This place has a nice vibe, it’s very Nashville. The cocktails here are really good. The steak was okay, it felt very burnt on the outside. The wings are good and so was the brisket. They have good variety of sides. There is live music on weekends as well! Check them out

For the food prices here, you get a lot for your dollar. But that's only half the story - the food is savoury, delicious and (most importantly) made all in house. The chef is incredible and there wasn't a single weak spot. We had a platter of basically everything and literally all of it was delicious. Dessert included. Have the excellent bartenders make you a martini as well! Try everything once and enjoy the live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights!

First time visit for us. The service was excellent! The food was delicious. I asked our server for appetizer and cocktail recommendations and I was not dissapointed! The empanadas are incredible! And the coconut crusher cocktail was easily enjoyed. The pulled pork was my favourite off of the platter. We were the only customers in the restaurant so that's why the atmosphere was a lower score. The place is big, well decorated and themed cowboy. I was told there is live music and line dancing on the weekends - I'll be back with some friends for that!!!!!

So this restaurants been around for a number of years now my wife and I regularly go to dinner but never have gone to this restaurant. I sincerely regret that I really truly enjoyed it. Hopefully, it will be there for quite some time. It’s a little bit expensive however nothing comes out of a plastic bag. Everything is made in house had excellent drink selection. I had a smoked old-fashioned and a smoked whiskey sour. Check out my photos. I had the Lamberger my wife had the bruschetta pizza. we did have some appetizers however didn’t take pictures and the dessert was a funnel cake with ice cream and crème brûlée cheesecake both were outstanding. My brother and sister-in-law are total foodies. Had a great evening guys thanks.

★★★

Service was timely and friendly. We started with their Mediterranean gourmet pizza, followed by their steak and fish tacos, and their creme brûlée cheesecake. Their food was okay, but did seem overpriced for the quality. I had the steak medium-rare, which was presented well on a platter. However the veggies seemed to look like old frozen ones, rather than freshly chopped and sautéed. The saffron rice were buttery, but did not have much of the saffron aroma or flavour in them. Id recommend enhancing the flavour of the dishes more to match the descriptions and prices!

The food is fabulous, we had the bruschetta, beef brisket, surf & turf and for dessert the apple blossom. The service is great too! If you are looking for a nice place to dine, this is it!

December 21, 2024

My friend and I ordered a 1 oz drink and the waiter messed up the order and gave us a double shot. When taking our order, she asked if we wanted 1 oz or 2, we VERY CLEARLY said 1. We have never been here before, we don t know if the sizes of the drink glasses are different between 1 oz and 2 oz shots. So, we obviously didn t know this until the drinks were done! This is an extremely irresponsible mistake that she made. I know my limits when I drink I was not expecting to have 2 shots tonight. Thank god I live near by. This could have ended worse. I m just surprised she has her smart serve. When our bills came, they did not honour their mistake, and made us pay for the 2 oz. drinks. This is unacceptable. I will never be coming back and I will never recommend this place to anyone.

What an amazing place! We heard about this on Q107. One of the hosts was raving about it so my Dad and I checked it out. Great food, amazing and attentive service and the owner came out and introduced himself. Was a very pleasant experience and plan to go again soon.

Looking forward to bringing the family back on Friday and Saturday night for more Blue Smoke BBQ. THANK YOU again.

BE AWARE!!!!!! We were there this past Saturday to see Rude E Bones. Great Band. But what we didnt like is when we saw the owner yelling, swearing and grabbed the woman by her arms as she just walked in. He made a complete scene infront of everyone. NO MAN SHOULD EVER PUT HIS HANDS ON A WOMAN. We will never return to Blue Smoke. The owner obviously needs argue management. We hope the lady sees this review and we hope that she is OK. BANDS should be very aware of playing in a place that treats their customers like this.

Mixed review. We booked a table a month prior but upon arrival found our table stuck in the corner with all seats facing a window. No change permitted based on larger parties coming in. Server was excellent and warned us of the large groups coming so we could put our order in before the rush, however we were finished before they arrived. The beef brisket was excellent, but the ribs were cold. Some work needs to be done to upgrade the quality of side dishes. Baked beans resembled refried beans and rice bland. Atmosphere was excellent as the they have line dancing every 2-weeks and lots of participants.

