Big Bone BBQ & Wicked Wings

Delicious. Big portion fair price. The Monday’s Special is excellent. Be warn the Party pack is so big we usually half the suggested portion.

Quote from 7 year old. «I loved this so much. Food was very good and the chef was nice.» We hit this for a son and father lunch during a trip to Joyride 150. Great way to spend an afternoon. Smoked wings were great. We split the big bone combo and had a hard time walking out. We will be back.

Heard so many great review about this place, finally had a chance to try it. Monday special is the ! Fall of the bone ribs and the wings is a must try!
Reasonable price!

Big Bone BBQ serves up solid BBQ at a fantastic value. I did not expect to be anywhere near that full when I came here and I am quite satisfied at this elusive BBQ joint in Markham, so kudos for big bone for being a respectable BBQ option in the area.
Came here with a friend and we both ordered a mini-​combo as it comes with just about everything you would want, and the southwest poutine/​nacho hybrid side. That was our first mistake, getting the same thing. Second, we didn’t know how food was in the ‘mini-​combo’, oh the irony! Half a pound of wings, three bones of ribs, corn bread, an absurd amount of fries, and beans. We ended up finishing everything but the fries but I am pretty sure you can share the mini-​combo! Three, we didn’t need to order the fries. Actually, no one needs to, especially with the amount they give you! More on the fries later. Four, don’t get the same side, i. e fries.
Food wise, the BBQ portion was definitely satisfying. The smoked wings were my favorite of the two. Big flavourful wings and their BBQ sauce was fantastic. It was not too sweet, yet had the right tang to it. The ribs were also good but could have been more fall off the bone tender. They were pretty big as well and were as easily smoky and tasty as the wings. So I approve of the BBQ here!
The corn bread, beans, and the coleslaw were all pretty standard. The fries I have the biggest issue with. I am almost certain these are the (frozen) crispy Costco ones which I am not a big fan of at all. They’re overly salty and simply lack potato. I wish they would have their own fresh cut fries, it would make a world of a difference. And given how much fries we had, it feels like such a waste. Luckily my friend took it all home (hopefully he finished it). I shouldn’t be talking this much about fries at a BBQ joint though so my apologies.
The southwest poutine/​nacho side was interesting. It was essentially a regular poutine topped with red onions and jalapeños with a side of nacho chips and sour cream and salsa. It was simply too much fries for us and overall it was nothing special, at least it didn’t cost much.

Pretty solid BBQ here. These guys take grilling seriously. Been here on several occasions and they do not disappoint.
Unfortunately, due to it being so unhealthy, I have to limit my visits :(however, if wings or ribs are what you’re after, this place (especially in Markham) cannot be beat!

Finally got a chance to try the food here and we were not disappointed! We got party pack #4 — full rack of ribs, 1lb wings, 1lb pulled pork, 4 slices cornbread, baked beans, coleslaw, large fries and an extra tub of BBQ sauce. We had enough food for 4 people easy. The ribs had a good texture, some bite but still tender and the smokiness came through beautifully. Chicken were good, nice and crispy — and I should also mention they have a TON of flavours for the wings… everything from sweet to spicy, creamy or dry rub. Pulled pork had some nice flavours but didn’t pick up as much smoke. Fries are fries, nothing special but i guess it goes hand in hand with most take out meals. Beans were good. The cornbread had a slight sweetness and good crumble. Coleslaw is nice and creamy with a slight tang, my husband loved it!
All in all, we definitely come back again for the ribs! Great prices, quick service and you are guaranteed to be full afterwards!

Best BBQ in Markham! This restaurant delivers more than what you pay for. Their Monday combo comprising of fries, wings and ribs is by far the best deal in town when it comes to ribs. It’s enough for three to four people and it comes up to $ 25. The meat on the ribs fall right off the bone and there is the perfect amount of sauce on the ribs. Their ribs are better than some of the places at the Markham Ribfest in my opinion.

AWSOME & Authentic. Great food and good prices for the food and the portion. I would recommend this little restaurant as a great go to for friends going out for a bite of BBQ. Liquor lic. Also.

