TheSmoke in Collingwood

Didn t even hardly get a chance to sit, they wanted to charge us a 20% gratuity for having another family (who we were friends with but clearly sitting at separate tables with our families). The restaurant was trying to claim we were together as a big group. After they intentionally tried to place our friends in the empty restaurant across the room instead of just simply placing them to the table next to us, we asked if they could be seated closer and the owners refused. So we collectively got up and decided to leave and all of a sudden no no we will accommodate . All we wanted was to enjoy our meals as famlies but also chat amongst ourselves with the other family. Instead greed for a 20% gratuity for a group ultimately quickly became a source of zero income because we didn t stay and went to a restaurant down the road. Poor combination of management/ waitress decision, and completely uncalled for behaviour. It was 2pm, your restaurant was almost completely empty, easily could have been avoided and accommodated. The situation that quickly became back peddling was evident that it wasn t the best decision for your restaurant. Thanks for poor poor business TheSmoke!

Owner is very rude along with host . I do not recommend eating at this restaurant .Over priced cold meat . There are many other better places better to eat in Collingwood.

Over 10 years of amazing service and food, keep it up and happy anniversary to you all at The Smoke

The food was good and well priced. However, coffee was charged by the cup. Frankly, paying $8 for two cups was ridiculous. An annoying detail perhaps but it left a bad taste.

Great burger and brisket poutine

Not sure why they have disco lights on all the time. Ordered take-out and the cashier who took my order was a little slow and had to get someone to help her figure out how to place my order. Food was good but very soggy. By the time I got home (not even 10 minutes) the burger bun was wet. Overall it tasted good and the fries were great.

Great food, quick service, welcoming & smiling staffs! A must try restaurant!

Incredible for celiacs. Not 100% gluten free I think only one thing on the menu has gluten but they are extremely knowledgeable and I felt extremely safe

Amazing food and service Tori was very nice

One of the best burgers Ive had in a long time!! Dietary restrictions: My friend has celiac disease and had a lot of options, they clearly care about cross contamination, etc. Food : 5/5 |

I m an 8 year old girl that LOVES the chicken wings with BBQ sauce and I also liked everything else that I tried. Also my mom and dad got to know that my sister likes chicken wings and that is why this restaurant deserves a 5 star review! Kid-friendliness: The kid-friendliness is so good the drawing pages were a really a really good thing to pass away the time for when the food arrives.goodbye!!!

I was recommended to try it and it did not disappoint! The pulled pork nachos were so amazing and the French fries were perfect! I will be going back to try more of the menu, it all sounded so delicious!

We went once before and thought the meat was a little dry. That was a few years ago Im glad we decided to come back. We had the sampler which was ribs, brisket and wings. The wings were so flavorful and the brisket is about as good as Ive ever had. Fries were delicious - fresh and none of that coating you see on fries these days. Service was fast and friendly. Cant wait to go back again when Im in town!

You cannot go to Collingwood without trying The Smoke! The beef brisket sandwich is absolutely UNREAL. Would definitely eat here again.

Great restaurant. The gravy is really good!

Great food easy going atmosphere great service. Its just a great place.

Frankly, the price of the meal did not hold up to the hype... Kind of disappointed, probably won t be back.

came here with my family, i would not recommend as a family restaurant its quite pricey and the kids menu is very limited. really enjoyed the food we had though would come back without the kids. Food

Honestly super disappointing. My partner and I were excited to try this spot out as we were visiting Collingwood for the day. We came by for late lunch around 3:30pm. Once seated it took 10+ min for a server to come by even though the place was not busy. After taking our order, the food took about 35-40 min to arrive. We ordered the three dish sampler (beef burger, 1/2 ribs with smoking hot sauce, beef brisket and fries, Caesar salad and sausage bean soup as our sides). Let me start by saying the best part of our meal was the fries. Everything else was underwhelming. The meats were VERY dry (we didnt even bother finishing the ribs and brisket). The smoking hot sauce was not flavourful at all and the burger was served at room temperature. Wanted to love this place after reading the positive reviews and maybe they were just having a rough day today but unfortunately we will not be back.

Food was meh, lukewarm, dry and took an hour to get to the table. Pork ends appetizer super chewy and tiny, definitely not worth $20. Still not convinced the hamburger I ordered was real meat to be honest. A really disappointing experience for the whole family.

My son has celiac and I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing an opportunity to dine out on incredible food and be safe. The food was amazing, fall off the bone good I highly recommend anyone who loves real BBQ to give this establishment a try! Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly

Honest Review: Once seated, 10 mins for server to appear, although only a few customers. Wait time for food after ordering, 40+ mins. Burger patty was uniquely flavoured and tasty (I can see why its their specialty) but was room temperature when received. Half rack of ribs was pretty meager meat-wise and underwhelming flavour-wise. Fries were perfection. Service was polite but effort offered was the bare minimum. Definitely some great elements but not worth the wait or the price.

We visited at around 2pm on a Tuesday the place was slower, but the staff were completely on their game. Getting a seat, drink orders and being served we prompt. We have celiacs, so gluten is a no-no. We tried the fries, wings, brisket and ribs in a platter and they were all amazing. Its been hours since we visited and if there were any reactions to gluten it would have happened by now. So this place is a must go to if you have issues, we will for sure be back.

