Royal Meats Barbeque

We ordered four burgers to go. It was only a 5 minute drive home but when we got home the burgers were very soggy and it tasted so bad. We paid $ 45 but we didn’t even eat it. All of our money and the food went to waste.

Best place for a group of people dining out. My friends and I generally order the Meat Platter which is around $ 70 which is good for up to 4 people. Have also had the wings and salads and both are amazing! Great selection of beer!

Wayyyyyyyyyyy overpriced… Food is good, just not worth the price. I’ve eaten there only twice… First time I had witnessed someone picking their nose while cooking food (this was a couple years back)… But hindered my decision for a long time… Second time was alright, but I had ordered the food, so hopefully they kept their fingers on the spatulas instead of up their noses.

Came here years ago when it was mainly a take out spot. Love the addition of the restaurant! The service was absolutely amazing and the meat platters, charcuterie board and salads were delicious. Great place for a group.

Another visit to Royal Meats last week. This place isn’t just beautiful, the food is so fantastic. I love the traditional Serbian dishes, almost as good as the ones we get back home. The ćevapi are a must-​try. They are little hand-​rolled sausages that are barbecued to order. Actually, all their meat is barbecued to order. You can pick the size of the hamburger from their display when you order, and there it goes, on a hot grill right in front of you.
Their lepinje (flat bread) is amazing, and a perfect addition to their juicy meat dishes. Try it with kajmak (clotted cream) or ajvar (roasted red pepper spread).
Their Karađorđeva (Royal Cannon) schnitzel is amazing. Very filling. Very very good. Better than most I’ve had, even in Serbia.
Go! Go now!

I’ve been here twice, each time was pretty good, but not like blown away good. The burgers are big, but not super moist. I like the house sauce they use. They have re-​done the restaurant and it looks great. I would probably come back again in the future since I live in the area, but with many great burger places in the city now, there are many other options.

Excellent meat, never frozen and always fresh. Their cevaps are some of the best in the GTA, and it’s impossible to leave this place hungry. Fresh cuts are beautifully displayed in the butcher shop refrigerator for your selection. Great lunch stop in you’re in the area.

We arrived to the place. Its a noce decorated place. We ordered chicken fingers for our toddler which were very good. We ordered some trial wine, most of them were too smooth to drink with meat. Usually we like to drink a stronger wine when eating meat. The selection wasn’t broad enough. They should have some additional wine selection, such as Californian; Chilean and Argentinean.
The worst part was that when our meat arrived (which comes with a side of salad) the salad had a hair. They changed it immediately, but it was kind of disgusting.
The temperature inside of the place was very hot. I thought it was just me, but my boyfriend told me the same.
The meat (we ordered the NY Steak) was good quality, maybe too seasoned for my taste. Other than the salad, it came with french fries which were very good.
Service was «ok».
I ordered dessert which was a nutella crêpe and it was good.
In general I can’t give the place over 2 stars until they improve the restaurant temperature, food in general, wine selection and service. I thought this was a high end meat place and it should have everything accordingly.

Been here a few times since the renovation was completed so decide to give a review.
We ordered striploin steak (smelled so amazing as soon as the waitress put it down), the Chevap appetizer and the calamari chopska salad. Everything were generous in size and absolutely delicious.
The waitress is also super friendly. Great atmosphere. There’s a shop on the side. I might just pick up a few burgers for home!
Good stuff!

The ground pork Royal Burger was pretty tasty, and the small 6oz size was very generous!

Royal Meats Barbecue is a place that is undergoing some pretty sick renovations.
The place itself used to be pretty small, but has upgraded into this cool hip sports bar that will be opening a patio to go along with the good food that they have right now. The place specializes in meats of all kind, but seems to be centered on the steak.
I had the steak on a bun, which was a blessing and a curse. The steak meat itself was fantastic. The seasoning was well done and the meat, though cooked a bit more than I liked, still had a great taste. The bad part is that it’s served on a hoagie roll that doesn’t do it justice. Impossible to eat a good steak between bread. I ended up just knife and forking it like an OG.
The place is pretty sweet and they got lookers for servers to boot. The menu is rather large, and though prices are a tad high for lunch, it’s probably a pretty kickass place to go for dinner and to watch the game.

So good! Hands down the best burgers I’ve had! Although it can be on the pricier side, the portions are definitely more than filling and the flavours are great! It’s an amazing sit down restaurant and also good for take out. The Yam fries are the best!

This is my favorite burger joint in town, this is coming from some one who’s been to five guys, burgers priest, shake shack, etc. The only reason it didn’t get a ⁵⁄₅ star from me is that their price has been consistently going up. I’m not talking small increases once every couple of years but consistent big increases as the year goes by. Soon I can only enjoy their burger on special occasions and this saddens me.

Ate here yesterday for the first time. Super friendly staff. Beautiful streamlined interior. And best of all delicious food. Ordered the meat platter #1 which came with an assortment of meats including lamb, chicken, pork and beef as well as potatoes and bread… all delicious. Also ordered a side of broccoli salad… best I have had anywhere! Cannot wait to go back and try an assortment of their fish mains.

