a perfect place to go to after some late-​night partying. It’s also a good family dinner if everyone is craving for some delicious BBQ! If you aren’t in the midtown area, they have their original location up in Thornhill.
