Hank Daddy’s Barbecue - Vaughan, Ontario

Food: 3 Stars Service: 3 Stars Ambience: 3 Stars Value: 3 Stars Overall: 3 Stars I ordered takeout from Hank Daddy's Barbecue, hoping to enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner. While my experience had its highlights, there were also a few letdowns, resulting in a lower rating. First, the ribs were the standout of the meal. They ... were tender and had a nice texture, which made them enjoyable. However, the brisket fell short of my expectations. It was very dry and lacked the juiciness and rich flavour typically associated with good brisket. The predominant taste was the smoke, which was too intense and had an almost gassy quality that overpowered any other flavours. I decided to try Hank Daddy's because of the positive reviews and my love for barbecue. I was looking forward to a meal that would combine smokiness with a balanced seasoning. Unfortunately, while the ribs showed promise, the brisket didn’t hit the mark. The overwhelming smoke flavour was the most notable issue for me. While some might appreciate a strong smoky taste, it was excessive to the point of being unpleasant. I believe that a more balanced approach to smoking and seasoning could significantly improve the overall taste. In summary, Hank Daddy's Barbecue has some potential, especially with their ribs, but there are definite areas for improvement. I hope they can refine their smoking technique and seasoning to provide a more enjoyable and balanced barbecue experience. I'll consider giving them another try in the future, but for now, it’s a mixed review from me. kellychan360 Read more

Probably the best grilled chicken and mac and cheese in the City. We bought a 3lb tray of chicken and two XL mac and cheese sides and it was more than enough food for six people. I highly recommend this place. The waitress was incredibly pleasant as well. Five stars!

Let me tell you.. if you love 🍖.. this is the right place for you!! We had a platter once before but this time we went to eat in and shared the chicken nachos - which were TO DIE FOR -, as well as a salad, and then the sliced brisket ... with their potato salad and slaw as our main! The meat is so tender, its fat tastes delicious.. we couldn't get enough!!! Their BBQ sauce is also amazing!! We'll be back for sure!! 🤤🤤😍 Btw: I deducted one star for service because when we went there was only ONE guy serving.. and that really doesn't seem fair considering the size of the restaurant. He did his best to accomodate everyone and he was really nice and friendly but we did have to wait a little to order and pay 🙈 Read more

Sorry to say that this place didn't match up with expectations. The wings were the only things that were half decent. The beef brisket I found very greasy and fatty. The platter you see was $37... So it's very expensive, and the portions for the price are not worth it. And finally ... the service was very slow and not friendly. Maybe we catch our waitress on an off day. Sadly we were disappointed. Read more

This was a nice sit down experience. I asked the waitress to select an option and she chose the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with beans and potato salad. It was great! Atmosphere was fantastic as well and waitress was very friendly.
