The staff is really friendly (shoutout to Jonathan!). I always bring my family and friends when they visit, and they love it as well. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can’t go wrong here. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t order again!

However, Mike was quite insistent, and I eventually relented. We decided to visit J&J Bar-B-Que one Saturday afternoon. On a side note, doesn’t it seem like trends come to Toronto in waves? There was a period when ramen shops were everywhere, and now it’s all about poke and BBQ—just look at Adamson BBQ, Cherry Street BBQ, and Smoke Signals, for example.

Love the breakfast, and the BBQ is not perfect but Texas perfect!!! read more Love the breakfast, and the BBQ is not perfect but Texas perfect!!!

I ordered a brisket plate with green beans and macaroni and cheese. Some of the brisket pieces were a bit dry for my liking, but they were all tender enough that I hardly needed a knife, and they were packed with flavor. The green beans were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of pepper and bacon, and although the mac and cheese was fairly typical, it was moist and creamy. The staff at the counter and the server were both incredibly friendly and attentive. I'm looking forward to returning to try more dishes!
