    There's no better place to grab some bbq than Bigg Smoak whenever you're in Steinbach…read more This place is pretty popular but luckily there's tons of parking. They have an extensive menu of all things BBQ. I opted to go for the Family Feast. I wanted to try everything. Ribs, brisket, chicken and sausage. Food was moist, tender and smokey. Great flavor throughout. I also enjoyed the onion rings and cole slaw. They really complemented the bbq. One of my favorite bbq places hands down.

    +.5 for service This…read moreis your premier standard for BBQ restaurants in Manitoba. Your other true alternatives in the province aside from some food trucks are Famous Daves (not nearly as good) or Blue Haze (fine but questionable owners). The restaurant is busy for a reason; the food is that good. My standard order is usually the Bigg Q, though I go Little Q if I'm not that hungry because the portions are huge. Love the pulled pork here, and brisket's always the standard to order. I had the beef link in my most recent visit too, and I liked that as well. I always go with the deluxe mac n cheese for my side as I'm a mac n cheese fanatic. Service is excellent here, I actually left my jacket my last visit and they were so kind to allow one of my coworkers who lives in Steinbach to pick it up and give it back to me in the office. They didn't need to but I really appreciated what they did! Is it the best BBQ ever? I'm sure there are better options outside the province, but this is definitely top tier for Manitoba.

    This is for the location in the forks market…read more Taste was good but all our tacos were cold, so that's why minus one star. Perhaps worth minus 2 stars but anyway you understand the problem and how much it means to you All gluten free We had chorizo, shrimp, fish, carnitas, mushroom, and beef. All good. Just cold.

    Public Health & Customer Service Warning - Habanero Sombrero, The Forks…read more If you're visiting The Forks and planning to grab something to eat, I would strongly encourage you to think twice before eating at Habanero Sombrero. I can't speak to how often this restaurant is inspected, but based on my experience, I have serious concerns about its food handling and customer service. I ordered a meal and, after eating a significant portion of it, discovered a long strand of what appeared to be human hair buried in my food. The moment I saw it, my stomach turned. I was horrified, wondering how much of it I may have unknowingly eaten before noticing it. It was one of the most disgusting dining experiences I have ever had. I immediately brought it to the attention of the staff. The first employee I spoke with was genuinely apologetic and immediately offered me a refund. I truly appreciated the sincerity of her apology and was actually about to tell her not to worry about the refund because I understood that mistakes can happen. Unfortunately, before I could say a word, another employee came out from the back, interrupted the conversation, and completely changed the tone of the interaction. In a rude and dismissive manner, he said no refund would be given because I had already eaten the food. He then suggested that I could have been the one who planted the strand of hair, and that he could offer me a complimentary drink instead. Let that sink in. I never asked for a refund. It was offered to me, and I was about to decline it before I was interrupted. Yet, instead of being treated with empathy after finding hair in my food, I was effectively accused of trying to scam the restaurant. I have never felt so insulted, embarrassed, or disrespected as a customer. The employee then went to speak with his boss. I don't know what he told him, but he returned and said the owner would only authorize a complimentary drink or that I could send an email if I wanted to pursue the matter further. Finding hair in food is bad enough. It can happen in any restaurant. What truly defines a business is how it responds when something goes wrong. In my case, the issue wasn't just the hair--it was the way I was treated afterward. Instead of taking responsibility and trying to make things right, I left feeling accused, dismissed, and humiliated. I'll let others draw their own conclusions, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend Habanero Sombrero. If cleanliness, professionalism, and respectful customer service matter to you, I would encourage you to consider the many other excellent dining options available at The
