inconspicuously nestled between random shops on st clair west, we weren't prepared for a nearly-full house on a tuesday at noon. bar-seating only, we quickly grabbed seats where we had a view of where the magic happens, right in front of the grill. the atmosphere is very comfortable, with a relaxed-country feel and lots of toronto old-time memorabilia. the staff were friendly, accommodating and helpful when it came to decision time. they definitely steered us in the right direction.
notable items:
the meat is so good, definitely due to their 18-hour smoking process
you can order for pick up
they only sell their bbq ribs and whole bbq chickens on tuesdays, fridays and sundays after 5pm

| ap ordered the slow-smoked BBQ pork with slaw on the side. it was enough for 3 people add: delicious fries |

| i ordered the the oak and hickory bbq beef brisket with stockyards bbq sauce, garlic mayo and carmalized onions. i barely ate half, but RK enjoyed it for dinner |

| some of the great memoribila that adds to the country-feel |
the stockyards has a legendary brunch menu that is, unfortunately, only offered on weekends. due to limited seating (only 18 counter seats in the whole joint), i am not sure where all these weekend-dwellers eat, but i am positive they devour every last bite, especially of the much-touted chicken and waffles. oh well, there is always next time!
highly recommend. but get there early to grab a seat!
