Stone City BBQ

First restaurant I stopped at in Kingston. Extremely impressed. Beef Brisket is an absolute must.Owners are really genuine and a pleasure to be supporting. Don't miss this Gem.

Tried this joint for the first time because of all the good reviews and recommandations. I was quite a bit disapointed. First i have to say that the staff are extremely friendly and the service is great. I tried the Beef brisket plate and the classic poutine. The poutine was pretty good, a bit on the expensive side though. The beef brisket plate was not good at all, i tried everything but was disapointed. The beef was very vry dry, i choked on it and there was barely any sauce, just a tbsp on top of it and the beef was no brisket. Served with beans: basically good but the pieces of beef in the beans were also dry, the side of cole slaw i’m sure would have been good if it was not drowning in dressing and i did not get the side of corn bread, they gave me extra fries but did not tell me when i ordered, i would have asked for something else. I may try again at some point and order something else to compare, then i will know for sure if i like the place or not. Again, the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Best BBQ in Ontario and can compete for the Canadian title any day.( I'd say it's between them and Fait á Los in Quebec city with ease)Locally owned and operated Stone City BBQ comes close to destroying any reason to attend Kingston's BBQ festival, variety maybe? Providing succulent offerings of slow smoked meats this is as close as you get to carnivore heaven. While the place is located in a carwash you need to realize it's a feature not a bug. Like classic Southern pit houses with the meat being cooked off site or in the parking lot, Stone City BBQ is a BBQ distribution center not a restaurant. You aren't there to eat, you're there to purchase hours, HOURS, of perfectly cooked meat, prepared for you to take and enjoy in your terms. There is no way to make this fast and as such there is only limited supply, they can't just whip up more fresh, this isn't fresh it's real BBQ. The sign on the door stating that they're open until 7 or the meat is gone is your best sign off quality. Step in here knowing they never make it to seven, for a reason.The core options are what is to be expected, brisket with exceptional meat to fat ratio(if I've said it once I'll say it a hundred times this place refuses to skimp on flavour), chicken that's moist and Smokey and pulled pork that pulls itself if you look at it intently. These are all paired intentionally with the houses sauces. But feel free to play with meat/sauce combos. The fantastic team is more than willing to accommodate and I can say hand on heart it's all delicious. In addition there are wings and ribs, you really can't go wrong walking in or calling and asking them what you should have that day.So there are the basic platters that come with creamy slaw, a cornbread muffin that may be 50% butter, 45% honey and 60-65% comfort, the math works out when you bite into these believe me. And if you don't, spread some of the beans you get, again packed with pieces of chopped brisket and pulled pork across the muffin and try it again, eyes closed. The math works.In addition to the platters there are great poutines, regular or piled with BBQ. The Trinity is a meal for 4, packed with all three meats over a tub of crispy fries. I ask for a drizzle of their Memphis sauce on top, and while my wife always gets mad when I bring it home and interrupt clean eating" she and the kids lean into this seemingly unending pile of goodness with reckless abandon.Meat on a bun and redneck tacos also bring smiles to eyes and fill hunger pangs as great hand held options.If say the downside of this place is the meat coma

Whoa - Heck Ya. You guys are amazing. We have a smoker and can't get a brisket to turn out like yours. Just amazing. The owner is also super chill. Pre Covid we had a few good chats. Great people great food.

Ridiculously tasty food. I especially love their redneck tacos. The food tastes so fresh because it always is. I wish they could be open more days of the week, but I understand that this way they can keep the food the most fresh. Easily worth a dedicated trip from across town, or even from out of town. Once the 3rd crossing is complete I imagine we'll come by even more often.

Excellent BBQ! Smoked brisket and chicken were mouth watering, wings were brined first then fried so they were juicy inside and crispy outside, awesome with their home made dry rub. Can't wait to go back!

I ordered the Brisket sandwich, was pretty happy with it overall, but wish it had some smoke flavor and better bark on the outside of the meat. I found the meat to be more of a pulled brisket from a slow cooker rather than a BBQ brisket. The bun and sauce complimented the brisket very nicely.

Oh my,,,, I had trepidation going into a bbq joint attached to a car wash but was I wrong. I had tried ’bbq’ in ktown once before. Not at Stone City though. It was inedible. Shoe leather.Stone City is the perfect blend of flavour, moisture, texture and friendly. I ordered brisket and pulled pork and wow! I’ll be back next weekend. Amazing deliciousness. Thank you!!!

Great southern food with friendly helpful staff. Had the Frickles - love the dipping sauce, Beef Taco , Mac &Cheese bites, a side corn bread and a Pulled Pork Reg Platter. Would 100% recommend it to anyone.

Ate the brisket, pulled pork, ribs, baked beans and slaw. Everything was excellent. Slaw was little heavy in the Mayo but honestly I didn't go there for 'healthy food', and we really liked it. Price is high, but we thought it was well worth it. Will definitely go back and I strongly suggest you give them a try.
