We went to Smokehouse BBQ last night for their wing night special of $1 per wing. The wings are a great size and I ordered them tossed in Buffalo sauce. Came with carrots, celery, and ranch dressing to dip. My friend ordered a side of French fries and I tried some. The French fries were nicely cooked crisp and were tossed in a nice seasoning. The sell beer in the can and have a several different beer available. It's a small restaurant with about 8 tables or so. It's newly renovated and looks nice inside. Bathrooms are also clean. The service is great and the staff are friendly. I would come back again for their wing special and I'm also curious to try some of their other food.
We ended up here by pure chance. And oh my goodness did it exceed our expectations. The food was delicious and the atmosphere wonderful. Pricing was perfect and we were treated like friends rather than customers. I would recommend this place to anyone. And we will be back!
Pat and I first went to the Crazy Canuck Smokehouse to check out their offering for the United Way Burger Wars. We had a look at the menu and decided a return trip was definitely required. We went in deliberately to order the Canuck Feast. We don't eat left overs, they planned overs. We really enjoyed the feast, coleslaw, baked beans, mac & cheese. Smoked meats, ribs, chicken, pulled pork, they were out of brisket, so they doubled up on the pulled pork. 2 evening's before we were in the Caroline's enjoying BBQ where it started. It was a tough act to follow. We finished off the chicken the next day. Froze enough for 3 more meals. To be fair, we are seniors not into eating massive meals. We can stretch and savor multiple times with a few ad ins. We will be back.
I love this place I go here on a regular and I always get the fries they are crispy and always fresh they welcome me every time I go in there even when they are busy. Next the service fries are always out quickly on busy days or not, the staff here are always kind and always wishing everybody the best I go here everyday for school. The fries here cost 5.65 and it's a good portion. The atmosphere here is also very nice offering public restrooms (which are well kept all of the time) the tvs are on with sports. I would recommend this place for a quick bite if that's the burger to the ribs they are delicious and cheap. LOVE THIS PLACE!!
My wife and I shared a wonderful "1/2 chicken and 4 rib" daily special for $19.99. We also shared a Caesar salad and with a beer, soda and 15% tip, it came to only $38. Service was friendly and the decor was excellent. We'll certainly go back. Excellent value for the money!
The service was very quick and the food was out of this world bbq. Everything warm and fries very crispy just like we ordered. The brisket sandwich was only second to what I experienced in Texas. DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant.
There are only a couple of authentic BBQ houses in the Brantford area. This is one of them. We ordered a spread of items off the menu to get a well rounded idea of what the overall flavor and quality of this place would be. So lets get into it. The chicken wings were amazing, very flavorful, super crispy but not over cooked so they were nice and juicy . The size of the wings were mid size. The Mac and cheese was good, had a unique but delicious garlic spice mix. The pulled pork was some of the best Iv had, very tender, pretty much melted in my mouth. The sauce was sweet and zesty and I honestly wish I ordered a bigger potion. It was that good. The brisket chili was pretty good, maybe a bit lack luster for me, kinda small on the portion size and a bit to watery but still very Harty and flavorful. It was still a great bowl of chili. The beans were good and had their own unique twist that punched up the flavor profile. The corn bread was second to none, warm, light, fluffy, corn bready goodness. We will be back to try the ribs next time I'm craving BBQ. This place is definitely worth checking out and is on my hit list. 👌 Me and my wife were really satisfied with the quality, flavor, fresh ingredients and the staffs friendly service. The price vs portion category is tricky here because the price is good for the portion you get however if you have a big appetite you'll have to be sure to upsize your order. I thought what I ordered would be enough to fill me up and I didn't want to add on to my order half way through eating so l left still a bit hungry. Everything else hit the mark. I will definitely be back as a return customer.
We took advantage of the special and tried the Honey Garlic and Cajun wings. Each order had seven large wings. We especially liked how they prepared the drums. Both were delicious. The fries were great and fresh too. We had five wings leftover and enough fries to make a second meal out of it. We look forward to trying the other items on the menu. Returned on Saturday, June 8, 2024, for burgers and fries. Best fries anywhere! The burger was awesome too!
Like BBQ? This is the place to go!!!
Grabbed some ribs at Crazy Canuck Smokehouse in Holmedale at 124 Morrell St. in Brantford. The neighbourhood (and all down Dufferin Ave) is participating in the Home Hardware giant inflatable Santa Challenge and there are sooooo many giant Santa s on lawns - it was cool. As for the ribs? If you know, you know. The best in town! Five stars. Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating! Parking: Right out front. Kid-friendliness: Warm atmosphere in a family-friendly neighbourhood. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.
Great food, reasonably priced, friendly staff. Will be visiting again!
Excellent bbq and service.
