Pulled Chicken on a bun and BBQ Bristket were very good. We will for sure stop again. (Note: cash only)

Excellent pulled pork and beans! I happened to meet the owner the day before their last roadside night and he invited me- I wish I had heard of the place sooner, I would have frequented it! Can't wait for them to reopen in the Spring (or attend an event they'll be catering!).

Located just over half a km north of Ravenshoe Rd on the east side of Lakeridge Rd. They Sell Bbq Roadside from May 24th until mid October. Year round catering for weddings, cooperate functions and parties. The Best BBQ you will find anywhere ????

This is a MUST visit BBQ only available on Fridays between May long weekend and end of September. Great pulled pork and beef brisket sandwiches. Smoked mac and cheese is also worth trying along with coleslaw. Poutine is also a crowd pleaser...Reasonably priced and an excellent value for a foodie. Make the stop. You won't be disappointed.

Jeff Milne

Basically stop. Park the car, get some BBQ. It's that simple. The food is great, prices competitive and seriously, where are you going to get BBQ this good within 100km !

First, I should say that I love BBQ. REAL BBQ, that is. Meat that is slowly and carefully cooked over glowing coals of wood. Unfortunately, I haven't found a place around here that is up to my standards. The sauce is either sickenigly sweet- and far too much- or they overmarinate the meat, which results in the total loss of flavour. If I wanted good BBQ, I had to do it myself. That is, until I found this gem! About 7km off hwy 48, it's a small storefront on Lake Ridge Road, with decent-sized open kitchen. There is ample parking and a picnic area, with comfortable Muskoka chairs and benches shaded by large trees. The offerings range from the requisite pork ribs and brisket, to pulled chicken and, a hotdog so large, I thought it was sausage at first glance. Did I mention generous portions? I decided on brisket, fries, and coleslaw. The fries were surprisingly good; not what I expected from a place where they are not the focus of the menu. Crisp but tender inside and very flavourful. The slaw was great as well. The usual cabbage and carrots, with the addition of apple and tart raisins*, mixed with just enough mayo to bring it all together. Now, the brisket... wow. A large sized, butter-soft bun, filled with a generous portion of tender beef mixed with one of the best sauces I've had in a long time. Just the right balance of tart and sweet and only enough to complement the beef Again, the theme here seems to be that the main ingredient is never overpowered by the others. I only wish there was more than one location so I could visit more often. Fortunately, my mother lives within a 10 minute drive, so I will be back sooner than later. (Expect more visits mom! Lol) *If, like me, you aren't a fan of raisins, I should note that there aren't many. Also, these are not the gooey, overly sweet sultanas that are in things like cheap baked goods. They are more like currants- chewy and tart. A surprisingly pleasant addition for even this raisin hater!

The pulled pork was good. The brisket was better. But the banana pudding was a home run. I ran the bases twice. I enjoyed the putting that much. I’m looking forward to my next order.

Mike Hensler

Absolutely the best BBQ! If you're in the area on a Friday, or even if you're not make the trip over to see Doug and the crew. Awesome food at a great price... I mean like 5 bucks more then McDonald's for 2 people. Liked it so much we decided to have big Doug cater our engagement party. And if our wedding venue didn't make it so hard to get outside catering we would have had him do the wedding as well. Thanks Doug, I'll be seeing you every Friday til the end of the season

Finally.... BBQ done right! Best pulled pork and Brisket we have ever had. The baked beans were awesome. Super friendly staff and Doug knows his stuff. A definite must try.

Natalie Hampton

Haven't tried it yet, but I've heard great things!

Christine Greenwood

This is the best roadside bbq I have ever tasted! If you are travelling up north make sure you stop in and try it. However, it is only open on a Friday, and you have to make sure you get there in good time as they sell out very quickly.

Bill Tripp

Food to die for. Amazing experience. Would use anytime no second choices.

Carl Anso

Awesome food, great service, very clean. Highly recommend. Will become a stop on the way to the cottage.

PRISCILLA FAULKNER

Wonderful real tasty food. Great iwner and staff. Best BBQ you have ever had. Delicious.

Sandra Francis

I'm sure the food is great. But the traffic chaos that is caused on the road is insane. People pulling off no signals. Or they decide to do uturns in front of you. Insane rude drivers. Remember traffic moving at 90kms plus..think of others safety and your own.

Lisa campanile

Most incredible food, made my daughter's wedding so perfect. They are highly recommended!!!!!!

Trevor McGrath

Super good road side bbq. Simple. Delicious. Home made by good people. Timing is good only for the Friday cottage crowd but is a perfect meal stop on the way.

alexandria naraine

Incredible ribs!

Darius Dubash

Fantastic ribs and fries. Only open Fridays for pickup orders. Great value for the money. Keep an eye out for it, and look for the roadsigns on hwy 23.

Big Doug catered our wedding and made the process a breeze. With changing dates and trimming numbers due to provincial Covid restrictions, Big Doug accommodated all of our changes even if they were last minute. Come the wedding day the food exceeded all expectations, the prime rib was melt in your mouth and the chicken was out of this world, some vegetarians were even helping themselves to a portion of each. For sides we chose roasted potatoes, roasted veggies and coleslaw and just like the meats they were all amazing. The guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. Big Doug and Tina arrived on time and were very friendly and professional. We will definitely be stopping by roadside and will be recommending their catering services to anyone who will listen. Big Doug, thanks again for the unbelievable meal and playing such an important role on our wedding day. I told Taylor I'd prefer to choose the caterer and thanks to you I hit a home run...and now I can probably justify getting a smoker of my own. All the best, Andrew & Taylor