The brisket was quite good. Somewhat most good flavour. The price didnt seem to match the portion size.... The ribs were ok. Nothing special for sure. Also charging 2$ for a bun and extra for BBQ sauce is outrageous. The kids menu featured smoked burgers that the kids didnt like... 7$ upcharge the poutine raised my expectations. The gravy seemed to be a chicken or package based gravy? We wouldnt go back. Ive got no problem paying for good food... But the price for good food didnt match the meh food.

Had two of the Holy cow Brisket burgers and they were excellent. Best Brisket I have had in a while, great house made fries too. Tori our server was great. Would reccomend to anyone.

If there is one place to enjoy for lunch or dinner in Collingwood, The Smoke is the place. Great food, reasonably price for the area, you will not be disappointed. The Owner is quite welcoming and humble. Will definitely make this a frequent stop while visiting Collingwood.

This place was DELICIOUS! We got the pulled pork poutine, brisket poutine, pulled pork sandwich and the Saturday special; the French onion brisket sandwich. The gravy was so good, the meat was so tender and flavourful. Our waitress was Nicole and she was attentive and so kind! Atmosphere was great and the retreat smelt amazing. Highly recommend!

Good food, good people

Third time coming here after a long day at the Blue and had the same ick. Pros: the atmosphere of the place was very typical and nothing stood out, ribs were flavourful and wings Cons: the ribs were very small, the brisket was hard as a rock and cut along the grain and so costly I think I ve given this place enough chances and time to move on.

Had the 3 meat sampler. Brisket was smokey and moist, ribs had a bit of sweet heat and wings were golden crispy (hot sauce on the side). Some people may like fall of the bone ribs but these had a bit of chew - the way it should be especially when smoked!

I have smoked meat for years and never have I eaten smoked meat as amazing as the food in this restaurant !!!!!!!!

The food was excellent and the waitress was great this visit could have gone better. First the good: the pulled pork grilled cheese was full of flavor and they did not skimp on either the cheese or the pork. I opted for coleslow as my accompanying side which was both well portioned and tasty. I also had the opportunity to try the ribs (excellent) and fries (slightly over salted, but otherwise good). Now the not so good: the hostesss would benefit from additional training. Upon entiring she was panicking that there was only 1 server working and the wait could be 15-20 minutes. She was hinting we should go elsewhere. I thought this was extremely bizarre. She seated us in front of the open kitchen, which i was under the impression is where we would be seated for our meal, but was only temporary. HOT TIP: why not communicate this better (that an additional server was working, but was on break) and the seating was temporary. I do give the hostesss credit for getting my kids coloring sheets during the wait. Also why does this place close at 7 in Wednesdays and Thursdays during in July? Ridiculous Kid-friendliness: Had a kids menu and decent options with good sized portions.

The brisket sandwich was outstanding. Next time I am in the area, I need to try the ribs.

We visited this location while on vacation because of the great reviews. We were not disappointed. We had the Sampler dinner and choose the brisket, wings and ribs with the original BBQ sauce and it was more then enough for 2 adults. On the way out we ran into the owner (very friendly) and he asked us how things were...EXCELLENT! We will be back to dine and will highly recommend this restaurant to our friends. Kelly and Dan from Thamesford ON

We were on vacation and looked like a great spot. The food was great, April was happy and helpful. Would recommend to anyone.

DONT WEAR A WHITE SHIRT!!!! Finger licken fantastic food. Tables are a little close so dont expect a romantic date but the awesome atmosphere and great service makes up for it. Will be back if were in town again! Kid-friendliness: Awesome

My family and I had an excellent experience at this restaurant, along side the excellent food is the service, our server April made us feel right at home, I highly recommend this restaurant, the food and service is outstanding, kudos to all of the staff !!!!!!!

Really disappointing! We don t eat out often, because of budgets, and this place had been recommended while we were visiting Collingwood. We both had the smoked burger, which was bland and tasteless, with an unexpected pasty texture. The coleslaw was also similarly without much to recommend it. Fries were good. Service was very efficient , prompt and professional. Overall, not worth the money and not recommended.

Amazing food and service!

Looked it up for reviews on Google, reviews were good, I had the Saturday special French onion brisket, it looked good, however it was over SALTY, Im not sure if its a process in smoking meats..but it was too salty. My wife had the brisket spud, and the meat was salty, the potato masked allot of the salt which did help, the flavors are good simply over powered. Nice inside the restaurant, very good staff, if your having a few beers , its a great place.

10/10 would go back and try some more stuff! All our meals were amazing and we completely devoured them... We love the pulled pork and French onion brisket. All the sides were great except for the soup of the day we werent too but it was still great! Also loved the ceaser and the desserts. (Smoked banana and the apple crisp )

Great bbq, staff are nice, everything is great at this place, 10/10

Nice burgers

Amazing food, cool people and our server Tori was amazing she was attentive and very smiley and very friendly. Food was the best bbq I have ever had and would definitely drive an 1.5 hour to come. Highly recommended

Amazing brisket and pulled pork!!

Good wasnt bad... but not worth the price! I asked to have something off my order as it was not what I asked for on the phone and the owner argued it with me. Crazy... the best part was on a 80$ order lost of meets and sides they give me one spoon to worth it!!!!

Very mids. Food is much like if you went to your uncles and he burnt everything. Ribs are overcooked,undersauced and definitely made in advance. Burger patty was extrenely dry.Fries are loaded with oil, Mac and cheese has no Mac. Food is horrendously overpriced. Food

Had the Beef Brisket with a side of sweet potato fries. They were excellent. Fries were a bit crispy for my taste. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly and fast service, easy parking. Parking: About 12 spots behind/beside restaurant.