Walking into Royal Meats Barbeque was a welcoming treat with a full staff smiling and ready to take my order. I stood there a moment gawking at the giant chalkboard menu trying to digest some of the items including a $ 799 meat platter, say whutt? and trying to put my finger on what set this place apart from other typical suburban strip mall burger joints. I finally asked for a burger with onion rings because, well, onion rings are the best when they are home made. Only after reading some of the other reviews did I realize the Eastern European or Serbian influence on this licensed establishment. I didn’t have a beer, but their selection looked very interesting and the bar was well stocked as if they could host a boisterous wedding without a hitch.
The burger was quite good and very out of the ordinary, at least compared to the typical gourmet burger that I’ve been enjoying lately in the city. The meat was seasoned and not greasy, and more on the dry side, but very good. And the bun was exceptionally good with a chewy texture and it had a hearty grainy structure to it along with a unique flat shape, very unusual and delicious too. The toppings were ordinary except the barbeque sauce which was an interesting orange colour and had a great undertone and kick to it. The onion rings were crunchy and dry with a thick seasoned coating. They had the rings piled on a skewer (kind of a theme it seemed) which looked very appetizing, but exposed them to the surrounding air which cooled them more quickly than I liked so I devoured them. They give you a choice of ketchup or mayo as a compliment alongside the rings. I think I’ll have to return to try some of the Serbian treats sometime.

This was my first time at Royal Meats, but definitely not my last! The restaurant looks like a gourmet sandwich shop from the outside which really stands out since the area is drab and industrial. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the waitress who was friendly throughout the whole time we were there. We ordered the large burger which was a finely ground patty mixed with veal and pork served between a traditional pita-​like toasted bun. The burger was very tender and tasty and was served with garnishes of your choice.
We also ordered the Cevaps sandwich. The meat rolls were very tasty; another veal and pork mix served on the same toasted bun.
As for garnishes, we asked for the spicy sauce and cheese based cream. We were expecting a more traditional soft & creamy spread, but the one served was more of a cream cheese texture — still very yummy!
Both the burger & chevaps sandwich were satisfying & really hit the spot. The staff was quite friendly making it a place worth visiting if you’re in the area. Another downtown location should be opening soon.

I’ve been meaning to go to this place for awhile. I mistakenly thought it was going to be a BBQ place as in pulled pork, brisket or deli with smoked meats etc. They did grill everything which gave a nice taste to the food.
Overall, here’s what I thought
Atmosphere/​Cleanliness — very clean in the restaurant and patio area. There were flat screen TVs on the patio which was different. They are currently expanding for more seating. I liked that you could see the entire kitchen and grill area where the food is prepared– nice to see how it’s being handled and cooked. The washroom wasn’t very clean which was disappointing.
Service– as some have already mentioned, the service is curt, not overly friendly but not rude either. I had ordered their hamburger as it’s supposed to be one of their best items and I forgot to ask if their were onions in the burger. When she said there were onions in them and I said I couldn’t have them due to an allergy she was extremely understanding and polite about it. She made sure she told me about any toppings or sauces that I couldn’t have including my husbands dish which I appreciated.
Menu Variety– not a huge amount to choose from. The meat is displayed at the front so you can see how fresh it is. The burgers are enormous– wish I could have tried one :(
Quality of Food– I had the grilled chicken sandwich on a bun. The chicken tasted great and was a huge portion. I felt it could have used seasoning/​sauce or something to make it stand out and be unique because it had nothing on it– not even salt/​pepper. The bun was very good and toppings were fresh. I liked that you didn’t have to pay extra for bacon or feta (although the pricing is pretty high to start). The fries were not great– seemed like they had been sitting out for awhile. My husband had some type of sausage sandwich which he thoroughly enjoyed. The grilled pepper sauce/​spread was his favourite topping.
Value– it was around $ 30 for 2 sandwiches, one fry and 2 cans of pop. The portions and quality of the food were very good, but more variety would be welcome. When you think of a meat shop, you think of more than just grilled chicken, pork sausage and burgers– maybe some smoked deli meats, greater variety in the options for the meats they do serve.
Would I Return– yes, but not a place I’d go to all the time for a $ 15 chicken sandwich. My husband says the sausage is excellent and worth trying.

Here is probably the best way to describe Royal Meats
Service: ⁵⁄₅ — The staff here are super friendly and the service is commended. Once your food is ready a very pleasant staff will dress your meal the way you like it.
Quality of Food: ⁵⁄₅ — I have to honestly admit, I’m really addicted to their menu. I love the fact that it’s fresh and cooked to order. So nothing is reheated or cooked earlier. That makes a huge difference. You must try their Chevapas, none of that fake sausage taste! Great Job!
Temperature of Food: ⁵⁄₅ — When served right to order your food is always hot and fresh. That makes a huge impression.
Value of Meals: ⁴⁄₅ — Unfortunately, I did not try everything on their menu yet. But I’m addicted to their Chevapas. Amazing! A must try.
Atmosphere: Casual and a nice patio. This place is very relaxing and simple.
Would I Return: Yes
Time of Meal: Dinner

An old coworker took me to this place as she highly recommended it.
The concept was neat in that you choose your patty and they cook it for you.
The charbroil vs. flattop arises for me again and this place charbroils which is not my preferred method.
When I did get my burger, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the burger very much. It was quite flavourful and there was a good variety of condiment choices.
Unfortunately, geographically, it is far for me but if I’m ever in the area, I would go back for sure.

This place looks like a giant chain, and it’s suburban location might lead you to think it is a soulless money making burger machine, but it’s postal code is fooling you. This place is mom and pop through and through.
Royal BBQ offers a wide array of burgers, chicken and fish sandwiches all made fresh to order. Their buns seem too big and bread-​y, but they’re soft and tasty and absorb the medium burger juices perfectly. Their onion rings are bready and boss, and I recommend ordering these rather than their fries.
If you’re looking to grill at home, they sell their house-​made products frozen at the cash register.
PEPPER POINTS for being licensed. Burgers + Beer = Love.

Dieses Restaurant hält was es verspricht: Royal Meat. Vor allem Steak Burger (CAD 12) ist ein echter Fleischberg, den man erstmal irgendwie bewältigen muss. Gute Salate (Garden Salad, CAD 4 oder Shopska Salad, auch CAD 4). Man wird satt und wird gut und freundlich bedient.
