Came here around 8:00 last week after hearing so many good things about this place only to be seriously disappointed.
I ordered the 1lb beef brisket plate and it came out surprisingly fast but was cool in temperature. Not warm, not hot, but cool, as though it had been sitting out for a while, maybe someone’s pick up order that they simply didn’t want anymore. I have never seen something so pathetic in a restaurant setting in my entire life, the sheer disrespect of having my food be cool while the others at my table got their food hot/warm is baffling.
The food is not cheap but I want to be treated properly for what I’m paying. The brisket itself was gray and had no smoke ring which is simply put embarassing. The cornbread was actually good, as was the coleslaw but the mac’n’cheese could have had a better portion.
I also tried the peach cobbler dessert that tasted super salty, which the waitress informed me was actually a pinch of salt on top (it was, again, noticeably salty and got in the way of enjoying the dessert). It wasn’t a really busy Sunday but the lack of staffing definitely delayed service. Overall an extremely disappointing experience, maybe this place was once great but they really dropped the ball on a Sunday night that was not busy at all. Will definitely not be recommending this place to others as the value just isn’t there and the disrespect of giving food that was seemingly leftovers is just unacceptable. Looking at other reviews it seems to be a recurring theme that they will not solve.

Food was pretty good, except the sausage was very soft in texture, almost mushy. It is nice to be able to try all of the BBQ sauces they offer. Portions were good – we split the sampler with an order of potato salad. It also came out pretty quick which was nice.
Our overall experience was very much overshadowed by our horrible waiter though. The restaurant only had a couple tables of people and yet our waiter barely did anything.
He never served us drinks – I think it was the bar tender who eventually got us drinks after waiting with no service. We were contemplating walking out after waiting for so long for him to take our order, but we were hungry, so we had to seek him out to take our order. No sorry, no how are you, nothing. When we were finished we had to wait so long just for him to come back. We wanted to try dessert but after an hour and a half for two people in a not busy restaurant, we didn’t want to give up anymore time.

I think they tried to do something Texas stile but not even close. Food is OK 3 plus stars portion small but price is like 5 star restaurant. Bathroom is disaster no soap no paper or anything to dry hands, needs good cleaning as well.
Not disabled friendly no parking and washroom doors like 30” if that. As well entrance double doors tiny.

Stopping in on our trip from Montreal.
We were first timers in a Smoke house.
The food was good, but it would have been nice if our server had told us about the available sauces we could have applied to our food (without which made our food seem very dry).
We thought the sauces on the menu were applied in the kitchen.
We only found out about the sauces in squeeze bottles at the end of our meal when we overheard a server (not ours) tell the table next to us about the available sauces.
We will be back because the food was good. And now that we know about the sauces…..it will make the food even better.

Was in town for a ringette tournament and saw this spot near the arena.
Tried out a family dinner for 4 and definitely was not disappointed in the quantity of meat! Delish sides as well that you can choose from. The Mac and cheese was nice, jalapeño corn bread was on point, coleslaw was good and the baked beans weren’t bad.
The have a sauce station where you go get your own bbq sauces to eat your meal with. Get to try everything.

Love this place.
Was trying to figure out birthday dinner and we came here.
They do a birthday treat for anyone celebrating their birthday and I have to say definitely one of the best ones around lately.
Koodos to the 2 servers that were working there Tuesday March 3rd. It was crazy busy when we got there, but they were doing a great job.

This place 100% worth a visit on your travels on hwy 401. The smoked meats and sauces are superb! My teen asked to stop there again after eating their “gangster” wrap . We had a chance to eat there for lunch and dinner on separate occasions. Recently renovated space and super friendly service!

I have missed solid BBQ since leaving Texas, but I may have found the oasis for any transplants who missed the smoke ring of a well cooked brisket and the sight of watching ribs falling off the bone. I have found the place to go for you BBQ lovers.
I preface this review by saying I tried to go OMGosh BBQ since everyone recommended it, but I went on Friday and they were out of ribs and brisket, tried another restaurant on Saturday then returned to OMGosh on Sunday and they are closed. So I Googled the next spot and voila I found Smoke N Barrel and I was not disappointed..Matter of fact, I am enthralled that I found this place and didn’t eat at the other place. I was blown away by the atmosphere, people, and smoke rings.
Brielle was a great server. Professional, petite, and powerful. She commanded this restaurant, and it showed.
Now on to the food, in a word…. orgasmic.
The brisket and ribs melt in your mouth. The homemade sauces were great, I recommend the Dads Root beer sauce and Mackinnons Maple. The only complaint is have is the didn’t have enough Fritos in the Frito pie, but they had so much else on their it’s a miniscule complaint. I just love my southern frito pie to have fritos, Texas understands my complaint. Lol
The brisket is one of the best I have ever had, and I you follow my reviews you know I eat BBQ all over this blue dot we inhabit. Excellent job, Smoke N Barrel. In the words of Terminator, “I’ll be back”

Went in for lunch. Service was great. However being a smokehouse and not being able to pick your meats is kind of tough. Other place I have been have a pick 2 or 3 with choice of 1 or 2 sides. Gives people a chance to try out what they like. I had brisket and sausage with mac n cheese side. Brisket was good. Sausage was good as well but not great. Needed more smokeyness in both. We did have an issue which the server corrected for us. I would return if I am ever in the area.
