That sandwich was LOADED with brisket and beans, and almost too many fries. The different sauces are also a must-try at this place.

We LOVE smoked meat & this place did not disappoint!! We started with the CANDIED BACON, warning, do not try if you have a food addiction; it was unbelievably good! We shared the Barnyard Platter which consisted of chicken, pulled pork & brisket all smoked for a hours to perfection, slaw & we added cornbread muffins. Dessert was the Black Cherry Bourbon Cheesecake which was the perfect end to our feast. It is licensed so we were able to have our fave alcoholic beverage with our meal. Our server gal genuinely loved the food & was happy to share her faves with us. The ambiance was rustic & quaint, not too big, just right! We will be back!!

The brisket melted in your mouth, the beans we're not overpowering sweet like most places so I definitely enjoyed them, the candy bacon is mouth watering! The service is phenomenal, don't feel shy to ask questions, the server is the friendliest person ever and will share everything she knows about what to visit if you're a tourist or what to try on the menu! Definitely coming back to this place whenever we travel to the Okanagan again!

I want to be fair. The man who greeted us was great. The 1 sausage was good. Sauce good. Salad good. Brisket was dry and the chicken was ok.But when you pay $34 for a platter and $20 for a large salad you should get more than this. So they served me no better than fast food. Only 2 items with a total cost of$ 65.21? Nope never again. Its places like this is the reason people dont go out like they used to.

I’m surprised this place has high ratings… maybe we came to the time where chef was new or something was off. Whatever is ordered was “warmed up” or “microwaved” there was nothing fresh, and the food looked like that as well. I would prefer Joey’s ribs to what’s provided here. Chicken smelled like chicken without a sauce I don’t think you can even eat it. Chilli seemed like from the can, beef brisket was so thin you can see the other side. Service was great - staff was friendly, constantly checking but the quality of the food, how warm it’s delivered were all a failure (see how the plate looks like - does it look appealing?). Hope this was a fluke and not always the same.

Best ribs I've ever had, smoked 7+ hours and absolutely fall off the bone tender! They're also so generous with the portion size of the ribs & sides!

The smoked chicken wings are out of this world. Their homemade sauces are all excellent. A tad disappointed with the brisket which came a bit dry to my taste. The other meats were good, we really enjoyed their ribs. The best surprise was their maple syrup creme brulee which was an absolute delight. The service was perfect.

Visitor to Vernon and had to try this “must try place”…and was not disappointed! Had the to die for candy bacon…YUM! The cut was thick, fried to perfection, and just the right amount of sweetness. So many great choices, but in the end I settled for the half rack St Louise pork ribs and gumbo. Wow! A party happening in my mouth and I loved it! So flavourful! Tried all their dipping sauces and my favourite was the Afterburner that gave just the right amount of savoury and hot-kick! Finished the meal off with their in-house cheesecake. YUM YUM YUM!

We waited over an hour to receive our food. It was all brought out at the same time, along with the appetizers. The server came by only to take our orders and deliver them, but did not once fill up drinks or check in. We had to call her over to inquire about dessert options and we just asked for the bill once we received the dessert, which took over 30 minutes to arrive one cheesecake and two crème brûlées. The brisket the rest of the food were pretty good, but the wait times/quality of service were disappointing.

Had the special, pulled pork sandwich with fries and drink. Sandwich was ok, but small. Fries were excellent. Service was excellent, very friendly and helpful. Think Id try something else if theres a next time, but need larger portions.

We were disappointed in our first experience with the food and price. I initially saw a menu online that said the brisket sammich was $17. I ordered takeout and the price of the sandwich was $20. The second one was with a gluten free bun and it was $23.00. The meat was nothing special. It was not as juicy as we would have expected and not much meat. When I got home I found that they had not included the sides of sauces. $45.15 for two buns with 4 slices of small meat and a bit of coleslaw on a bun is alot of money. I can buy a huge pirtof brisket for that which I will do from now on. Double check the prices and that you have all your items before you leave.

I really wanted to love the food here, was ok. Had the manwich brisket, andooi sausage with grill bread. Brisket appeared to come from a heating drawer , sausage could have been more flavorful for me, grill bread not the best pick. There sauces did help in flavor dept. Dining partner did like the ribs. So ribs it is if we come back.

