Smoque N' Bones

Phenomenal experience! I used to frequent the Queen West location. My brother was in town and is a huge ribs/bbq guy, so brought him to the Baldwin location for lunch. Just WOW. Forgot how great this place is. My bro passionately despises people taking photos of their food- for the first time ever, he took a photo of his food the beef ribs were actually insane. Ive never seen any that massive and juicy looking, even other tables commented. Javier was even better than the ribs. So warm, welcoming, happy, professional, goofy. We would come back for him alone. The Brussels and braised cabbage were soooo good. Perfect decor, brought me right back to Texas. Looking forward to returning. Thank you for a wonderful experience and memorable moments with the bro

The place has a really cozy design and the staff are super welcoming. We tried the ribs and brisket — portions were generous and filling. It would be even nicer if the plates came with a small side like fries or a salad. Quality was good overall, but not quite at the level that makes me want to come back often. The price is on the higher side — around $50 per person after tax and tips — so keep that in mind.

10/10 wow- we will be coming back. We got the platter for 2 to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and we were blown away by both the presentation, taste, and service. Highly recommend ordering that if it’s your first time like us. Waiter was attentive and kind. Dessert was delicious. Will definitely be coming back. If you’re considering going here - YOU MUST GO. Best decision we made.

A valuable experience for anyone craving generous portions of protein and rich, bold flavors! We started with the maple smoked chicken wings and hickory smoked rib tips as shareable - super flavorful with a heavy, sauce-forward profile that tasted like a mix between buffalo and BBQ sauce. For BBQ mains, we had the beef brisket and pork side ribs. Both served with the same sauce but the meats themselves already had that natural meaty aroma I love. I’d recommend trying them plain first to appreciate the flavor of the meat, then adding the glaze for an extra kick! For the sides, I really like the side of creamy coleslaw - tangy and salty, cut through the richness of all the meat like a reset for the palate. It reminded me of the way a whiff of coffee beans refreshes your senses in a perfume store. The cornbread was okay - not super memorable but still decent. As for dessert, the bread pudding and cheesecake were very well made. The cheesecake was served in a glass jar, which was such a fun touch! It was just a bit too sweet for us and the biscuit layer at the bottom was a little too hard to scoop. Still both dessert were close to perfection. The only downside was how packed this place was. It was so busy that the servers barely had time to check on us- we ended up waiting forever just to get a plate change, more napkins, or even the bill. Definitely something to keep in mind if you’re going during peak hours.

They made our Christmas dinner very special and memorable! The food was great, and the hospitality was warm, friendly, and cozy. I absolutely love this restaurant and will definitely be coming back soon.

At Smoque N’ Bones, the scent of slow-smoked barbecue greeted us before we even stepped through the door, and that was just the beginning of the Southern hospitality! The Maple Smoqued Chicken Wings were a flavour-packed opener: crisp skin kissed with smoke, balanced by the cool freshness of dill sauce and crunchy crudités. The BBQ Pork Side Ribs fell off the bone with ease, rich with a sweet-smoky glaze that had us reaching for “just one more.” The Beef Brisket was pitmaster perfection: deeply smoky, fork-tender, and paired with tangy-sweet braised red cabbage. For a lighter smoke, the Maple Smoked Half Chicken offered juicy, fragrant meat with a delicate maple finish. The Toasted Fennel Sausages brought a punch of aromatics, lifted by sharp mustard and the sweetness of caramelized onions. The sides were no afterthought: Grilled Corn with Smoked Cheddar & Chipotle Mayo was indulgent yet bright, while Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic & Caramelized Onion were smoky-sweet crowd-pleasers. Comfort classics shone too: creamy Mac & Cheese, refreshing Coleslaw, pillowy Cornbread with sweet butter, and irresistible Buttermilk Biscuits slathered in blueberry butter. Executive Chef & Pitmaster Alex Rad’s passion for authentic barbecue showed in every bite, from locally sourced ingredients to the all-night smoking process. With a menu rich in gluten-free options and a cozy whiskey bar, Smoque N’ Bones nailed the perfect mix of rustic charm and refined flavour!