Im yet to be disappointed
Fantastic meal at Shackbar! Portions were super generous and the food was PIPING hot. Nice people, and very yummy food! We will definitely be back.
Good food, quick service and food was done in a decent time.
All I can say is holy smoke the wings are Fantastic wow true smokehouse delicious cant wait to try their ribs
Great owner, great food, great prices, definitely going back again to try the brisket.
Went for the Brant Burger Wars, loved the food, atmosphere and Playlist.
I had the brisket and potato salad. It was amazing.
Good food. Reasonable price. Relaxed surroundings.
Never disappointed even though they forgot my gravy. But they corrected quickly. Highly recommended!
Please be non judgmental and polite in talking to your customers.
We had a bad experience today. First we called to place an order of 5 meals and the woman that I was talking to said half way through me placing the order we are very busy, keep going - rushing me, which made me not want to continue placing the order. The order was place at 5:05 and we were told it would be ready in 25-30 minutes. We went to pick it up and were greeted rudely by the waitress. And then the food wasn t ready until 6pm. Brought the food home and below are the issues with the food in addition to the bad customer service: -1 order of fries was forgotten -There was mold on one of our cornbreads -the chicken was very dry and had next to no flavor -wings were over cooked and dry Overall we were very disappointed with the meal and service
This was my go to place for food been ordering on and off for months never had problem really except once where they had to redeliver did but I still orders after that. Went to place order today through Uber eats . Waited over hour and said food was being made then showed cancelled so called and lady was not polite at all wouldnt let me speak or anything said complained to much so they had barred me from Uber eats or anything cant get food from them have good day will never be back again as I said was go to place never really had bad experience except one time and still ordered after that then they treat me like that so my review has changed from almost 5 star down to 2
Amazing food and great pricing. Highly recommend. We get something new each time we go and are never disappointed!
Wonderful place, interior craftmenship looks great, food is superb, the lovely ladies are also just soo lovely. Thank you Crazy Canucks for the burg n fries
Delicious food! We use them as a caterer for our fundraiser event and the food is top notch. Best BBQ in Brantford and to be able to pump out over 300 meals without effecting the quality of the food deserves recognition. Thank you.
Some of the best barbecue Ive ever had. Comes with good smoke, flavor, and amazing service. Cant wait to eat here again! Parking: Limited amount of spots.
Awesome food. Great staff. Very happy every time Ive ordered.
Great food. Cold beer. Great service.
Just picked up Ribs and pulled pork sandwich. Absolutely amazing flavor truly fall of the bone ribs. Pulled pork sandwich was moist and flavorfull. Absolutely will return to this place for incredible BBQ. So if you like a little smoke on your ribs and dont mind tender, flavorful, finger licking good BBQ give them.a call.
Fantastic food and great people.
Amazing lady looked after on Friday she was super friendly and checked in with us often.. food was good I had the chicken and ribs.. I was however disappointed in the size of the ribs the bones were maybe 1.5 inches long at max and not much meat on them :(
Food is superb. Staff are very friendly
If your looking for sticky, melt in your mouth absolutely delicious food , this is the spot to be!!! Heather is a great hostess and cook!! Food
I must say, genuinely stunned. Did a order for pickup and they had it ready within 40 Minutes. Did the meat platter with macaroni coleslaw and the beans. We were all super impressed. Ontop of that the best ribs that just fall off and the SMOKE RING!! Absolutely incredible experience. The staff were great and polite and gave us extra on our meat. Thank you so much! We will be ordering again. Suggest to anybody in the area. Or further!
Old lady at the front lacks seriously in her customer service skills. You should be happy youre busy. I hope youre not the owner that would be quite disrespectful to your business. Small town do better.
Cute little restaurant but very tiny. The food was very good except they have no coffee. They Awards up for their BBQ but I had Mac&Cheese and my son had a Burger. Would definitely go back again. 3.5
Another place to avoid in Brantford! High prices garbage food go elsewhere people!!
Food is always good and Cassie a great server. Need to invest in a bigger fridge so they dont keep running out of beer choices!
Wow this place is heaven for BBQ lovers! My husband and I got the meat platter and wings, and without a doubt one of the best bbq s we have had. The place is really nice with a great atmosphere and decor. Heather the owner is also the Pit Master and she is amazing at what she does!
Great service and food! Will definitely be back!

Great food great service great times
Nice cozy dining room, food was amazing. We had the Carolina pulled pork sandwich and it was delicious. Definitely recommend this restaurant!