It was really amazing. The owner came around to the tables and I really appreciated that. The brisket is something I need to come back for soon. The biggest surprise of the night, apart from all the employees singing Happy Birthday to me, was the caramel on the apple blossom dessert.

This place did not open on time. The waitress showed up late and did not even bother to apologize. The fries were dry and hard

November 21, 2024

Went to restaurant on a Tuesday 630 pm dinner. 5-6 tables were in use. I was there as part of a family of 4. Dinner consisted of Ribeye steak dinner, grill chicken on house salad, plain burger with Mac n cheese, and Poutine with pulled pork. Our order was taken and we had to wait approximately 45 min for our meals to arrive even though it was not busy. I ordered my steak med-rare and it came charred on outside. The steak was cooked well on outside and was medium + in the center. I brought it to servers attention who in turn had manager attend. I was then told by her that that s what medium-rare looks like at BS. Our server was great and apologized whole heartedly. She advised that she would try and get meal taken care of. It wasn t. Manager didn t not even apologize. We ended up getting half off (the steak only) which is at least something. The burger was dry and over cooked. The burger bun was black on the inside. Needless to say my daughter thought it was unappetizing. The salad and chicken was good but portion size was small. The Poutine was a hit! Fresh cut fries were excellent. All in all we would not return or recommend it to others. For the menu prices we expected better quality of food.

I heard great things about this place but was terribly disappointed. Ribs were very salty ,cold over cooked ,dry and so were the fries etc portions were very small and overpriced drinks were great but everytime we ordered another round came in different glasses Line dancing was a big plus was fun. I think it can be a great place if menu is shrunk down too much to choose from and why pizza in a country restaurant?

Perfect place for my husband 50th birthday celebration. Last night we celebrated my husbands 50th birthday at Blue Smoke BBQ Smokehouse. It was absolutely perfect.

The service was amazing, the staff went above & beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and the food was fantastic. Every dish was a hit, bursting with flavour.

We were there to see a friend in a band. It was crowded, as expected. Overall we had a great evening. the food was okay however very disappointed with the portions of the platters. There were 4 in our group and we ordered the platter that served 3 - 5 people. We got one chicken leg, 3 ribs, 4 slices of roast and some watered down pulled pork, with 3 sides, and that cost $115. The wings and fries were much better.

October 21, 2024

This restaurant has no concept of the dining experience. How can you play music so horribly loud that you cannot even talk to the person next to you or even the servers???? Will never ever go back. There are other restaurants in Orangeville, Caledon and even Tottenham that have great food, great service and ambience. This used to be a great place. A birthday celebration was completely ruined after A 2 hour wait for mains that never came. Stay away!!!!!

Blue smoke is a very well put together and gently managed smoke house with a country atmosphere like no other. Their Friday night line dancing is great for anyone. They teach people simple or more intricate line dances for you to show off anywhere you find a good country beat. The food is so delightful. I had brisket for my first time there and it just melts n melds in you mouth with all the flavors. With a great staff and wonderful managment/owner its a place for all. From family nights to having beers with friends it has something that suits everyones taste. I have brought some friends there that arent big country fans and even they loved their time there. Its truly a place where you feel like youre at home once you walk in. Highly recommend spending time here.

Incredible First Visit I visited Blue Smoke for the first time this week, and I was really impressed! The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for inviting and with a great vibe. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially when it came to the menu, and the timing of everything was spot on not too fast, not too slow. The food? Absolutely amazing. The brisket was some of the best I ve had in a long time. The whole experience was top-notch. I m already planning to return, probably over the weekend, to check out the live music. Highly recommend Blue Smoke, a very nice spot in Bolton.

Though this place has been around for a year, I understand that they are in the process of rebranding this great spot as a destination for Country Music and BBQ lovers alike. Their BBQ is excellent, they hand butcher their CANADIAN meat onsite, all their sauces are made in-house and they serve the Best Fries Ive ever had. REALLY!!! Blue Smoke is managed by Jessica, a veteran in the hospitality industry, who instantly makes patrons feel welcome. Looking forward to coming in on a Saturday to enjoy live music.

Go anywhere else. First warning sign, empty on the Thursday night. I wanted to like this place but brisket should be juicy, flavourful and a great balance of meat and fat, caramelized on the edges. This was the opposite. It was pale, almost looked steamed, tasteless, verging on dry and the average BBQ sauce barely made it edible. The pork ribs were the same, cooked to the point of tastelessness, though not as dry, only redeeming factor the sauce. The sides were unimaginative and expensive for what you got. $31 for five thin strips of brisket and a small fries, too much. I gave it 2 stars because the restaurant business is hard and perhaps the burgers would be less disappointing, but I wont be back to find out. The waitress was lovely.

