I just picked up from the BTP location a few minutes ago and their Mac & Cheese with pulled pork was absolutely amazing!!! One order for me is 2 servings for sure.I also ordered the Corn Bread - Heavenly!!!They have many outdoor picnic tables and tables (all ages side) with table-side service.I think I am going to organise a craft-in here with friends.

Was craving for some brisket so I did a bit of search and found this BBQ place in town. I tried their brisket sandwich. It was very good. The brisket melts in my mouth. Lots of flavour too. The fries are a bit salty for me but still decent. Staff are very nice and friednly. However, I think some of the items in the menu are slightly overpriced. My overall rating: 4/5.

Please stick with making the beer.Food was basic except that they put on much seasoning on EVERYTHING.no true service.You order through an app or go to the bar. .order a Hailey alcoholic drink, watered down and no flavour. Supposed tp have raspberry flavourIt was comouringBiggest 11 dollar waste.The 2 x dusted wings were not at all dusted and dry overcooked with too much sauce.Sadly this os wjere I went for my birthday supperWhy are we paying tip?Suggested 18% for the waitress to show up to tell us to order from an app.Ketchup packets, a whole 3 of them and no salt or condiments.Then waitress takes plates.Wow. Lousy and sad service.Never trust a place just because someone things they know how to bbq.Come on, Montanas does it betterOh and to serve on old scratched up plastic trays is awful. They are so ruined and gross.

Disappointed in the quality of the food. I had a hard time cutting through my ribs. The potato salad was odd it seemed vinegar based but creamy also? Best part was the coleslaw. The online ordering was fine but there should be an option to add to the order or get help for water, condiments etc

Not a fan of this location. Preferred the Clarence St one. Food was okay. Nacho plate was huge and the Louisiana Chicken sandwich was tasty.

$47 (before tip) for a brisket with cold beans, corn bread, and a ramekin of slaw’ with pickles and a cider (*April ‘23).Staff did their best. It was late (within an hour of kitchen closing) but wow…Meat was decent. Sauce forgettable. Beans were disgustingly cold. Corn bread was lukewarm.Staff was apologetic and tried, so no hate their way. Sad because I want to like this place with their dog-friendly patio and whatnot. Maybe this is how it is now in 2023?

Best BBQ in town. No, best BBQ in the region of the national capital. No best BBQ in Quebec and Ontario. NO best BBQ in Canada! And they got awesome beer from BTP to! Friendly staff, awesome people. Go there! Try it! Love it! ❤️

Was very good food. Portions way above expectation. I don't get the whole go to the bar to give your order but the tip suggestion starts at 18%. I gonna tip myself the next time I'm at McDonald's and have to pour my own drink and clear my table. It's a nice spot, huge patio. Service was prompt.

We came here for lunch this past weekend- overall, it’s a fun, relaxed vibe with lots of good beers (also has to go) and food. You have options to order at the bar or using their QR code but a bit confusing as the two menus did not match entirely.Food wise, we ordered brisket, ribs along with a side of mac and cheese. Everything was tasty except found rib portion was a bit small in comparison to price.I’ve previously eaten at Smoque Shack several times back when they were still in the market and alway enjoyed!

Tonight was our first time at the new location. We've always been a fan of the food. I'm happy to report the quality hasn't changed. We had the ShaQue burger with fries, the Nashville Fried Chicken with fried pickles, mac & cheese, onion rings, and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious, but the onion rings and fried pickles are the best I've ever had.The only thing I will say about the new location is it's very loud. We could barely have a conversation, so don't go for the ambiance. Also, we decided to order from the QR code on the table. The downfall of this is you can't ask questions about the menu. I was going to have wings but didn't feel confident choosing a sauce and didn't have anyone to ask. So next time we might order at the bar instead. If they continue with this type of ordering, I would recommend adding descriptions to the items to make it easier.
