Dec 16 2024 4:00pm I called and made a order for pickup and when I got there I asked if they had forks and the young man serving me gave me forks. I didn’t tip because I don’t tip when I pick up food it’s not like I’m sitting down and your bringing my a glass of water. the next day I call and order more food because it was good and a fair price. The person who served me the previous day told me when I picked up the food that the forks were already in the bag. He remembered that I wanted forks through the phone call. This is going above and beyond my expectations so I tried to give him $5 cash for himself and he refused and told me just to put it in the tip jar to I assume share with the team. This checks every box of a quality person he deserves a good raise because you can trust him to take care of customers and you want to keep classy individuals like himself for as long as you can. My only complaint is on the food I ordered a Texas poutine it comes with brisket and it was great but they were such big pieces of brisket you couldn’t fit any fries with it so maybe next time I’ll just ask if they could cut the brisket into smaller pieces but it was still really good.

I am a regular client ordering deliveries all the time. Recently the chicken BBQ are arriving highly dry, and no moisture and some burned. And the fries like they have been cooked twice. At first I ignored maybe it's one time thing but now it has been 3 times and even after reporting this it's the same. This is the last time il order front this and it's a shame because you charge very high price and you used to offer high quality BBQ . Now since some time things have been extremely declining in value. For 40$ invoice very bad quality.

Authentic smoked Bbq, so authentic infact that its smokey in the restaurant from it. So in essence youre smoked while eating smoked meat. My kind of place. Food was great went with a group of 10 and everyone loved it. Fries were perfect. I will try the smoked wings next time.

Best smoked anything I've ever had. I honestly cant remember better ribs. Same for the baked beans. The pulled pork was very good. The wings were good. Even the coleslaw was unique, in the best way. I wish they were on the same side of the city as I am. I will definitely need to order food to bring home with me from work.

Got the Elvis platter. Was amazing. The ribs and pulled pork were out of this world. Also the gentleman inside was super nice. This is a must eat in the Kanata/Ottawa area. Ps I started eating before I took this picture. It looked a lot better before I started going to town.

Love their food. Generous portions with decent pricing Went in on Tuesday night so we got the Tuesday special with 1lb Pulled pork, 1lb wing and "small" fries. Their fries are enough to share among 2 person Their nachi is very good as well, with drizzle of BBQ sauce in top. It comes with BBQ pulled pork as one of the topping Can't wait to try their ribs

Went there tonight with my 3 kids and boyfriend. My boyfriend is from Toronto where they have many big bone barbecues and said I had to try it. I’m telling you, don’t sleep on this joint! So finger licking good! My boyfriend tried their 911 inferno wings back in the day and tried them again tonight. Still says they are the hottest wings he’s ever tried

I had ordered food on Friday and the quality and taste were not there. I was going to submit a bad review but I decided to phone and talk to the manager and I have to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to the manager. He listened to my complaint and he immediately rectified the situation and made me feel like his customers DO MATTER. I personally thank you ( manager ) for being so cordial. A lot of other places could learn from your professionalism ad if they did learn something from you ten there wouldnt be so many upset customers. Once again I thank you for the professionalism.

Great servers but the food was lacking a bit

August 22, 2024

For a rare family gathering, we placed a $210 takeout order for 6 people. When we got home and opened the order, 1/3rd of it was missing! Since it would have taken too long to replace the rest of the order, we agreed to get a refund for the missing food as a gift certificate. When I picked up the gift certificate a few days later, they only gave me $25. That didnt even cover the missing food, let alone an apology for the ruined dinner.

Was wicked.... I had the ribs, poutine, some slaw and beans. Was wicked... I really enjoyed their BBQ sauce. It was delicious. Seriously a wicked spot that I would encourage anyone to try. Good vibes and solid food. The only thing I would recommend is that I think they should evenly distribute the BBQ sauce on the ribs. There was portions that weren t covered really.

