Smokehouse BBQ

I thought walking into a smokehouse, I'd smell evidence of some smokin goin on. I didn't. I ordered to go. I got ribs tips with salt & pepper, and baby back ribs dry. Mac & cheese and pit beans were my sides.The rib tips were OK. I've never had tips with a bone in it. It was a flat little bone, but in all of them. It took a minute to figure out how to eat them. Don't worry. I figured it out. The ribs were not very good frankly. There was no smoke, or BBQ flavor profiles I could sense. They were just bland. Seemed like they may very well have been roasted, not smoked. I don't really know. I just know they weren't very tasty or tender. If they were really smoked, the idea has to be revisited. Mac & cheese was delish. And, the Pit beans were OK. They tasted like beans & BBQ sauce.The brightest deal in this whole place were the people. Very kind & helpful to be sure. Also the beer! I had a grapefruit ale by Alley Cat Brewing Company that was delicious! I wanted a six-pack to go! Ya can't do that when it's on tap. Dammit! I'll look for it in The States. Fret not.All in all, the place had a fun atmosphere, but I think the smoking process needs revised, improved and mastered. Please, invest in a visit to your southern neighbours in the summer to places like Kansas City, Memphis, St. Louis or Nashville. Entire states have areas all over them like Georgia, The Carolinas, Texas, Kentucky and Florida that have the best BBQ in the World. Watch how those pit masters do it. Then you'll really dazzle the Canadian BBQ lovers like no other in Canada. Your place has mass potential for mastery. Rock it!

I don’t really get the overwhelming positive reviews. We ordered using Skip the Dishes, meal for two, choose your meat and sides. The brisket was probably the only thing that kept me from asking a refund. Pork ribs are incredibly dry and they give you a bunch of sauce to drown out the taste of the meat. Mash potato tastes like it was frozen then reheated. The mac n cheese was fine, it’s mac n cheese. Listen, I usually don’t review food even if it’s bad because I feel like a 1st world a**hole but for $50+ I really expected more. I’m not upset, just disappointed.

If you find this helpful, give it a thumbs up!Customer WiFi:Washrooms: yesPower outlets: noPet friendly: noParking: free parking lotFood/Drinks: there were a good selection of sauces. They were good and were different not just slight variants of one another. I did find that the meat was a little on the dry side. The corn bread with the butter was super good highly recommend. The sides were good and I especially like how they use a bechamel base for their Mac and cheese.Service: very warm service and friendly hospitality. We were fairly well taken care of.Atmosphere: hidden gem in the middle of a random neighborhood. Interior is not what you would expect looking from the outside. Place has a nice welcoming yet relaxed feel to it.If you found this helpful, let me know by leaving a thumbs up!

It was pretty good bbq, portions are fair, the sauces are tasty. My only complaint was serving my bbq bowl of warm fries on a cold salad plate. I would have liked my warm meal to be warm when I got it.

We purchased the philly cheese steak sandwich from the food truck. It was truly disgusting. That's the worst $13 I've ever spent at a food truck. It was dry and the meat tasted (no joke) like dog food. Very disappointing.

Haven't had Smokehouse in years. Finally had a chance at the Father's Day Car show this year and I beat the rush by getting it early. I love brisket and this sandwich definitely hit the spot. BBQ and cars are a perfect combo.

Delicious! We ordered off menu a platter sampler. From there we just ordered more of what we liked. We also ordered the cauliflower (delicious) and brussel sprouts in cow boy butter, french fries and beans. It was all so good. They have a dedicated fryer for gluten free. The owner makes his own BBQ sauces. They are all gluten free escort for the apple wood one which has beer in it

Excellent sides!The bbq offerings are nicely done, but standard fare. Where Smokehouse shines is its sides. Chicken Fried ribs, excellent housemade chips, glorious mac n' cheese. The sides alone are worth a visit and the brisket ain't bad either.

Scarlet was our waitress. Beyond amazing. Made me feel so comfortable and was super knowledgable about the menu and all the events they have going on. Best fries I've ever eaten and the ribs were out of this world!

Came here for lunch, we were lucky enough to arrive before the lunch rush, but even then the service was friendly and the food came out relatively quick. Food was good, only comment would be that the fries have a bit more of a crisp on them. Overall good food and a good atmosphere.
