A colleague recommended this restaurant when she found out I was traveling to Calgary for the day and am I ever glad she did! Thanks Kate!
I was warmly greeted as soon as I walked in & was seated immediately. Brandy was my server & she was just fabulous! Brandy is very friendly & is very knowledgeable about the menu. I had the Burgoo Soup & deep fried pickles served fast & piping hot & delicious! I ended my meal with the Smoked Maple Cheesecake
...interesting smoky flavour along with the delicious sweet maple syrup drizzle....so delicious!!! Definitely a must to try if you love cheesecake! I was pleasantly surprised that John, the owner took the time to stop & chat with me at my table. Thanks Brandy & John for a wonderful dining experience, I’ll definitely be back!
Really nice place. Super clean and the staff is friendly. The food was quick and the taste was amazing. Worth the drive from Red Deer!
My wife and I were in Calgary yesterday and tried this place for lunch before heading out. She ordered a Smoked chicken burger and I ordered the pulled pork poutine. The pork was very well cooked juicy, smoky, and had just enough spices to give it a subtle bite. There was the perfect amount of gravy but a little bit lite on the cheese. Fries were good and crisp but soft on the inside. The rub used on the chicken tasted great and the chicken perfectly cooked with delicious fresh tomato and lettuce. The only thing I would have done differently would be to pound the chicken or butterfly cut it before putting the rub on so the chicken breast fills the bun allowing you to get tasty chicken in every bite.
Superb! Seriously you can not have a better experience if you are into this kind of cuisine anywhere else in Calgary! It is been more than 5 years now that I am a frequent flyer here and never been disappointed! Service is perfect and food is awesome! The best thing about here is the meat quality! And believe me I am super picky when it comes to meat!
Make sure you try house brewed iced tea! It is awesome!
Just give it a try and you won’t be able to resist the temptation to return!
The beef ribs are delicious. Huge portions. Poutine was good. Beans are excellent. Pulled pork wasn’t my favorite and I prefer it more moist. Good overall.
Best pork ribs I've ever had! Smoked to perfection and glazed with just the right amount of sauce. I've eaten a lot of ribs over the years and this has been the best so far
Went here for lunch and loved it. Can't wait to go back and try more! Delicious pulled pork, super filling and full of flavour. Can choose marinated coleslaw or spicy, they also have a few different BBQ sauces, i tried the mustard one and it was great. Deep fried pickles and the dip are also very good. Awesome service! Food came quick, although we were there when it wasn't busy.
We had the Priscilla platter and it was a good amount of food. My favourite was the beef brisket, it was so delicious. The pulled pork was good too, it would probably make a really good sandwich. The coleslaw and beans were perfect side dishes. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Calgary.
Kid friendly
Great bbq for Canada
We had the 80 dollar platter. It was great for two big boys their wives. They have a few bourbon. Not huge selection
I visited this restaurant twice. I liked the food and the setting. I've tried their brisket and dry ribs. I found their cornbread to be moist and tasty. Service was fine the 2 times that I visited the restaurant.
Friendly service, so many options, you definitely need to try this place more then once. The platter for two was the perfect amount of delicious. Delicious spices, sauces and tender flavour filled meats. There is a reason Big T's is known as one of the best places for BBQ. Must try!
Busy for a Sunday night but did not have to wait long for a table. Had the gutbuster with veggies. Nothing to write home about for the veggies but the main was great. Lots of food. Friend had the pulled pork with coleslaw and cornbread. She liked her meal as well. Service was pleasant enough. Prices were very reasonable. Recommend this place.
I was so excited after seeing this restaurant was featured on "You've Gotta Eat Here" on the Food Network. The menu points out what exactly was on the show. The platters have a range - I shared the smallest one with two other ladies and we ate to fullness and still had some leftovers! The low range (2) would be two very hungry guys. The rest of the table was jealous of our platter - we got to try a bit of everything. The coleslaw isn't creamy - very fresh and flavourful. My favourite out of the meat was the pulled pork. One lady preferred the brisket. I found the ribs a bit dry - good thing it's served with extra barbecue sauce. The chicken was moist and tender. The cornbread was sweet and perfect end to the meal. The smoked poutine looked really good, too.
The staff hers is just amazing. They cater to everything, super fast, super friendly. Management is excellent as well. So polite! Their sausages are amazing, and the ribs are honestly to die for. I've never had better ribs in my life. Fall off the bone, melt in your mouth, and the amount of food you get for the price is ridiculous. You will NOT leave this place hungry, you will leave satisfied. Thanks to the staff and manager for brightening up my day today. Can't wait to come back. 🙏🏼
The flavours of the Memphis style rib and the brisket was unique and delicious. Both meats were cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. Service was great. Unfortunately the sides did not compliment the mains. Fries are just frozen and then fried, coleslaw was just a mush of veggies, corn bread was really dry. Brisket sandwich could also use some kind of aioli on the bun or perhaps “au jus” to take it to that satisfactory level. Overall it’s a great place to have some bbq dishes and I would highly recommend it. But just request to owner/management to get fresh cut fries, better coleslaw and something to moisten the brisket sandwich. Should be relatively easy to do.
Great place for a family, group or even a single person. We had the barbecue ribs and it was great, perfectly sauced and falling off the bones. It was delicious and we had a good time. The waiter was cool too. I definitely recommend.
I had St. Louis ribs half rack first but it was so good that i ordered another half. It was big meaty & tender fall off the bone as described. The best poutine gravy ever! Loved the smoked mapple cheesecake.
Stopped at Big T's due to hunger getting the better of us. Checked reviews and decided to try it out and glad we did. Nothing better then the smell of smoked meat.
Service was great. It was about 8:00 when our family came in and the server took very good care of us even though she was very busy.
Good food choices - too many when the group is hungry as we wanted to try a little of everything. One of the group had the brisket and loved it, two had the chicken sandwich which was very good - tender and juicy but lacked the smoky taste. The other had the meatloaf and liked it. The portion was too big but was large enough for me to try a few left over bites. The ribs looked good as some other tables were having them. Cornbread was excellent.
A great experience and something we will go to again, next time we are in Calgary.
Very happy with the quality and the quantity! The Memphis Dry Ribs were exactly what I was craving - all meat, but juicy. Well smoked. The spicy slaw was fantastic as we're the beans...sweet, smokey but not over the top.