Ordered the Brisket Cheese Steak for take out. The blonde lady at the front cash was extremely rude and unhelpful. I asked about the portion size, and she replied smugly with attitude in her tone. My friend also asked her what kind of beans they were serving, she replied with a rude theyre just beans. Not only was the customer service horrible, but the food turned out awful. Ive never had anything so dry and flavourless in my life. I expected the beef brisket to be juicy and savoury, but the consistency of the meat resembled more like dehydrated beef jerky. The slice of cheese was also cold.... Additionally, my friends and I ordered for takeout an hour before closing due to not wanting to be a hassle to the staff near their closing time, and when we arrived back home, we discovered that at least 3 of our side orders were missing or incorrect. Disappointed, will never return.

Terrible food. Dont go here. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich. Pork smells and tastes gross and BBQ sauce just tastes like ketchup. Probably the most disgusting pulled pork sandwich Ive ever had in my life, I took two bites and threw it in the garbage where it belongs. What a waste of money. Not to mention the fries are god awful.

Ordered twice now. Both times we were missing food. One time all sides, one time all of out pig skins. Very disappointed that we have to take this place off our list for hosting partys as they simply can not be counted on :( Insult to injury, they will refund what yout missing, but when you are missing all the sides and only have meat, your left scrambling to host your party... $18 is a petty compensation for unreliability. Maybe one day we will try a sit down meal but I dont recommend ordering.

Ive had the ribs before and ever since,Ive been craving a GOOD rack of ribs. My father and I drove 2.5hrs to go eat these delicious ribs! It was my first time dining in and the service was great and the atmosphere was a nice small spot to enjoy some Delicious food. I got Mondays 38$ speacial platter of 1 full rack of ribs, 1lbs smoked wings(amazing),and choice of fries or onion rings or a salad. Let me tell you... the size of the ribs(juicy) and wings were definitely worth the drive and the $$. The staff and owners are very friendly and attentive. I enjoy their cornbread too if youre in Ottawa or just want some great BBQ this is the spot! Ill definitely be returning. Thank you guys

We just tried this place for the first time today. The ribs are a religious experience! I took one bite, and my hands went UP! I was praying to the BBQ Gods in thanks! My husband had the pulled pork sandwich, which disappeared so fast that I didn t even get a chance to ask to try it. We got take out, and when we got home the fries were still nice and crispy! Oh! And the corn bread! .oh .that corn bread I am actually happy that I live a bit of a drive away from this place, because if I didn t, I would be in trouble Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible.

My gosh this was a huge disappointment. I was unhappy to discover that all the meats (yes, including the ribs) were dry and fairly tough. There was very little sauce on them and if you wanted any more you had to pay. Almost none of the myriad of sauces listed in the menu were available. In fact, I was TOLD which sauce would be on the dishes and told that they would not make it any other way. I was hoping for a good feed of ribs from a local shop, but no. It didn t turn out that way at all. Specifically with the ribs, they were flavourless. Their lack of flavour could only be attributed to having been cooked in water then heated on a pan with the sauce. Very very disappointed, and the prices were out of line with the poor quality of the food. I recommend you find a different ribs place than this one.

We had heard good things about this restaurant, but were disappointed with our meal. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, which the menu said was a coated chicken breast. It turned out to be two chicken fingers on a bun with lettuce and tomato. This would have been somewhat okay if the chicken fingers were chicken breast as the menu stated, and not some frozen strips. Maybe this was my fault assuming it was a whole chicken breast and not something youd buy in the store. The 2 stars is for the pulled pork sandwich, which was the only decent item in the order.

My friend and I ordered 2 lbs of the Fried Wings along with Montreal Dry sauce and Hot Creamy Parmesan sauce. The wings looked and tasted OLD and boy they were tough too. The coating was so hard that I had to use a butter knife to cut it off in order to reach the meat inside, which turned out to be bland and certainly not juicy. The Montreal Dry sauce was merely one tablespoon of Montreal Steak Spice. I measured the stuff just for the heck of it. Dry spice does not fit the definition of a sauce IMO. As for the Hot Creamy Parmesan sauce...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? It was a small container of bland white salad dressing (?) with a thread of red juice running through it and a small mound of powdered parmesan dumped on top. They hadnt even made the effort to stir this concoction to make it into a homogeneous sauce. And it was not hot in the least. Hands down the worst wings either of us have ever eaten in our respective lives. We both actually felt ill after the meal. What a disappointment. What a sickening waste of money in these trying times.

