I ordered a catered lunch for a staff of 20, it was delicious! It was delivered on time and the food was still hot. I had nothing but positive feedback from everyone. The staff was wonderful to deal with, would highly recommend.

Everything was delicious! The weather was miserable outside and the restaurant was warm and inviting inside. My young son had the Reuben and devoured it, said it was the meat was "the best" I had a beef wrap with a side of potato salad and it was perfect. Saw someone else there with the tacos and he said the pulled pork was delicious! Will definitely be going back!

Was totally worth the drive from Bedford during rush hour. I had the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and it was amazing! Piled high and just the right amount of mustard all on a marble rye bread. My friend had the chicken sandwich special, and I stole some of their fries. The fires were soft and fluffy, and seasoned just right for a smokehouse side. It’s not exactly a dine in place. But you can. There’s two tables available to do so. It’s definitely a takeout joint! Will have to go back to try the poutine and pulled pork, ou and the burger and Mac and cheese looked fantastic too!

★★★★★

First time here, definitely not my last! The dirty mac and cheese was amazing, and I love that everything on the menu has a gluten free option (including a dedicated fryer, which is very rare to find). I will absolutely be coming back.

We love coming here for a quick bite to eat for dine in, or takeout. They do a ton of Gluten Free options, and we are never disappointed! Today we got the pulled pork tacos 🌮, and the donair and reuban egg rolls and they were absolutely delicious! I love that with each meal they give you a free gluten free PB cookie! The owner is so nice always chats with us whenever we go in.

We had the pleasure of having Paula cater our wedding this past Wednesday, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough. The food was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly fresh and delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the quality and taste. From the very beginning, our communication with Paula and her exceptional team was outstanding. They were attentive to all our special requests, accommodating various dietary needs with ease. Overall, East Coast Smokehouse provided an exemplary catering experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for any event.

I had the pleasure of visiting East Coast Smokehouse for the first time today, and I am absolutely blown away by the incredible food they offer. Despite driving past the place countless times, I had never realized it was a smokehouse. After stumbling upon it on Google while looking for a lunch spot, I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. The smoked meat sandwich on rye that I ordered was hands down the best sandwich I've ever had in the city. The flavors were rich and the meat was perfectly smoked and tender. My excitement was so contagious that I called my wife to share the discovery, and she immediately requested dinner from there as well. I happily returned to East Coast Smokehouse to pick up tacos and another smoked meat sandwich on rye for her. Needless to say, we both absolutely loved the food. It's safe to say that we've found our new local favorite. The quality of the food and the friendly atmosphere have won us over completely. Thank you, East Coast Smokehouse, for an unforgettable dining experience!

As a person with celiac disease, its so rare that I find a restaurant where I can eat basically everything on the menu, let alone somewhere where the food is delicious and the service is great. This is definitely going to be a regular stopping point on my way home from work now! <3 Dietary restrictions: Basically everything on the menu is gluten FREE (not friendly). They have a dedicated fryer for gluten free items and offer GF desserts, fried food, and other goodies that are hard to find. Very celiac safe!

Catering, unorganized, unreliable, unethical. we wanted to use them for our wedding, however when we moved the date, they delivered to the wrong place, wrong time, then every time we communicated they gave us the wrong date/time and location despite the fact we gave it to them a number of times in writing. It would take long periods to get a response, and we couldnt guarantee they would actually deliver so we had to cancel and go with a last minute caterer who we found reliable. because we didnt want to have problems the day of. They also could no longer guarentee delivery, which was agreed upon when we first ordered. We went with Boneheads, who respond to emails immediately. provided reasonable quotes (better price), and handled everything extremely professional, and we know their food is quality. after all of the confusion we asked for deposit back and they refused, even though this was due to their bad service

October 22, 2024

*Following up on the review and comment below* CATERING - BEWARE! Very unprofessional, unreliable, inconsistent and disorganized. We reached out for the Smokehouse to cater our wedding, we then canceled the wedding and decided to elope and still use their food for our reception after the fact. We updated the Smokehouse of the cancelation, change in date and location. In the comments they say I used multiple emails to communicate with them, not true. I only have one email address. We were on our honeymoon on the original day our wedding was supposed to be and I get an email saying they are there with our food and that they were turned away as there was no wedding there that day. I have all the emails that we had exchanged about us canceling the wedding and the service for that date/location. As well as the emails where we reschedule for a different date/location. All of which were replied to and agreed on. This was a complete mistake on their behalf due to poor organization. They made it seem like it was our fault in the comment below. In that comment as well they said the food was made twice for us, if that is the case they made it wrong twice as our reception hasnt even happened yet. With all the confusion, a new email was sent with everything they needed to know. We got confirmation emails after this with the date, time and location WRONG when they had it all in writing. They took days to reply to us voicing our concerns and we are just days away from the event which made us really worry. We had lost all faith that they were going to make it to the correct location on the correct day and time. We had no choice but to go with another company. Its been a stressful 2 weeks with this company leading up to our event. With the inconvenience and all things considered we asked for a refund on our deposit and got no reply back, we so are assuming thats a no which is super unfortunate as we did nothing wrong in all of this.

