“This is a great little gem in Toronto's Junction neighborhood. The brunch was delicious. We had the specials. Their home fries are the most unique and delicious fries I have ever eaten. They also have a cool waitlist option that they use to seat their guests. The servers are very polite and friendly.“

“It was decent fried chicken, but I've had better. The chicken bites were great with the sauces.

The service was relatively quick and the people were friendly.

The seating area had some weird wooden fence around every table which honestly just made things cramped for no reason. It made it annoying to get sit down and get out.“

“This was my first time trying Hank Daddy’s Barbecue, and I ordered through Uber Eats! I got the Mac Daddy, which I customized with chopped brisket, along with the Picnic Platter for Two. The platter comes with pulled pork, beef brisket, sausage, and four sides. I chose baked beans, cornbread, regular smoked sausage, fatty brisket, and pulled pork with ribs on the side.

I really enjoyed the mac and cheese with the brisket! However, I think sticking with the pulled pork would’ve been the better decision. Regardless, I loved it and can’t wait to try it with pulled pork next time!

My other favourite was the brisket, with pulled pork coming in third. The pork was extremely tender and moist, never dry. The brisket was delicious, but I’ll probably choose the leaner option next time because there was a little too much fat, even for me!

The sausage was just okay, the cornbread wasn’t anything special, and the baked beans were good enough to reorder. The ribs were my least favourite meat. They weren’t bad, just not memorable.

Overall, I’d rate my experience an 8.5/10! They forgot my rolls, which was disappointing. I’ll definitely return, hopefully in person, and recommend giving them a try!“
