These guys have great quality bbq that's juicy and tender every time without a doubt. They're also one of the only places you can get a nice thanksgiving meal for take out at a reasonable price. Their turkey is smoked and absolutely delicious and comes with a great sweet with a touch of sour cranberry sprouts. The Brussel sprouts are out of this world and the mashed potatoes are accompanied by home-made gravy that has a really meaty flavour to it. The cornbread was a bit on the too-sweet side for me but Smoke and Bones truly does knock it out of the park every time! read more

The smoked meats were truly delicious. Highly recommend the brisket and ribs, as well as the chicken. Less so frankly for some of the other sides, but that is OK. Still warrants a five star review. Also a very nice large patio out front that is dog friendly. read more

We had dinner here while visiting Vancouver. We ordered a few happy hour drinks to start things off. We all ordered something different but mine was the winner. I ordered the bbq pulled pork sandwich. It came with a good amount of bbq pulled pork and tasty coleslaw. Chips were on the side. The Chili was presented nice but it was a very small portion. The bbq pork plate with sides was also a very small portion. The bbq pork Mac & Cheese had a very bland and way to creamy noodle thing going on. Not that great. The meat part was good. Service was okay. No one really went out of their way to check on us. Overall the bbq was very tasty at this restaurant. I would recommend getting the bbq pulled pork sandwich. Most bang for your buck. read more

They do two things really really well - their brisket is out of the world tender yet just crispy on the outside (ask for the fatty cut) and their fries are really well seasoned. You can sit outside, friendly service as well. I mean they have other good stuff too - Mac and cheese my kid ordered is good and the chili is decent. I would come back for the brisket though. read more

Smoke and Bones - Barbeque Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

We don't go for BBQ often, if ever, but with the States closed, we decided to try Smoke and Bones while we were out and about in North Van. It's located across from Hearthstone Brewery. We dropped in for a late Sunday lunch (around 2:45pm) and there were a couple other booths/tables occupied. They proudly have on display all their trophies won in BBQ competitions. Service is a bit strange (the one waiter working the front took off his mask to hear us better) and sketchy (we saw none of the kitchen staff wearing masks). The menu is split into share plates, non-meat, soup & salad, BBQ family style, BBQ supper, BBQ sammiches and mains. - 2 meat combo ($29.99) - for our two meats, we picked the beef brisket and sausage. For our sides, we opted for the pitt beans, house rub fries and cornbread. For $30, you sure don't get much of anything. Beef brisket was dry and desperately called out for the BBQ sauce (which was at least good). The sausage was also a touch dry (it needed some fat). The fries came out cold. The cornbread was terrible; it instantly crumbled when we tried to split it in half. Only the pitt beans were passable. - Dukes rib mac n cheese ($15.99) - pasta in a creamy white sauce with mozza mix, garlic butter crumb crust and topped with boneless pork ribs. Again, the tiniest amount of meat on top. This was one of the saddest iterations of mac and cheese that I've had in my lifetime. Bland. All you taste is cream sauce. The cheese isn't even mixed in. Pricey, dry and utterly bland dishes. Don't waste your money at S&B. read more

Ended up eating there food twice in 2 days. First was at the restaurant and second was a catered event. At the restaurant I got a blackened chicken sandwich. The sandwich was so juicy and cooked perfectly. The side of potato salad was rich and delicious. The staff was awesome and ambiance was great. For the catered event they had brisket, macaroni and coleslaw. Even for catered it was fantastic. I'm not a big BBQ guy but it was excellent both times and everyone at the event loved the food. Would recommend. read more

Smoke and Bones - Brisket, macaroni and cheese and coleslaw with a Caesar salad. - Barbeque Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

I love bbq and I so wanted to enjoy this place. I've been 3 times either cause I hate myself or I hope it gets better. I've tried the ribs. I've tried the smoked meats. I've tried the burgers. All of them gross and burger burnt. The cornbread was stale, the potato salad yuck, fries so so. They claim to win 2nd place for ribs. Only if there was 3 competitors and 3rd place was a 6 year old. There was a tater tot cheese thing that was a special offer. That was the only decent thing on menu. Service was fine. No complaints there. Resturant ambiance was bar style. Not bad but nothing special. I'd give it zero stars (if I could) but the waitress was pleasant enough. HARD PASS next time. read more