My brother first introduced the family to Big Bone BBQ and Wings a couple of years ago. In the 4 – 5 times I’ve eaten there, their ribs and wings have generally been consistent in quality and flavour.
We usually order the big bone combo which comes with a ½ rack of ribs and a pound of wings. While the ribs are not fall-​off-​the-​bone, they are meaty and moist and have enough sauce to make them flavourful. We usually get the honey mustard wings, which are lightly breaded and crispy and come slathered in lots of sauce.
The combo comes with coleslaw and baked beans as well as cornbread. I prefer more of a vinegar based coleslaw than the mayo based coleslaw that is served, but the presence of a bit of vegetables is a welcome interruption from all the meat and fries. The fries come lightly breaded and remained crispy even to the end of our meal. Was a little disappointed in the cornbread this time around as it was a bit dry in texture and lacking a touch of sweetness that I prefer.
Despite the small critiques about the cornbread and coleslaw, the ribs and wings combo provides fairly good value for the money ($ 23.95) and comes with a lot of food.

Me and my BF love going to ribfests in the GTA. But where would we get our BBQ fix during the colder months? Big bone bbq!
This place has huge servings! All of the items we have tried have been impressive, except for the fries, but that’s just a side, right?
Their sauce is great, ribs, pulled pork, wings, corn bread. Everything is delicious.
This place is always busy especially during dinner, but a lot of the customers are take-​out customers.
This is my go-​to BBQ place and will remain to be so.

My hubby & i are huge fans of ribs, so we were super excited when this place first opened. We used to be regulars at the Markham Ribfest, but once Big Bone BBQ opened it became our fav place to go. Ribs all year round — what’s not to love?! Plus better than any of the ribbers we tried at the last 4 ribfests we’ve been to!
Just had BIg Bone BBQ 2 nights ago after not being there since last Summer and they did not disappoint! 30 minutes before closing and everything was fresh and NOT like it had been sitting around on the bbq waiting for someone to order. Hubby & i split a full rack and a brisket sandwich and we still had leftovers!
The full back of ribs — HUGE, meaty, juicy and their bbq sauce & seasoning is so delish! A full rack is enough for 2 to share with 12 pieces.
Brisket sandwich & the pulled pork sandwich — Good amount of meat on these sandwiches and their delicious sauce & seasoning on a perfect sized bun for these sandwiches makes it difficult to decide on which to get!
Don’t get excited over their fries. They are crispy fries, frozen, definitely not fresh cut. But if you’re heading over for their fries, then you’re going to the wrong place! Their meat is what makes them a hit! Oh… and their baked beans are out of this world. Also not a fan of their coleslaw, but the sides are not what takes me there, it’s the meat!

If you and your friends or family couldn’t decide where to eat on Friday evening or Sunday noon, Big Bone is the place to be. Me and 6 friends had a lunch and we ordered the $ 109 dollars party meal (2lbs ribs, 2 lbs chicken wings, 2 lbs pulled pork, large fries). The ribs are awesome (juicy, smokey and flavourful). They also have different variety of wings flavours but not as much as Wild Wings.
I just find their location weird since its situated at Bullock Drive industrial areas but the restaurant has a good parking space. Customer service is also great!
Overall, the quality is great and filling. You should definitely give it a try.

We went to Big Bone BBQ for dinner. I ordered the Elvis combo which came with half a pound of wings, 3 ribs and pulled pork. It is a lot for one person and you will probably have leftovers. It comes with cornbread, fries, coleslaw and beans as well.
The ribs were pretty good (meat comes off the bone). The wings come with sauces on the side and were really good. Everything else was just okay. I really liked the fries. This is good value for what it is.
There’s decent seating for groups. I would probably return if I have a ribs craving. There were some mixups with our orders but it got resolved.

I heard about the Monday special — Full rack of ribs, 1lb of wings and basket of fries for $ 25 incl tax. And reading the reviews, i had to try it.
I ordered it for pick up for 4:15pm. Wife picked it up, and dug in around 4:30pm, yes early dinner on mondays.
The ribs were dry and tasted very smoky. Wings were ok. Fries were ok. Wife and kids did not like the ribs at all. Tasted like they were re-​smoked from the day before…
So was not happy at all. Too bad, i had a craving for some good food.
Take a look at the pictures and decide for yourself.

