STACK

Had the ultimate platter — it had lots of different great stuff. A lot of fries so could have used a little more meat but super tasty. You need to get the mini donuts for dessert!

Grabbed takeout from this restaurant so I can’t comment on the service. I can say, however, that the staff was very friendly when we showed up to pick up our meal. BF and I ordered: JD Brisket & Burger, Double Grilled Cheese & Bacon Burger, and some Oreos Donuts for dessert.
All I can say is… holy moly! The fat kid in me was jumping for joy with each bite of our order. The brisket burger was so flavorful and juicy, and the grilled cheese burger was a buttery cheesy mess. When I first saw the grilled cheese burger I was worried they had skimped on the cheese but nope, the darn thing came together really well.
And the donuts…*drool drool*. I would go back just for another order of donuts. A box of little golden ooey gooey rings for $ 8? Works for me haha.
TLDR; good burgers, GREAT donuts… nuff said.

Love my bbq.
Friendly service …
Good portions, I was quite full not enough room for desert. Had the beef brisket… was tender and juicy. My daughter had the chicken… she found it a bit dry and wanted my brisket.
Will be going back with the rest of the family. Seems to be peanut allergy friendly…

Wanted to take my boyfriend somewhere different and I remember coming her a couple years ago and I enjoyed it.
So he ordered the half pound beef brisket and I ordered the jalapeño cheddar burger. Both were fantastic, yes my bun was slightly soggy none the less still enjoyable.
The service was wonderful! Cassandra was great, gave great suggestions.
I know for sure my boyfriend loved it and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you.

Came here for dinner once and had «the platter», two adults and two kids to share.
It was more than we could eat. It was very tasty and fresh, all meats were prepared to perfection. Service was two stars, it seemed the girl wasn’t having a good day.
Also came once for lunch and service was great, fast, food was good (ribs).
The place is beautiful, bathrooms are clean.

Super yummy. Excellent service. Would come back again.
Not the best BBQ I’ve even had in Toronto, but this was a great option for lunch with friends and my 9 month old daughter. One of these things you don’t notice until you’ve had a child, but this place was very family friendly. High chairs available, water in plastic cups for the kids, a kids menu if needed with crayons and such, change tables in the bathrooms.
And yet, it’s still trendy enough to make me want to check it out. Food was really good, lots to choose from, and will have me coming back again. I got the Chipotle burger, and it was super tasty, with a juicy half pound burger and all sorts of toppings. A little messy to eat, but tasty. Sides are separate to order, but are full portions. Husband ordered the Smoked Chicken, he really liked it. It was huge.
For dessert, I was insistent on trying their signature donuts. You get 16 little fried doughnuts covered in the toppings of your choice. It was hard to choose between this and their milkshakes.
Yum. good choice.

I’ll start by saying I really love BBQ meats, all types, whatever way you wish to prepare them as long as they taste great.
I’ve visited Stack twice before writing this review to make sure I have a taste of as much as they offer.
Sadly, I have to say that my favorite thing on the plate is the beans. They’re awesome and I really enjoyed them. That’s kind of sad for a BBQ restaurant. The mashed potatoes were pretty good as well.
On to the meats:
Brisket: ³⁄₅ A little dry, a little under-​seasoned, no smoke ring, just OK.
Ribs: ³⁄₅ Not cooked long enough as they didn’t separate perfectly, not a huge fan of the sauce, and really, I had better ribs from amateurs.
Chicken: ²⁄₅ Skin was soggy and nasty where it should have been crunchy and amazing, bland chicken meat as if it wasn’t seasoned properly, and the inside of the chicken was as tasteless as you could possibly make it.
The service here is very friendly and the beer selection is great. This is the reason I didn’t go for ²⁄₅ stars instead.

I went to Stack last night with a group of 4. The service was decent, the food was also decent. Thing is I’ve been to much better Smokehouses which is why I’m only giving this a 3 star rating.
We had:
Spinach salad — ⁴⁄₅
The ultimate platter ³⁄₅. Some of the meats were excellent some were just okay. It was a ton of food and a great value. 5 types of meat, cole slaw side, baked beans and loads of fries. I’ll review each meat:
Ribs — ⁵⁄₅ amazing
Chicken −2÷5 dry, not smokey enough. Needed sauce.
Smoked meat — ⁴⁄₅
Brisket −3÷5 this wasn’t marinated long enough and needed sauce. The strips were quite dry. The fatty part was good.
Pulled pork −1÷5 dry and flavourless. Not at all smokey.
The Cole slaw was delicious. For desert we had the donuts and they were warm and delicious. ⁵⁄₅
If you come here I suggest you resist the platter and just get the ribs.