Pre-covid I really enjoyed the food, especially the ribs. They use to offer full size ribs, but now it's only 1/2 for $29.00. For $39.00 you get 2 types of meat. I added chicken for $10.00 more. My friend orders ribs and brisket. I recommend this restaurant to him. Both came out fairly quickly. Everything arrived cold except the coleslaw which was room temperature. I had the fries replaced, because it should be against the law to serve cold fries. The ribs. It looked tasted 2-3 days old, definitely not fresh or made that day. It was such a small portion, about the size of my female hand and 4" across. Completely dry and the only flavour you got was the bbq sauce. (see my picture, dry, dry, dry) The chicken (1 leg and 1 thigh for $10 extra) was rubbery and dry. Coleslaw had absolutely no flavour, pickles were jared, corn bread dry and just horrible. I ate a few bites and left 90%. In my opinion it was completely inedible. I smoke meat all the time, as I have an xxl Big Green Egg. I just smoked 20 lbs of brisket, pork loin, chicken and 4 slabs of ribs on fathers day. I know what fresh bbq meat should look and taste like. This was pure garbage. Ribs you buy pre-made/cooked, pre-packed at Safeway for $12 full rack, taste better than this. I told our waitress and she said sorry. She mentioned that other customers have complained about the same things. During our conversation she mentioned that it's not that busy. It was a Friday night and only a handful of tables were occupied. The owner/manager came to apologize, but all he had were excuses. He said that the ribs were fresh. He lied, flat out lied! See picture. I know what fresh ribs look and taste like, it was an insult to try to convince me otherwise. He also said this place always busy. We paid our bill in full and tipped our waitress the standard 15%. $111.00 for 2 meals and a glass of wine we should have walked away from when served. Looking back at it I really regret that we didn't. My company was amazing, we had such a great time talking, and we liked our waitress. That's why we tipped her 15 % because the food was not her fault. We didn't like the food and we complained 2x. I repeatedly apologized to my friend because I recommend it. I was embarrassed, not only for my recommendation but for the restaurant itself. I will not be coming here ever again, not even to rib fest. The portions are a lot smaller than before, and the quality is non-existent. Nothing absolutely NOTHING was up to any standard of quality. Inedible! Such a shame the owner has no integrity and defends his poor-quality food. read more

Smoke and Bones - Dry, overpriced, inedible ribs - Barbeque Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

So yeah, just don't....save your money and go somewhere else. Order the (way overpriced) Dukes Mac and Cheese for takeout, with a side of cornbread (had to pay extra for the cornbread, such greedy cheapos at this place; you can't even throw in a piece of cornbread, you must take advantage and charge $4.50, really?) It was a major fail. The Mac part tasted like I was eating a blend stick of butter, the pulled pork was a bit burnt and very uneventful. The cornbread? I think I had better from a box of cornbread mix from the store, which is probably what they did, and got the cheapest they could find to feed their pocket. It was a joke, $4.50 for a itty bitty muffin. They should be embarrassed of themselves. Again, just don't. read more

Super yummy ribs and brisket here. I wish they bring back the old menu with the 2 meat-combo for $25. At least that allows to sample some meat if you are dining alone or with people who do not wish to share or do not eat meat. The only platter now is $70+ and meant for 2-3 persons. I like the corn muffin too. Not overly sweet and with a lovely crisp top. The pitt beans are on the sweet side, not too bad. Creamy coleslaw is not the wet and creamy type, it is on the dry side which is good as it does not soak through the liner. Fries are surprisingly good ~ crispy. Potato salad is meh though. The brisket is a big portion and very fatty but so delicious. Very tender and great with the house BBQ sauce. The ribs is also fall off the bone tender. Both meat are not served hot or warm, instead they are room temperature. The smoked jalapeno and chicken corn chowder is not bad, but the half portion is very tiny. For $6, it is not worth ordering. The food is good, service is nothing special. Just come for the food and do not expect anything more. read more

Hot dam. What a place. Best bbq place we have here. Beer selection is good. Food is flavourful. I hope they are at brewery and the beast. Would love to compare their food to the other chefs read more

Delicious BBQ place in the North Shore. Parking is available on the side street next to the building. The venue consists of a large patio area (there's even a couch section) as well as bar style seating inside. Nice and classy. Staff were friendly. The best deal seems to be the 2 meat combo ($27). I got to try the ribs, beef brisket, and pulled pork. Out of these, I would recommend the ribs and brisket. The ribs are full of flavour and nice and smoky. The brisket is tender though a wee bit dry. The pulled pork was definitely more on the dry side, though the sauce really helped. For sides, I had the coleslaw and beans. Both are quite good. The combo also comes with a corn bread cupcake, which is nice and sweet. Overall portion size is very decent. I left satisfied. I'll be back at some point. Recommended. read more