Id like to start by saying and giving kudos to this restaurant for their Gluten-free and celiac statement make on their menu. It really does give you the reassurance to safely eat here. My husband and I have eaten her a few times in the past, so it was a no brainer to recommend to our large group from out of town to dine here. We arrived around 4pm, nice and early and had the entire inside dining space to ourselves (only a few people on the patio). We had to wait about 5mins to be seated as the hostess needed to ensure they could arrange tables for us.. in an empty restaurant. Okay, no problem! It was made clear 20% gratuity would be added because of our group size.. still no issue. Our server was newish(she made a point to let us know) and she was great! Patient with the children in our party, and ensured everyone had what they needed at all times. It didnt take us long to decide what to order, once seated we firmed our orders within about 15mins. What came as a bit of a surprise was the turn around time, it look over an hour to get our plates out, and I found it a bit bazar that the childrens plates took even longer. All 8 adults had their meals for a good 10-15 additional minutes before childrens dishes started coming out. Our previous experience at The Smoke left us wanting more, delicious bbq that you cant really find in this area.. I would say we all left feeling less than satisfied. The pork belly was shockingly dry, and tough to cut through. The ribs, also dry and flaky, not moist and tender like we had hoped. We were quite disappointed in the quality that came out of the kitchen. I hate to say it, but the cost did not reflect the quality we received during this dining experience. Approx $200-$250 per family spent, and Im not sure if wed be interested in returning.

Food was underwhelming and overpriced.

The fire has gone out at the Smoke! Once a top stop in the area, it has now become a lacklustre shack who relies on over charging the few who visit in a desperate attempt to keep the doors open! Even after having us wait for more than an hour for our order, almost half the meals did not adhere to the specifics asked for, and the food arrived cold to the point of having to send it back to be microwaved! The true let down was that the quality of the food was a mere remnant of what it once was. The wings were underdone, the pulled pork cold, and even the smoked beans were a soupy mess with only about 50 beans submerged in the entire cup of sauce! Topping the whole experience off, they not only refused to honour their own happy-hour prices offered to us in the menu insert provided, they also went ahead and forced a 20% gratuity onto EACH of the three bills at our table! Is there any wonder why there was only a half-dozen tables occupied on a sunny, Friday night in our beautiful area that is rife with tourists and visitors alike. They may have gotten an extra 20%, on these bills, but they lost 6 more customers in the process!

Amazing food. Just dont order takeout as you get less than half the meat

We were in town and looking for a well-rated restaurant that could accommodate dietary restrictions and found The Smoke (and ended up coming back three times in the same weekend!) Food was delicious and the portions were large, but the highlight of our visits was how well we were treated by our servers, especially with matters related to allergies and food restrictions. They were also able to accommodate us even when we came in for a later dinner and were very pleasant to be around overall - thank you very much! You made our Blue Mountain trip a delight and made it easy for us to eat great food while making sure allergies were being considered (-: Dietary restrictions: Great place to get dinner if you have company with dietary restrictions - menu is almost entirely gluten-free and they can accommodate any other allergies/restrictions needed!

Was looking for a place to eat that was accessible for a friend with multiple food sensitivities during yeticon and ended up at thesmoke and was not disappointed!!! We came here all three days of being here for dinner and they were So sweet and welcoming and attentive to the food sensitivities!! My friend felt safe eating without fear of suffering after and the food was incredible!! The meat was soft and flavourful and delicious every single bite!!! I cant recommend it enough! I brought a group of 10 friends the second day and everyone was so full and happy after their meals, it was amazing!! Huge shoutout to our amazing servers and the truly incredible chefs and owner for making such a wonderful and accessible food space for so many people!!!

Absolutely amazing experience. Delicious beef brisket, and the food portions were good too! Thw waitress was kind and wonderful. I really loved dining here and i cant wait to visit again! Dietary restrictions: Accommodating to nut allergies. Good place to dine if you have gluten intolerance as well.

The food is 5 star Smoked BBQ. Not too smoky though my wife that is not particularly find of smoke loved it. The staff is great, with suggestions and recommendations. We had the Chefs Tasting Platter with Ribs, Brisket, Wings, Bacon, Pulled Pork, awesome fries and sweet potato fries. A large meal for two with some take home leftover. Fantastic food.

This is possibly the best eaterie in Collingwood. Get the brisket platter, sweet potato fries, corn bread, and GF brownies with ice cream. Youll be glad you did. Its just delicious. The service is also awesome. And that makes a place really special.

Went here for the first tune for our anniversary. Mya our server was amazing and on point. Was not rushed and welcomed with amazing service and food. Will be returning.

Dont believe the hype. Maybe it was because we were there at the end of the day, but our food didnt look like the pictures of the reviews at all. Portions were outstandingly small. Even the burguer patty was miniscule. Flavours were there, but just not enough to overcome the small servings.

OMG the food is sooooo gooooood! The Brisket is fantastic and the Brisket Nachos are killer! Wings are probably the best wings I have ever had! We have tried a lot of the menu and are never disappointed. Also, the banana ice cream :drool: I can t say good enough things about the food. The service is great! Very attentive and Cam is very polite and helpful and makes sure everything goes out correctly. We have been going to The Smoke for years and will continue to go for years!

