Best BBQ Restaurant in The Annex Toronto — Backyard Smokehouse
The Annex is one of Toronto's most vibrant neighbourhoods — but BBQ options, especially halal ones, have been limited. The Backyard Smokehouse at 264 Dupont Street is located just at the northern edge of The Annex, making us the closest and most accessible halal BBQ restaurant for Annex residents and visitors.
Why Backyard Smokehouse for The Annex
We have 896 Google reviews and a 4.2-star rating. Guests frequently come from across the city to eat here, but for Annex locals, we are practically in the neighbourhood. Our halal certification makes us genuinely accessible to Muslim diners in the area, while our quality keeps everyone coming back.
What to Order
Our Smoked Brisket is the signature dish — slow-smoked for 14+ hours. The BBQ Platter is perfect for sharing, and the Backyard Burger loaded with brisket is ideal for solo diners.