Went here while on a trip to Ottawa because it wasnt too far from out hotel and had good reviews. The food was very good and the staff is friendly. Our server was great at telling us about items on the menu when we said we hadnt been there before. I loved that they had platters on their menu where you could try a little bit of everything. A good place if youre hungry or want to split a meal with someone. The portions are large and a good price. Also, the sauce and smoke on each meat is a little different, so its not too much of anything.

One does not cube smoked brisket and toss it in sauce! I dont know what to call it, but it wasnt barbeque. Ribs were OK, but not worth going out of your way for. Ambiece was kinda Texas Smoke House vibe, which made the brisket abuse sadder still. Parking: Strip mall location. Wheelchair accessibility: There did not appear to be any access issues in this ground floor, strip mall location. The washroom facilities were small - motorized chairs would certainly not fit in the space available.

My father was was gifted two 25.00 gift certificates. He went in to pick up his order and wanted to use one entire gift card and half of the other. The staff member said he was unable to do that. Either the gift cards had to equal the exact amount, or he could use the second gift card but they d keep the remainder. My dad asked to speak with the manager, who gave him attitude and said he couldn t do that. You should tell your staff to advise your customers they have to get the exact amount for gift certificates, otherwise the restaurant will steal the rest of the funds. I ve been in the restaurant industry for 10 years plus and have never heard of such practice.

Was in area and decided to just stop in and order and I m so happy I did! Got the fantasy burger with pig skins and MMMM MMMMM MMMMMM!!!! Fries were perfectly crispy and not overly salted, burger was cooked to perfection , pulled pork wasn t drenched in sauce, potato skins were so crispy. And I have never liked coleslaw but my husband got me to try it and I went back in to order a large because it was so freaking good ! This place should be on the Canada s version of you gotta eat here because it deserves that! The guys were also great. The chef , obviously deserves recognition but the guy behind the counter cashing me out ( unfortunately I didn t get his name but he has blue eyes and slim build ) super nice but not that annoying customer service friendly just genuine and made my visit comfortable. I m definitely returning for more. Kid-friendliness: Staff isn t wearing scantily clad clothing ( mind you when I went it was guys ) lol but no crop tops or butt showing shorts were worn.

We had Big Bone BBQ cater our wedding and they did a fantastic job. Many of our guests commented on how good the food was, and the service was extremely friendly. They also left the event space clean and as they found it, and packaged up the leftovers for us. Great job!

I was so excited to eat that I forgot to take a pic. The Caesar salad was great the ribs were great the sides were great! Everything you love about rib fest with less chaos . I think its better value than rib fest as there were many sides were included.

Came here on the Labour Day weekend with my husband and daughter and it was fantastic. First off the service was spectacular. There are some people that just know how to treat a customer!! The food.. we had rib dinner, pulled pork sandwich and the Fantasy burger. It was fantastic and excellent value. My daughter devoured her PP Sandwich and said it was the best shes had. Definitely will be our go-to restaurant when in the area. I also look forward to trying the other location in Whitby. The only thing I would give a negative comment on are the chairs. The seat is quite small and the design doesnt make it comfortable for a curvy lady like myself.

I had heard of Big Bone and since I was out Ottawa way, I had to try them out. Really good bbq. The wings and pork ribs were wonderfully smoked, nicely seasoned and not over- sauced. I had to try the brisket as well, beautifully tender and smokey. Now I am not a fan of sauce on brisket, but the sauce they used is a perfect blend of sweet and vinegar. Cornbread was good as was Cole slaw, and I even enjoyed the beans Excellent bbq. Highly recommend.