Excellent

A group of us ended up here because the other resto said it would be at least 45 mins before we could get seating. This was literally across the street. The atmosphere doesnt come off like it would be a hardcore smoke house, not that thats a bad thing, but its still very nice inside and very welcoming. Our server, Im going to lean towards, didnt like us very much. She took a while to come take our drink order. She actually took drink and food orders from a table that came close to ten minutes after us. When everything was ordered and served, she came by literally 15 seconds after dropping off the dishes asking how everything was and then that was it. She didnt come by again until we were ready to go. The food was delish. Everything was cooked very well and everything had a lot of flavour. Recommended if youre seeking a good BBQ taste.

every time I visit Collingwood I stop into The Smoke for a meal. I love their baby back ribs. So good. And great baked beans also. Keep up the great work on the bbq.

Delicious! Highly recommend the wings!!!!! Got the pulled pork plate as well, which was amazing.

The food was very tasty although a bit expensive. I guess you have pay for that real slow-cooked smoky flavour. The soup of the day was tomato and it was most excellent - I just wish the serving size were a bit bigger. Still, wed go back again!

Great place! Got the simple plater it was absolutely delicious, the burger was the best I ever had! Our server was Nicole and she was absolutely amazing had to wait 15mins for a table but was so worth it definitely will be coming again

Great spot for some BBQ! Quiet and cozy

I loved the pulled pork. Husband and the brisket and loved it as well. Best smoked banana ice cream too.

Food was good overall. The burgers were not dry and everything tasted moist and juicy. Biggest fear is eating a dry pork burger. The French onion brisket feature was good and loaded with onions and cheese. The portion was perfect and not too much and perfect for me and to share with others. The slice, BTW I didnt expect the brisket on a slice of bread, thought it would be a burger, it was on the slightly salty side but at times couldnt taste it. The soup side was not salty at all and very delicious. The pulled pork burger was juicy and dripping with sauce. Slightly salty, perfect portion. The service was good, waitress very attentive, washrooms were clean and lots of room to eat. The one thing I noticed no greens. Overall pretty good. I would try different things next time though. Definitely be back for more smoked meat.

Excellent food and great service. Highly recommend!

Mmmm smoky goodness. Dinner hours are a bit early, but still great for a late lunch. Always a good meal.

Best baked beans! And the brisket is fabulous, melt in your mouth. Yummy!!

Fantastic food! We will for sure be coming back for more

Excellent place

Great staff and food was exceptional

I love this place. We ordered the platter for 6 and cleaned it right up. The huge mountain of meat was insanely good. Fries were amazing too. Cheers to the chef

Really excellent place. Shared the sampler and it was more than enough for the two of us. The brisket was absolutely standout but the ribs and pulled pork were also delicious. Attentive and friendly service. Food

I was there for lunch in the New Year holidays. Pros: Burger quality and taste The onion soup was great ( my first time having real onion soup in Ontario) Cons: Pricey. Burger had only lettuce, tomato and onion and for other things, you have to pay extra). The toilet was clean but kinda old school design)

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food

We ve been here in the past and last night was the best! I got the pulled pork which with the hot mustard sauce is AMAZING! We also got the special(Montreal smoked meat) which needs to be on the regular menu because it s the best sandwich we ve ever had, and I don t normally like Montreal smoked meat. Wish it was a bigger sandwich. But it still was the best. Our server was great too(tim I think was his name! Sorry!) The owner came around and spoke to each table and was very attentive which in all my 15 years living and dinning in collingwood I can t say happens ANYWHERE else. This is a great hands on touch. It s a very relaxed quite environment where the music isn t so loud you can t talk over it, there is just enough tables so that even when it got full that you didn t feel like everyone was on top of each other and no tv s in the lower dinning area making this a great environment if you are looking to have an amazing dinner and great conversation with friends and family. Will be back soon Ps- we missed the piece of corn bread you used to get with the entree. Would love to see that come back with dinner meals. It was delish!

Last visited this place 3-4 years ago - used to look forward to coming here. Quality AND portion size went way down. They used to have their homemade sauces on the table for use while you eat, now they barely give you a little bit of sauce when you ask for it. Server was unattentive and borderline rude. Hate to leave a one star review for a business that may have struggled during covid, but management needs to step up and pivot on a positive note, not take away from the customer experience while raising prices.

So overrated. Most stuff was bland. The pulled pork grilled cheese was amazing.

Saw the ads on the billboard to Blue Mountain, it was worth a try. Love the crispy self-chopped non-frozen French fries, the white potatoes provides special texture. Tried the sampler, Beef brisket is tender and juicy, my favorite; Beans are soft with good sauce; also love the Smoked banana crisp ice cream, give these items 5 out of 5. Chicken wings are good, crispy outside, appropriate balance of sweet and salty, but not as juicy as expected, would give 4. Ribs are full of smoked flavors, balanced taste, not bad, but my personal preference is fall-of-the bone ribs, would give 4/5.

Excellent food. Great staff.

I have tasted better ribs, brisket, mac n cheese at an even cheaper price before. Theres barely any meat on the ribs. The wings are good though. The kids didnt like the burgers. Parking: Parking is available

Love the food. First time was 3 years ago. Hopefully wont be that long again

Brisket and pulled pork were very dry and had hard pieces that didnt seem to be marinated. Ive never been to a smoke house that does not put any sort of sauce on their meat to make it have some sort of sweet moist flavour. The mac and cheese was some bland penne noodles thrown in a bowl with cheese sauce, not good or creamy whatsoever. In addition, $80 for sampler platter and an appetizer was way too high. Will not be returning here.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Sampler platter was great.

