Reviews
Was super excited to try this place out as I haven't had ribs in quite some time. We ordered a number of items, including snack packs, wings and beef and pork ribs. The ribs were extremely underwhelming. Pork ribs in particularly felt too dry. The beef ribs had an extremely pungent beefy smell. Was difficult to eat, we weren't able to finish the beef ribs shared among three people. The pickles were a bit on the stronger side, and a bit too sour. The side side dishes were probably the highlight which says a lot. Overall, the quality of food here does not justify the price imo. The Bavarian at highpoint does 3 fold better ribs and the Bavarian is v average.
Not much parking options near by. Few spots out front and a dead end street behind it which is usually full. Attempted to come here last week but aborted due to no parking near by. Nice store layout. I didn't think the customer service was that flash or friendly and I felt like I was intruding for my fairly early dinner around 5.00pm. Order by QR code at table or you can order at counter. Ordered the brisket sandwhich, chips and a coke. Food to table tine was good. Brisket sandwhich burger was very good and enjoyable. Chips average, nothing flash. Bit overpriced for $10 plus $2 for dipping sauce. Overall, decent enough but price point of $38.65 a little steep.
Was so excited to see a smokehouse restaurant open at Watergardens. Unfortunately, it was nothing but underwhelming. A mate and I decided to share the $68 platter, after splitting it between us what we had can be seen as the plate of food in the photo. $34 for that tiny plate of food is absolutely ridiculous. The tiny ramekin of mac and cheese is priced at $10 which is absurd, it's about two spoonfuls! We got a serve of chips that can be seen in the photos is priced at $9, that was about 5 chips each! Spent $43ea and I've come home hungry. Both the pork and beef ribs were dry and definitely not fall off the bone. The mac and cheese was good, there just needed to be 3 times more of it for the price. My biggest regret is that I didn't say anything before eating it, maybe I was hopeful it would actually fill me up, it didn't. So so so disappointing. If you value your hard earned money and actually want to be full and satisfied when leaving a restaurant then this is not the place for you.
Up In Smoke offered a great variety of bbq platters and drinks. The Texas-style bbq platters that we ordered were delicious; tender meat, flavourful sauces, and generous in portion. Loved the mozzarella sticks and Mac and cheese sides too. Service was friendly and the venue was spacious with an outdoor dining area. It was a great option for group dining.
Food was amazing. Had the poutine and the tray with ribs chicken plus other condiments and sides. For two people, it was plenty of food and we couldn't finish it so we boxed it and took home. The ribs were dry rubbed and was super super tender, falling off the bone. The sauce was also incredible! Very tangy. The pickles on the tray would help balance all these flavours out nicely. If you come here, you'll be full for sure even though it doesn't look like a lot of food.
Good flavour and quite tasty, the meat was a bit dry. The mozzarella sticks were nice, and the milk bun was soft
Beef short rib and jalapeño sausage was the highlight. Pull pork and burnt bit brisket was too dry for our liking. Pickles and milk buns were a delicious compliment.
My partner and I were looking forward to try this restaurant. We got there and were seated at the table without water until we finished our meal. I thought it might have been self service but I saw other tables having water and glasses with them when they were seated. Service was a bit poor. I noticed and assumed there was a new waitress. She asked if we're waiting for our food because she saw us waiting for a while. However, she took food to the wrong table a few times including our ribs and brisket. Brisket was dry and plain. Not much taste to it. Spicy wings were just okay. Ribs were also plain and not as saucy so it was a bit dry. Let's just say we were disappointed and probably not coming back. Thank you.
Generous portions! Nice place to chill and drink. Love their wings! Parking is limited.
Exceptional American bbq here at Up in Smoke. Started with the burnt end poutine. Some impressive cheese curds and gravy in the poutine. We had the Mac and cheese and coleslaw as our sides. For mains pulled pork, brisket, sausage and a beef rib. Everything was cooked to perfection and super flavourful. 10/10! My only suggestion for the owners would be to serve different kinds of complimentary bbq sauces and condiments for the meats and some butter for your fully bread rolls.