Their poutines are fantastic. The service and staff are excellent. They are always cheerful. The music in the restaurant does tend to be too loud though.

Very substandard. Pulled pork had little sauce, beef brisket was stewing beef in a bun with very little sauce and very tough. Coleslaw was mediocre at best. The fries were from Costco and the beans are Bushs canned beans put in small containers. To top it off, the order was missing a few items that doesnt do much when you get home to realize this error. Very dissapointed.

★★★
December 22, 2022

All of the main meats that I had were good loved the fried wings loved the ribs loved the pulled pork. The sides however were not bad they were just flavorless. The cornbread had zero flavor and just tasted like eating a new sponge. The baked beans had a smidge of flavor but just barely and left you sad. The coleslaw was okay but overall just basically running and mildly flavorful. If someone from the restaurant reads this hit me up I can give you a recipe for some bomb cornbread that actually has flavor

December 22, 2022

Really upset after receiving my order tonight. With being new to the area, it was exciting to see that there is a Big Bone so close to us. My food was the farthest thing from what I was looking forward to. I always enjoy the pulled pork sandwich. Mine had little sauce, was extremely dry and my fries were soggy. My boyfriends smoked chicken wings were also dry, cold and almost no sauce at all. Again, fries were soggy. I would prefer to drive the 4 1/2 hours back to my hometown to eat Big Bone again in the future smh

Very bad experience. Picked up 1 full beef rack and 1 lb smoked wings around 5.30 pm .It was ready right away. When I opened the box , the food was cold ( I drove and live 5 minutes away). It was extremely dry with almost no sauce at all !! Terrible !! We couldnt finish the food because it was cold and dry. Did I mention, they charge me $ 56.50 for ONLY 1 Full Rack beef ribs and 1 lb wings !! No fries or nothing on the side. Anyways, pure waste of money!! l gave them tips as well , thought the food would be good. But no, thats it. Probably it was cooked way before, they just microwave or heat it up I dont know. But this place used to be good , a year ago, not sure what happened in between.

December 22, 2022

Did take out and they forgot all the sauces for their wings. That happens it was how terribly they handled it after 0 customer service skills. Wings over cooked and dry the sauce would have made them edible.

Its just meh second time weve ordered. Poutine gravy is tasty, sad thing is they make their poutine with frozen McCain fries. Fries were a soggy mess, had a brisket sandwich, found the brisket fatty (which I expect) but found lumps of fat, size of a marble. Also bottom of bun on sandwich was a soggy mess, couldnt even pick the sandwich up, had to use a knife and fork. Buns look like the Delisioso buns you buy at the grocery store off the shelf. Was hoping for better.

I actually really enjoy the food at this restaurant however, after 7 delivery orders (yes 7.....like I said I really enjoy their food!) they have NEVER gotten my order right! There is always something missing! And they dont forget the napkins....they forget main components to the dishes! Im not sure why this is but every order has been delivered with missing items! I get that mistakes happen but have been super disappointed time and again! I may go to the restaurant in the future but will never order delivery from this place ever again! I even called the restaurant to let them know how often this happens but they didnt seem to care

Extremely disappointing experience. We were really excited to try a local place after finding out about this place from a friend. Ordered a Party pack + Strips + Cheese bread. When I called, the gentleman had to check if they had enough cheesy bread and chicken strips....which was a bit baffling, considering what we received for these dishes. Their chubby cheesy garlic bread, were pre-made hamburger bun halves, with garlic spread and shredded cheese on it. Complete waste of money and we couldnt believe thats what was served as a dish for $10.75. Same thing with their chicken strips; for $15 we received essentially what looked like frozen/fried chicken strips with hot sauce. They werent even properly covered with the sauce and were very dry. Ribs were a bit on the dry side but decent and same with the smoked jerk wings. The battered wings were more on the soggy side with little flavour. On top of all this, the gravy x 2 that was forgotten and not included in the order. Considering the restaurant was empty when the food was picked up..two hours before they close; theres no reason for missing food items. The food is absolutely not worth the price they charge for it; unfortunately unless they improve their qualify significantly, I cant in good conscious recommend this place to anyone.

