Got a bbq plate on Saturday afternoon and was quite disappointed. The pulled pork tasted left over and the brisket was stringy like pulled beef not a nice juicy slice. I also found the flavor to be very bland. The bbq sauce and beans were good but overall not impressed. Had high hopes as they list GF items which is important for our family but must have got them on a bad day as it wasn't anything like some of the positive reviews. Meat also came in ziploc bags for take out which was a little off putting.

The smell in this place was incredible!!! It smelt like a Smokehouse down in the Southern states. The choices are good, not over whelming. I had the ribs and brisket. Both had a great flavour with just amount of spice, unfortunately the meat was on the dry side. The 3 great sauces at the table were needed for the meat. I will definitely come back again. The portion sizes were just enough to fill you up and have you leave satisfied.

Absolutely delicious! Very good food, the service was phenomenal, felt very welcome in there. The sweet sauce is very good, and I would recommend it. The guy seems like a great boss, a very friendly person.

Food was really good! Had the brisket and pulled pork plate with baked potato and cornbread. Meat was nicely smoked and really tender. A bit dry but not anything serious. Sauces were awesome and cornbread was moist. We were talking and we do wish they had fries on their menu but that's ok. Would go back for sure

Bruce slow barbeques his meat over wood over night and places it in a warmer during the day. It was tasty. Serving portions are very generous. He even has a drawer of special treats for young children to choose from. Since a liquor store is next door most drinks are available.

Checked this place out after driving by and being a BBQ guy I couldn’t say no. I ordered a few things, Brisket being the main. I give 2 stars for the following reasons: 1) Service is very fast and friendly! It’s like a BBQ Fast Food Restaurant 2) The House BBQ Sauce is pretty good Here is where it lost 3 stars: The food was DRY. 3 of the ribs I got (mind you the end pieces) were uneatable, they were so dry and hard I thought I was going to break a tooth. The brisket was served shredded not sliced, and I suspect that is because it too was VERY DRY. Both meats lacked any smoke flavour or seasoning. I covered the food in the BBQ sauce and it was better. Maybe it was an off day because there are a lot of good reviews. I would try it again in the future.

Wednesday potatoes are 15% off. THIS WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION EVER AND the flavour was incredible. I didn’t cringe at the price. EXTREMELY FAIR PRICES! Coleslaw was on point! Which was an amazing surprise. YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE! 25 ⭐️ out of 5 ⭐️

Did a dine-in supper. I had the pulled pork sandwich (gluten free) and it was tasty and filling. The place saw a steady stream of customers for pick-up and eat in but it was still quiet. Service was quick. Parking: They are located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking available.

I just watched this girl take 20 orders and serve every table at the place with a big smile on her face. Nobody waited for food more than 5 minutes. Everything was great and every order was right! I m so impressed with her work and service. Big ups to her! I wish I asked her name. She s a rockstar.

I ve eaten here a couple times, and had different mains and sides. I really want to like this place but I m afraid it just doesn t really make the grade. Pork, brisket, and turkey are all really dry and tough. Even as a fairly amateur home BBQ cook myself, I can instantly tell you they re cooking too hot, too long, or both. Smoke flavour and smell are basically non-existent, so I wouldn t be surprised if they re just cooking in an electric oven or something. And I get that they re going to cook everything ahead and serve it out through the day - that s how BBQ works - but you have to baste or something to keep that meat from drying out. Sauces are ok, but nothing a home cook couldn t surpass with basically any recipe they quickly google. The beans basically just taste like tomato paste. And I m not saying this is really what it is, but the corn bread basically just tastes like a yellow box cake. Man do I wish this place was good, but it just isn t. They re mostly coasting on a bunch of Americana nailed to the walls and country music over the speakers, if you re into that kind of thing.

★★★★★

I ve eaten here five times (Yes, 5 times ) in the last nine days! That s how good the Smoked BBQ is. Enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and prompt service. Recommend everyone try the brisket, ribs or pulled pork, you can t go wrong. Will be dining there a lot more in the coming months.

A fantastic restaurant that is simple but the food speaks volume. I tried the triple slider which included the chicken, pork,and beef. Each type of meat was deliciously seasoned, not super salty and the meat was not dry. The smokiness of the meats were on point. Also the fattiness of the meat was well-balanced. My friends and I enjoyed the meal. The meal comes with a choice of a side and the fixings that came with it or just enough. The portions that you received for the amount that you paid is a good ratio. Recommend this restaurant to try something new will definitely be going back soon. Dietary restrictions: Has gf options

December 23, 2023

It was our first time, I was craving beef, my daughter and I order a pulled potatoe with brisket, we werent too hungry and it was a good decision because it was huge and it was delicious. I wouldve give it 5 stars if it was hot enough, we had to eat it fast because it was almost cold and the delicious super cold coleslaw on top didnt help. Seems like they have most items already cooked and they warm them up before serving, thats why maybe they are so fast serving your order. So, we are definitely going back, we want to try all the other options on the menu, but will make sure to ask them to warm it up way more, I dont mind waiting longer as long as my food is hot, nothing worse than eating cold meat. Oh, and they are super nice! I totally recommend it! Parking: Easy to park Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant

The service was amazing, it was really clean, the atmosphere 10/10, my only issue was with the brisket and the sweet tea for the same reason, both were a little old tasting. Their brisket was dry, and need copious amounts of their bbq sauce (which was amazing), and their iced sweet tea was a bit warm. All in all we had a great experience and cannot wait to try this place again

Unfortunate experience. My biggest complaint was how dry the food was - brisket, ribs, and pulled pork - all had to be drowned in mediocre BBQ sauce to combat how dry everything was. The best thing on my platter was the pickle and the ruffle chips.