Amazing service and great food
We got our Christmas turkey from here and it was so good. It was cooked perfectly. The ladies working there were really nice too.
very good food for a good price!! definitely will be returning
For the price you pay eating here I expect the quality to not be moor poor then a McDonalds. Cheap buns, fatty roast beef and the Mac and cheese is tasteless except for the over peppering. Out of a rib shop that is known to do richest I would expect the quality to be the exact same as there mobile truck. Im very unimpressed with there brisket as well for $20 dollars I would expect the burger to be actual smoked brisket not an oven cooked roast. With a bun the same quality as McDonalds and as small. I threw the brisket out after 5 bites due to horrible quality, every bite has big chunks of fat in it. Just not worth the money. I would not order from the store again Id order off the mobile truck only in the summer they dont take the same pride in there store as they do for a competition.
Ordered the Hamburger & Fries special, and it was excellent. Hamburg meat was fresh, not frozen, fries were also not frozen, but freshly cut. The inside has been redone, and it looks great. Nice to have a place in Homedale that serves great BBQ
Did not enjoy at all. Way too much money for poor quality.
The wings are amazing.
Both the ribs and chicken are good here. Reasonably priced as well. Give it a try!
Great food and service, small and cozy place. Cant wait to come back when they fully open and expand their menu.
Mmmm, great. Amazing food. Fantastic service and great prices. We just had chicken this time and it was spectacular. The corn bread is incredible. Will be back again to try more delicious items from the menu.
Ordered the smoked chicken (Full Bird). Mac and cheese and fries through skip the dishes sad to say one of the worst smoked chickens I have ever had. I understand that they were swamped. However what we got was unacceptable. Number one there was still feathers in chicken. Number 2 there was no smoke flavour to the chicken. Number 3 the chicken was a saucy chewy mess, the skin was rubber. Number 4 the mac and cheese had no flavor. This is really disappointing as we have had their food before and it was delicious.
Love this place so much. Friendly people and good are what make this place truly amazing
Excellent food. Will be back again.
I WILL BE BACK! First time there on wing night. Exceptionally meaty wings! Sauce was evenly applied to each wing making every bite perfect. Problem is, I live close so it might become a habit. Parking: Park right in front.
I really enjoyed the wings and my wife loved the pulled pork poutine.
We had a great lunch. It was really good. Friendly service. So many options that we will need to come back again. This was a great place to stop for lunch while exploring the T.H. &B. Rail Trail by bike!
Good variety of options to choose from. Went in for a in between meal snack while riding our bikes. Kids enjoyed their meats and sides. Beer was cold, and so was one of my chicken wing. Oddly enough it was scorching on the outside, but ice cold at the bone.
I think this quest for lean is really ruining the restaurant business. Ribs should be fatty so that they can be cooked a long time and render and then be so tender that they just fall off the bone when you touch them. Great sauce but ribs should melt in your mouth not be a chewing exercise...
We seem to have an addiction to this place. The food is some of the best we ve had and with daily specials we are quickly making our way through the menu.
Great wings, great ribs, great food, and the service is always friendly and professional. If your looking for great food then this is the place. Highly recommend it....
The smoked brisket sandwich is one of the best food Ive ever had anywhere in the world
Ordered delivery, took a bit longer than expected for delivery but other than that it was fantastic! Got the Mac and cheese for toddler and got ourselves bacon cheeseburgers. The meat was delicious, Mac and cheese was so fricking good! We got some fries with our burgers they put salt and vinegar on them best restaurant fries I ve ever had! 10/10 recommend!!!!
Everything was delicious, we got the family platter and the brisket was amazing , highly rated the restaurant
I got the pulled pork sandwich, burger and chilli brisket fries. Most things were so good (especially the onion rings) except the chilli brisket fries were terrible and the mac n cheese had no cheese. The chilli brisket fries were kinda watery and the flavour it had was really weird. I can t in good conscience recommend this place if the food is going to be so hit or miss. Quite disappointing that we all had to share with the person who ordered the poutine.
Best bbq place around
Best Ribs I have had in a very long time. I do not eat a lot of ribs but my taste buds do not lie. Try it, you will love it!
just go here and enjoy great food..great dining setting for a small get together. literally feels like moms cooking! love this place.
Best BBQ in the county.
Had the ribs and sausage. Delicious food in a great atmosphere. I was fortunate to have a great conversation with the owner!! Great job! Dont forget to keep an eye on the brisket and find a way to fly solo. God bless you!! Food
The best food in town !!! I will definitely be coming back!
This is my third time giving this place a chance. The food is great. The customer service is terrible. Every single time Im greeted by the same older woman who makes myself and my company feel like we are a bother. The atmosphere is negative and the negative energy is overwhelming. I work hard and I live in the area, I have tried on 3 separate occasions to give them the benefit of the doubt but as a business owner myself I cannot believe the way customers are treated. A restaurant should be warm and welcoming - I am not going to give my business to someone who makes us feel uncomfortable when dining in.
Small intimate atmosphere, great ribs and burgers. You need to go here!
