32 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Edmonton

“Wow! Great food and great service. We had one of the platters and it was very good. Lots of variety and it was very tender and flavourful. The staff was super friendly, answered all of our questions and made some really great recommendations. Portion sizes were very big and the platter was a great size for our party size and we had a good amount of left overs. Definitely recommend this location and we will be back.“

“MEAT is a well-known spot in Edmonton, and I’ve been here several times over the years. I usually go for the beef brisket or the ribs, both solid choices. I also recommend the mac & cheese or a jumbo pickle on the side—something about their mac & cheese just hits right every time, and clearly I’m not the only one who thinks so.

I will say the ribs can be a bit hit-or-miss. There have been times they came out more crispy than expected, almost burnt, while other visits they were cooked perfectly. It really seems to depend on the day.
Overall, still a reliable place to grab barbecue, and when they’re on point, it’s great.“

“amazing food! Bao buns were so good absolutely love the two-for-one deals here, not to mention Twila the server awesome service! 5 out of 5 recommend.“

“I was looking for something not too expensive and that would fill me up and DoorDash suggested The Barbeque House. For the price and the amount of food I got from the Super Combo it was so delicious wish I ordered more. I’m definitely ordering here again. My only suggestion would be add a drink menu on DoorDash otherwise 10 out of 10. Thank you.“

“Cornerstone BBQ catered our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. The brisket, chicken, and potatoes were all delicious and our guests are still talking about the food. Matt and his team were professional, friendly, and made everything easy for us. The staff took great care of everyone and the whole experience was fantastic. We would highly recommend Cornerstone BBQ for any event.“

“IMAGINE THIS. Tasty BBQ is indeed, unscrupulously, indubitably, and definitely tasty. Who would have thought that the literary meaning of the title of this restaurant has the ability to accurately portray the descriptive nature of the food the restaurant serves to its client base. The bbq pork was definitely fire, just like literally every single bbq place in this area, they are all very good which is crazy because consistency between a non-continuous and presumably unrelated slew of restaurants is impressive in and of itself. External.“

“fabulous service and food. came at happy hour, prices were very reasonable.“

“This was a great lunch indeed !!! Wonderful flavours and spices in this chicken dish! The accompanying rice was just delicious! The accompanying spice dip was a bit too spicy hot for me but extremely flavourful! The small side of salad had a very tasty dressing that I enjoyed.
There was too much in this order for me to eat in one sitting. The owner approached me and we had a nice chat about food of course , very very nice lady! I’m excited to return and try the other offerings on her menu … this is a great place to eat. The only downside was that there were a few flys buzzing around me and my food and I just find that very annoying but I do understand it’s sometimes difficult to prevent.
And , no fault of the restaurant but other patrons blaring out loud their cel phones behind me watching “ You Tube Videos” so pitiful that these guys cannot put their phones away when dining , or at least have some common courtesy and spacial awareness. Otherwise , the main thing here is the food is wonderful ! I’ll be back for sure.“

“We had Smokehouse BBQ serve at our school fundraiser, and they were absolutely fantastic! Not only was the dinner delicious—seriously, some of the best BBQ we've had—but their team went above and beyond to make the event a success. When a couple of our other food trucks canceled last minute, they stepped up without hesitation and even went out to grab more product to ensure everyone was fed. Their professionalism, flexibility, and incredible food made a huge difference, and we’re so grateful for their support. Highly recommend them for any event!“

“Purchased some BBQ pork from this place which is a shared store with Nhon Hoa 2. Very tasty and I really appreciated that they had a small plastic bag of sauce on the side because most places just pours the sauce on top of the BBQ pork and most of it end spilling out.

Service was top notch! Very friendly and thankful for the business which is very refreshing.

Sadly, the location is annoying because of all the druggies around :(“

“I’ve been here 3 times within 1.5 month because I love the Katsu as it is always fresh and crisp. The restaurant owner was very nice and her crews also very friendly. Today I tried the chicken instead of pork and it was very delicious too. You can have 1 time refill on the salad and soup that is so great. Worth your dollars and they also have buckwheat noodles that fits the summer weather to cool your off from the heat. Will keep visiting 👍🏻“

“This is a wonderful place to enjoy authentic and delicious Swahili food. The manager truly values his customers and provides excellent service. Even though part of my order was missed on a busy night—which is completely understandable—the way they handled it was outstanding. The manager himself personally called me to apologize, which shows great professionalism and care. I truly appreciate that level of thoughtfulness. May God bless you and your business abundantly.“

“Full marks for the setting, ambience, and the gluten friendly( in my opinion) ginger beef rice bowl, Hit The Deck IPA, raspberry daiquiri(when their blender isnt broken) and the service(although can be slow on occasion).A pleasant establishment and patio.We shall definitely return.Well done to all concerned. Great job.“

“Absolutely delicious! BBQ KING CITY is a hidden gem in Edmonton. The meats are always tender and flavorful, especially the marinated squid and BBQ duck—perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Every time I visit, the food is consistently great:) Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Chinese BBQ!“

“Update October 2025:
As good, if not better than the first time! Always impressed everytime I come here. The quality is always amazing and the staff are so friendly! Definitely worth the trip from the south side.

Original Post:
October 2024 - Came for dinner here and was surprised by the service, the convenience, the food, the atmosphere, everything! Conveniently order everything on your phone and they bring it right to the table. The pork belly was amazing, as were the beef short ribs! All the grilled meat was delicious in general! The kitchen foods were just as good, but, it’s so much fun cooking at the table! All you can eat is so worth it! Be aware there is a cost for wasted food so don’t order more than you can handle! Highly recommend checking this place out!“