The food was ok, just a little heavy on the sugar for my liking. I was also left wanting more smokiness to the food. I tried the ribs without sauce, just the dry rub to compare and that itself was sweet. So it was clear that sugar is at the heart of the seasoning. I would like to see a dry roasted rib with a bit more saltiness and more of that delicious smoke flavor that we can smell upon entering. The brisket was delicious, no sweetness to that and the gravy with the fries was also good. Actually on a whim I tried the dry rub rib with a bit of that gravy on it and it brought back the smokiness that was missing. Overall the experience was ok, the person serving was a little overwhelmed with the amount of tables he was serving. But his attitude was friendly and welcoming. Overall I wish I could give half stars on here. This would definitely be 3.5 for me based on this visit.

They change you a 20% gratuity if you are a table for 6 or more I would not recommend this restaurant

Stopped in on my way back from a delivery in Collingwood. Had the Pull Pork Sandwich. It was amazing. It was tender and juicy and it didnt stand a chance. The only negative, onions in the beans, not a fan of onions, haha. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant was spotless. Definitely will be back!! Keep up the great work!!

Delicious meats, sides were awesome, too! Service was spectacular! We placed a takeout order and everything was perfect and so fast!We will definitely be back and would definitely have a dine-in experience the vibe was fantastic!

What a delicious meal. I highly recommend this place!

Food is really tasty, service is courteous, friendly and helpful. I had a grilled cheese with pulled pork and apple crumble with a home make smoked banana ice cream. Definitely I will go back any time soon

Went for lunch with the family, we started with a brisket poutine, very tasty, just a little salty, they use a kfc type gravy, my wife had the pulled pork grilled cheese, our 15 year old son had the brisket burger & I had the brisket sandwich, all three lacked the smokiness we were expecting, the brisket was a little dry, tasted more like a roast beef, fries were great, beans were good, but the coleslaw was funky, none of us could eat it, the staff was friendly, very courteous & professional, don t get me wrong, the food overall was ok, above average type pub fare, unfortunately I wouldn t come back, was a little disappointed, came here based on the You Gotta Eat Here show, I guess John Catucci doesn t know food as well as he thinks lol

Great food. The brisket was divine- my favourite out of all the meats!

Amazing food, great service. Very aware and attentive for guests with gluten intolerance and celiac.

Wow. That s some good meat. You can really taste the 15 hours of smoking. Can t wait to try other items off a very interesting menu.

Stopped by the The Smoke to grab some dry rub for my ribs. Met the owner Cam he was more than happy to get me a jar done up for me. Can t wait to fire up the smoker and try these ribs.

Had the brisket. No smoke flavour whatsoever. My wife wasn t crazy about her chicken sandwich. She said it was quite bland. The food that other people were eating looked good like the ribs and grilled cheese. No sauces on the table like it showed in a youtube review. A bit pricy but I guess everything is these days. May give them one more try when I m back in town but would likely go for the ribs and mac n cheese.

Having to pay a mandatory 20% gratuity on a party over six didn t sit well with our obvious,two families of four. Not only does mandatory 20% gratuitie take away the customers ability to voice their opinion on the service and Food rendered. But also gives them the highest of the three most common tipping choices at 20% We all see on a debit machine. As for the food, it s unfortunate we are unable to comment seeing as they had such great reviews on their food, we were quite disappointed that We didn t try anything on their menu. I give them two stars because they at least warned us of the mandatory 20% gratuity to us before putting in our order.

We got the platter which was amazing! Pulled pork burger fries Mac and cheese was also fantastic!! Great service as well!!

Went to Rock Dell the night before, world of a difference the following day. Food was good, service was fantastic! We were a group of 9 and they brought the food within 45 mins

I was in the area for the day and looking for something different for lunch; none of that chain junk. Right on the main drag but not so obvious. Going in, you get the hint of smoky BBQ. I was promptly greeted and shown to a table. Service was friendly and quick. Not a long wait for food; I decided to try the Sampler and chose the half rack, brisket and wings with fries and slaw. O.M.G. Half wrack was an okay size, almost had a jerk style to it; brisket was on the cold side but im easy to please and wings were awesome. Unlike most self-proclaimed BBQ places where everything tastes the same, each item had its own unique flavour profile, not too heavy on the smoke or sauce (good balance). Wings were not battered and super juicy. Like most reviews said, these guys serve a healthy portion. Not that I eat much to start, but the Sampler could feed two. Highly recommend.

really good food, reasonable prices for what you get

The food here is the BOMB!!! Next Level Flavours!!! Everything on there sampler s plate is stupid AWESOME!!! I for 1 love Smokehouse Restaurants and this place is on my Top 3 in Canada!!! Great Service as well and a special shout out to Amy and the Chef!!! Legendary Experience!!!

Sooooo good. The platter is amazing. Pork belly yupppp

Amazing food, the owner greeted us, entertaining our young kids on the way to the table, even packaged some of the spice rub for us to purchase. We hadnt been since the start of Covid, so glad they could weather the storm.

