I'm going to start by saying I have never written a FB review of a restaurant. But this place called for it!!
Unreal BBQ. Seriously. We tried all 6 meats and were hard pressed to choose a favourite....each with their own special qualities making each one 'the best'. The sides were also outstanding...not just an afterthought. They are also made with such apparent care. Standouts being the Brussels Sprouts, the collard greens, the mac and cheese and of course those fries!
Right down to dessert where the pecan pie also has walnuts in it...very interesting and different, was delish, as was the bread pudding.
On top of this amazing food and cool atmosphere (with great playlist going by the way) you have Alex, the owner and creator of these finely crafted dishes. He is a pleasure...he introduced himself to our table and asked if we enjoyed our meal. And we all had a nice chat with him.
We will be back for sure. We missed a few items. Like the fries chicken!
Amazing food and service! Get the tasting platter for two, and don't skip the pulled pork! The drinks are spectacular as well. Highly, highly recommend this place.
The food is good, I like the music they had playing, and the overall aesthetic of the restaurant was really nice. The table is a little small but we did order quite a lot of food for two. The portions are very shareable. Their brisket is really soft, the pulled pork and the ribs were superb. The sides and the cocktails were pretty good too. Their coleslaw was our dinner favourite. My s/o disliked ribs but the ones here made him change his mind. It's a nice place to enjoy barbeque! There is street parking but this street can get a little packed.
Absolutely loved Smoque N Bones. Food was delicious and they had great beers on tap. Got a couple of different combo platters so we could try a lot of stuff.
I do agree with a couple of other viewers that the ribs and the mac and cheese are surprisingly not that good. The mac and cheese is creamy but not cheesy. And the ribs are kind of tough. Definitely not fall off the bone. You would think they'd be staples.
But they were more than made up for by the sausage wings, chicken and onion rings. And the pulled pork is probably the best I've ever had. Loved the barbecue and mustard sauces. The portions are also very generous.
Our compliments to the chef and team for the tasty meal. Our server was nice and made some great suggestions. The music was an interesting choice for a BBQ smoke house but had fun guessing the classic tunes. The only issue for me was that the AC was cranked a bit too high. Overall i would go back to try some more ribsđ
Ordered ribs and salad ahead of time, and they prepared it exactly on time. Staff were super friendly and accommodating.
Excellent quality of ribs! Superb texture on the ribs and the sauce was also on point. The side we ordered, beet salad, tasted quite fresh.
Parking is a bit tough, but then again it is Queen StâŚ
All in all, would visit again, perhaps for a dine-in next time.
Incredible! My partner and I were craving BBQ and we honestly took a risk on this place since we did not know it. It was a bit on the pricier side but it was so worth it! The food is real BBQ, not âbbq styleâ like most places nowadays where they just add BBQ sauce and call it BBQ.
At Smoque n Bones, the meats are cured, smoked, grilled, barbecued in house. The entire first floor is basically a giant smoke shop haha
The meat and spices on all food including the sides, fries, and coleslaw salad is spot on. I highly recommend getting the sampler for 2 as it includes a little bit of everything and 3 sides! Really good value for what you get.
The alcohol selection is very nice as well and the establishment decor has cottage outdoor family barbecue vibes. I havenât come across a similar restaurant in Canada, these BBQ spots are usually better in the US.
Great service, good food, highly recommend going on a weekday when itâs not PACKED.
Thank you!!!
The staff were friendly and the place wasn't too crowded. I tried the beef brisket and it was good. It definitely needs something on the side though. I'm not a big eater and even I wasn't really full afterwards. Also expect to wait a bit before your meal is ready.
One of the best barbecue that I ever had! But the true star of the night was the chocolate brownie, all I can say is I will never forget this desert, one of the best of my life! Simply amazing restaurant.
