If you’re looking for a spot that feels like a warm hug from a smoky grill, Smoke and Bones is the place to be! My husband, my son, and I had the pleasure of trying their brisket and ribs, and let me tell you—WOW. The brisket was tender perfection, and the ribs? Fall-off-the-bone magic! Not only is the food fantastic, but the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff? Absolute legends. They make you feel like family. Smoke and Bones, you’ve officially stolen our hearts (and our appetites). We’ll be back for sure—save us a rack!

The brisket and burger were excellent, and the service was friendly, clean, and organized. However, the open table did not work for reservations; it is better to call them.

Amazing BBQ. Waited over a year to come here and not disappointed. Best ribs I’ve had, brisket was incredible. Friendly service and amazing smoke rings. Will be coming back to try everything on the menu. $5 all day beer too what a win!!

Had the platter for 4! Excellent BBQ ribs, chicken, beef brisket, fries, potato salad, beans, and corn bread. Definitely recommend enjoying this for dine in or take out. The other menus with cheaper prices are over 7 years old, I've posted the most recent as of May 2024, use those menus and note the current prices.

★★★
November 16, 2023

The food is really good but the prices to the portion size are pretty bad. I paid $30+ for pulled pork and fries. When it came it looked alright but after I moved it around so my fries wouldn't get as soggy, the portion size was disappointing, it just looked like a lot when it covered the fries.. lies!!. Like come on. Also the corn bread muffin isnt the best. I don't recommend it for the $6

The food was good. I saw a bunch of awards, but I wouldnt say my barbecue chicken was fantastic. I could use more sauce and flavor; however, the fries were really well seasoned, id like a little crispier. Service was really good and food delivered really fast. Id say just short of five stars, but everything else made up the difference.

We love it here ! Me and my girlfriend stumbled upon this place, walking by sometime in the summer. I m a big smoked meat guy and I gotta say this place is honestly one of my favourites. Every single thing on their menu is good, Their Caesar salad all the way to their ribs, wings, and brisket. Cocktails are great and well priced. The staff is all super friendly, We re actually regulars now so they know our face which is cool lol Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good smoked meats in Toronto probably some of the best smoked food I ve ever ever had.

Beef brisket is a must try. Dried ribs also good~

September 22, 2024

The Bartender/server is one of the most passive aggressive people we have come across. Clearly doesnt want to be there, but for some reason is there. Told us we have 30 minutes to order, but went around talking and standing around and came back 5 minutes before closing. Then proceeded to huff and puff while we were eating, even though we were ready to order right when we sat down since we were left standing up front for 10 minutes without anyone addressing us, we utilized this time to see the menu. Then when we asked for our bill it took him 15 minutes as he was too busy, he was preforming closing duties and told us to wait. If you dont want to work there just stop.

I had been going by this place for a while and finally popped in to give it a shot, boy was I impressed. I got the two meat platter with brisket and ribs, both the brisket and ribs were falling apart tender. The brisket has a great bark on it and the ribs were the perfect amount of saucy. Their fries were really good and came out piping hot as well. I left extremely happy and full, Ill for sure be coming back.

Ordered on Uber eats- the food was good but extremely small portion for the cost! Paid $55 for a two meat plate (1 sausage and 3 pieces of beef brisket, handful of fries, dollop of potato salad and a corn bread muffin) and $20 for 5 tiny jalapeño poppers. Definitely overpriced and felt ripped off for $80 dinner for 1.

★★★
July 22, 2024

Service was great! Our waitress was friendly and fast. Food was ok. I really enjoyed the potato salad and the fries, the brisket looked great, but lacked flavor and was on the dry side. The ribs were dry and chewy. My kids really loved the mac and cheese and the bite I had was indeed, delicious. My wife enjoyed her strips and fries. I didnt take my leftovers home and I never do that. But, maybe its just me. 5bout of 6 people liked their orders.

Cool spot, ribs were dry and inedible, even the replacement ribs were overcooked. The brisket was delicious. The cornbread muffin tasted like it was old, very dry and turned to powder. Not worth the $50.

Every single meat item on the menu is flawless, even the sausage which seems a rare treat around here. However fries tend to be over seasoned and both salads are mediocre at best which is a shame. Service and general cleanliness could be greatly improved. Ooh and wet towelettes are a must, please!

The real deal for sure! Great bbq and amazing atmosphere. 100% recommend. Update: Went for a second time and service was poor (server only came once to table) and tried the brisket; worker tried to convince me that a lump of fat was a delicacy! This aint my first time eating brisket and wasnt going to eat a piece of brisket that had only fat. Other than the brisket, the other food (pulled pork, ribs, and chicken) was strong. But disappointed about the brisket and service.