We absolutely loved our time at The Smoke tonight! Tori was an excellent server and very knowledgeable. The food was delicious and portions were big. Atmosphere was nice, restaurant was clean. Dietary restrictions: I eat gluten free and could eat everything except for a few things on the menu. It was thrilling to have so many options, feel safe, and not have any issues after eating. Parking: The parking is in behind the restaurant, with clear pathways to the front door. Kid-friendliness: There are great options on the kid s menu, and the restaurant is pretty casual so kids can comfortably dine in.

After morning on the hills was excited to find this place for lunch. Ribs were awesome, beef was good but the pulled pork was bland. Sides- Mac n cheese and beans were also disappointing.

Went here a few weeks ago and it was simple fantastic! Will be making the pilgrimage north many times to visit again, better BBQ than in Texas

Amazing smoked food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere. I would be more than happy to return again!

Absolutely fantastic, between the staff and the food, there was not one thing our party complained about, definitely recommend

Wow! This place was worth every penny. I have a lot of allergies and picky kids. We were all happy with our food. Our server was adorable in her pink and its a gatta eat here for sure taste was on point. We ordered a bunch of different things too. Definitely going back

Good sized portions

Food is really good

Really yummy BBQ, big portions. My mom and I ordered The Sampler (3 meats + 2 sides) for both of us (we are old). We got the brisket, ribs and wings, plus coleslaw and fries + sweet sauce on the side. It was all very good. Service was very attentive. I will for sure go again.

Felt it was a bit over priced for the portions. Food was ok but not really amazing.

Ive got to say we werent sure what the place was.. The signage threw us off, we thought it was a cannabis store. Werent we surprised. The food was absolutely amazing. Thanks to Amy & Tory they are very pleasant and informative, which made our dining experience even better. Omg the apple dessert and ice cream, out of this world. My only suggestion is to advertise e.g bbq restaurant to sign, perhaps longer hours on a Friday. Well be back!

I got the brisket sandwich with fries. The smoke on the brisket was perfect! Not overbearing like other smoke places. The taste was really good. I will say however the brisket was a tad on the dry side. The fries were fresh and had a nice seasoning on them. Nice industrial atmosphere and the owner was very pleasant. I would like to try some other options so I will return when back in town.

Discover a good restaurant.

Pretty pricey food was really good. I ordered a cesar salad for 9$, which was extremely small, like a sample size small.

Some of the best smoked meats Ive had in ages and top-notch servers who care.

The main BBQ rack and the burger patties were really good and flavourful, they came with choice of sides. Highly recommend it. Pulled pork was ok, order the brioche bun with it to mellow down the flavour. The potato soup was thick and rich, beans a bit sweet but nice, coleslaw was not bad and french fries are crispy, though they were slightly on the saltier side. Went there during the early afternoon to beat the crowd. The place was neat and clean, staffs were very nice, friendly, joyful and helpful. Great environment for family and friends, its kid friendly. Definitely worth a visit to try their awesome BBQ and burger.

It was an awesome place super nice staff and the food was awesome

Ive spent time in Montreal and have eaten most of the smoked meat sandwiches available. I cant believe how much better and fresher the quality of the smokes smoked meat sandwich is. Dressed perfectly, you get just the right amount of flavors. Great service as well! Only downside was not finding their smoked bacon butter tarts, but maybe thats a good thing for my waistline

Food was incredible & the staff were very friendly!

Brisket was a bit dry. I should have asked for fatty brisket but I wasn t given a choice. The pork ribs were a bit boney and dry. Certainly didn t fall off the bone. The pulled pork was probably the best, not counting the soup. Not worth the drive but if I m in the area and I had some friends that wanted to go, sure, why not.

Food was hot. Service was fantastic.

This is a very nice spot when you have a craving for some great brisket or pulled pork. Greeting was friendly and was seated quickly. Our server was very pleasant and welcoming. The food was great although in my opinion, lacking some sauces of some kind. But truly great food. The restaurant itself seemed clean however the restrooms were gross on our visit. Overall a great experience. We will be back.

Awesome experience. We came at lunch time on a bank holiday, it was quite busy but our server Tori was great and attentive. Ordered The Smoke sampler to share between two people. Pulled pork was yummy, loved the bbq beans which were very flavourful, and very glad we got the burger because it was super tasty.

The brisket was somewhat disappointing but the pulled pork was phenomenal, great service and the signature caesar was delicious. I d eat here again.

Great food Awesome service Worth checking out Food : 5/5

Wow amazing brisket, ribs, pulled pork, wings and fries. The flavours of everything are Delish! Meat is tender and juicy. The best in simcoe muskoka and reminds me of southern states BBQ. Only thing we were not a fan of was the mac and cheese, maybe it was a bad day but it was really watery.

Food was very average and service below average, I asked if they had coke in a can, our waitress said it s only for take out!!!!!!! Much better value at Boston Pizza next door! We re not coming back

Stopped here on our way through Collingwood for dinner after hearing great reviews that they offer a great celiac friendly menu. Experience was great from start to finish. Atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, seated quickly, owner was at the door and very attentive. Food was great! It s been awhile since I ve been able to have good bbq and this did not disappoint. Best part, I didn t get sick from cross contamination. They were incredibly mindful of my allergy and I wasn t limited to only 3 things on the menu. Highly suggest and will visit again next time we re in the area. Dietary restrictions: Celiac safe

Food was great, sauces are amazing. Service was good, atmosphere is nothing special. Overall great experience!

Great smoked meat .. yum.. friendly service ..