We just happened to drive by here last night and saw the crowd so we decided to come back tonight. Great decision! We ordered the baby back ribs with cornbread, coleslaw, "Pitt" beans and the potato salad. Each item was better than the previous one! If you're in Vancouver, don't miss this gem. read more

Pretty good overall. Texas style smoked brisket was good - it could have been great, if only it were cut against the grain :( . Smoked ribs were also good, although a bit overdone - they fell off the bone and were quite dry around the edges. Atomic poppers and fries were very good. Pickles are not house-made, they seemed like store bought hamburger dill chips to me, and this would be OK if the pickles were included with meals or plates: they are not, they count as a side. BBQ sauce is on the vinegar-y side as opposed to the sweeter side. read more

Ordering tip: The online ordering system indicates that it will take an hour for pick up order, but just call on the phone and we got it in 15min. See kids? It pays to actually talk to someone instead of hiding behind screens all day long! Food: A little bit on the pricy side but worth it for the indulgence of a good BBQ which is hard to find here, so bumped it from 4.5 to 5 stars! The 2 meat platter was enough to feed 2 adults. Ribs was our favorite but re brisket was also very flavorful. The beans had a surprisingly nice mix of sweet and savory, a very unique taste in a good way. read more

WOW WOW WOW. This is the best BBQ that I have ever tasted so far (As of today). I am impressed. I got the 2 meat combo to share. It was enough for 2 people. I got it with BBQ Brisket and Ribs. WOW... was it good. The 2 meat came with 2 choices of meat, coleslaw, beans and a choice of fries or potatoe salad. It had that nice smoky BBQ taste to it. On top, the meat was tender. The brisket came with a side BBQ dipping sauce. It goes well with the brisket. The coleslaw was delicious. Fries were seasoned nicely. My other friend ordered the smoke meal sausage. I had a piece and it was tasty. Of course.. I preferred the ribs and brisket more. Portion size was good and price was expected (market price). Service was good. I liked everything about this place. I am definitely come back for the BBQ. Everything was cooked perfectly here. Can't expect more. read more

Great value. Good food inexpensive beverages especially during happy hour. The server was great. Very friendly and efficient.

I am so glad I wore loose fitting clothing to dine here! hahaha! There were only two of us, we ordered the platter for 2-3 people and it was MORE than enough. It had a little bit of everything. It was hard to choose a favourite, but if I had to I'll say the beef brisket was my favourite. The juicy and tender meat just melted in my mouth! The weather was gorgeous, but we chose to sit inside. However they opened up the front portion of the restaurant so that fresh air was coming in through the patio doors. Clean establishment, friendly staff, amazing food! There is a full roll of paper towels at each table. It would have been nice if we had a plate for bones and wet wipes for sticky fingers - small details right? I will definitely come here again! read more

This place was pretty good. The brisket was pretty soft and fatty, and while I prefer a lean, right brisket, it was enjoyable. Sausages were great. Chicken was solid, although had a ton of sauce on it. Ribs were a little dry, as were the pulled pork. Corn bread and coleslaw were was decent, potato salad fairly nondescript, and beans were really sweet. They have a serious looking smoker out front and back. Good patio seating, although it's right on the road. Seems like a well stocked bar, although I ordered a cocktail and they didn't have one of the ingredients. Staff wear masks. I was a little disappointed when I asked for hot sauce and was told there is sriracha or Tabasco. Clear area of improvement, for me, is the sauces and condiments. It's definitely not the southern US, but I'd come here again. read more

Smoke and Bones - Family style bbq for 3-4 - Barbeque Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

First time was delightful!!! Can still remember the scrumptious moist brisket and ribs. The coleslaw was crisp and creamy, baked beans a bit sweet for my liking and the thick fries with seasoning salt was well paired with the smoked meats and the corn bread was well executed. Only had the brisket platter this time and it was so dry.... I should have said something. I will be back, hopefully the consistency will be better next time. read more