October 22, 2024

Though I cannot comment on the food itself because.. well.. it never showed up, I can comment on the lack of organization and professionalism. Catering arrived on the wrong date, and after many emails confirming the correct date, failed to show up. The way we felt treated after putting faith into this business to cater such an important event, I am truly disappointed. I could live with the honest mistake but the way our group had been treated, I would not recommend.

June 22, 2024

It was $20 after tax for a smoke meat sandwich and fries - the marble bread was very good soft and chewy - just the right amount of mustard - the smoke meat itself gets more flavorfull as you eat it (I ve been spoiled to eat at dunns, nickels and Schwartz all in Montreal over the years) so my expectations were high. It s nice little spot and two ladies who were there are very nice. It was good and I ll go back again.

This place is 10 stars! Ive eaten here a dozen times and never been disappointed. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the portions are crazy. Prices should honestly be more for what they give you (shhhh). The staff is so friendly and nice. Its a real pleasure every time I visit. I also have a gluten allergy and not only do they have yummy gluten free options, a lot of things they automatically make gluten free It is so nice to have another place that my husband and I can go where we can both get yummy food. Did I mention how delicious and droll worthy the food was yet? (Oh and you get a free cookie with each meal). If you havent gone...GO!!!

My husband and I went there a couple days ago for the first time. I ordered the banh mi and my husband ordered the Montreal smoked meat sandwich. They both were really good and Im just happy that there was not only a gluten-free option but it was really delicious. My husbands rye bread was also made in house for his sandwich. I believe most of their items are freshly made including their variety of desserts. The smoked meat is one of the best Ive had. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly when it came to us ordering. When I went to open my order I noticed that my gluten-free food was separated from my husbands regular food . On top of that they added an extra cookie as a little treat. I would recommend you going there especially for the gluten-free options and given how they were keeping everything seperate if you have celiac it should be a safe place to go. This will be my go to spot everytime were in Halifax! Dietary restrictions: They cater to gluten free options but also have your regular options.

Due to the many positive reviews and myself being Celiac, I decided to take the family tonight. I m sure glad I did! I got the GF smoked Angus burger with fries, my wife got the Reuben sandwich and my kids got the Mac & Cheese. Hard to comment on my family s meal as I didn t try, but everyone loved their meal. Mine was absolutely delicious. I m not sure what spice or coating they put on the fries, but they were absolutely delicious and done in a dedicated GF fryer to boot! I didn t even need the ketchup for them they were so good! I could definitely taste the smoky flavor of the burger and it was amazing! Not only that, we got to sample some fresh-baked GF sourbread and it was so good! Will definitely be back! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

I did a food review on this place had a chat with Paula the owner she s got a good 17 years of experience, Tenant culinary school and had kitchens and Thailand, Mexico and other parts of Canada. A lot of passion and creativity goes into her food. She also runs a food truck here in Halifax as well. I had the smoked sausage which is smoked right there on site. It came with sauerkraut. I got the pineapple habanero pico everything is homemade. I had to pull pork taco I told her I like spicy spicy food. She actually created her own spicy sauce, which was fantastic. I had the Ruben sandwich which is one of their most popular items marble rye bread lots of sauerkraut homemade thousand island dressing. This was so so good meat was so tender and juicy, I had pulled pork sliders which had homemade coleslaw. Cabbage barbeque sauce is all homemade not hot sauce has reaper ghost pepper has a great kick to it. The next one was the Bohn-Mi Kan with Seasoned pork, shoe string, carrots, cilantro, radish . I have the cold poutine, which is pulled pork MONTREAL cheese curd mozzarella potato salad had some bacon in. It was so good al all this was a great experience if you d like barbeque definitely need to check this place out. They also cater check my TikTok channel for the full review. Shaneandersonhfx.

