Cherry Street Bar-B-Que is one of the best barbecue restaurants in Toronto for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Toronto.
Cherry Street Bar-B-Que occupies a former 1920s Dominion Bank building in Toronto's Port Lands — a deliberately unglamorous address, surrounded by waterfront construction, with a red neon sign that reportedly cuts through the industrial haze with some conviction.

Ordered the check sandwich but was given the brisket. Would’ve been more upset if the brisket wasn’t delicious but was still hoping for some chicken that day. Cornbread and slaw were great, Mac and cheese lacked some flavour. The banana pudding was yummy but would’ve been lighter and fluffier. The passion fruit slush was a must try.
