Totally enjoyed the meat. Had pulled pork and wings. You don't come here to eat kale and gluten free anything, you come here because you want real southern BBQ and they deliver. Great food , great value, and the cornbread is yummmmmm eee!
Not a bad little place for pretty decent BBQ. The service was excellent and the restaurant was clean. They’re in dire need of proper ventilation as we had to completely change our clothes when we got home due to the smell of grease and smoke.
Worth he trip to Kanata if you’re craving BBQ.
Excellent job catering our outdoor BBQ for 140 people
We needed a caterer for a surprise anniversary party for 140 people, which happened just this past Saturday. So happy we chose Big Bone BBQ! Manny and Andrea were amazing! We received several outstanding compliments about the food, the service and the setup. Manny was great to work with -- very accommodating, very responsive to my emails, open to requests, provided great recommendations /advice; overall, just really good at what he does. On the day of the event: great equipment brought on site, really good with our guests, extremely helpful and accommodating. The food was fabulous!!! Andrea is a sweetheart and helped out in all sorts of ways. Highly recommended and would be delighted to speak further with anyone who wants more information from me about the great work Manny does.
So happy to have found this gem in our neighbourhood. We had a sampling of 3 of their smoked meats and were very impressed with them all - smoked wings, ribs and pulled pork. This will definitely become one of our regular dining spots!
The food was delicious! The meat was smoked in-house and the portions were perfect. We shared pulled pork nachos which were delicious! The smoked wings were awesome and the sauces on the side were creative and tasty. But the ribs were truly the highlight... tender, cooked perfectly and just the right sauce. We will definitely return!
I believe many people over the internet who rate food are not your average person..... I saw some reviews on this place as I was looking up the phone number to place an order and was shocked to see such a low rating... I go here about once every two weeks ever since I have found out about the place. I have been to many rib fests all over Ontario (many of which were downtown Ottawa) and have literally tried ribs from every single contestant... I would say these ribs are for sure in the top 3 that I have tried (adding some Alabama heat to the ribs really is to die for), their wings also are much better than wild wing considering I worked there for a number of years, ages ago.
Pulled pork, ribs & wings are good. Wasn't a fan of the brisket, very tough. Have gotten takeout there 3 times, never an issue, quick service, but last time they didn't included cornbread, whether it was an oversight or didn't have any ready, I'm not sure. Didn't realize till I was home.
Absolutely awsome Memphis style bbq! You get a ton of food for the price. Staff is very friendly. The pulled pork was great and the beef ribs were fantastic. Smoked wings were ok, will be trying the fried next time to compare. Take out is fast. Highly recommend this place!
Ribs:
Out of all the ribs I've had in Ottawa this place ranks second or third in my books. The only place I enjoy more for the taste are the Mill Street Brewpub's which they only offer once a week on their rib night. Mill St. can be difficult to get to, so Big Bone wins out for ease of access and also having ribs on demand. Big Bone also has a good deal for a rib/wing/side combo on Monday, and we've made it a once monthly routine.
Wings:
I like Big Bone's wings even better than their ribs, and their Kansas BBQ sauce is the exact flavor I crave. This is my go-to place for wings now. I do not care for Wild Wing's wings and Local Heroes hasn't been up to par for ages.
Sides:
The coleslaw is okay but nothing special. Their fries have an interesting texture: crunchy on outside and soft on the inside, almost as if they are breaded. I like the fries enough but prefer getting a salad instead of fries - the salads are large but basic - I have no problem with that. My spouse really likes their beans... to my detriment.