After placing my order, I witnessed her interacting with a mom with 2 children who asked about dietary restrictions. She was so informative and happy to help. The food was incredible and had a surprise of 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies in the bag. Also delicious! Thank you #eastcoastsmokehouse. #supportlocal #bigpoutinefest

Came for lunch and ordered the ribs. The ribs were very delicious and Smokey, the beans were also the perfect smokiness and the coleslaw was delicious. Staff was so friendly and came over to chat and see how things were. Portions were good, but for big eaters you will have to get more sides. I feel like this restaurant had a couple things that could improve a little, like the burger (a little over cooked) and the atmosphere is a little cold, but I think it will find its groove and turn out some great stuff. I did especially like that they had Bahn Mi on the menu. We will be back to try other things!

Lol I tripped over the floor when I walked in to get a menu. Staff were friendly and kind. I ordered on skip the dishes later. A couple suggestions. A little more bbq sauce on the pulled pork tacos and Id like to see an option on skip to remove the hollandaise type sauce drizzled on top. Then theyd be perfect. Similar to the option to chose between pico and pineapple habanero. The pineapple habanero was good, but muted by the other sauce. It would be reeeeealllly good with just a touch more bbq sauce on the pork. Pulled pork sandwich was huge and the meat was good. Bread was a bit soggy from the steam and pickles. My cookies, I appreciate the extra treat. They were wet I guess From being in a fridge? Or maybe from being outside in a cold car on the way here. Other than that it was pretty good.

I ve been here a few times now and it s been consistently delicious, excellent portion sizes and value, and with very friendly staff.

Had lunch there today I had pulled pork tacos and my wife had a Reuben sandwich with smoked baked beans. The Reuben and the beans were delicious. The tacos were the best tasting I have eaten but they were quite wet and difficult to eat. Heres where the service comes in. The cook / waitress asked how it was and I replied wet but delicious. She tried to convince me to let her replace the meal I said no because Id finished 2 of the 3 and was very satisfied. My surprise was she refused to put the Tacos on the bill. Well certainly be back. P.S. limited seating most business is take out and catering.

Sometimes fate steps in. I had originally picked a pub/grill in the area and turns out they were closed. My wife looked and found this nearby place and we decided to give it a try based on two search words, BBQ and smoked. Being an avid fan of smoked meats, I was excited to find two of the dishes filled with thick, smokey flavor, the beef and the pulled pork. The dressing and slaw that accompanied both were spot on and as any good dressing, optional depending on how much you wanted to focus on the smoked meat. Really good and inventfully flavored sides made my lunch delicious, as well as my wifes, which I sampled. I think they are spot on with the meats and sides. My only recommendation would be bring on some hot sauces/rubs from the south or west US as an option. Perhaps even as a schtick of some kind. Either way though, necessary visit for those who love the smoke. Would love to see a smoked turkey seasonally. Im sure theyd knock it out of the park!

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant and we were blown away! Almost every item can be made gluten free... And not just as a second thought the owner has developed delicious recipes that are naturally gluten free! I had the dirty Mac and cheese gluten free, stunning... It was so delicious and a large serving! I happily took my leftovers home for lunch. My husband had the smoked Angus burger with a side of fries, the burger looked amazing and he said it was delicious! Each meal also comes with a complimentary cookie, the gluten free one was absolutely amazing, I will be placing an order for them in the future. The service was phenomenal, the girl who was working was so kind and made sure to explain the menu to us. The Owner came out to talk to us and she is so friendly and told me about her background and how she works hard at developing her gluten free recipes! My next order will definitely be a sandwich on her house made gluten free sour dough! The restaurant itself is small there are two tables inside but multiple tables outside. It was absolutely spotless inside. I wish I could give this spot more stars because they deserve it!! Dietary restrictions: The absolute best gluten free menu I have seen!

ERMAGERD! YOUR FOOD IS SOOOOOOO GOOD!! I am a celiac disease sufferer and I have very few places I can trust to eat at. This place is the best. The service is super fantastic. Its an amazing atmosphere, you get the feeling like your coming home. The ladies on staff are so kind and very educated on cleanliness techniques for safe gluten free consumption. The food is so amazing. We had very adult expressions on our face the whole time while we ate!! I cant say enough awesome things about this place!!!

We have been coming here for the past month or so and honestly have tried everything on the menu and have loved everything. Today my husband and I tried the pot pie special. It was by far the best pot pie I have ever tasted. Our only request is that it be a permanent option on the menu. Thank you Paula, Cathy and Addy! You folks are gems

Had the bbq pork bahn mi, and it was far from what I expected. The bread was not a baguette The sweet and sour sauce felt out of place. The fries were soggy and cold, and the seasoning was barely present. The meat and veggies were fine. This place came to me as a recommendation from a trusted friend. I will not be back.

