Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que brings Southern barbecue to Toronto with the kind of straightforward conviction that doesn't require explanation.
John Stage started this barbecue operation in 1988, and it has grown into a multi-location enterprise that takes its Southern roots seriously. This Toronto outpost on Fort York Boulevard is part of a larger operation — you can find the full roster of locations on their website. Southern barbecue, done without fuss.
