The food was absolutely delicious and our host was awesome! Barbecue full flavour, tender and juicy. Looking forward to our next visit.

Would be nice if they paid their suppliers. Delivered a load of hardwood firewood in early December and still have not received payment. They were happy with the wood. They asked us about delivery to their other restaurant. They tried to place another order a month later, I reminded them about the previous balance still owing. I have sent reminders, I received back: oops I’m sorry, completely forgot, will send money. Now 3 months later the owner Scott is completely ghosting me.

Delicious! I need to go back and try everything else on the menu. Every piece had its own unique, mouthwatering flavour. Heated patio was super cute, and we sat there without jackets on a very cold day - highly recommend!

Great old school southern restaurant!...first time customers, so we had to ask our friendly server Tricia for some hints on what to order, and we were not disappointed with her suggestion of the "pig in a black dress" platter, side order of ribs. The brisket, in particular, was outstanding! We will definitely be back, when next in the area.

We were so excited to see that Hogtown Smoke on Queen St survived the pandemic!! We managed to hit the patio a little while ago and the poor woman that runs the place had just had her place broken in too and trashed the day before.The owner is such a kind and caring person and will do anything to accommodate whatever you’d like from her. We drive down from Oshawa all the time and always enjoy the food. Unfortunately no pictures…she made us the old school kitchen sink fries and we inhaled them and I had an order of wings. They were plump and juicy and lots of flavour and hubby had the smash burger (was a little salty for him) along with an order of their homemade Mac and cheese and their amazing purple slaw.Can’t wait until the weather is a little warmer and we can sit outside again. Keep up the great work we know managing this pandemic hasn’t been easy ❤️

Love the food and the staff are very friendly. The Ribs, Briskit and the family sharing meals are all fantastic. Never had a bad experience, cant wait to enjoy the great meal again. Anyone who wants classic BBQ look no further.

Ordered from here via Uber Eats tonight. We purchased ribs, brisket, chicken wings, coleslaw, and mac & cheese balls.If 3* is a completely average restaurant experience, I have to give Hogtown Smoke 2* as slightly below average.The price you pay does not get you the quality you expect. Everything was inexcusably dry, to the point where you're having to aggressively gnaw at the bones to separate them from the meat (when you could even get it all off), and the brisket needed a sip of water to help get it down. I don't think I've had BBQ this dry anywhere in Toronto. It's such a shame because I think the seasoning and flavour was otherwise among the best.We deviated from our usual BBQ place (Beach Hill Smokehouse - amazing btw) because we were intrigued by the Mac & Cheese Balls. They were actually really tasty so this part of the order we don't regret.The only thing we ordered that was truly bad was the coleslaw. I really don't understand this slaw at all. It's an extremely sour vinegar slaw that tastes strongly of plums or prunes or something. I really don't know how coleslaw can go so wrong.

Seriously dirty place; Table, floors, bathroom. Winter time and the ductless AC was dripping. The macaroni salad has zero flavour, the red slaw had vinegar on it. That's it. The bun for brisket was a cheap white gushy hamburger bun. Seriously needs a good clean and a new cook with some tastebuds. Terrible lunch.
Hands down the worst smoked pork I've had the misfortune of ordering. I ordered on Uber eats and the food came with missing items, everything tasted of burnt grease and the food was extremely cold, soggy and poor quality. I think it is a good place to try if you are planning to lose weight, it kills your appetite so badly you can't eat anything for days

$18 for a brisket baddie that was smaller then my hand. My daughters grilled cheese was bigger then my burger
