Trip Advisor  5.0 

Had the opportunity to attend the Weber Grill Academy last night, and all I can say it was an awesome time, what a great experience. Regardless if your a grilling rookie or grilling pro......trust me you will have a great time. Mike and the staff are amazing, it was great to learn great new BBQ tips and actually getting right in there an do things yourself. But outside of the great food, the great atmosphere, the best part is Mike's incredible enthusiasm, and the passion he shows to not only his job, but everyone around him. Because of him, we entered as a group of strangers, but his flare and his inclusiveness of everyone around him, we ended the night as a group of friends. Great Great Time. And if I learned anything its LOOKIN' aint COOKIN'. Thanks for the awesome experience and I will surely be back.

LOOKIN' AINT COOKIN - Awesome Time

It was a terrific evening! The chefs had an extraordinary ability to combine fun and learning. Many of us did know each other, but they brought us together as a group creating a very enjoyable and informative evening. The food was delicious. Making the experience hands on was also a plus. Highly recommend signing up for one of their courses.

Incredible experience. Fun while you learn; no matter your level of expertise, you WILL learn something and you WILL have fun. One of the best team building events we have ever organized. Michael was terrific, entertaining, knowledgeable and huge Cx! Highly recommend. Extremely clean kitchen and highly organized cooking team. Be hungry when you arrive!

Corporate Team Building Function

Very informative, entertaining and great value for the money. Especially if you are like me and have wasted plenty of money on incorrectly grilled meat. Chefs Mike and Damien are perfect foils for each other and keep the information coming. Engaging and funny, there was never a dull moment! I can't wait to go back for the other offerings! ~yes, you eat...had grilled Romaine with Caesar dressing, smoked chicken wings, low and slow smoked beef brisket and peach cobbler. Lots of pros, no cons!

Weber Diamond Event

Our sales recently spent an evening at the Weber Grill Academy. Thoroughly entertained by Chef Michael Clive and we left with a full stomach too. Every portion of a three course meal was cooked on the grill, both gas and charcoal. We learned the basics as well as some handy tips around the bbq. "Looking ain't cooking!" Our group split off into three teams and we all worked together with excellent instruction from the Weber team to prepare the meal ourselves. Nothing was over complicated, all culinary skill levels will enjoy this great experience. I can't wait to have an opportunity to return. Cheers!

Amazing experience and I couldn't be more pleased with the evening. Peter was great with the initial setup and getting us great aprons with our company logo. Jen was amazing ahead of the event answering all my questions and was great with our guests making them feel welcome, thank you Jen. The chefs are pros. Mike was absolutely spectacular as our host and one of the chefs. What can you write about a guy like this that brings so much energy, fun and skill to the event other than to say thank you! Damien was equally great with all the guests and is a true BBQ guru oozing in passion for the grill - a true master griller - amazing! Shout out to the staff and looking forward to my next opportunity to host at the academy.

If I could give this experience 10 stars I would. My company had a customer appreciation event at the Academy and it was utterly amazing from start to finish. Staff: Mike, Damian and team were outstanding in every way. They make grilling so much fun while teaching you some pretty serious recipes and preparation/bbq techniques. If you have any type of group event/team building function the Academy experience is a MUST! Thank you Mike, Damian and team for making it so much fun. Look forward to next time which we are already starting to plan for.

Just attended the "Land and Sea" grilling class at the Weber Grill Academy in Vaughan! What a fantastic Christmas present! Learned a lot. Had a tonne of fun. Enjoyed some phenomenal food...(which I had a hand in grilling) and met some fantastic people who are really passionate about what they do. Couldn't help but be inspired! Taking a stab at recreating the meal this weekend! Highly recommend signing up!

We booked a corporate grilling event with the amazing team at Weber and attended last night! The event was absolutely amazing and Michael was so entertaining and skilled! Damien was terrific and gave us practical tips and tricks we could use in our homes or when we grill, he was so helpful throughout and made everything look so easy! Rosy was super as well! Would definitely recommend to anyone aa the team is truly wonderful! The food was just ahh so delicious especially the upside down pear cake! Who knew you could make desserts in the grill!!

A truly unique and excellent experience. Not only do you learn a few tricks (aka hacks) but also get a pretty good meal all while being wildly entertained. Mike & Damien are truly leaders in the industry elevating everyone's grilling knowledge all while delivering a world-class event. Thanks so much, Gentlemen, we will definitely be back to do it again and who knows maybe buy a grill next time.

Our company decided to have our Christmas celebration here and it was an awesome experience. We learned how to cook "A" grade quality of food (Meat and Vegetarian Options) and get to enjoy it afterwards. It is very interactive and the chef was very entertaining.

My Dad, brother and I booked the smoking 101 class and had an awesome time! Chef Clive is a lot of fun to cook with and made it very entertaining. We will be trying one of the intermediate/advanced classes this upcoming season.
