The Restaurant
The Toad Stool Pub and Restaurant is a spotless place (even the washrooms) which is admirable, considering they are serving BBQ foods with lots of sauce.
The tables are conveniently outfitted with rolls of paper towel and a caddy of sauces.
Tip: the booths along the middle wall have outlets for phone charging!
The Service
The Toad Stool Pub staff was personable and made good recommendations for us. While some reviews have mentioned slow service, this was not the case during our visit on a Saturday afternoon.
You can order delivery through Skip the Dishes.
The Food at the Toad Stool Pub
We had the prime rib and brisket sandwiches and chose green beans and mac n’ cheese as sides.
The green beans with pork were just what I was hoping for. Meanwhile, he loved the mac n’ cheese.
We both loved the brisket and the Southern Sweet BBQ sauce.
The prime rib is well done since the slices are smoked. Both of us would have preferred a medium rare, but perhaps it’s not possible with the way they make it in the smoker. Still, it’s tasty.
The Dessert at the Toad Stool Pub
The banana pudding bowl is big enough to split and we liked it in spite of some shortfalls. The real banana slices were brown (somebody forgot to dip them in lemon), the whipped cream on top was a fake topping and the vanilla wafer on top was not crisp (it had softened in the fridge).
To make this better I hope they’ll add the cookie and real whipped cream to the banana pudding bowl just before serving.
You could also try Hot Rocks in Whitby.
Enjoyed April, 2017.
