butchers block bbq

great ribs. went there last saturday, friendly staff and good food, had theribsand pork both were excellent. my wife had the veggie burger and she enjoyed it too

we will be back for sure, thanks

i always see this place across the street everytime i go for ice cream at glenburn soda. finally got the chance to try it.

it was delicious and i loved it. enjoyed it much more than memphis blues.

my only regret was not getting their ribs. sitting at the table beside the kitchen, we saw all the orders ahead of us... and boy did thoseribslook deadly. will definitely be coming back to try those next time!

local bbq. we finally had a chance to try out burgers etc today. funnily enough rainbow crab did not try a burger. she had the smothered fries with pulled pork. she loved it, she ate every french fry on her plate and for someone who does not love bbq sauce she raved. it is a sweeter, tomato based sauce with a good kick to it.
i had the combo, which happen to be on sale! 13.99$ for 2 meats fries and coleslaw.( the usual price is 16.99$.
i got porkribsand beef brisket. i really enjoyed it. i too loved this sauce. ( i liked this sauce better than the sauce at hog shack) but i like the brisket at hog shack better. theribswere spareribs, the meat came off the bone, and had a great bark and good chew to them.
we will go back for sure, and we both want to try the burgers.

decent bbq joint. had the daily special with 2 different meats. theribswere good, smoky and sticky but weren't very meaty unfortunately. i also had a rib end that was very dried out. all in all however the food was a nice change of pace. i will never complain about smoked meats!

service is great. theribsare juicy and meaty. i hate gettingribsthat are mostly fat and bone. the burgers are also delicious, although i wish they werent so pricy.

hidden gem. was looking for something different and scanned urbanspoon and decided to give this place a try. we are glad we did. small place and if you arrive during meal hours expect to wait. we got there early and sat down right away. we ordered rib combo with beef brisket. it came with fries and baked beans. my gal had the mushroom cheese burger. the orders only took about 15 minutes and was worth it. there was to go orders being handled at the same time and it didn't make a difference. theribswere tasty and just the right amount of spice and crispness. the brisket was very tasty and very tender. fries and beans were all good. my gals burger was stacked and she seemed to enjoy the beef burger. with a lemon aid and a root beer, the bill was $37. service was just fine and i have no complaints. we will be back again.

good value, but food could be better. the restaurant gave generous portions and it was pretty good value. taste wise, although theribswere tender it needed more seasoning and sauces as it tasted a bit plain. the beef brisket was near perfect: tender, juicy, and flavourful. however, the sides have a lot of room for improvement as i found them to be quite bland. the combo platter also came with fries in addition to the 2 sides. the fries were mediocore with some burnt and over done.

things have changed .. i ordered the chicken/rib combo and got one very dry drumstick and two dryribsslathered in sauce. ($18bucks) my husband got the burger and thought it was good. they say they deliver but don't believe it. won't be back for bbq but maybe for burgers.

came on a sat evening around 5:30pm, first time. tried the ect sampler for $40 but wasn't impressed, only liked theribsand pulled pork. side dishes of corn, beans, and coleslaw was good but all in all not worth it. saw everyone else order burgers so might do that next time if i ever come back.

favourite burger joint. probably my favourite burgers in the city. huge and tasty. goodribstoo. would probably eat there every other day if i could afford it.

meat yes, staff yes, sides no. we'd been hearing about this place since moving to the area. last saturday we wanted something quick, good, and moderately priced, so away we went.

first of all, the staff - loved them! for a place that serves most of their meals in red plastic baskets, the staff was great! they checked on us without hovering, made sure we had whatever we wanted, and when i asked about our waitresses' accent, had a lovely chat that wasn't too short, wasn't too long, and generally made us feel as if she was happy to have talked to us. the guys doing the cooking were just as personable. we definitely go places for the food, but given the scarcity of great service in the gvrd, it's always high priority for us.

next, the meat. this is definitely the reason to go here. the prices were decent, and my husband had the rib/chicken wing combo. the bbq sauce definitely tasted hand-made, and although i generally don't like the taste of 'smoke' in a bbq sauce, this one had such a good balance of tanginess to sweet to tomato that i was happy to overlook the smoked taste. mr. man (my husband) thought it was top-notch. at least, that's what i deduced from his "can't talk.....eating......" response. the wings were grilled, and i actually stole 2 of them, which is 1 more than normal. theribsweren't overcooked, were nice and tender, and didn't try to make up for cooking mishaps by smothering them in sauce.

i wasn't terribly hungry, and opted for the poutine, since i have heavy vegetarian tendencies and really can't be bothered with all the chewing that meat takes! this was less exciting. the fries were frozen (no fresh-cooked taste or texture), and the toppings were ok, but nothing spectacular, with the whole thing being a little soggier and blander than i like. mind you, there was certainly enough of it - we both had some, and there was still some to take home. the sides with mr. man's meal were the fried mushrooms and potato salad. the mushrooms were good (if a titch small), and the potato salad was a bit bland for my taste. i was hoping for the same savoury vs tangy flavour combo as the bbq sauce, but this was more mayo and less zip than i like.

that being said, will we go back? hellsya. we walked out of there full, happy, and spent under $40 including a drink each and a 25% tip. the bbq sauce alone will be enough to pull me over to the chicken wing contingent for out next trip, and we'll see what mr. man thinks of the burgers. i'll keep you posted.
