Pig Out BBQ

What is Pig Out BBQ? Located at 650 Spadina Avenue just steps south of Harbord Street on the edge of The Annex, Pig Out BBQ is a no-frills, counter-service smokehouse turning out Southern-style barbecue. Operating since 2012, the shop caters to University of Toronto students and neighborhood locals with hearty, unpretentious cooking. The space is pared back and casual, equipped with simple booths and tables suited for fast-casual dining or takeout.

Pig Out BBQ Menu & What to Order Heaping combo platters anchor the menu, featuring slow-smoked beef brisket, tender pulled pork, and sticky, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs. For something rich and comforting, order the pulled pork poutine alongside classic sides like baked mac 'n' cheese and sweet, crumbly cornbread. Pair your meal with an iced tea or cold soda, and if dining with a group, the multi-meat sharing platters deliver some of the best barbecue value in the downtown core.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly first-come, first-served with no reservations required or accepted. Expect lunch and dinner rushes during peak university terms, though line turnover and takeout counter service move quickly. The location is directly accessible via the 510 Spadina streetcar, with street parking available along Harbord and nearby residential side streets.