My brother and law and I visited East Coast Smokehouse during some home renovations. We got the smoked meat on our first visit and were so enamored we came back a few days later for the steak sandwich special. We were very pleased both times we visited and the (I believe) owners were lovely and very attentive. Looking forward to heading back!

I have eaten Rueben sandwiches from many different places over the years as it is my favorite sytle of sandwich. When I heard East Coast Smokehouse had a Rueben I had to try it. My honest review of their Rueben is as follows: 1. The brisket was delicious. Hands down the best that I have had to date! 2. The quantity of meat was lacking compared to other places I have tried. However adding more meat at the same pricepoint would make it hard for me to stay away. 3. The rye bread used was dissapointing. It was quite thin and not being grilled the juices from the brisket made the bread soft/soggy and it basically fell apart. Recommendation: Please consider changing your rye bread to a thicker marble rye and please, please, please grill the bread before the sandwich assembly. This will help to hold the sandwich together and gives a nice crispy bite. That combined with more of your amazing brisket and people will be lined up down Sackville Drive. You have the most difficult part figured out, but you just need to fine tune the sandwich making skills, and you will have the best sandwich in the city! On another note my daughter tried their poutine and loved it! Parking: The parking lot was somewhat challenging to spot. If driving outbound there is a small parking lot to the right of the building just as you turn in. When I turned into the location I noticed the parking lot on the other side which is where I parked but then I thought it might of been a private parking lot so I moved.

Delicious food, good company. We were made to feel welcome and as if we were having dinner in their home. Two ladies were so engaging with our family and very kind. I had the Applewood Pork Sliders and they were so delicious. My kids had the poutine and loved the seasoning on the fries the best. My husband had the Bahn Mi Meatball Sandwich and loved it. However he will need to come back to try the Monteal Smoked Meat Sandwich. Very well done, we will be back!

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant when I bought a gluten-free meal for my wife and some smoked ribs for myself. Although I had never been here before, I heard that they offered gluten-free options, so we decided to give it a try. My wife had a gluten-free smoked burger and poutine, which was a lot of food, but having both options was truly amazing. While the menu is small, the amount of food and the prices and quality are beyond what you would typically find at a well known restaurant. I highly recommend East Coast Smokehouse, BBQ, Deli & Catering Co. in Lower Sackville.

Best smoked meat Ive ever had. It is similar to Schwartzs in Montreal (and Id would say better). When I visit Montreal I go to that place just for the smoked meat. Paula changed the game with her delicous smoked meat. Now I can have it in the city. Also, Paulas sense of humour is contagious. Imagine enjoying your meal, laughing, and enjoying every moment with every bite. Thanks Paula and the team for this amazing experience.

Great food great service and fills a niche in the area. To the person complaining about the price of the poutine theres a $4.99 side poutine instead of the full meal one. The student special also seems great. My friend had the smoked meat sandwich done Ruben style and a side poutine (which was 1 full side of a take out container) I had the pork belly baos and smoked potatoe salad both were delicious. Ive eaten quite a few baos and these ones were definitely the most full, 3 slices of pork belly in each one. They were over flowing, the potato salad had a great flavor I just wish it was a little chunkier, maybe bigger pieces would be better. Also the complimentary chocolate chip cookies we received were a nice touch to a well rounded meal. Just remember you get what you pay for.

Fantastic smoked food, with a decent variety of vegetarian and gluten-free selections. More of a take-out than an eat-in restaurant, though there are a couple of tables for those who wish to eat on the spot. That said, I would define the quality of the food as more restaurant than fast food. A little Sackville gem! Dietary restrictions: Theyre very careful when preparing meals for those with dietary restrictions. They even have a dedicated gluten-free fryer.

Ive really wanted to love this place but their quality is a bit uneven. Their customer service is great but food is a bit hit or miss This week my wife & I had their dirty Mac & Cheese. The Mac & Cheese was bland and the pulled pork was too spicy. I ordered today their bratwurst & pierogies and they were really good. I fully intend to go back & hope to score another winner.

I ve come twice now, foods not horrible, but for a smokehouse it s well below par and the menu is super basic and does not have most things a smoke house would be known to have. Tasty but small Montreal smoked meat sandwich and two pork sliders which tasted like dirt, total of almost 40 dollars with no drinks or sides of any kind. I d say that was my last time, I already knew this but I figured I d try one more time.
