JC'S Smokehouse

Tried the Brisket, Ribs, and Pulled Pork. All three were Fantaatic. I would recommend trying this place.

Might go back; might not. Driveway not plowed despite 4 wheeler sitting out front with a plow on it, maybe it was out of order? Good for snowmobilers, 4 wheel drive vehicles & all wheel drive vehicles with snow tires, in my opinion. Waited several minutes for someone to come out from the kitchen to acknowledge us. Did have a group in & was busy making their food. Kinda gruff. Amusing, but some might find it offputting. Overheard a comment to put the buns in the steamer so they'd be warm. More on that later. Gave us time to not just peruse menu but look around. Picnic table seating inside. Food wrapped in paper/foil & served on a tray that you pickup at the cash. Rustic verging on rough decor. Wood board floor appears unpainted in spots, chipping off in others. Ordered mac & cheese, brisket bun & pulled pork bun. Cook/waiter growled at us in a frustrated manner that he hadn't got to the sandwiches yet, he was still writing down the mac & cheese. Asked the sandwiches be cut in 2 & swapped so that we could each try both. He agreed to cut in 2 but said we'd have to swap them. Ok. No problem. Things started to look up when the food came out fast! He was having trouble entering our order on the computer system. Gave us napkins & utensils! We paid & thanked him & he thanked us back! Took the food out & ate in our vehicle. Nothing to do with the inside, just us, but on our way out a couple snowmobilers came in, turned & left. Not sure why. Brisket was good, nice flavour, not dry, sandwich had some tasty pickles & pickled onions that I would ask for more of if we go back. Pulled pork was even better, although a couple of saltier bites. Having looked at the website, expected coleslaw on the pork but there wasn't any. Buns were cold. Either they never made it to the steamer or they weren't there long enough. Sandwiches were filling & there was lots of meat on them. We were satisfied with the quantity of the meat. Outside of one sandwich wrapper was OK, but the other was quite greasy-not ideal for takeout eaten on your lap. Mac & cheese...opened it, didn't look inspiring & it wasn't. I ate one shell, husband had 2 bites. Reminded me of commercial powdered cheese sauce. We threw the rest in the garbage. Trust me, do yourself a favour & give the mac & cheese a miss. $31. We did not tip for reasons that I think are obvious from what I've written. Hubby says 2 stars & not going back-he's eaten BBQ in the US, so he might be on the spoiled side for that. I say 3 & might go back to try the other meats...beef & montreal smoked meat & maybe the coleslaw. I'd eat either sandwich again. I think the owner is the cook, server, cashier & driveway plow person. Not a young man & lots of jobs, so thinking everything might be a bit much for him or maybe just an off day. Wish them the best & hope they're able to work out a few of the kinks that could take this from decent take out sandwich to a really different & enjoyable place to grab a bite.

Amazing food and very friendly owner! Brisket, pulled pork, Montreal smoked meat Sambo and smoked olives great! Perfect stop on the sleds

Stopped for a trail lunch today first time visit. The place was packed. People eating outside on their snowmobiles. Service was fast considering there was 20 people in front of me. Food was great we had a brisket sandwich and Mac bowl with pulled pork. Great job guys. Won't be my last visit!

Top notch brisket here! Don't drive by without stopping. I'll absolutely be back.

We had the brisket smoked cream corn and macaroni salad all was good brisket was amazing will definitely be back when in the area

Amazing Meat...absolutely the best brisket EVER!!

The food here is amazing. It’s somewhat setup for takeout until they get more settled in. They will have more tables for winter. We showed up on our fourwheelers and the owners setup a table for our group of 6. The brisket was unreal. Highly recommend eating here.

Absolutely amazing food, locally owned business. Brisket and pork sandwiches and salads are the best I ever had. Also has everything you need for your own bbq. Highly recommending, unforgettable experience.