It’s really difficult to find a good barbeque restaurant that is not in the downtown core. Sure traffic on Yonge isn’t that much better, but still something I’d gladly pick over the nightmare that is the finance district.
Getting reservations at this restaurant was very difficult when it first opened. The first few times, when arriving after 8, they would be sold out of the brisket and pulled pork. The owner came by to apologize about the meat inventory and overall I was very happy with the service. They have now done a lot better at managing their food supply and so far they have not run out anything even coming in as late as 9 with a group of friends.
For people who have never been to this restaurant, I would recommend the platter. It is a massive tray of food that can feed about 4 people depending if you like fries. What’s great about it is that you can get to try pretty much all the signature meats without breaking your wallets.
The platter comes with following:
Lots of fries — can choose from garlic parm, regular fries, or sweet potato
Half a chicken
Full rack of ribs
Pulled pork
Slices of Brisket
Smoked Meat
They have a selection of sauces with JD BBQ being the most popular. I would go with what the server recommends and I’m sure the owner wouldn’t mind dropping in to give his take on it (he knows his bbq).
Aside from the meat, the sweet potato fries are fried perfectly. It is never oily and for you sweet potato lovers, the platter comes with about 4 serving of fries. Their shakes are ridiculously good, more on the thick side made with ice cream rather than just milk. I would recommend sharing one as one these full sized shakes can easily knock you out.
The burgers taste great, but aren’t mind blowing in anyway. If you like burgers, you won’t be disappointed (or left hungry), but you won’t be amazed either. It is also important to note that the burgers don’t come with sides.
Overall great experience, comfy seats, very social accommodating staff and most importantly great BBQ that is not downtown.

The food and service were great! I of course got the ribs because I’m a human being and not an insane person. This place was really busy so I’d recommend making a reservation if you’re going for dinner. They serve Flying Monkey draught which made my heart happy but unfortunately the bathroom is downstairs which can be annoying once you’ve had a few and therefore have to use the little girl’s room more frequently — and cardio is horrible, you know? But I mean — I had ribs so I should probably burn those off so you can still see mine.

I came here on a Thursday night and was disappointed to find that the reservation I made the evening prior did not show up; I was told that the wait would be 20 – 25 minutes for a table. no problem. The wait ended up to be around 45 minutes.
When we finally got seated. we ordered the Smores and Shaketender Surprise shakes (both very delicious, but slightly pricey for $ 7!).
For food we ordered the half pound jalepeno cheddar sausage, ultimate platter (indicates feeds 3 – 5) and a stack of ribs. for 6 people. The wait for the food took some time (I guess that explained the long wait time, or I was just hungry).
The jalepeno sausage has a kick to it, very delicious, served with grainy mustard.
The Ultimate Platter was the best value, it comes with a sample of all the meats (beef brisket, smoked meat, pulled pork, chicken and ribs). we upgraded to sweet potato fries for an extra $ 5. so worth it. a huge mountain of it! The ribs were my favourite meat and the mac & cheese that comes with it was amazing. so creamy and cheesey. wish there was a bigger portion! I asked for some chipotle ranch sauce for the sweet potato fries and was surprised to see at the end of my meal that I was charged an extra $ 1 for it. no big deal, just wished I was given a heads up.
We ended up taking home half the rack of ribs along with some meat scraps here and there from the platter. we could probably have done without the extra stack of ribs.
The old-​fashioned donuts were served fresh and warm… mmm!
At the end of our meal, the owner came to apologize for the reservation mixup; overall, the staff are very friendly. will be back!

One word
AMAZING!!!
I love my BBQ but this place has definitely won me over
Always get the brisket fries and they were super yummo
Brisket literally melts in your mouth
Had the Texas brisket sandwich and the best brisket burger
Delish…but can be messy but this BBQ folks
Gotta get messy
Went with friends and they loved it as well
Also tried the donuts for dessert
Super delish
Would recommend this place for BBQ to anybody
BlogTO was not wrong bout this place!!!

