Reviews
Went here with a small group of people for dinner on a slow night. We ordered a combo platter for 5-6 people. It read definitely more than enough for all of us! Food was okay. Chicken and wings were best, I would have expected better pulled pork and ribs for a smokehouse though. They did have some of the best onion rings and their fries were great too. The owner was super helpful and went out of his way to talk to us before and after leaving to make sure that we were satisfied but unfortunately our server wasn't that great.
We were in town for the night and ordered through Skip the Dishes. The burgers were oversized, juicy, and delicious. We would highly recommend it, worth every penny. We can't wait to go back and try it again when we can eat inside.
The food is not great. The pulled pork isn't anything special. Quite a few tough chunks or pieces of pure fat covered in a pretty unremarkable sauce. I probably should have listened to my gut when the BBQ sauce was being poured from one of those huge bottles of premade stuff. The chicken wings were pretty dry and otherwise nothing special. Just your average fried wings. The chicken quarter was also pretty dry and flavorless. The ribs aren't too bad though. Bit tough, but decent flavor even without any sauce. I would have liked to review the brisket, but I was only told they didn't have any when I got to the store. There was no mention of it being unavailable when I ordered take out over the phone. I understand that there's problems with supply and the price of beef, but still. As for the sides, they ranged from eh to bad. The onion rings were so greasy, I didn't even bother with them. The fries and coleslaw are alright. The cornbread is a bit too dry and crumbly for my taste, but decent for flavor. If you're really craving BBQ then I guess this is your only choice in the area, but personally I'll be waiting until I head to Toronto for some better spots.
Worthwhile place to go back to. We were the first customers of the day as they were opening. Friendly staff, even though they were busy getting ready. The owner chatted with us about some of the changes they were planning for the upcoming breakfast menu, as they were working on transitioning from their summer menu to winter menu. We had both of the daily specials, a breakfast poutine and a brisket egg sandwich. They were delicious, and SIGNIFICANT portions plenty of potatoes. We didn't fully finish both dishes. Not as overly salty as what others have said. The brisket was just a touch on the dry side, but it was blended in with a decent sauce and egg on the sandwich that made it work well. I also had my eye on a reuben going in... so I think I had it in my mind to see a stack of smoked meat on the poutine... but I wouldn't have needed it because it was already quite a bit to eat. Overall, it was a great experience, with respectable and interesting dishes compared to standard breakfast fare. Likely will make more regular trips there!
I really, really wanted to like this place, but it's lacking in a lot of things s that could be improved easily. The food is basically quick fixes, burgers, fries, wings... the burgers were dry like they were mashed into the grill repeatedly; the fries were basic food truck fries. We had a hot dog and onions rings as well, they were way too salty. Gotta give it to the quality of ingredients though, it's not cheapo discount ingredients, but it lacks the touch of an experienced line cook. Service was slow, but not all to the servers fault. It was a full house with bar and full kitchen with only 2 servers with some expereince. Food was very slow to come out, but drinks came quick. With a full bar,cocktails, and shots menu, I was expecting much more. My first cocktail was watered down, and instead of lime juice, they used lime cordial major bartender mistake - so maybe the bartender isn't experienced or the owners are not providing ingredients. Second drink didn't even have liquor. Quality control is lacking. Should have stuck to wine or bottled beer. The vibe is great though, friendly, welcoming, local hangout, good diversity of people... but it's lacking finishing. They're having special nights like comedy, drag, karaoke... which are wonderful opportunities, but I'm hoping for better quality of food and bar service next time. Comedy night was alright, a few comics from Toronto, felt more like open mic comedy night. I think they were a bit confused by the rural-not-so-rural crowd. I will try this place again, only because I really want to like it... but for me to give a better review or visit regularly, some changes will need to be made.
It's a wonderful place to make memories. One of the best live shows and karaoke nights in town. It caters to all needs such as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Vegetarian options: They have good options for vegetarians too. Kid-friendliness: They have a children's menu. So bring in your kids. Parking: Parking is right outside.
My boyfriend had the mushroom burger a couple weeks ago and he really liked it. We tried them again tonight and we were the last customers. The wait was quite long around 40mins and when we got home, the fries we very overcooked, the burgers were overdone and very salty. Kind of upset thats the outcome after spending $40.
We stopped for a get together with family had a great visit. The food was great along with the atmosphere. The server done a good job and so did all the entertainers. We will be back.Food: 4/5
First time at the bistro was a singles mingle night. Atmosphere was the best I have experienced in a long time! Food is fantastic especially if you have a big appetiteFood: 5/5
I have experienced the Smokin' 116 Bistro 3 times now, and I will be back when my schedule and bank account allow. That being said I will say I am thankful I'm a short drive away and I can join my wife here on lunch dates, as I feel it will become a regular spot for us, which is a feat to achieve because while we are both foodies, we are critics too, and the fact we will make this a regular spot should speak volumes. Expect quality cooked food packed full of flavor with every single bite. If the prices seem high, you will see why, or more so they are more than average if not a little on the low side, because in addition to quality flavor you get massive portions. Honestly as someone that can easily sit through a 7 course meal, their mac and cheese poutine is enough for two meals for me. I think the biggest downside to is I want to keep eating it even though I know I shouldn't can't and I have to force myself to stop. So quality food, massive portions, next is the environment and I will say if you want to feel like your going home and visiting family then come here. Sal, Al, and the entire staff will welcome you like family and show you the same, if not better, love you would get from your family. Even better, unlike other establishments, if you have a concern or issue with your meal or service just let them know and they will go above and beyond to correct it. So why 4/5? That is because I find the delivery experience is not the same as the dine in. Yes I know it is a different atmosphere and I know many things could happen during delivery, however I find the quality of the food is not the same, but that could because its being delivered in a container instead of served in an appropriate dish. I also have only had a very limited amount of their menu and if anyone knows me, they know before I even think of a full 5/5 I want to taste at least 3/4 of that menu. So to the Smokin' 116 Bistro I say, expect to see me more and more, and keep doing what you're doing because it is amazing and I can't wait to introduce my tastebuds to more flavor filled bites.