After reading reviews and their website which promises authentic Southern BBQ (I am originally from Alabama), we made the trip from Pickering to Markham to try them out. It wasn’t worth the drive. When you walked in the door, you didn’t smell smoke and any good BBQ place definitely will. When we sat at a table, the only condiment besides salt and pepper was ketchup, and any good BBQ place will have extra sauce (sometimes several flavors) and hot sauce on the tables. I ordered the pulled pork platter and my husband ordered the rib and wings platter. These came with small servings of coleslaw and beans, a slice of corn bread, and a heap of fries. The fries were excellent and probably the best thing on the plate, with a crispy coating and well cooked. The coleslaw was horrible, some of the worst I have had. It was basically just shredded cabbage mix from the grocery store with mayo mixed in. The beans were just beans and needed some help. Some extra BBQ sauce or spices would have gone a long way towards making them better, but I could at least eat these while I couldn’t finish the slaw it was so bad. The cornbread was a bit dry and was served cold with no butter or anything. I brought mine home, warmed it in the microwave and buttered it and it was good then.
Now on to the meat. The pulled pork was pretty good, but needed a bit more smoking. The problem was the sauce. Their «signature sauce» which I had to ask for an extra little container of since they don’t have it on the table is awful. Very ketchupy and red. My husband said it reminded him of the cheap Kraft BBQ sauce from the grocery store. I thought it was more like that red, sticky sauce on the ribs at a Chinese buffet. Either way, that isn’t BBQ sauce. Ketchup should never be the main flavor you taste! I tried my husband’s ribs and they were OK, but not cooked long enough to fall off the bone. They were barely brushed with sauce so pretty dry, but given how bad the sauce it that may have been a good thing.
All in all, it was a wasted trip since I can get better BBQ at Pig Out and Horn Dawgs here in Pickering. Definitely not going back.
PS: One of their flavors of wings is «Alabama Slamma» and I asked what flavor that was since I am from southern Alabama. It is honey garlic and hot sauce. We don’t have honey garlic down there except in Chinese restaurants, so that name is totally bogus.

This place is THE place to beat the Monday Blahs!
Why you ask?
Because this place offers the Monday Special, which offers some pretty good value for those of us that have carnivorous tendencies.
Bad day at work on a Monday?
No problem! Nothing like a big giant platter of meat to solve your blues. The Monday special is 1 lb of wings (you can choose any flavour, but I would highly recommend the smoked wings (saucy, smokey and tangy barbeque sauce)) and a full rack of ribs in their signature barbeque sauce, along with a choice of fries or salad*. The price is a pretty wallet-​friendly $ 25.00 with taxes already included in the price
The people here are pretty friendly every time I’ve come here and it’s pretty easy to get in contact with them over the phone.
There are other offerings on the menu, but I find that it is VERY hard to beat the Monday Special for value and food. I usually order this for lunch and split it with a few other people, just so I can spread out the nap that comes with the aftermath of eating all that meat.
The quality is pretty good, I haven’t had a miss when it comes to the wings and ribs; although the fried stuff (since I usually get carry out) does get soggy during transportation. So if you are getting carry out, I would recommend ordering the salad (their Caesar salad is quite good) as your option.

My friends recommended this place for a lunch date so we went and I was expecting good things.
We went on a Friday for lunch so when we got there, there was only one couple eating in. We were able to sit down and order quickly. The interior isn’t anything amazing — a simple storefront where right when you walk in, you’re faced with the counter where you order and to your left is most of the seating area — tables and a couple of booths that, in total, seat max about 15 – 20. But you aren’t here for the atmosphere — you’re here for good eats.
I ordered a mini combo ($ 15.95) — 3 bones of ribs, ½ lb of wings, fries, coleslaw, beans and cornbread. When it arrived, I wondered how I would finish the meal but, after the first few bites of the ribs and the wings, I knew it would be a delicious challenge.
The sauce I got on the wings was their Signature BBQ. I think this was my favourite — crispy, juicy, and big in flavour, I had to pace myself from finishing all of them at once.
The ribs were good — nice, soft, and tender. While not exactly fall off the bones, they were delicious and seasoned and rubbed with a good amount of spices and sauce. The ribs actually reminded me of ribs my family would make so I was expecting something different from Big Bone — something that couldn’t be duplicated. However, their ribs are still delicious and I would recommend them.
The sides — fries, cornbread, beans, and coleslaw were all really good. Fries reminded me a bit of Costco fries, the cornbread was a bit bland and drier than I expected, the beans were sweet and delicious though might not be for everyone, and the coleslaw was yummy — not too sour but light and creamy.
It was definitely a great experience and I would come here again and will recommend it to friends and family. The best part about the end is that, although you’ll end up consuming a huge amount of food, you aren’t left with a greasy and bloated feeling. I especially loved their wings and coleslaw (which I usually do not find myself liking). Big Bone has a Monday special where you can get a rack of ribs and a pound of wings and one large side for $ 25 — a great dinner option for the fam! I will be coming back!

