The Best Ribs in Toronto
“These dry ribs are spot-on, spectacular even. The spice rub has a perfectly amalgamated blend of earthy notes, savoury and finishes on the palate as sweet.”
earlscourtbbq.com, $28
“The ribs are meaty and the seasoning is pleasant — I would just like to see even more of it.” mattssmokehouse.ca, $23
“This is a very good rib. The sauce is bright and tangy... The pork is very juicy and well seasoned.” smokeshowbbqandbrew.com, $20
“The ribs are thick and meaty; good quality meat is apparent. The sauce is thinner than I'd prefer.” kansasking.com, $18.95
“This rib is dripping, smothered in a really very smoky sauce. It’s visually appealing.” artofbbq.ca, $25
