Crosstown Craft BBQ

Crosstown Craft BBQ is trading its travelling pop-up setup for a permanent home on Comstock Road in Scarborough. Pitmaster Rueben Silva's first restaurant is scheduled to open November 7, 2026, with a grand-opening weekend announced for November 7–8. It is a destination for a generous tray of Texas-style smoked meats, rather than a quick sandwich stop.

What to order Build around brisket and ribs, with cornbread, pickles and sides to break up the richness. Silva plans to use the permanent kitchen for rotating specials: beef ribs on Saturdays and smoked, seared picanha on Sundays are among the announced weekend features. Check the day's lineup before setting your heart on a particular cut.

Know before you go The address is 51 Comstock Road in Clairlea-Birchmount. The opening date is confirmed, but service times and regular weekly hours are still unannounced.
