I visited Pip with my girlfriend, and what should have been a simple seating clarification turned into a very uncomfortable and embarrassing situation for both of us. When we arrived, we politely asked whether we could sit side-by-side at a small table. The host initially said it was fine, and even a neighbouring guest agreed it wouldn’t bother them. Shortly after, the manager came over and addressed the situation in a very abrupt and public way — speaking to me in front of other patrons instead of handling it privately or calmly. This made both my girlfriend and me feel singled out and embarrassed. I did become frustrated, and I have fully acknowledged and apologized for that. But the way the manager chose to escalate things, and the tone used, left me feeling bullied and ashamed. My girlfriend, who wasn’t involved at all, was uncomfortable just witnessing how the situation unfolded. After reaching out privately to explain our perspective, the owner responded by banning us from all of their establishments. The reply placed the entire blame on me without acknowledging any role the manager’s approach may have played in escalating the situation. Instead of feeling heard, we felt dismissed. This experience also made me question how staff might be treated behind the scenes. If a customer can be spoken to this way and effectively removed over a seating arrangement, I worry about what expectations or pressures staff may be under as well. Sadly, this isn’t a place we feel comfortable returning to. I hope management reflects on how situations like this are handled so other guests — and their own staff — aren’t put in similar circumstances.

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.

The staff were very friendly and the food was awesome! We ordered the meat variety tray for $91 and it fed 4 people perfectly with only a little bit of leftovers. We also ordered 3 sides to go with that. Very tasty food and a great experience overall. Highly recommended!

The beef brisket was dry and not hot at all when it arrived. The fries were a bit burnt. The pork wasn't hot and was still very dry. I went there because of all the good reviews, but I was very disappointed.

The perfect meal: Brisket, Cajun Fries & Speed King Cola. - Thanks for the great time, guys! The food was excellent and I appreciate how you served the brisket slices over a pile of carmelized, shredded moist brisket. Very, very nice.
Right from the start our hostess, Sarah, to our server Jane - everyone was so friendly, welcoming and warm. The food was delicious and we had a great evening.

Top notch smoked food. Highly recommend. Worth the wait. There are days that no reservations are taken, so plan accordingly. The bar has an extensive drink menu, with lots of top shelf bourbon available. I ordered the brisket with a side of coleslaw. The brisket was finished to perfection. Coleslaw was good as well. There are sauces on the table to compliment the meat and all were very good. Included is a picture of the pork ribs and a side of rice, which was spicy.

I went for a friend's birthday. I'm not a big meat enjoyer so definitely not the target audience lol. The service was lovely and I enjoyed the piece of pecan pie I ordered.