What a great little gem of a restaurant! Food was delicious, service was friendly and the atmosphere was great. The flavor of the burger was excellent, toppings were fresh and the fries and onion rings were delicious. It was our first time here, but definitely wont be our last.
Foods really good and I think the value for what your getting is also great. My only suggestion is to make sure on take out that your order has all the components in the bag. I have had 2 missed items on one occasion and a single item missing from a previous order. Ill be giving the place more business as I think it was honest misshaps. Im sure Id have been able to drive back to get a correction but I didnt because the gas and time to return wouldnt have been worth it
Cool spot! Great staff! Brisket sandwich is amazing!! The Cajun wings are really good. We highly recommend!!
Every time i order the Family feast,it never disappoints.Tonight was YUMMY!!5 of us are soooo full,hours later.The ribs and those wings..AHHHH:)
The brisket is not actually brisket. Its roast cooked in the oven. Not in a smoker. Does not taste good. BBQ sauce was good though.
Corn bread could be bigger for the size. Should be half the price or twice as big.
We ordered through uber and go figure, more people showed up to our house! No problem for this business, I called in and added to the order no fuss at all they were happy to help. Food came all together and was AMAZING everyone around the table was raving about how great it was and how we would all be ordering again. A few small things were missing from the order, no problem again they quickly ran it out to us even though they were so insanely busy. And all with a smile, fantastic customer service, and the best food. Im picky about smoked foods and this was the perfect place. Fall apart greatness, amazing sauce flavour, and their sides were equally as amazing! I wont stop sharing how great this food was.
The ribs are 10 out of 10
OMG so tasty! Im a BBQ gal at heart and this fit the bill. Friendly service
Ribs were very very dry as if they stayed out all day. Macaroni had no flavour and was very mushy, coleslaw was disgustingly over sauces. The only thing that was decent was the celery. Even the fries were old. Crazy Canuck Smokers step up your game the food was trash
Not trying to be cruel, but I do not recommend. While the corn muffin was fantastic - not sure its worth $3. The coleslaw is teeny $3, not worth it in my opinion. The brisket was awful. Tasted reheated from a week ago, so dry and tough. Hard to eat. We ordered about $50 worth with the brisket sandwich, half pound brisket, muffin, coleslaw, brisket chili. Morrell st Brantford. Rather go to Camp 31, very tender brisket
Chicken was very dry couldnt choke it down,beef ribs still had the silverskin attached and were flavorless and grisly will not order again,very expensive for the quality
Ordered on Uber eats, order originally showed up missing many items but another nice lady from the restaurant delivered it afterwards and apologized. I will be ordering more in the future for sure, food is always great!
I love this place! Great food, great service AND steps away from my front door!!
Amazing food , great location and the staff is super friendly ! Ive never had a bad experience once !!!
Delicious pork and beef ribs. Ive tried them twice now and would definitely recommend them. The pork ribs are the best in town in my opinion. Fall off the bone and perfect sauce. Great neighborhood joint.
Disappointing overall. Ordered chicken, pulled pork and ribs (and fries) for dinner one night. The chicken was simultaneously moist and so drying in my mouth. The ribs were hit and miss on properly or overcooked. Pulled pork had a funky flavour. Fries were decent. Im bummed because I want to support this small local shop but the 4 adults eating agreed, we wont be ordering again.
Got the Bacon Cheeseburger, best burger of my life. BBQ wings were good.
My new go to spot for BBQ. Loved everything I have tried to so far. The owner is super nice.
Loved this place. Great value, the portions were really good for the price. The brisket was a clear favorite of the group with rave reviews and the ribs a close second after trying the family platter which also had pulled pork and BBQ chicken. We sampled a number of sides . The cornbread muffins are fantastic and the Mac and cheese was a crowd pleaser as well. The owner was really nice. We will definitely make the trip out again. Its definitely worth the drive. I dont think the table had a single complaint. Vegetarian options: There are a good number of sides that are satisfying on thier own, not just an afterthought to accompany the meat. All were really flavourful and thoroughly enjoyable.
If youre looking for a homey business where the staff actually care, try the excellent food at Crazy Canuck in Brantford. They are doing take-away only at the moment. When you stop in, the lady at the front counter is happy to chat, and youll hear the kitchen staff laughing and having a good time. Food always tastes better when the chef is happy! The fries are the best Ive had in years - old fashioned home-made flavourful fries, not those bland white mass produced things. The pulled pork was moist and delicious. There is a daily special which is vary affordable.
I just sat in line at a drive-thru ribfest for 20 minutes only to get to the front and they tell me theyre out of beef ribs. Meanwhile representatives from Crazy Canuck are scattered about the area and could have come to tell me that before I wasted my time.
