Devil's Elbow Ale and Smoke House

Still my go to place for good smoked meat. Staff are always on top of things, prices are where they should be and I always leave happy.

Amazing food and a great atmosphere. One of my favorite burgers I've had I think.

Came in on a Sunday earlier than their posted hours before a Canucks game and it was a great spot for pre-game drinks and BBQ. Tried both their burger and brisket burger, delish. Their housemade ketchup was a must-try and their chorizo sausage plate with brussel sprouts and cornbread was good too. Diana treated us really well, big kudos to her.

Yesterday, we had Chris as our server and our large group couldn't have asked for a better guy. He went above and beyond, and I hope the boss knows what an absolute gem they have in Chris. Super friendly and attentive. And oh my gosh the platter for six was to die for. Everything from the moment we walked in was incredible.

Great for the meat lovers! Partner and I enjoyed the “dine for 2” which was $67 and a few drinks.
This is my second visit, both times I have had friendly staff experiences and good food served to me.
The front near the bar is extremely busy and loud, but near the back is much quieter and more spacious.

I'm a vegetarian reviewing a barbecue place.

Because the service and experience was that exceptional and great.

Tonight, Dougie, behind the bar, not only made one of the best Margaritas I've ever had, but was kind and attentive in a busy environment.

Also, he remembered me from a while ago and my drink of choice (a skinny Margarita) I mentioned I was in a rush to go to a second place and he was prompt with the drink and bill.

All of this on a busy game night.

This is exactly what I'm looking for on a night out. Good service, consideration, attentiveness.

My husband and I came in with our adult son before a comedy show (Daniel Tosh) on Sunday, January 11th. My first time there. I am singing your praises! I'm looking on my receipt to see what the server's name was. On here it says night bar- but I'm pretty sure she said her name was Diana (?) Loved her!! I would definitely love to have her be our server every time we are there! We are from the burbs but definitely will be back again and again. We had some good conversation with her- I'm sure she sees lots of people- but perhaps she will remember us? Please please please pass along our kind regards and compliments to her!

Sad they removed their 9-close happy hour. But food was great as usual.

Diana, our server, was great! Food was awesome and drinks were perfect!!

Ordered ribs and brisket slide, they are precooked, not hot at all. Also the meat is a bit dry. One of the server is pretty slow, took her forever to come to order or take away the plates. The best item is the homemade ketchup that came with fries.

Been here multiple times over the last few years. The brisket is really good and my favourite in the menu. Wings and bbq chicken is good as well. Their beer selections are also good. Staff and the atmosphere is nice too.

I feel bad writing this review because sometimes a restaurant's version of their food is just that.

But I got the St Louis Ribs and I was utterly confused by them.
They didn't resemble BBQ ribs in any shape or form.

They were more like Chinese spareribs.

I honestly am still confused....

But the service was nice and efficient and the bar seems like a nice cozy spot.

I'm just really confused by the ribs. 😀

I got their ribs delivered, and I have to be honest. They don't understand how to do ribs correctly. They were tender enough, but the lathered the meat with this tomato based bbq sauce that just overwhelms the meat entirely. It is said that any bbq place that uses to much sauce is either ashamed or hiding something about their meat, and frankly thats true here.

My advice? Find an actual southern bbq place, and to the owners, go back to the drawing board, to actual bbq fans this aint anything at all.