Ate here today for Fathers Day, had a mixed platter. Everything was really good. Ribs are tasty, Wings we re good, Pulled Pork and Brisket, as well as most of the sides. Took a star off as the Corn Bread was cold, think the loaves are all pre-baked and stored in fridge. Never heard or experienced Corn Bread being served cold like that (very cold). Asked the guy there and he said that s how they serve it.

I ordered wings and poutine for pick up. Upon arriving home, I found a container of fries and a container with the wings. I called and the guy told me to return to get the poutine for free. Once I arrived, he gave me the poutine but didnt issue a refund. Nick came to explain that I am receiving what I paid for. The only way they would issue a refund would mean them taking the food. They said that I am receiving extra fries and this is sufficient compensation for their mistakes. Will not be returning.

December 22, 2022

We ordered through Uber Eats and we are within 10 minute radius of this place. We ordered poutines with brisket and a side of brisket. One of the poutines didn t show so I called to let them know, and they just said to request the refund. Also, the poutine was soggy and the sauce was gelatinous. I m not sure how that can happen within 10 minutes of ordering. The brisket was not fresh and quite hard to chew and I didn t really taste the bbq flavour. I honestly can t imagine how anyone could give this place 4-5 stars. Maybe they do a better job in the restaurant, but I won t find out as I will never order from them again.

We recently had Big Bone cater our wedding and they were a HUGE hit! Nearly every guest that we had came up to us to tell us how much they enjoyed the meal. Manny was very easy to communicate with both leading up to the wedding and on the day of, and his team were extremely professional and polite. They served appetizers followed by a buffet style meal, and then came back several hours later to set up the late night snack (which we were not expecting! We were under the impression that this would just be set up right after the dinner!). They were also easily able to accommodate for some of our guests who had severe allergies. And another bonus was that they didnt charge us an arm and a leg for the meal like a lot of other caterers were trying to. The pricing was fair and well within our budget and allowed us not to break the bank. I would HIGHLY recommend going with Big Bone if you have an event that needs catering!

Great guys providing great service (5stars). I have been to basically all the BBQ joints in Ottawa, this one had some amazing meats. The fries were bomb too. The other sides were a bit lackluster and could be improved (coleslaw & cornbread) (4/5). The atmosphere, well, its a quaint little BBQ joint in a Kanata strip mall, so for what it is, 5 stars. However, as far as atmosphere goes compared to other joints in the city, its a basic (not bad) 3/5.

Super disappointed. The food here is GREAT. I stumbled upon this restaurant over 2 years ago, Ive told so many people about them, I used to order from them for pickup once a week every week, their smoked wings are my favorite. However....the staff have obviously changed somewhat over the past 8 months and they cant seem to get a side right anymore. I work in a VERY busy restaurant, I get it, sometimes mistakes happen, but theyre literally on the phone writing my order while Im giving it and saying it back to me to confirm they heard correctly. How does it go from all good to being completely changed in 15 mins?! To make matters worse the only thing they ever offer when you call them after returning home to find the wrong meal is a you can drive back to get the right order we messed up ...drive back on my dime, for your mistake while the rest of my order that was correct gets cold and/or soggy.... I suggest you unpack and check your order right there at the front before you even pay them if youre ordering to go. Im so over the shotty customer service Ill never go back.

Have been to Big Bone a few times and its always a pretty great value for the money. The meats and sides are all good and you get generous portions of some pretty delicious BBQ. The smoked wings are also a really nice change from the norm that you cant really get anywhere else. If I had a complaint I would say that they tend to under-sauce some of the meat, but thats easily remedied by just asking for some extra sauce on your food (and this is even a contentious topic with BBQ places as some do this deliberately so you taste the smoke of the meat more).