Will absolutely return whenever Im in the area. Tried a sample plate, and everything was good. Meat fell off the bone, pulled pork was really moist, and the wings were very tasty.

Was recommended by my dad to try out this place and me and my boyfriend were not disappointed. Amazing food, staff greeting us as we walked through the door and affordable prices for the amount of food you get. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was tender + delicious.

Great food at this bbq place. Highly recommend you try the sampler to get a taste of everything

Food is subpar at best. Owner is extremely rude! Maybe they should try and turn the music down so they can get your order right for a change.

Dietary restrictions: Most of the menu is gluten free Food

Great BBQ - brisket sandwich is awesome. Friendly staff and great service!

We had the sampler, which was a perfect start. The pulled pork is out of this world! Kid-friendliness: We brought a two year old who was well entertained with the atmosphere and loved his sliders

Good BBQ with a menu that offers some variety. Burgers went over well with our group; BBQ items (brisket, pulled pork) were average but still were enjoyed. Reasonably priced.

Was in Collingwood for 2 days and this was the best food we had. Service was amazing

Good food and good service. Not cheap though. Not a fan of the 99 cent surcharge for a little extra sauce though

The big bacon sandwich was terrific! Stacked high and very tasty. A bit disappointed with the pork belly burnt ends. Four pieces for the price doesnt seem like great value. Had the sampler. Brisket and pulled pork were great. Gravy is also very tasty.

The food lives up to the hype, the staff were exceptional, and the patio, while small, was well done and dog friendly.

I have some complex food allergies and chef took the time to share the information that I needed to make safe and delicious choices for my meal. Amazing food! Amazing service! Food

Ordered take-out for 2 sampler main courses and spent ~$120. First, the price on the website is out of date and had to pay $7 extra for each meal. Second I asked 3 BBQ sauce on the side for wings, chicken breast and ribs, but then it did not come with any sauce so it was not that good to eat without any sauce. Last, one of the sides (BBQ bean) was missing. I called the restaurant and complained this and asked for a discount since food was missing. They said owner would call me back later but that never happened. Probably a better place to dine in. Definitely check the food before leave (they packed and stapled so I did not open it and check )

First time there, great smoked food and we would highly recommend! Invited by daughter in law and son while they were visiting the area. Our daughter in law is celiac/ gluten-free and was so excited that she was able to have French fries!!! They DO NOT PUT ANYTHING THAT HAS GLUTEN INTO THEIR DEEP FRYERS. Great food is being offered to everyone! Eat in, take out, delivery (by third party?) Closes at 7 pm.

So the day we went they did not have any beef brisket... I was looking forward to trying that out. But as a side alternative I had the pork brisket sandwich and it was quite good. Wife had a smoked chicken sandwich and she enjoyed it. Kids had mac and cheese and nearly finished it (only place theyve ever finished a mac and cheese is the keg), so thats good. I would return but I hope they fix their supplier issue or have backups. You really shouldnt only have one supplier for your main ingredient... Ive worked in the food industry and you always order from two suppliers for things like this from not happening.

Excellent brisket!

Overall, it was good. A bit of a wait, decor was a bit sparse. Corn bread was missing flavor, and it was dry. The platters and the fries were good. It was OK, but I am not sure we would go back anytime soon.

We came here last night, Was really looking forward to this place being good, we looked at the menu prior to going and noticed it s a bit on the higher priced side but we imagined since it s good bbq it will be worth it. Well the bbq is sub par at best, the brisket was terrible and looked more just like a roast beef. definitely not anything bbq related. We got the pork burnt ends for an appetizer, it was 4 tiny pieces of some sort of pork, definitely not a burnt end at all. I know it s Ontario and our BBQ restaurant generally suck but for a place that clearly has been riding off it s accomplishments almost 10 years ago when it was featured on TV it s a very over priced BBQ joint with some of the worst BBQ we ve ever had. Save your money and go to a Montanas or something and you ll get a better rack of ribs and brisket, not good ribs or brisket just better then here. At a better price.

5 stars just isnt enough. If youre in Collingwood and dont stop here, youre missing out on a full-blown experience. The owner and chef is proud and hardworking. Chef has his own table where you will find him greeting guests with a smile as he works and guides his amazing staff through their day. This restaurant is immaculately clean, offers plenty of seating, and has an amazing menu (that offers true seliac safe option). Thanks to the truly amazing chef and staff of this incredible restaurant for feeding us until we felt like we were going to explode. We will never skip this place in iir next visits to Collingwood.

This place... amazing!! Service, food, atmosphere. All on point. So on a Thursday evening 7 of us buddies went and we all ordered different dishes, including a 3 sampler platters with a variety of options. Nobody was dissapointed. Flavor, presentation, value, nailed it all. Sides where great and portion sizes perfect. But before the food even happened. We showed up at 6, knowing they close at 7, and got told it would be a 30 minute wait. We sat outside on a picnic table and the hostest even brought us waters. They had a table take a little longer than planned so they said it would be another 10 minutes. At 640 they seated us, even still knowing theyd close at 7. When we came in there was waters and curtlery ready. A server was over right away to take a drink order and stayed because we knew our food orders right away. The staff cleared other tables as groups left but they never rushed us out the door. Refills came as needed, they checked on us after we got a few tastes of the food. Food was fresh, hot and didnt take a ton of time to be ready. Atmosphere... the vibe is BBQ, you smell the smoke when you walk in, most tables are for good size groups, the music good and at an appropriate volumn. Dress code was relaxed like a good ol family summer BBQ. I will be back and Ill be sure to tell others about this place!!!

