Holy Smoke BBQ

Ordered skip the dishes pickup from the 16th Ave location by accident and they honored the order! That type of service is never forgotten, super friendly and helpful staff! And I have a delicious brisket sandwich, ribs and coleslaw, the day is saved!

Best BBQ place in Calgary. The food and service here is a lot better than Hayden Block and any other BBQ place in Calgary. It’s not a place for a romantic date but you get your money’s worth and come out happy.

Great portion size. Friendly laid back staff. Great bbq sauce selection and suggestions

Absolutely amazing food looked small when we got it but omg so worth it amazing scrumptious done bbq and deliciously baked cornbread. . Yummy shakes

Absolutely delicious food. But setting aside the food I want to address the service. I arrived a short while before close and the girl helping us out went out of her way to prepare us a meal that I genuinely didn't expect. Everything was still hot and fresh. Everything was available. That's not something I expected. We ended up ordering 2 sandwiches and a whole mess of ribs. Absolutely delicious. Fall off the bone tender. Smokey and well seasoned.

Highly recommend the pulled pork on a pretzel bun. It was probably one of the best sandwiches I've had in a really long time. Paired up with their great selection of sauces you can really find something to suit your taste -from smokey and sweet to spicy and my personal favorite, their BBQ Horseradish sauce. Prices are totally reasonable, and you definitely get more than what you pay for! Get the platter and choose from a handful of different sides like corn bread, coleslaw, and fries which are seasoned to perfection! I absolutely enjoyed every bite, and will definitely be back again, but I'll make sure to wear something that has a little elastic in the waist!

Was here about a year or so ago thought it was great, but this time not nearly as good. Brisket sandwich was well portioned but I found it a bit dry, saved only by the many delicious sauces. However I ordered a Pepsi as the drink selection was fairly limited. I got it and the top of the can was filthy. Kinda grossed me out.

This tiny restaurant specializes in BBQ and sauce, choosing to do a limited menu to perfection. They offer pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked chicken and ribs, along with a variety of sides, like the best cornbread in the city. They make a huge selection of sauces, ranging from sweet and mild to smoky Jack Daniels to spicy. Prices are reasonable. Service is functional and I've always found it to be friendly. I've observed most customers coming in standing and staring at the menu until they decide so the staff doesn't interrupt but waits patiently. You order at one end of the counter then move down to the other end to choose your drink, pay, then sauce your meat. Holy Smoke has small cups beside the racks of sauce bottles so you can taste multiple sauces on your sandwich. There are about 12 seats indoors along the window, plus one small table for 4. There are 3 tables for two outside. Behind the building, there is a large park with picnic tables - a much nicer outdoor space to eat. Parking lot is small but ample when the Chinese restaurant next door is closed.

Been wanting to come to this place for a while and sadly was pretty disappointed. You can really tell the owner does not care much for his business since it is quite dirty and understaffed. The lady that served us looked like she dreaded her existence and didn't want to serve us. I give it a 2 star because the sandwiches were decent, however everything else was horrible. The milkshake tasted like nothing, the baked beans were disgusting and the cornbread too. To top it all of the place is quite expensive 62 dollars for 3 sandwiches 2 milkshakes and 2 sides. Stay away and save your money

Pulled pork sandwich is great, good sauces! Friendly service, reasonable prices, large servings, I got a small pulled pork sandwich and it was enough for me 9 months pregnant. Husband got the barnyard, worth the $15, it’s 2 meals! Will be going there again!