We are in Vancouver from Ontario for some concerts and found Smoke and Bones online. Hit them up for lunch after touring Stanley Park and my goodness was the food absolutely delicious. I had the 2 Meat Combo and my wife had the dukes Mac n cheese. Both of these dishes were incredible. We are in town for another day and we will 100% be eating lunch there again tomorrow after our morning plans. If youre in Vancouver and you enjoy quality award winning BBQ then Smoke and Bones is a MUST! Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious. I ordered the Chilli (without the sour cream and cheese), big yummy chunks of meat and was the perfect size in my opinion. The garlic toast was also fresh and house made garlic butter. My husband ordered the beef brisket burger and was just as happy with his meal. I also ate some of his fries, heavily seasoned but sooo good.

I am a loyal and old client I have lost count how many times I have been there, I had given 5 star before, but over the past couple of years the quality of this place has gone down. first, they change the dishes to trays which makes food go cold quick, please serve it on a smaller plate so the portions look bigger and heat the plates. Potion to price ratio is not what it used to be. Corn bread is too eggy and dry. there is no fun vibe or branding going on here, no innovation and hype in the menu. The brisket is not as juicy anymore, and inconsistent freshness and quality in the past 10 visits . Simple solution, no BBQ place serves burnt ends briskets in the entire VANCOUVER, so MAKE IT, Pay little bit of money to local food influencers to promote you and build a brand again. Build a CRM and start collecting client info like phone number so you can promote new menu items.

I love this restaurant but they took a reservation for a birthday party we planned well in advance for 7:30pm only for us to find out on the day of the occasion the place closes at 8pm. They booked us and let us schedule a whole event for a time they aren t even open at. It was very hard to get everyone s schedules and geography lined up and the staff needs to know their own hours. The food is the best bbq I know of around the lower mainland, so don t let this review affect your opinion of the food.

Not the best BBQ. Not the worst BBQ. But for the price Im expecting more. Very pricy. 2 meat combo is $50. Thats very pricy. They were cheaper at one point but just shot up in price. Also Ive had better from other places. Nothing against them. I love my BBQ and if the prices were more on par with say Memphis blues. Id be happier.

Decent to good BBQ. Elite for BC standards. Brisket could be juicier. Award-winning ribs are fine. Texture is good, smoky flavor is great, but not fatty enough and slightly dry. The real issue is that the value just isnt there. Almost $20 for a Mac and Cheese with a single small piece of rib is not right.

★★★
December 22, 2023

Nice enough place, food looks great, but lacks flavour. Pricey for what you get. I know its a smoke house, but you need to add some bbq sauce to your pulled meat sandwiches. When you order a pulled meat sandwich it needs to be saucy and messy. You provide us with napkins and a moist towelette, but I didnt even need to use it.

I struggled on this one as the bbq is Decent, however I ended up on a 2 start and just cant give this a recommendation due to cost. The dishes are as expected, brisket (good but pretty fatty), pulled pork (below average), sausage (good), chicken (good), pork ribs (average), bbq sauce (average), sides (below average). It just isnt worth the money you pay for average bbq.

Vancouver is pretty starved for good BBQ places, but in my opinion, this has got to be one of the best, if not the best. Have had the ribs, pulled pork, and brisket, as well as some of the sandwiches, and I cant recommend them all enough. Only downside is that price is getting up there and is getting harder to justify. Whenever I come the food is delivered extremely fast, which normally is a plus, but I feel like I dont even have time to relax and drink my beer before my food is served, I think they are missing out on getting people to stay awhile, relax and buy more beers. Also the beer I had was pretty flat, I didnt come during peak hours, but they should really have someone who knows how to pour a beer. I want a nice beer if Im enjoying BBQ. Anyways, I still recommend this place, dont want to seem to negative, the main draw, the BBQ is high quality and flavourful

Its hard to find good BBQ in the Lower Mainland and Im thankful to have found this place as the BBQ is definitely solid. Still room for improvement as some of the meats were slightly dried out and over smoked, if thats even possible, but overall everything on the family platter was very tasty and we enjoyed the experience. Ill definitely be going back and hope I can bump it to 5 stars for food. Staff and atmosphere are great!

Just bought ten minutes ago. Taste was fine. But that is $40 not even enough for a single to eat for take/delivery out. I have been ordered there many times. And each time is more and more less than I expected. May be it is because I called from my out-province number will not be there again.

A casual and large bbq restaurant in North Van. We had the beef brisket with fries which was delicious and would def order again. The portion seemed small at first but it does fill you up. The Mac and cheese was mediocre for us, the bbq pork on top is delicious but the Mac and cheese lacked flavor. We will come back and try out their other bbq meats.

I had really high hopes for Smoke and Bones BBQ but unfortunately the food just wasn t up to the standard your expect from great American BBQ. We had sausage, pulled pork and ribs as well as some cornbread, pickles and slaw. Unfortunately the sausage and ribs were both over cooked and were dry. The cornbread was also quite dry, it needed some form of butter or something to keep it moist. Service was alright, but slow considering it wasn t that busy.