The server was great. The food was possibly the worst meal Ive had in a really long time. I was so excited to go here too. The atmosphere is boring. The brisket was fatty. The gravy had a 2cm congealed layer on the top. Gross

We wanted to order smoke burger but the waiter there advised us to order there main famous sandwich (Smoked Beef) and it was amazing cooked very very well and so delicious.

First time here was lunch family(5). We shared two sampler platters. Pulled pork & brisket were amazing. Chicken breast, chicken wings, & ribs were also very good. The only thing lacking for us was options for sides. Fries were great but beans & coleslaw were just ok. Would definitely eat here again!

Great place but really wanted to try out the platters but everyone else wanted just the pulled pork sandwiches. I shouldve just ordered it myself and took home the leftovers lol. I ordered the ribs and they were great

TO DO THE ULTIMATE FOOD CHALLENGE THE OWNER MUST BE PRESENT AND YOU HAVE TO SIGN A WAVIER and the cost is $150. Also the chalkboard with the ultimate food challenge isnt accurate, they have since changed what the food is. The overhead lighting reflects off the menus right into your face. Making it difficult to read the menu. This is all offset by the food and service. The burgers are AMAZING! I have eaten here many times and never been disappointed by the food or service. The people working there are friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. PRO TIP!!! If you order a burger with fries, the first time you pick up your burger hold it over your fries to get all the grease and juices on your fries. Dietary restrictions: They can make most things gluten free.

I had the brisket dinner for 32 dollars. I enjoyed some soggy oil soaked fries with brisket having the texture of shoe leather and zero taste. Im not sure what is the current situation is but this place used to have amazing, tender, delicious brisket with a nice smoke ring. If they dont care anymore then I will just spend money elsewhere.

Amazing food and excellent customer service.

Always great

Food is mediocre at best for the price. Wait staff are incredible though!

Its been a very long time since Ive had service this friendly (the hostess was all smiles) with food this bad. Mac and cheese that tasted like watered down milk on soggy noodles. Brisket that was tasteless and dry (I know I wouldnt have served it). I mean, its brisket! It should be rich and melt in your mouth and this was anything but. The pulled pork was juicy but bland. I think this is the first really negative review Ive put on Google but the price I paid for that food is something others should avoid! Almost forgot! Pork belly burnt ends that were extremely difficult to chew through when they should have been tender and succulent. i know I wont go back! P.S. I should add that the wings were actually quite good! 1/5 aint bad?

Ill start with the good, the hostess was very friendly. I had the pork belly burnt ends, for the price the amount was lacking and the taste just wasnt there, I tried the sauce on its own and it was bland. I also ate the holy cow burger and this was my biggest gripe, the brisket was so over cooked that it was dryer then the Sahara. Luckily I had a bottle of water to get the food down.

Awesome barbecue! Wonderfully satisfying for that craving and if you like meaty loaded nachos they are delicious! (both brisket and pulled pork)

Not worth it.

Excellent

Love the food, but I don t understand why it says they are takeout or dine in and they close at 6pm tonight (Tuesday) and only open till 7 some nights and other nights only open till 8

Chicken sandwich .. simple but tasty and fresh. Quick service.

Noticed a sign for TheSmoke on our way to Blue Mountain. It had that You Gotta Eat Here seal-of-approval, so we figured we should make a stop on our way home. Thank Goodness for that sign! We ordered Cornbread, the Friday Special (Smoked Meat) and Beef Brisket entrees. Hallelujah :) Cornbread tasted home made, and the melted cheese on top was *chefs kiss* Both entrees were juicy, tender, and spiced just right. The Brisket had a unique spice mix that tasted delicious. Service was also top notch. Nicole was a breath of fresh air and stayed on top of things throughout, even when the dinner rush came in. Thank you for making our first experience here memorable. Even though this spot is a 2-hour commute, I wont hesitate to come back if the opportunity presented itself.

This is an excellent BBQ restaurant. Very authentic. Delicious food.

Great food and service! A must try for all visitors!

Great Great great. Perfect beef. Its just wow....

Stopped in for my first time today and was not disappointed at all ! Food was fantastic, reasonably priced and great service! Would highly recommend.

Friday special - Montréal smoked meat sandwich! Delicious! Enjoyed it thoroughly! Great service, clean restaurant and good casual decor!

Wow. 30 bucks for 2 small, super dry and salty pieces of beef brisket. It should melt in your mouth. Just my opinion ! Staff was very good.

$44.00 plus tax per pound! look at the menu prices before you order didnt end up eating most of the brisket

Went in with a party of 10 service was excellent, food was perfect everyone was happy and full. The brisket nachos were a huge hit .

Simply delicious! Great service Local beer too

Spent the weekend in Blue Mountain and we were craving for poutine. We discovered this place on google maps and were so happy we did! We got the pulled pork poutine. Highly recommend. Quality cheese, the BBQ pulled pork was so good! On top of that the owner was super friendly, ensuring we were helped while we waited for take out. They have good customer service here. We will definitely be back for our future Blue Mountain visits!!

Amazing food, amazing service! 10/10 would recommend to all my friends and family!

Amazing! Food was beyond words and service was fantastic. Looking forward to many more visits.
