SMOKESHOW bbq and brew

This establishment is truly amazing! I have been coming here for years! From the Food to the Service to the Atmosphere! The food is always fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is ALWAYS inviting and decorated to the season. The owner of the restaurant, John, is a man of integrity and hosts a Customer Appreciation Event during the Christmas season absolutely free to his loyal customers! He prepares a buffet of hand selected impeccable menu items, has a DJ spinning tunes into the wee hours of the night and provides free gift giveaways to all! I don't know many owners of restaurants that give back to their customers the way this establishment does. The bar service is excellent and always fully stocked! If you are looking for a restaurant that offers excellent food, drink and nightly entertainment, look no farther than this place. If you are a lover of Latin dancing like I am, then you must come out on a Tuesday night, enjoy a great meal, a drink and dance the night away! I would give this place 10 stars if I could!! Thank you SMOKESHOW!! Eleonora

The owners here are so generous and the service is great. The food is reasonably priced for the complex meats they serve. You can tell there is care out into the preparation. If you're looking for live music in the neighborhood, this is the place to be. All in all, a very positive experience.

This was one of the best times I have had at any restaurant. The chicken sandwich was amazing, and the live band greatly added to the atmosphere of the dinner. My waitress helped me recommend items throughout the menu and was extremely helpful. I highly recommend it!

We recently dined at Smokeshow BBQ and Brew and had a mixed experience. Starting with the positives, the atmosphere was fantastic—Welcoming, comfort ,cozy, and inviting, with lighting that set just the right mood for a relaxed evening. The music was also a great touch, adding to the overall ambiance and making the place feel lively without being too loud. The service was excellent as well; the staff was attentive, friendly, and seemed genuinely invested in making sure we enjoyed our meal. Now, on to the food. The fries were solid—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. The baked beans were a standout; they had a rich, smoky flavor that complemented the rest of the meal nicely. Unfortunately, that’s where the highlights ended. I was disappointed by the ribs and brisket, especially considering the high price. The ribs were tough and dry, lacking the tender, juicy texture that makes ribs memorable. The brisket was also a bit tough, which was surprising given how important tenderness is in barbecue. It just didn’t live up to the quality I’d expect at this price point. In the end, while I loved the atmosphere, music, and service at Smokeshow BBQ and Brew, the food left something to be desired, especially considering the cost. I would come back for drinks,sides, and the music, but I’d think twice before ordering the mains again.

I don't recommend this place to anyone. The service was very bad. The waitress was rude and aggressive. We waited forever to order, and both glasses were dirty with someone's lipstick. I asked for a glass of water and never received it. I will never go there again. The worst service I've ever had.

July 20, 2024 at 8:30pm - met with friends at this local pub because we heard they had a live band. This place did not disappoint! First, they had a Summerlicious dinner menu for only $35. I ordered the Organic Beet Salad, Grilled Salmon and Sticky Toffee Pudding….DELICIOUS on all 3 dishes! Hubby ordered the Crispy Calamari, Grilled Angus Striploin and Warm Churros. Absolutely tasty! I don’t know who the chef is at this place but will have to come back to try other dishes. The beet salad was well dressed, and the combination of strawberries and beets was savoury, topped with a sprinkling of goat cheese was mouthwatering. Would have eaten another bowl! I can go on and on about every dish, but you’d get bored. The photos don’t so it justice since the live band was playing at the time so lights were dimmed. Can I tell you now about the live retro 80’s band??!! The ultimate reason to come on retro Saturdays. Oh my gosh!! Had me eating and dancing at the same time. Classic 80’s tunes that everyone in the bar was singing along with. Overall an AMAZING evening of laughs, tunes, drinks and dancing. What more can you ask for?! Will DEFINITELY be going back and bringing more friends 😊

Ordered pick up through Ritual, sub total was 143.00, decided to give a generous 15% tip so they do a good job with my order. When time is up and Ritual says my order is ready, I go there only to find out they didnt see the Ritual order and they said they are just making it now and to come back in half-hour. When I return, they give me my food and tell me they ran out of mashed potatoes so they gave me fries instead. It wouldve been nice if they would give me options to pick another side. Id rather get something else instead of fries...i already got sweet potato fries. When i got home to eat, the regular fries they substituted tasted old and cold. No salt, just a waste. The sweet potato fries were decent, the mac and cheese was nothing special, ive had better. The eggplant was for the wifey but because i got the food so late, she didnt eat it because she doesnt like to eat too late, going to save it for tomorrow. The chicken quesadilla was not really good, my daughter says taco bell is better. The platter which is over $100 is not worth it. The brisket had no flavor, and doesnt taste like its been smoked, no rub, very dry. Not real bbq. The ribs taste like something you get from the hot food section from a metro. Sausages were nothing special, no real flavor just like the wings...and the wings were very small too, barely any meat or flavour on them. The pulled pork was mid and probably the best thing on the platter. I requested cutlery and didnt get any. Not a place to get any good food. After some time of my review being here, no reply from owner or management, goes to show what this place is. Go to Carbon Bar for real bbq.

Good food (a bit experience!) with outstanding service. Beautiful big patio for summer. Always good live music, great DJ and excellent dance floor. Feel welcome everytime I go there, friendly staff and a great owner. Wonderful people and good vibes.
