Smoke - Edmonton

I was pretty disappointed with the food. I had been here before and the food was great so I was looking forward to returning. The ribs were tough and the brisket was really over cooked. I am hoping the kitchen was just having a bad day but was pretty disappointed this time around.

Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere and great service. Always a great place to go before an event at Rogers

Beef ribs were kinda pricey for the amount you receive The smoke smell lingering in the air was not very pleasant

I wasn’t super impressed with how our reservation was treated. I booked it 3 weeks in advance for 7pm for 12 people and half of our table was being used by other people not apart of our party until 7:30. It felt very much like our reservation didn’t matter and the small walk in party was more important. The food was great, the server was alright (slower with the drinks but it is what it is). If I were to go there again as a big group I wouldn’t trust reserving a table.

The service, ambiance and music were great. The drinks were pretty good but the food was a bit of a let down. The brisket was undercooked and the collagen had not properly broken down. The meat was overly reliant on the sauce to provide flavor and was quite bland when eaten on it's own and don't get me started on the hot potato Salad. I know it's called crispy but I honestly didn't know that hot potato salad was a thing. If you're a smokd BBQ enthusiast there are better places in the city. Overall the good service and ambiance made up for the food's shortcomings but I wouldn't go back for the food.
