Spicy Mac and potato salad are amazing 😍 the Thursday chicken sandwich special is my favorite. But anything you try will be delicious 😋 oh! And you can buy their sauces to go! We did that today for the first time.

The staff made us feel very welcome. Great people working here, really down to earth and personable. Food was great and we enjoyed trying all of their different sauces. Highly recommend the brisket, pulled pork and jalapeño corn bread.

This is a nice quiet restaurant for dinner, the food was absolutely amazing and the restaurant definitely has heart as the workers were completely helpful and delivered the most delicious food ever! Homemade apple crisp using actual apples that didn’t come from a can!

Parking: Enter from the west side after turning off the main road out front.

This place is amazing! We visited today for the first time and were greeted by the 3 loveliest ladies! They immediately gave us the warmest welcome, patiently helped me navigate the menu, and even offered extra food for my kiddos on the house! Not only that, upon finding out it was my husband’s birthday, bought us out a dessert with candles to celebrate. Just the sweetest staff and family run business! And to top it off, one of the lovely ladies came out with balloons for my kids, just because.

And the food- amazing!! The brisket, was delicious and our favorite. We finished our order and went back to order more. The corn bread, mash with gravy, slaw- so good! Even the kids loved it. This is a true hidden gem. Def the best spot for bbq smoked meats in the Edmonton area. We’ll be back for sure! Thanks for making us feel so special and welcome today❀

This place is phenomenal. The BBQ was absolutely next-level—perfectly cooked, packed with flavour, and the sauces? Unreal. The portions were generous, the sides were spot on, and the overall vibe was just fantastic.

On top of that, I can tell that they genuinely care about their customers. The staff was warm, attentive. Thank you Lanaya and Janis!

This was the first time coming here with a group of friends and it was too good. If you love BBQ, do yourself a favour and check this place out. Worth every penny and then some!

In the cold, relenting winter, I searched desperately for solace in the heart of Nisku. I found Cookshack BBQ, and two sweet angels, Lanaya and Janis. When all hope was lost, they were a light at the end of the tunnel. I was met with warmth and a calm serenity that dressed every fiber of my being. Have I finally found paradise? I thought. They greeted me with such elegance and love that could only be reiterated through their food. Never has such succulent pulled pork embraced with my taste buds. The brisket melted in my mouth like fresh butter on the stove. The ribs were as tender as a mother's bosom. The mac n cheese was sheer excellence personified in a representation of macaroni and melted cheese crafted to perfection. And the mashed potatoes so wonderfully decorated with the most delectable mouth-watering gravy. Thank you for this blessed experience. I will never forget the lovely people helping me and the amazing food here at Cookshack BBQ. They changed my life.

Food was amazing, beef brisket is a MUST. Tried the pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs, homemade mac n cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy and it was phenomenal. You can really tell they put their time, heart and effort into cooking all this food. The ladies who served/made the food were so sweet as it was our first time there, shout out to Lanaya and Janis!!! Everything was fresh and my stomach and wallet were happy, very good price for the high quality food đŸ€€đŸ«¶đŸ»

Best BBQ in Alberta hands down. I’ve been to a lot of bbq places (including the states) and this is in my top 3 of all time. Amazing staff, very friendly and super attentive. Large portions and the pricing is great!

We thank all of the staff involved tonight. All ten of us who gathered for a birthday celebration were impressed by both the food and the attentive service. A special shout out to Lanea, you helped make the evening special.

Been here a couple times, it's about time I left a review. I can't say enough positive things about this joint! The staff are so warm and accommodating and the food is delicious. All home made and very comforting! 10/10 would recommend coming here.

Missed out on brisket when we got here an hour till close, but the pulled pork and chicken ended up being terrific, and the sides are delicious! Service was attentive, friendly, easy going and laid back. I loved all the different bbq sauces available.
