The Best BBQ Kits in Toronto

Are you looking for the best BBQ kits in Toronto? Well, we've got you covered with plenty of options when it comes to grilling season!

The official first day of summer is just around the corner and with the smell of summer wafting through the air, a.k.a. the smell of sizzling steaks, burgers, chicken legs and corn on the cob, BBQ season is in full swing. With the days getting longer and the weather getting hotter, barbecues are finally being fired up again.

Toronto restaurants are still solely offering pickup and delivery but they have started to promote grilling packages and BBQ kits as part of their menu items. Some restaurants are starting off with simpler burger kits, while others have curated kits comprised of quality cuts of steak, chicken and seafood, that come pre-marinated and ready to grill! Several of these restaurants have also included sides, desserts and drinks to go alongside a BBQ feast!

This list contains butchers, restaurants, some big name chains and local grocery stores that are offering BBQ kits. Enjoy BBQ season in Toronto and have this list handy the next time you want to try a ready-to-go kit or package from one of your favourite spots.

If you want a complete list of butchers in Toronto, check out this comprehensive list of grocery services, including butchers, that deliver or have pick-up options.