Yesterday I had a Turkey Sandwich that was delicious! I had it on the best Gluten-free bun I ve ever tasted! The bun was soft and didn t fall apart. The turkey was so moist that it did fall apart!

We came in at 5pm. We were the only ones there. We had 2 orders. One: one meat (beef) 2 sides Two: beef on a bun with sides Neither one worth the money. Mine was the beef with 2 sides. I chose mash and baked to make sure I handled a potato craving. Mashed was not hot, gummy and lumpy (lumpy not bad but cold, lumpy is awful). Beef was dry, hard and even with sauce not appetizing. Majority of my plate was left. Other diner was as unimpressed. We thought maybe it was the end of the day and we got the left overs but upon looking it says it was open until 8pm. 2 stars as it was fast and maybe it was an off day?

We got the large platter. Food was good with the exception of the cornbread tasted dry and kind of stale. Also when packing up my order the server asked if I wanted BBQ sauce, and I said no thinking she meant extra not realizing there was none in the bag. Wouldnt everyone want bbq sauce from this kind of place? My bad for assuming I guess, had to go with the bullseye. Pretty sure the last time it was in the bag without me having to be asked. Anyways we definitely werent hungry afterwards!

Pulled potato with pork was incredible. The bark pieces, could really get the smoke flavour, but the rest of the meat had a mild smokiness, which I prefer. Potato was baked to perfection, pickles nice and crisp, with a good vinegar bite. Slaw was really good too, I like mine a bit more creamy, but definitely not complaining about it here. The HOT bbq sauce gave it just the right kick to it. Spicy, but very flavorful.

The best part of the meal was the cornbread. The beans were undercooked as was the baked potato. The ribs were over cooked and dry. Their story on the menu claims to have a seasoned rub on the ribs but I did not taste any seasoning at all. The baked potatoes also wasn t seasoned. Why is salt and pepper such a hard concept in a restaurant these days. The slaw tasted as if was from a bag with a dressing from a grocery store aisle. Their bbq sauces were nothing special, tasted like they came from the aisle next to the slaw dressing. If you re looking to have a great rib experience, this is not the place.

The food was excellent and the owner is very friendly. I am not really a rib eater typically, however my husband and I opted to share the 3 meat platter and chose ribs and pulled pork. I enjoyed the ribs too, they werent fatty and they were tender. The sauces are unique, and the cornbread is delicious. We will definitely be returning!

The restaurant is a fast casual type place with a few options for meats. (Pork, Brisket, Turkey, Ribs) The meat is pretty good I didn t really get too much of the smoked taste from the pulled pork. They have 3 choices for sauces they are all really good and have a strong Smokey flavour. The coleslaw was runny and watery. I didn t really care for it I much prefer creamy and tangy. Overall it s pretty average and makes a good work lunch out.

Was excited to try this place based on the reviews, but was thoroughly disappointed. Ordered take out and received a mix of pulled pork, brisket, ribs, beans, corn bread and coleslaw. The coleslaw and beans were okay. The cornbread was cold and didnt appear to be freshly made. All of the three meats were packed in plastic sandwich bags (!!) upon opening the box. Dont know why they arent using tinfoil. The pulled pork was good with some sauce added to it. The brisket was clearly old and had been sitting under heat lamps as it was dried out and crumbled at touching it. The smoke ring was non existent in most spots and the exterior was burnt (not the exterior bark that you look for) and actually tasted like ash. Closest thing I could compare it to was cigarettes. The ribs were also dried out and fairly cold, they also had obviously been sitting under heat lamps for a while. We ate some of it and ended throwing the majority in the trash. Ive made my own brisket, ribs and pulled pork, and have had that made by friends around town and I would suggest just cooking at home, its better than this place was. Ive been through all the bbq regions in the southern US and have sampled what excellent bbq tastes like. This isnt it. I hope this place improves, but until it does I wont be coming back.

Went for lunch to That Bar B Q place. Ordered two meat platter, it had pulled pork and pulled beef brisket. The presentation and service is amazing. Place was clean and comfortable. But found both the meats too dry, had to add a lot of hot Bar B Q sauce to make it little juicier. Will recommend for a casual lunch or dinner but not for special occasions, might not go again myself.

