Magnificent view. Food was expensive for a stand in line restaurant. Like typical southern BBQ joints, you stand in line to order you get a number and then it is delivered to your table. You also stand in line to order drinks. $46.00 for a...rack of ribs with no sides seems very high.More

This place does not want your business so do them a favor and don't go! Bartenders were both super rude and annoyed to be doing their job. I ordered 3 beers and a water. I was told to get the water myself from the cooler....I told him it was empty and her told me to try the other one. I told him it was also empty and his reply was, "well I can't help you then" and he walked away. I asked the other bartender for a lime for my Sol and she said, "you will have to have him (the first bartender who walked away) help you with that". She then went back to playing on her phone. What!? Restaurant needs to fire both of those people immediately.More

The view is beautiful, the food mediocre, the cleanliness was non-existent. We were the first to access the patio (they just opened) and there was food and trash and dirty tables everywhere. Hard to focus on the view when the place was so, so dirty.

Visited on a Friday afternoon with a group of 6 - plenty of room and were able to find seating right away with a nice view. Ordered some beers and a couple poutine dishes (classic and Bollywood), and both were so good! The seagulls were...a little annoying, but overall, the experience and atmosphere were nice.More

Food was super fast and tasty. Beer cold. Lots of seating on the patio. Prices higher because of the location but family friendly and with it after a long day on the island

Hugely expensive mediocre place and the terrace is filled with seagulls. But the view is worth it in the end. Very nice place to enjoy those expensive Molsons.

Decided to have a meal here for my birthday, service was great until the food came. My burger was colder than my beer. Food got taken back to the kitchen and I had to ask for a refund. The manager came out, put the money...in my hand an walked away. Neither staff or manager apologised or cared that the food that came out of the kitchen was not cooked. Terrible experience.More

The food was terrible, the server didn't even asked us why we just took a couple of bites. He's used to people not finishing it. The view is perfect, but the food makes me give a 1.

Stopped in here after arriving on the island. The patio has an excellent view of the city skyline and the boat traffic on the water. We ordered some beer and margaritas and then tried a few of the tacos for lunch. They were all very...good. Quite a few wasps, but they are bad everywhere at this time of year.More

My friends and I enjoyed a nice bike ride around the Toronto island and ended up having late lunch at the Toronto Island BBQ restaurant. The service was very friendly and the food came quick! The view was amazing and the fish tacos we shared...as well as the angus burger I had tasted awesome! Will definitely be coming back!More

A wonderful atmosphere of the Lake Ontario waves and beautiful Toronto skyline in the distance make this spot a can't miss on your summer list! The Food was fantastic our fish tacos, fries, and wings were all served super quick and tasted phenomenal. (the chipotle...mayo on the tacos is to die for!) We stuck mostly to beer however the cocktails we did try, were great and well priced. (a special thanks to the bartender for his recommendations) The staff were so friendly, and the manager Grainnne was happy to help with anything we needed! All in all great experience will be returning here as much as possible this summer!More
