We picked up the smoked pork chop special, pulled pork mac and cheese, and two yummy desserts to take to our room at the Best Western last night. Toula and the team prepared an amazing spread - everything was so delicious!We have been away from OS for 8 months and truly missed the great smokehouse flavours and superb and friendly service. And thnx for the cookies Toula! They were perfect with our morning coffee.Review readers - don’t judge the book by its cover. This place is the best!

Super food, great service. This is a smokehouse but also offers several vegetarian items including smoked jackfruit. Everything we had was amazing from the smoked meats to the tomato jam. Recommend if you are hungry, or if you are a bourbon lover. Also they had 3 different desserts that all featured peanut butter and chocolate.... I would go back.

I am very disappointed in this restaurant. I pre-ordered my lunch. Gluten-free ahead of time arrived picked up and left. When I got back and opened up my lunch, not only was it not gluten-free it was not what I ordered. So I was without lunch now and could not go back, they offered a credit but that doesn’t make up for a simple lunch order and only one table in the restaurant. Not sure I’ll go back.

First Timers... Service was a 10/10. Eva was outta this world, I could honestly go on and on about her. She loves what she does and you can tell. Food was fantastic! Prices are affordable. Atmosphere was great! I can't wait to go back. Everything is made inhouse. I wish you could buy a jar of their mustard! SOO GOOD! I also heard the shepherds pie is delicious and should make a come back. ? - From the birthday girl.

The food here is delicious!! Our first time eating from here and we got a few things to try- the applewood smoked wings, the brisket poutine, the pulled pork sandwich as well as the peanut butter pie and cookies and cream cake. Every thing we ate was amazing, the main dishes were smoky and savoury but well balanced with sweetness and the right amount of acidity. A super cute surprise came with our order as we were sent three free chocolate chip cookies - a very sweet and thoughtful addition and they tasted great. We would definitely recommend and we will be return customers! Our new favourite place!

A little hidden gem in Owen Sound. First understand that it fills up fast. No, you will probably not get a walk-in seat on the night of a Attack game. Make a rezo!!Food is amazing don't sleep on the sides they are fantastic as well. Good drink selection of local vendors. Staff are friendly and helpful. Go get some meat!

Good down home food, whatever you order. Their sides are all good, it's hard to decide. Service is great and friendly. Comfy rustic atmosphere. Best burger in town!

Had dinner and drinks with co-workers on Friday, and our server, Eva, was incredible. Hands down, the most professional service I’ve experienced in Owen Sound. She was super fun, knowledgeable, and also told us about other weekly specials that got us excited to come back again. The food was all really good, but the wings were amazing! I loved the amount of little crudités that came on the side and the fact that it included pickles was such a nice touch! The atmosphere is open, but also cozy, and the music was a nice volume so we didn't have to shout. Beer selection is solid and the classic cocktails are done right! Great experience. I will be back!
