Recent Reviews
After reading all the great reviews we ordered through Uber Eats. Ribs were awful, I’ve never had ribs you had to rip the meat off the bone, very tough, even hard to cut between the bones with a knife. Brisket was just okay and very dry, but the burnt ends were good. Chicken is just meh, smothered in Bbq sauce, no flavor of its own. Corn bread looked great but was extremely dry even with the butter. Maybe it’s better there but we were quite disappointed.
You can’t go wrong with any of the food! The cocktails are unique and delicious as well.
We decided to try ward one for the first time today for Mother’s Day and we will for sure be returning.
Not only is the food to die for but the owner has a great appreciation for the best cars out there (Volvos).
It was an amazing experience and our 5 month old even got to try brisket for the first time there!
Highly recommend this place if you love good food, great drinks...read full review

Based on the reviews, Ward One Smokehouse and Brewery is a hidden gem with excellent food and amazing service. The brisket is very flavorful and tender, described as a flawless 10/10. The ribs are not fall off the bone but just under, with a sweet and tiny bit of spice in the sauce. The pulled pork sandwich is so good one reviewer’s mom cleared her plate. The brisket sandwich is loved for its tender meat and the sauce on the bottom of the bun with pickles onions. The salads are outstanding and fresh, the Mac n cheese is extremely good, and the smoked beans are perfectly smoked. The cocktails are unique and delicious. The staff is friendly, attentive, and super welcoming. The atmosphere is quite nice, with an intimate setup and a bar section. The patio is second to none. One small criticism is a lack of a baby change table, though high chairs are available. The owner supports local youth through Co-op education. It is a place where guests leave already wanting to go back.