I remember liking this place before*, so it was really disappointing when the food was not up par. The brisket was awful - dry and stringy(not sliced) with no choice for point, unless you like to drown your meat in sauce. The pork side ribs were decently moist, not bad. *Had this place cater an event 5 years ago, so I must have liked it at some point

you NEED to eat here if you havent already. if you have, heres a friendly reminder to pay them another visit. That Bar-B-Q sets the bar in Sherwood Park for consistency in food quality, as well as customer service. usually your favourite place may lose its touch. you have a bad experience with a poorly prepared meal, or you catch the person at the till in a bad mood and all of a sudden its no longer your favourite. guaranteed That Bar-B-Q place will never let you down. its also worth mentioning their menu is very fairly priced, and the wait times for service or non-existent. very efficient, very convenient, and always the same. enjoy!

Good quality and quantity for the price! I had the pulled pork and found it a bit dry, so I wish they used more bbq sauce preparing it. Though theres big bottles of bbq sauce at each table to compensate. We ordered about an hour and a half before closing to stay, and about half an hour before closing the staff were full steam into cleaning up and shutting the place down, which made us feel like we should leave ASAP :/ I wasnt a big fan of that

Outstanding food; almost everything (e.g. meats, mashed potatoes, and pit beans) tastes like it was made from scratch. Found the smoke ring on some pulled pork. Our first visit, we ordered a big platter for takeout, and the person who answered said that it could be ready in five minutes, which was too fast, as we needed to drive in from northeast Edmonton... We two enjoyed sampling the ribs and some brisket, had a food coma afterwards, and had another three to four single meals, supplemented by more starches, left over for lunch and supper the next day.

Ive been coming to That Bar-B-Q Place with my family since hearing about it not long after it opened. Ive travelled to Georgia a number of times on business and fell in love with southern BBQ, and this is the only BBQ restaurant that Ive found in the greater Edmonton area that comes anywhere close to what you can find in the southern US. Ive tried all of the meats that Bruce (owner & pitmaster) has to offer, and the brisket & turkey are my absolute favourites. The brisket is moist and tender, and the turkey has an amazing smoky flavour. I love that he has turkey as most other BBQ joints serve chicken instead. The brisket pairs nicely with their house sauce, and I enjoy the turkey with the sweet sauce. Their pulled potato dish is enormous (potato, choice of meat & side) and includes a delicious sauce, cheese, pickles and potato chips (Im a big guy and this fills me up). I have a few secrets when it comes to ordering this dish, but I dont want to give them out here as it puts this dish just over-the-top, but you might be able to figure it out based on the picture Ive uploaded. our children love the baked beans and cornbread. The coleslaw is very flavourful. Bruce and his staff are extremely friendly, helpful and professional and want you to enjoy your meal. Our children love going for BBQ and seeing Bruce as he treats them as if they were his own. Everyone that Ive recommended That Bar-B-Q Place to that has tried it out has greatly enjoyed it. They also offer catering for groups. What more do I need to say, go check it out for yourself and get your Q on!

I got ribs and turkey. Ribs smelt horrible for some reason. The turkey was dry and had no flavor. The smell of the ribs ruined the whole meal. Seemed like my food was prepared days before I even got there. Not very sanitary either.

We ordered for take out. Portions were small for the price you pay. My brisket was good - husband and son found theirs very dry. Ribs were good but not best quality cut. I love love corn bread and was excited to try theirs. I found it very dry. You need a lot of butter. Baked beans were good, coleslaw was not so great, baked potato was huge and baked nicely wish it came with more toppings. Only came with sour cream. So I would say everything was just ok..

I don t like giving bad reviews to small restaurants but this was just terrible, the prices were too expensive for what little you got in return. The only good thing was the lays chips that they called fry s. I do not recommend

I walked in and was some what second guessing it. It looked a little like a fast food joint trying too hard to be an authentic BBQ place. But wow! Food was amazing!! Both my partner and I were very pleasantly surprised. Perfect portion size (were quite full after)... we both tried sandwiches... I had the turkey and he had the pulled pork. Delicious! Cant wait to go back and best part is its local. Met the owner, who also served us and he was so kind and friendly. Said hes been doing this as a hobby for about 30 years and decided to turn it into a business. Well sir... thank you for sharing your gift! We are happy to have come across your small business and to have the privilege of supporting you! Keep up the awesome work!

It was a complete random visit to this place. I literally googled restaurants near me and this popped up. My gf and I had zero expectations. To our surprise it was a hearty, home made style meal in a quaint condo strip mall. Had a country theme to it, tables were not the cleanest but no where near dirty. Bathrooms were clean as well. The food was all prepped and bought local. Price point was fair value for what you recieved and the owner was very pleasent and warm to customers. It served its purpose and more. They even served alcohol. I had a pulled pork sandwich with acider and my gf had the turkey. We were both very content with the quality of the food. Noticeable points for improvement. .. Im always an advocate for more. Chips are cheap. Dont be shy on em. Drinks were a little too sweet but subjective to the taster. My gf liked it, I not so much. Tables could have had a little more detail with the cleanliness but there was only one staff member. Country music is not everyones fav. But it does fit atmosphere. This place has a lot of potential. Great food and super friendly staff. I always try support local. I have high hopes for this place in the upcomming years to see where it goes. Thank you Will return Will recommend