I had the Big Bones Combo and I must say, the ribs were top tier, while the wings, eh not really.
Many backyard BBQ-​ers like their ribs ‘fall-​off-​the-​bone tender’ and will complain that Big Bones BBQ don’t make them in said tenderness. However, I’d like to ask you to give a chance to ribs with a bit of a chew. They are just as good.
In terms of flavors, the ribs were nicely seasoned, with dry rub and sauce, which brought out just enough flavor without overwhelming the pork taste of the meat.
As for the wings, my friends and I tried different flavors: dry cajun (⁴⁄₅), honey garlic (⁴⁄₅), kansas city BBQ (3.5÷5), and honey mustard (²⁄₅).
Although the dry cajun wings were good, I think it might only have been relative, because it was the only one that wasn’t drenched in sauce. As far as how the flavor goes, it’s not tasting very cajun.
I’m also not sure what happened to the beef brisket, but it was cut in slices so thin, and totally bathing in BBQ sauce that we didn’t really taste the beef, or the smoke, or anything that you were supposed to.
The fries were excellent: crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside.
But yeh, decent décor and friendly service, I had a good time at Big Bones BBQ.

Came out early on a Saturday. We were a group of 8 people. I think we might have had a reservation, I’m not 100%.
So this place was a bit of a challenge for me to find. I drove into a couple of wrong plazas before I came to it. Its next to the markham food bank, which made me me all sorts of shades of guilty for spending money at a restaurant
Thers a smallish parking area in the front of the plaza. Free parking, with more on the sides.
The place is really small, not a lot of in restaurant seats. More than in Newmarket thought.
First off, this place does not look like your typical BBQ joint. It looks like they either kept the furniture and décor from whatever place was there before, whatever tacky place. You can tell this by the dirty cushions and desperate need for touch ups on the walls.
There’s a big take out business here and there was always a large group of people staying around watching you eat. There’s no other place for them to be besides just right there watching you.
There was one waitress tending all the tables and the cash/​takeout.
She didn’t write anything down and of course got the order wrong. It was mostly right though. Funny thing is, it took 10 minutes to get her attention (we timed). She kept zipping around taking orders, and delivering food, but refused to make eye contact. She went past our table 7 times, and nothing. Someone had to go up to the cash to ask.
The food. Ribs were great, (very very fatty though) loved the wings and poutine and slaw. The pulled pork was really dry. So was the corn bread.
Would recommend the ribs and wings. Pass on the pulled pork!

My all time fave place for ribs in Markham! Originated from the Rib Fest, I’m so glad that they finally opened their own stores (3 and counting I think) :D! The meat seriously falls right off the bone and the rub is fantastic!
Big Bone is tucked away in a small plaza right behind LCBO on Bullock Drive. Small cozy restaurant with wooden tables and chairs. Staff are very welcoming. I enjoy coming on weekdays… less crowded. You order at the counter whether you are dining in or taking out… and they will bring the food to you.
I always order the Big Bone Combo or the Elvis Combo. Great deal :) Both comes with ribs, chicken wings, fries, coleslaw, and cornbread!!! The only difference is Elvis combo also comes with a slab of marinated pulled pork meat #yum #carnivore lol.
I would highly recommend this place for all you meat lovers if you want some good quality, house-​smoked, and satisfying BBQ ribs!