Our first visit to Station BBQ since the new ownership occurred. Sorry folks this was a complete disappointment experiencing the diminished quality. Meal 1: Smoked brisket was over smoked, dry and cold when served.The returned meal was also served barely warm. Meal 2; Smoked chicken, dry and barley warm. Also returned and replaced with equally warm chicken that was dry. Meal 3; Gumbo served with no Okra and no andoillie sausage. Meal 4: same disapointing Gumbo and candied bacon that was not crisp and still dripped with grease. Meals no longer include sides as before yet prices do not reflect the change. Service; we were seated without menus which after 10 minutes was dealt with by our guest getting menus for our table. After 15 minutes our drink order was taken and they did not appear for an additional 15 minutes. Dirty tabled remained unserviced until new patrons arrived, at which time they were seated and tables cleared in front of them. The restaurant was not busy, that should have been a warning sign. Station BBQ was the best of 3 smokehouse restaurants to have opened in a short span of each other and for now is the last remaining smokehouse. Im confident we will not return and will warn fellow foodies of our experience. Sorry guys, you should have found a pancake restaurant to buy, youre out of you league.

On a recent trip to Vernon, I was craving ribs and came across this place via a quick google search. My partner and I obviously had to try this place and I am glad we did. Its definitely casual dining but we didnt care because we came for the food. The ribs, smoked wings, and brunswick stew were our favourites! And the maple creme brulee which was their only dessert. My partner who is french, even went as far to say it was one of the best he has ever had! Our server was super attentive and shared with us that creme brulee ended up on the menu because its her and her husbands favourite dessert to have on their travels!

We traveled to this restaurant over the years and it was always great! We brought friends with us who made the trek. We went for lunch yesterday. What a disappointment. I ordered pulled pork. My husband ordered fries to go with his meal. We were in at Noon sharp and the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered their Southern Style Iced Tea. Nope...it wasnt made yet....I had Lemonade. It not good at all. My pulled pork was lukewarm warm and dry, dry, dry as it could be. The cereal biscuit with bacon tasted Ike it came out of a $ Dollar Store box. My pulled pork was suppose to come on top of my pulled pork. There was about 2 tbsp of greens that were tasteless. The French fries if you could call them that tasted like they were fried in overused old cooking oil. We wont ever travel to Vernon and go there again! We would have had better, fresher food if wed gone to Mr. MIKES! ,,

When you pay 34 for a sandwich plate of meat with maybe a couple spoons of coleslaw underneath no other sides. It s pretty sad. The food was flavored, but that s all I can say we ordered french fries. They were old dried out and on the bottom was full of crumbs from the bottom of the bowl, and it must ve been at least a good half a cup full of crumbs absolutely deplorable will not be back. I will stay home and spend my money at home and cook a good meal where I can enjoy going out with a nice treat, but unfortunately it wasn t. Don t waste your time or your money .

July 23, 2024

The food was absolutely horrendous and completely over priced the service was okay the lady was super nice and respectful but I would never go back and highly suggest you don t go aswell my girlfriend and I went and got two meals and two spiked lemonades and the bill came out too 85$ which is absolutely crazy for the amount and quality of food we got I found a hair in my coleslaw and the coleslaw itself was so warm from sitting under the brisket I can say that this is the worst bbq food I ve ever had and I won t ever be going back and I will be telling everyone it s the worst place in town and not to go they definitely need to revamp there whole menu and how it s priced and made

Food was good. Brisket was a little dry but amazingly smokey, chicken was falling apart was so good, coleslaw dressing was a little too much vinegar. Candied bacon was crunchy, sweet, salty. 100% recommend the candied bacon. New owner was there but he seemed a little out of place. Would be better if staff wore a uniform or some indication they worked there, difficult to determine who worked there. A tshirt with the restaurant name as a basic uniform would be a good choice. The one person busted her butt working, friendly, quick and was helpful with the menu.

Weve been going here since they opened. This place is incredible. Having a bad day? Perfect comfort food. Having a good day? Perfect celebration food. The fries are the best in town, the ribs are the best in BC, bacon candy is addictive, cornbread is perfection, sauces are so freaking good, pulled pork is mouthwateringly good, and I could go on and on. Oh and make sure you order a lemonade to drink! On top of having spectacular food, their customer service is unbeatable. They genuinely care about their customers and their customers experience. We have always been treated so well! Additionally: - Private events here are awesome, they give a lot of creative freedom with the setup for whatever youre doing. - Even their takeout is great! They wrap it well so it stays hot and fresh. We love this place. Its the best thing to ever have happened to that old train station. Parking: There is street parking and also a lot across from the shop. Kid-friendliness: They are so great with kids! Theyve got booster chairs, easy access to a sink, and the people who work there treat our kids well.