Came here the other night with a few buddies. Not a big place, not empty but not full on a Thursday night. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. Waitress came quickly to take drink orders. We ordered the family meal which feeds 4-6 for $32.00 per person. Mains were pork ribs, Angus Beef brisket, pulled pork, BBQ chicken sausage. Sides were potato salad, coleslaw, fries, sliced white bread and cornbread muffins with whipped butter. Brought out on a big platter.. All mains were juicy and very flavourful and moist. Cornbread looked good but once you broke into it, was a little dry... basically crumbled. The fried reminded me of costco fries but with more flavour. Only one dessert, oreo cheese cake jar. Was good, not too sweet. Staff was great. Only thing missing was they used to have Nachos. Was told with the price of the brisket they were losing money. Our group jokily felt they should have still had it on the menu as a $50.00 option. Not cheap but now a days, eating out, nothings cheap. Not even fast food anymore. Would and have definitely gone back. Prefer it over Mephis Blues which I find too dry. read more

Food was excellent. I was afraid the meat might be too smoky but it was just right. Great choice of entrees and sides. Lots of many delicious meats Wait staff were friendly and the ambiance is great. Friend had Mac and cheese with boneless rib meat on top. I had a blue cheese burger that tasted like steak. Go for the Oreo cheesecake cup. Fun experience. Would highly recommend to carnivores! read more

Yes A great BBQ place with variety We had the bbq rack, which was a bit sweet, but that was okay.

Overall still a recommend read more

This place has some delicious barbecue. Got my first taste when they were part of a catering event at my workplace and I couldn't wait to come back. We got the two meat platter and the Pitt wings. The beef brisket is absolutely amazing - soft, tender and full of flavor. My wife was personally impartial to the ribs because she really tasted the lovely smokey flavor and the meat came off the bones super easily. The Pitt wings were pretty good, but we felt like they were basted with too much sauce, though I suppose that is entirely to preference. It would have been a 5 star for the food alone, but we both felt the service was lacking. There was no one consistently monitoring the front desk. Dine in customers couldn't tell if they could get a seat because takeout orders were huddled around the front desk, and there was absolutely no clear order. Waited for a solid 30 minutes because no one was managing the doorway, only to be told that we were basically first in line. I think the waitstaff were quite polite and nice, but they just seemed too busy to really be very attentive, even after we were seated. Also, there's no point in wearing a face mask if you're going to have it tucked under the chin half the time. Just get another face covering if that's the case. read more

Almost arrived at Happy hour but nobody mentioned it to us. House red wine was so good. Strongly recommend brisket and ribs. Chili con carne was very delicious. Southern chicken soup was very strong in tomato flavour for our taste. Apart from this, all the other dishes were delicious. It is a place to be visited again . read more

Over the last year my friend Kyle and I have been exploring BBQ joints in Vancouver (The Devil's Elbow is our favourite but we've also been to Whiskey Six, Dixie's, Buckstop, Memphis Blues, and Peckinpah). We checked out Smoke and Bones in North Vancouver and were very impressed - it's in our top three Vancouver BBQ places. I had the $25 double meat platter (with brisket and pulled pork). It was loaded with meat and sides (fries, coleslaw, cornbread, and beans). The meat was very tender - the brisket melted in my mouth. The BBQ sauce was very tasty too and I appreciated how it came in a little serving dish rather than being slathered all over. I entered Smoke and Bones very hungry but I could not finish the whole platter. You definitely get value for your money. The atmosphere of the place is good. There are booths, tables, high tables, and bar seating (we were seated at the high tables). I was a little annoyed since the high table seats are stools and so there's no place to take off and hang your coat. The beer menu is not terrific but there's a good brewery across the street. Despite this, the food itself (the MAIN thing) was excellent. I will be coming back. read more

For smoky juicy ribs, go to Smoke and Bones. Located on a busy stretch of Marine Drive, Smoke and Bones serves up BBQ fare. They have won lots of awards, this place is a good spot for some delicious meat. We ordered the brisket, chicken, and a full slab of ribs. All the plates come with coleslaw, corn bread, beans and fries or potato salad. Get the fries. These are some of the best fries I've ever had. Perfectly crispy and topped with some cajun spice, this is how all fries should be. Now onto the meats. My favourite were the ribs. The baby back ribs are smoked just right, glazed with a layer of a tangy BBQ sauce. The brisket and chicken are also tender. I have yet to try the pulled pork! Service is friendly and efficient, and prices are reasonable. I will definitely return! read more