The food was delicious and the wait staff were very friendly and attentive. We were a bit surprised to see that they charge $8 for water (which we realized after the fact) but everything else about our dinner was great! Vegetarian options: There were enough interesting vegetarian options for me to choose from that I had a hard time picking just one to try! BBQ chickpeas offered as a protein add-on for the bowls and salads really increases the number of items to choose from that will still be filling. In the end, I went with the vegetarian platter which included an eggplant moussaka-type dish that I really enjoyed.

Very nice restaurant. Food was great, price was good. Food was a little slow but came out hot and fresh so I didnt mind the wait. Will definitely go back again.

August 21, 2024

Worst food. The music was horrible and toooo loud. Please do not order the steak. Horrible all around. If you look at the tables no one orders food. They are only there to drink water and tea. There is a reason maybe they know the horrible band?

We had the fried rice balls which were ok. My friend ordered the brisket and I the ribs. Sides are all extra and beer is only in cans which was a disappointment. There are three options for the size of the brisket (& the ribs), he got the middle option and it was still a very small portion. Ribs were good and the string fries weren t bad either. Overall we won t be going back.

Live Music was so loud you couldnt even hear the person next to you. Our requests to lower the music fell on deaf ears. Food came out dry. Owner sits at bar and stares you down as you come in. Their traditional BBQ is decent, but anything other than that Id skip, especially with the price being so high.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Had the Brisket. Amazing. Tender , moist, delicious. Carrot cake was the best ever. Sides are overpriced. Small cup of sweet potato fries is $9. Should be much less. Highly recommended. Will certainly return. Food

Could not hear the people at our own table. Not sure what s going on with the speakers, but it s horrible. We sat 5 feet from the live comedians & my friend kept saying, what did he say? . Tickets were $23 per person and comedians had loud mic s & we still had trouble hearing them. They should have tossed the whole sound system. Server offered Flat or Sparkling water, so, we chose Flat (as in Tap). I asked for Fish Tacos didn t have any. So, poutine & pizza then (to share). Pizza was so hard I couldn t cut it. Picked it up and chomped down on the hardest piece of stale overcooked thin bread. It hurt. Poutine was good, small, but good. Overcharge, removed from bill $8 water! Pizza - removed from bill. Poutine & alcohol-free Bellini HOLY $$$$

Loved this restaurant. The service was great, everyone was friendly. They had a band playing for dinner. The meals were pricy for the quality but the quality was really good Ordered octopus, steak and brisket. Their cocktails are decent as well! Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to access the restaurant

July 21, 2024

Our experience at Blue Smoke was not very good. We were seated for almost an hour before someone served us water. We waited over 2 hours for our meals. When they arrived the food was cold, and the steaks were over cooked. I questioned whether my filet was even a filet. The prices are very high, and as such you would expect very good quality. It s unfortunate because I would like to see small business do well in Bolton, I don t feel it s fair though send people to a restaurant that is so expensive, when the service and quality is extremely poor.

If you like fresh homemade food then Blue Smoke Restaurant is the place to eat! Friendly vibe with excellent service. Their smoked brisket was out of this world with tantalizing flavours and generous portions. The harmony of smoky, succulent meat combined with a perfectly balanced sauce left an incredible mark on my culinary palate. Blue Smoke Restaurant takes pride not only in the quality of their food but also in the warmth of their hospitality! If you find yourself craving a culinary adventure that transcends the ordinary, look no further and head to Blue Smoke Restaurant in Bolton.

Honestly this was a disappointing experience. Hearing from a few people to give this place a try, I caved, and I was absolutely disappointed. Went for Mother s Day dinner and we waited for a VERY long time for our meals, they all came out one at a time and everything was cold. Steaks were not cooked as asked. Mashed potato s tasted as though they were rotten and the veggies are another story. The girl who served us was good but for the price, you re better off going to the Keg or any other popular steak house and get real good food. Out of everything, the dessert was the best.