Walk in, and you are engulfed in the heat aroma of smoked meats and other dishes. You will not be disappointed. If you love smoked meat or beans or cornbread (not smoked, just cornbread), then you should manufacture the opportunity to visit Station BBQ. Their chili is award winning for a reason. Their gumbo is glorious. Their ribs are ridiculous. Their pulled pork is perfect. Their brisket is beautiful. Their baked beans are bodacious. And their candied bacon.... cmon, bacon! I will be returning to Vernon from Vancouver, 439km, just to get more. Kid-friendliness: Had toys to amuse 1 year olds and the staff is very welcoming and helpful.

What an unexpected surprise this was. This was such an incredible meal. We had the Full Stack of Ribs, the beans, the corn bread muffin, the Pulled Pork Sandwich and a few additional sides (we went a little overboard!). We ordered it on a week night as take away, and they couldnt have been more prompt, kind and generous - they even gave us some incredible candied bacon for free as a token of their appreciation. My husband being from the U.S., we couldnt believe that we would find such an incredible Texas style meal in the heart of the Okanagan Valley. This was my husbands birthday meal, and you all made it very special for us. Thank you!

We were SO impressed with this restaurant! Arrived in Vernon late Sunday evening and needed some dinner - Id looked this place up online ahead of time as we all love BBQ. Our waitress was the friendliest most amazing server I have ever had in a restaurant! She was so sweet with our kids and she asked us what we were doing here and what we were going to see and recommended us Kal Beach which we went to the next day and loved. The food was SO delicious, and our kids loved the free root beer refills - being from the UK we dont get Root beer or free refills so that was a bonus I thoroughly recommend eating here if you find yourself in Vernon!

Ordered over 100$ of delivery , when it came there were substitutions. Called and had a very indifferent person(Emily) tell us she made the substitutions due to being out of supply at the time , no call to ask what we wanted to substitute , no apology but did offer us coming in next week to get what we paid for. Really?!!!? Most people are disappointed when they don t get what they pay for that is the case here. The food was a 3 , the customer service was a 1 only because a no star isn t an option. Someone in this establishment should maybe teach Emily the customer side of food service, people work hard for their money and with food cost rising the least you do is guarantee value and correctness for your customers. Shame on you - this is the first time and last time you ll get my money.

Outstanding food and service. Im not a fan of smoked food but my husband loves it. We normally travel southern US where smoked food is what they are known for. This restaurant by far is the best I have ever had. Our #1 is Rudys but I have to say this could be my new favorite smoke house ever. It was so clean, service was great and every single sauce was fresh and delicious. Food was moist and fabulous.. again I dont like smoked food. I cant stop talking about it. Wish I lived in the area I would return quiet often. I would give this restaurant a 9 out 10 but definitely 5*s Amazing dinner Windsor on

Food was o-k. We had the weekly corn dog special. I just didnt love biting into a corn dog and then trying even harder to bite through sausage skin, kind of made it difficult to enjoy. It definitely lacked flavor and ease. The slaw was alright, but the lemonade wasnt very lemony. Im not sure if we will be returning.

The star of the evening was the superb maple creme brulee for dessert - perfect flavor, perfect creme texture and consistency, excellent brulee, and just all around a delight. Food came fast, nice options for everything, good drink selection, service was good. Will certainly be back.

We came here for lunch. My partner ordered the Manwhich Sammie, i ordered the Brisket Sammich. Neither came with a side. So we ordered a small fries and cup of beans. We ordered the candied bacon to start and only drank 2 draft beer and our lunch total was just shy $100. Food was good but at that lunch price we cant afford to go back. Nevermind you have to pay for parking and its not even the downtown core. And if im paying that kind of price, i expect to be stuffed but we werent cuz that was ordereding the smaller portions of everything.

Tried to place an online order. You have to pay upfront and specify your tip amount to place an order. I hate restaurants doing this! The tip should be an indication of the level of service provided. How can I tip before receiving any service? Felt if I said no tip it would affect my order. There should be an option to pay upon pickup. Decided to order from somewhere else.

We were passing through town on a warm Sunday afternoon and these guys were one of the only restaurants open. To our delight the food and staff were INCREDIBLE, our minds were blown with every bite. The host was kindly thorough and very friendly, she explained all the amazing sauces and specials for us. We shared the The Big Bad Wolf platter, candied bacon, and smoked wings. Everything was exceptionally beyond our expectations. Our lives changed that day...we CANT WAIT to come back!! Im never going through Vernon and not stopping at Station BBQ Smokehouse ever again!

