Very nice BBQ meats there. Ambiance was great with live band and friendly staff. The brisket is a must have but if you're a vegetarian the Mac and cheese is delicious. Worth trying it.

My partner and I visited Lil' Ronnie's on a weekend trip to Tofino.We got quite the spread - brisket, brisket burnt ends, sausage, potato salad and mac and cheese. There was also a live band which was fun (did have to pay $15 cover per person).Overall the food was good. The brisket was tender, the sausage was very flavourful and the potato salad was definitely creamy. I found the burnt ends to be a bit tough. We also felt that some of the portions were on the small side. The burnt ends had ~6 pieces and the medium potato salad was only enough for the two of us.Something else I noted was that everything came out on separate plates, all with a variety of sauce, picked veggies, caramelized onions and mustard seeds. From other BBQ restaurants I have been to (Texas, Louisiana, Edmonton, Calgary and Victoria), there is typically a metal 'tray' with the meats and then sides are commonly stand-alone.All in all it was a good meal, just not what I envision as a classic BBQ joint.EDIT: Thank you to the response from the owner and clarifying the history of Lil' Ronnies. While the separate plates were not something I'd ever seen at a BBQ joint, it's nice to hear they have maintained a family tradition!

We checked into the Best Western hotel, thinking it would be generic and ordinary. The super helpful guy on the desk told us about Lil Ronnie's. We were amazed by the gorgeous beach, checked out Lil Ronnies and decided to eat straight away! The food was awesome, staff were great and the music/beach vibe was fantastic! Totally recommend.

This was one of my favourite dinners in Tofino! The live music was phenomenal, the bbq items (brisket, pulled pork) were so so tasty and the sides (Mac and cheese and beans) were really good too! We paid $10 for cover on top of food to cover the costs of the bands that okay while you dine. Apparently it is normally $20 (it had been discounted because it was slow on the Sunday). I believe if you go after 8pm there is no longer any cover. Just loved the overall experience here! Bonus is its right by McKenzie beach and so we were able to watch sunset on the beach right afterward.

Audrey ? (I totally forgot her name) she was very friendly! Checks on us every time! The BRISKET is the bomb! I would say it will be their signature food! The potato salad also is a great combination to the brisket! I love that they have spicy sauce!! Portion is big for sharing. We order one set good for 3-4 people!

Very nice place. Food was good. I really missed some cornbread on the menu of some sort. Live music was very cool. Staff was great. Not a full bar, but some great drinks and beer to be had. Over all definitely a good find.

Visited here and did take out. The Brisket was fantastic. The rest of the food was good but not noteworthy (mac and cheese, turkey, pulled pork, nachos), The mains have lots of garnishes which seem like filler. Staff were friendly.

Delicious! Meats & Sauces are gluten free! Had the Meat Nachos, 1/2lbs of Ribs & 1/2lbs of Brisket. Super enjoyed all of it. March 2023- Meat Nachos are $20!

This place is flipping incredible! We came for the brisket and we stayed for the live music! We tried the bonanza for 2 and our son had the heart attack mac. Do your taste buds a favor and make a stop here if you are in Tofino! Sam took care of us, and was wonderful and attentive! We will definitely be back :)