The prices were expensive for alcohol for sure I found. Some options had fair prices and others not so much. I had the trio which was more expensive than the mac and cheese and I didnt really like it. The mac and cheese was good but it was barely warm when I got it. I noticed the servers didnt really clean my table compared to other tables which I found annoying trying to make room for everything around me. The hot chocolate was good but too much whipped cream as it was colder than I expected. Hopefully next time will be better.

With its wonderful atmosphere, delightful service, and sumptuous food, Blue Smoke is The Culinary Experience in Bolton We had a fantastic time as a family yesterday. Our server, Maddy, was lovely and made sure we were well taken care of the entire evening. The rest of the staff were equally personable: their manager, Jessica, greet us with a smile and checked in with us throughout the evening; and their sommelier and Wine Master, GianCarlo, who served wine perfectly paired with the meal. From the special appetizers, to the amazing main meal and to the incredible desserts, every dish satisfied our palate and displayed the chefs technical prowess.

Going to begin by saying I was very impressed by the quality and taste of the food and selection of the food and drink. Prices were a bit on the high end and corkage should not be $45. I really do highly recommend this place though. I want them to succeed because Bolton deserves fine establishment. The wine list is truly impressive, its fairly priced and the wine guy is actually knowledgeable and not just a buzzword in a suit. They have a legit espresso machine and pull a proper shot. Now what wouldnibcua change? Lights were too bright, it was pretty cold inside, and the food came out not as warm as I would have liked it. But these are very minor issues and could easily be addressed or be one off occurences. I like this place 4.3/5

It is not a culinary experience. Food is alright, we had a party of 12 people and all of our meat dishes were either cold or warm... took approx 50 min to sort out the bill at the end. The octopus dish tasted great if we had more of it....it was more of a bean dish with a trace of octopus on top. I am sorry you cant charge $30 for a dish and serve beans!! The fries were over salted! Other than that food is a just. Save your time and money. PS Wish a took a picture of the octopus dish.

Dinner for 4 was barely warm, two pieces of vegetable on the plate. The silliest frites I ve ever had in my life, think a bag of hickory sticks. Ribs we re tasty but fatty. They offered to bring my wife a warm serving of brisket, then came back to say no brisket was available, this is at 6pm. What if someone else wanted to order brisket for dinner. Approximately $250.00 later we left very unsatisfied.

Although the service was good, the food was terrible. My steak was the worst steak Ive ever had, and that includes minute steaks. For a $50 steak, that just isnt good enough. My wife and two children thought their dishes were horrible as well. Sorry, we wont be back. If you want to stay open, you better get the food right, or people wont be returning.

December 21, 2023

Went last night for the first time as i just moved to bolton, on a thursday night at 6pm there was almost nobody in the restaurant, that being said it still took an entire hour for our food to get served and when it did i was extremely disappointed. The 42$ brisket was bone dry and tasted bland other than the bbq sauce they drowned it in, the chicken was soggy and bland aswell. I would highly recommend to avoid this place.

December 21, 2023

Pricey for the location. Nice ambiance and very chill. My dish wasnt bad. I had the chop. Nice size and Interesting blend of ingredients, but very set back with the sides. My wife had the fish and that was bad. Fish was bland and luke warm. The rice was cold and only four stands of veggies. Not worth the price at all. The drinks are way over priced which set the total higher than expected. Leave a cash tip if necessary because the minimum choice is 18%. For a meal that only lasted an hour, it was a good payday for them. There are other steak houses to choose from that are better.

Quality, environment, and service do not reflect the value of their food. Steak was okay at best, cooked properly, but not a $50 cut of meat. They were not willing to substitute veggies for a salad, which i found unusual, even when I offered to pay for the upgrade. The inside of the restaurant is dated. Drinks were good, live music was also really good. Just fell short of expectations overall. Likely wont return or recommend.

I had the chicken, which was cooked well and the potato was good, but i don t get what all the hype was about. Also had the trio dip, which in all honesty could ve been out of a jar and the friend tortilla chips were so greasy. The prices were insanely high. The atmosphere looked okay. Nothing extravagant Definitely not set to match their pricing. Most place at the start ask about your water flat or sparkling. Usually flat water is free.

No pepper mill on the table and I was shocked to see I had to pay $8 for a bottle of water. If you re going to gouge me when I ask for water and lemon, let me know before just adding it to the bill. Definitely won t be back as there was simply no value for the money. The culinary experience was very disappointing. Parking: Lots of parking