Great food. Very nice portions the smoked brisket was amazing and Andrea have us very good service.
We will come again for sure

Great selection of foods. Mac and cheese the noodles were cooked just right and the sauce was creamy and delicious.
Service was great and made sure that our table always had what we need. The bench seats in the booth is movable and it was quite annoying having to deal with it shifting around. The kitchen is open to view as is the charcoal pit, but because of the long elongated shape of the restaurant, few people have a chance to see it.

The ribs and brisket are DELICIOUS! Definitely get the chipotle JD bbq sauce.
A little pricey but very tasty

The ultimate platter ($ 75)
This platter serves 3 – 5 people, I shared this among 4 people including myself with leftovers. Starting from the center is the bbq ribs. There were 2 racks, each half approximately 5 pieces. Below it to the left is the chicken breast marinated in their house peppercorn sauce. Not sure why the sauce was yellow, but the chicken tasted dry. The bottom left was the smoked meat, beside it was the pulled pork, and beside that was the beef brisket. My favorite wad the ribs. The meat was so soft and tender, not the slide off the bone kind but the fall off the bone kind when you bite into it. The pulled pork sauce was spicy hot, i really liked that kick of heat. The beef brisket was tender too. It originally came with normal fries but we upgraded to sweet potatoe fries which was really good — it was double fried crispy. The mac and cheese was nothing special, slightly tasteless imo. The platter was slighty pricey for the amount of meat but its worth it to try all their meats. I would come back for the ribs.

If its your first time– get the ultimate platter. ($ 84) Feeds about 3 – 4 respectfully. Bbq pulled pork was the best thing on the platter, ribs are great as well as the mac n cheese. Wasn’t a fan of the chicken seasoning but none the less– a delicious experience. Good service, fun atmosphere, would definitely go again.

I love going to Stack for their ultimate platter. It’s the best thing for a small group (I’m usually in a group of 4 – 5 people) and it gives you a bit of everything. The sauces are amazing, the meat is always tender, and their staff are very friendly and casual. They have a pretty good selection of beer on tap as well. Definitely try the ultimate platter if it’s your first time! You won’t be disappointed!

Sunday cravings for southern BBQ brought my boyfriend and I here for dinner last night.
What we ate:
— Smoked Baby Back Ribs Dinner (Stack size — full ribs) with Chipotle JD BBQ sauce ($ 30) — comes with smoky molasses beans, slaw and fresh cut fries/​mash potatoes. Substitutions were granted; we replaced the fresh cut fries/​mash potatoes with a garden salad instead. Ribs were absolutely delicious, the meat wasn’t overly saucy and every piece had fall off the bone meat. We went with the server’s recommendation of Chipotle BBQ sauce; sauce was smoky in flavor and incredibly mouthwatering.
— Half Pound Texas Brisket Dinner with Carolina Sauce (mild spicy) ($ 18) — also comes with smoky molasses beans, slaw and fresh cut fries/​mash potatoes. The proteins comprised of four generous slices of Brisket lightly drizzled in Carolina Sauce, another one of the server’s recommendations. The Carolina sauce is mildly smoky with a little spicy kicker at the end. My boyfriend who doesn’t usually do spice would agree with me and say the Carolina sauce is approximately a ²⁄₅ on the spice meter.
Summary:
Food (¹⁰⁄₁₀) — Stack has their southern smoking on point. Protein and side portions were generous and food was brought out in a respectable time.
Service (⁹⁄₁₀) — Would have liked our waters topped up more frequently, but otherwise our server was friendly and well versed with his sauce recommendations.
Atmosphere (¹⁰⁄₁₀) — Family friendly, big tables and booths, roomy restaurant, 2 levels of seating available, open kitchen for viewing pleasure.
ProTip: Entertainment — Ask to speak to Tim, the Manager if you want to hear the story about the man who regularly orders the Ultimate Platter (feeds 3 – 5) with a side of fried Donuts for one… yes, I said for One. Also ask about his record breaking consumption of the Stack Challenge in under 13 minutes.
Eat here.

Stack did not stack up to the other reviews. Very average.
The brisket dinner was more like a plate of French fries with a side of brisket. It’s not that anything was bad. In fact the baked beans were amazing and so was the coleslaw. However this is a BBQ joint and the brisket was average.