If you like BBQ this is the place to go in Vernon. Located near an old Vernon CPR Station, makes for an attractive spot to have a BBQ restaurant. I did find the signage a bit difficult to spot. Perhaps they can add another banner to the wall to make it more obvious there is a restaurant here. A very welcoming atmosphere with an open Kitchen design, typical smokehouse smell was not overwhelming but let you know you were in a BBQ place. The staff were great and pleasant. the food is equally great, we thoroughly enjoyed the Moutine, I would definitely give this restaurant a try.

As a rule, I am seldom able to communicate all positives regarding my reviews, but, every rule has its exception. We wanted to order take out and enjoy it at home, just the two of us, to help us quietly but eloquently celebrate our 41rst wedding anniversary. After 41 years we are beyond all the hoopla typically associated with a wedding anniversary, but still enjoy a good meal, good wine, and especially one-another s company. We decided after much trepidation to order food from the Station BBQ Smokehouse, in Vernon. Our trepidation was in large part driven by not so great experiences at BBQ type restaurants in another province. Big prices, small portions, all hype, no meat and no flavour. WELL! Let me tell you! The Station BBQ Smokehouse has rekindled my faith in BBQ! I dined like a King and my beautiful wife dined like the Queen I aspire too treat her as. We ordered: The Brisket, St Louis Ribs, Smoked wings, Beans, Onion Rings and shared a slice of Cheese cake for desert. We received enough food to completely satiate 4 adults. And everything was beyond delicious. I am so so impressed. What a feast! Everything,..and I mean with everything, without reservation or exception was fantastic. If we were to divide the bill up between 4 adults, the amount of food received for the total expenditure was very reasonable. Remember, you re not buying fast food. This is sloooow smoked high quality cuts at its finest. No more trepidation. 5 stars +++.

One of the best experiences in dining from the service all the way to the bill! I cannot rave this place enough! Wow! I took my dad here for his birthday. From the moment we walked through the door the lady who greeted us was super friendly smiling and welcoming. There were 3 of us so we decided we would sample the menu - and I mean almost the entire menu! Before coming I had seen they had an appy platter on their menu but when we ordered it she said it hadnt been on the menu for a couple years - however she would make sure we got it anyways as she remembered exactly what it was and she would even make sure we got 3 pieces of candied bacon (cause it only used to come with 2 but there were three of us) I was tickled pink as it was one thing I had been excited to try! Oh was it ever delicious! The frickles and the bacon were mouth watering and the smoked wings were tasty! For dinner we ordered the barnyard which was a fabulous sampler of their sausage, brisket and pulled chicken and then we also ordered a half rack of the ribs and the pulled pork yorkies that were on special, for us all to share. The sausage was amazing! (Haha I had to start with that one) usually i find sausage- even smoked sausage- is pretty bland and just tastes like a sausage, but not this one great seasoning and a sticky smoke that flavoured it in a gracefully semi-sweet fashion. The ribs were next, perfectly smoked and still moist and fall off the bone full of juicy flavour (Im a very picky pork rib eater and these are some of the best Ive ever had). Then was the brisket, just one more mouth watering succulent experience! Im personally not a fan, in general, of smoked chicken but it was tastey and my cousin said it was excellent as well! The pulled pork yorkie was great the pulled pork was juicy and full of flavour and the gravy and yorkshire pudding were tasty! We also ordered a corn muffin to share, (because what is smoked BBQ without corn bread?!?!) which - like everything else up to this point - was excellent! It was fluffy, moist just sweet enough and not too crumbly! (My dad particularly commented on it as really good corn bread) In good smokehouse fashion all the smoked meats were served without sauce (other than the pulled pork with gravy) and a basket of in-house recipe sauces were awaiting you at the table with a written description of each sauce (to ensure you know what youre getting into ) I of course had to try them all! - but wait there were more! As we sat down the owner stopped by our table to say hello and tell us that he had a couple of secret sauces we could try should we be of a spicier appetite so of course I had to try those too haha. The owner was very friendly and very obviously proud of his food (as he well deserves to be). After we had dinner they offered my dad a choice of birthday desert on the house which was very nice, my dad got the Mississippi mud pie and I ordered a slice of their pecan pie. Both were amazing and we all had a little taste! My cousin loves chocolate but not sweets and she was extremely satisfied with the mud pie. My dad and I were both very partial to the pecan pie (which in my opinion is actually the best pecan pie I have ever had and I do not say this lightly lol) but the mud pie was very splendid as well! At the end of it all we were all full and satisfied and agree that this is a place we will be returning many more times. The price was more than fair for the quality of the food, the fantastic service and the entire experience! P.S. dont forget to try the lemonade (its not too sweet or too sour, its just right)
