Was excited to try this place on an overnight stop in St Catherine's…read more Stopped by at 5:30pm on a Saturday evening (20 Jul 2024), and... were they even open? There was no one at any tables. There did not appear to be any lights on inside (including the lights of the "Open" sign on the door). There was one older gentleman standing inside, glaring out the window while talking on a phone, but that just made us uneasy to approach the door. Drove by around 7:30pm the same Saturday night. The "Open" sign was lit, but the place looked empty.

Great southern smoked food , unique cocktails and craft beer choices!…read more Shared BBQ BFF platter with my father , every part of it was smoked and rich in flavour. It came with brisket, pulled pork , sausage , chicken, ribs and two sides. The Corn bread melts in your mouth , and the mac and cheese side would even be perfect as a main ! My cocktail "smoke and mirrors", had a strong pear taste with a full brandy body. Definitely needs another staff member or two as the drink specialist was also serving the whole restaurant, taking orders and greeting. Including the outside. Although at times we were waiting , for example to pay as it got busier although we waited a while for our bill and drink refills but, it never felt excessively long even with this crutch. Price for quantity, taste , and its classy ambience and style make this place a must go in St. Catharines, even the whole Niagara Region !

Fries that stayed crispy to the bottom, gravy that was just savory & salty enough and the perfect cheese pull from the curds (we got extra, do it too!).

We've had takeout from here before and really enjoyed it, so we decided to try it again, and it's…read morejust as good as we remembered! The ribs were sweet, sticky, and tender. The smash burger was amazing and really well put together. Cornbread was great, the mac & cheese was exceptional with a delicious smoky flavour, and the rice and beans were really solid, too. My wife tried the Southern Fried Cauliflower; nice and crispy, but it could've used a bit more flavour. Still, overall, a really good meal and definitely worth a stop if you're craving BBQ in Frankenmuth. For more food reviews and travel adventures, check out A&M Roam on YouTube!

Updating my review 2 years later and I just feel the quality has really dropped. Ordered the basic…read morebro poutine, really lacked flavour and the ribs had barely any meat and was hard to get off the bone. Service is always hit or miss the last 2 times we've visited and even when it's dead the service is slow. We have been 4 times in the last 2 years and this time was our last. Sadly Beamsville is lacking in decent restaurants, have to make a drive to get food worth the price.

In Ontario, tough guys on skates came from London; twinkle toe, finesse skaters are from Brantford…read more All skaters go to the races at Merrittville. The Smokehouse could also be called a Smoke-truck. No dining inside. Scattered tables outside. Just like a food truck. Strategically placed in front of the speedway. The ribs we had were fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious. Full rack. Just the right amount of sauce, not overdone. Once again, we eat community style so most of the menu is purchased and we get to try it all. They make a great, extra cheesy, Mac -n- Cheese and the Fried Chicken is moist as well as crunchy. Good stuff! Pro Tip: Someone in your party must order Brisket Poutine. So delicious you could easily fill up on it. The weakest link to me was the Footlong Sausage Dog. But on any given Saturday, I could definitely see myself ordering and eating one. They just don't have any bad bbq. The service is fast and friendly. Ignore the prices; the portions are generous, besides, you're here to enjoy.

Dinner and it was great. Food truck style with outside dining in front of the Merrittville Speedway…read moreso if you're looking for indoor dining in an actual building, this isn't for you. Fried chicken, tots and mac & cheese. All very good. Tasty crispy hot chicken, lots of tots that were fried and perfect. Mac & cheese had good cheesy flavor and consistency.

We were nearby and decided to stop by for lunch seeing the good reviews. After trying the food, we…read morecan defiantly say it's 5 stars worthy. The falafel plate I had was so delicious. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, drizzled with their house sauce (I asked for medium) on a bed of seasoned rice. I had a side of coleslaw and potatoes, both was delicious. Creamy coleslaw with bits of dried cranberries was so good I could've eaten that as a main. Potatoes were cooked in a curry sauce and was flavourful. My brother had the chicken plate which he got spicy and it really delivered. I loved that it was chopped and easy to eat, no knife necessary. The chicken was juicy. He got the salad (sweet balsamic) and hummus, all house made and you can really taste the difference. The hummus had a smoky taste and a nice smooth texture. Overall 10/10, we would defiantly visit again!!

I especially enjoyed the options of the salad and baked potato bar. Lots of options and the guy cutting brisket was so friendly and helpful!

Now, I'm typically not someone who orders mac & cheese or even really craves it, but this place is…read morethe exception to that rule. Their mac & cheese is unbelievably flavorful and checks every box for what great comfort food should be. It's rich, creamy, buttery, and packed with cheesy flavor. You will certainly keep going back for another bite. What's even more impressive is that it's gluten-free and honestly, you would never know. The texture is spot on and doesn't sacrifice flavor at all. I've been to several events where they've served it, and it is always one of the first dishes gone. If you come here, this is an absolute must-order.

First time here and I ordered the ribs and brisket with collard greens and bake beans…read more The brisket was a hit. Great flavor and tender. The ribs were just so so. The collards were ok but could have been chopped just a bit more. There were a few bites that was like eating in cut spaghetti. Long strips that were a bit undercooked for my liking.

This place was delicious. Several wing sauces available. However, no matter what combo, you can…read moreonly select 2 sauces as per the website. This place is take out only, with the exception of 2 bar stools. The breading on the wings is fantastic. These wings are not too saucy. I went with the Jamaican Hot and Medium BBQ. Some people on google say they are crunchy, I only had a few crunchy ones out of my 24 wing order, yet they are not soggy. The fries are delicious. They advertise as fries, however, they are more like wedges. 24 wings and fries was $32 (double order meal pack). Very affordable and worth it.