We dined here after a hike nearby. Parking was a little tricky to find. The meats were all flavorful and tender. The smokiness of the meat was perfect for me - not too smoky/charred. For sides, get their fries....they were delish. One of us was vegetarian and ordered the beyond meat burger and it was done very well. Our party also had a little one and she enjoyed her burger thoroughly. The whole party was satisfied and will be coming back if we are ever around the area.

We were really excited to try the place out, given all of the rewards they ve won. Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. Wasn t met with a kind welcome, no smiles, but no big deal. We went off the waitresses recommendation, shared the ribs, brisket, and added pulled pork. First off, portions are small, which isn t an issue if the quality of food is good. But keep in mind for the price, the portions are underwhelming. The food, sadly, was dry and very salty. The focus was way too much on the sauces and not on the quality of how well the meat was prepared. It might have been the time of day, but we got there around 7:30pm and the food came really quickly, making us think that they just warmed up something that was made awhile ago. I suppose warming up food is fine, but this was not quality meat. It s as if they were trying to mask the dryness with all of the sauce and the only way to balance the saltiness out was with the coleslaw. We were starving so we dealt with it hoping the waitress would come around. She eventually asked how the food was, and despite the feedback of being salty and dry, she didn t do anything about it. We finished the food since we were past the point of no return but it became pretty painful to eat by the end of it. Again, might have just been the time of day but we were not happy with our time there. We were really hoping for a nice evening at a nice place.

We love the brisket and pulled pork. Sides are also great. The food usually gets ready fast as well. Both times I went it took some time before someone talked to me, but it was worth the wait!

Being from Calgary and being a big fan of all types of smoked meats... they did not disappoint. Maybe a few more beers on tap; not everyone is an IPA Beer fan, but by no means a deal killer. Our server came up with great alternatives in a bottle beer. Great job. I would definitely recommend them and go back.

A male bald waiter was very rude with us. We are not from Canada, and we thought the service was already included in the bill, and instead of he explain it to us, he started to say rude things and gesticulating. It was a terryble experience. Depite of it, the food was good. Food

We loved our lunch at Smoke and Bones! We were dying to try some amazing bbq that was not another commercial chain. We tried the wings and the two meat combo, which included a portion of melt in your mouth brisket and some incredible ribs. We rate this restaurant a solid 11/10 for the food, if not more!

I dont even trust my review with this because my body is fighting me. However , I got the pulled pork sandwich. The sauce was nice but the meat was pretty dry and so was the bun. Maybe its because I got the server and I ordered to go, but the server was quite rushed , there was no interaction other than are you ready to order yet and a slight eye roll when I requested no slaw (I am very allergic). The woman that came in behind us was warmly welcomed by the guy behind the bar. There was a friendly conversation. He took the time to go over the menu with her. The service was night and day between customers. Definitely trying to give the server the benefit of the doubt but nothing about my interaction has inspired me to return.

Really good bbq, great flavour but not perfect. The brisket was real charry and black on the outside and the corn bread is a corn cupcake that sorta just crumbles. Overall really good, recommend.

There is nothing like this restaurant on the entire North Shore. Heavily awarded awesome BBQ meat dishes. Easily some of the best, most unique french fries Ive ever had. Incredible menu options and southern inspired dishes. I love coming here for these reasons. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The patio seems dog-friendly and their indoor dining area is a unique vibe, complete with a great big glorious looking trophy wall. Try these guys out, and youll fall in love with the place. Wheelchair accessibility: The entire restaurant is ground floor.

I had the rib/chicken combo, $40. Insulted when two pieces of chicken, one being the drumstick, arrived. Why not half a chicken? Too pricy. The menu did advertise rub French fries. And they were, too salty. The bbq portion was tasty but not worth the price. The server was the delight of this place for me.

We were craving some BBQ and thought wed check Smoke and Bones BBQ out. It was a bit of a drive from where we were staying in Vancouver, but we had nothing else to do. The service was great, friendly, and prompt. It wasnt busy at all, so that was nice in a way. We shared a tray meal that came with various meats and some side dishes. We also threw in a side of Brussel Sprouts. The brisket was good and one of their best sellers! The pulled pork was also quite tasty. We had some potato salad, it wasnt the best Ive had, but we still ate it so I wouldnt say it was horrible. The Brussel Sprouts were on point and crispy, which we enjoyed. The cornbread was good, too - pretty classic when it comes to BBQ, and thats exactly what we were seeking out.

Do not order from this place unless you want your order messed up, especially on delivery apps. Constantly gave the wrong items or left entire items out. Definitely do not order delivery from this place, on too many chances from me won t be getting another order 0 stars all across the board.

Very disappointed with the service and the food. The waitress was so rude that didn t even have patience to wait until we finished eating to take the plates in front of our desk. The food was not upto the mark. When we asked the waiter said all the meat is fresh and but it was extremely dry and soggy. We went to the restaurant looking at the reviews but greatly disappointed. The only thing that was good was the fries. It was crispy and had great flavours. Overall didn t have a good experience.
