Review The Smoque Shack - Ottawa

Jer Green (Greener)
We were wondering about bringing our kids to this restaurant at first due to its biker bar styled appearance ...but we are glad we did! The staff there made the kids feel special and gave us some great recommendations for dinner. I usually come to smokehouses for the brisket but the chicken was the real home run here! Their house BBQ sauce made it that much better. We will be back!

Older staff makes for a way better experience. Amazing night out! First time there and instantly will be my new hangout. Food was awesome. Try the Derby. Host was phenomenal. They know how to run a business. Jon Taffer would be proud.

It WAS SO GOOD!!! OMG. Such a great place. Ambiance was perfect. Server extremely nice and helpful. Food was out of this world. Found parking right down the road. Would go back in a heart beat.

Post restrictions update: met the owner, Shawn, who is passionate (and awesome) about his place. New addition; a speakeasy area dedicated for private events. Great idea, and creates a better atmosphere for regular patrons. Shawn gave us a mini tour and a treat at the end, for a memorable experience. Good place for BBQ in the area. Beef brisket: consistently good and would recommend it over the rest of the items. Baked beans: a solid choice as well, has bits of brisket mixed in. Corn bread: a nice crust and soft/sweet in the middle, addictive. Mac and cheese: creamy, though might be just “cheese sauce”. Ribs: dry rub and is good, though no baby back option. Fries: decent. Chicken: appears on the dry side. Thursday all you can eat ribs is a great value.

Amazing pulled pork.. succulent and full of flavor! Great sides.. we tried the fried corn on the cob.. very tasty! Will definitely make a regular place to dine! Love the water faucets in the bathrooms! Mini.motorcycle! The entire restaurant is very clean and inviting. Also they have a very cheerful, knowledgeable staff! Great find!

Shawn and his team recently catered our event for 40 people. WOW!!!! Amazing service from start to finish. Shawn had wonderful ideas on presentation, and you could tell the passion he has for his food while speaking with him. Day of, everything arrived, well packed, labeled, and the perfect temperature. The food was on point. The BBQ was amazing. The sauces were fantastic. GO to this place to eat!!!!

Amazing place with great staff. Friend told me to visit this place while in Ottawa. Amazing ribs comparable to state of Kentucky which is not easy to pull off as they are one of the top state in the USA for ribs. I also love that you can choose which sauce you want as they have three different bottles at the table.

I came to Fatboys for dinner with my dad yesterday evening and we were both absolutely blown away by the food. It was absolutely delicious. The service though was on a whole other level. Our server was extremely polite and attentive, yet not too invasive, which is exactly what I like. I also have to mention that the service is REALLY FAST. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes, on a beautiful Friday evening. My only little disappointment was that my delicious vanilla milkshake was served in a disposable plastic cup instead of a reusable cup, despite the fact that we ate in. Overall, fantastic experience. I will be returning!

The poutine was the absolute best that I have ever tasted! The fries were perfectly seasoned and everything was so fresh. Can not recommend enough!!

Came here with my wife to celebrate our anniversary and we were very impressed. We had ribs, wings and fries and it was all fantastic. The staff was super friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place!

Got a grey and old piece of chicken from them today after waiting over an hr for delivery from skip. It’s not editable whatsoever and would have probably put in the hospital if I ate it.

Everything on the menu looked so amazing we had trouble choosing. So we ordered way more than we could eat! Definitely recommend it.

We wanted to try everything but 2 of us decided to share a few items. Mac & Cheese! Yummy! Very cheesy, lots of flavour. Brisket, was tender and tasty. Caesar salad, real croutons, big chunks of double smoked bacon, tasty dressing (lettuce was cut pretty big) but that’s a personal choice. My only disappointment was the poutine. Based on the number of orders coming out I may be the only one who thinks this. I like thick cut fries (these are thin) lots of real curds (melts and delicious), but the gravy was pretty bland. Which I thought odd for a smokehouse. Overall a great place. Friendly staff, good food, big portions, good beer. Would go back if in the area.

Went there last weekend. Really enjoyed the meat platter. Will hopefully go back one day when I come back to visit Ottawa

Based on internet reviews we thought we would give them a try. So glad we did; absolutely delicious! Love that you can get 1/4 portions because with the sides, which are very generous portions, you end up with a lot of food. They were extremely busy so a bit of a wait for the patio, but service once we were seated was excellent. Will absolutely go again the next time we visit Ottawa.

3 years ago I would have said it was the best thing I'd ever eaten. Yesterday's experience was disappointing more than anything else.
Laura Gauthier
Delicious - ribs, wings, mac and cheese, poutine, brisket...all of it. Love the truck at Fury matches, and have made it a goal to get down to the full restaurant more often. Great selection and prices. Will be back for sure!

We went as a group of 4 on a Friday evening. We had to wait for a table for a while (understandable). The bartender was fabulous. He let us read through the menu, offered us drinks & kept us posted on the timing while we waited. The waiter was also very friendly but the bartender made our night. The food was amazing as well! Took a reasonable amount of time & came out piping hot & seasoned perfectly. Thanks for a great evening!
