Ordered takeout for dinner and sampled a solid lineup: ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and cornbread.
The meats were juicy, tender, and fresh—clearly smoked with care. Each bite had that satisfying depth of flavor you hope for from a proper
Pricing is in line with other smokehouses—no surprises there. Overall, a satisfying meal that hit the spot.
Looking forward to going back soon to try their breakfast menu. If it’s anything like the dinner, it’ll be worth the trip.

Love their brisket. It’s been a while since I got a good smoked meat that’s reasonably priced. Their corn bread came very fresh and fries are crispy and flavorful. Ribs are soft. I would be back here. I would definitely recommend this to try!

Been here many times – such a fantastic spot! Had Cherylanne and her team cater our 2025 company Christmas party of 20 people and everyone was extremely happy with the food! Everything hot was hot (and the cold dishes cold), fresh, and absolutely delicious.
I personally will be back, and our company will be having Smokin Q cater our next event!

I had the pulled pork poutine and it was the best I’ve had.
Plenty of gravy,cheese and pork and somehow the fries stay crispy.

I’ve tried the pulled pork poutine and the brisket poutine. Both were really delicious. Their portion sizes are generous and they don’t cheap out on the toppings.

Always delicious and great service! We love their brisket, fries, and coleslaw. It’s amazing to know how much work, effort, heart and soul the owners pour into this business every day. I definitely recommend!

So happy I found this restaurant. They are located in an industrial area. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating. Open all day. So much on the menu I want to try. I had their brisket poutine. My only critique is they don’t use cheese curds. Fries were fresh, hot and crispy, the gravy was delicious and the brisket was awesome. The portion was huge.

This place has never disappointed me. I only get there maybe a few times a year but worth the wait

Best poutine in the Waterloo region. The fries especially were done to perfection. Crispy but not crunchy, moist but not soggy, soft but not mashed. They know what they are doing.

I can’t say enough good things about SmokinQ in Elmira. The service is amazing and so friendly. Food is sooooo good! Use to be in the Canadian Tire parking lot but now is at 76 Howard Ave. Unit 2. It’s worth the drive if you don’t live in Elmira. Plus they have a pay it forward board with prepaid meals on it breakfast, lunch and dinner items if your in need.
