Review: Holy Smoke BBQ and Smoke Pit

[Davetronz]

Holy Smoke is awesome. I love that place. Everything on their menu that I've tried is great.

Bump for Holy Smoke Blackfoot

This place is still pretty consistent, I love their cornbread. The redneckism posters and décor on the walls pretty neat. This location has it's mixture of blue collar rough workers and office folks around the area.

I suggest they have disposal saucer trays that holds 6-10 sauces at a time...

Don't forget about their North location, 16 Ave and Centre Street in the Eastern Fortune Restaurant mall. (haven't been)




Food: 8/10 Very consistent, I don't always eat here but when I do, it feels the same level.

Service: 7.5/10 It's a food joint where I doubt the actual investors/owners are on site. There is a turnover of staff (different visits mostly different faces); but the staff do send a hipsterish chill vibe; feels like HR just drives around California highways picking up anyone with "will work for food" signs

Price: Didn't have to pay. But I find it a little on the high side. 2 small drinks, 2 cornbread, 20 ribs for $40 something... But nothing like 5 ton commercial trucks rolling coal on your food while picnicking 2' table lengths surrounded by Calgary's finest $100,000+ redneck industrial working class, lunchon yyc stare down.

Nice rack.

The 16th ave location has good food. The inside is VERY small and you sit at a bar style with high seats.

The corn bread at the 16th ave is yummy!

[ExtraSlow]

Food is same at 16th ave location. Personally, while I do enjoy the food, I agree it's 8/10 at best, maybe 7.

Dont think the 16th ave location sells beer, but you can buy it at the manchester one.

The ribs look to dry and the rack has cancer.

I think the Palomino is better than Holy
Smoke. Check it out

I went to their truck last week and i really liked their smoked chicken sandwich. Smoked chicken is something you don't see nearly as often so it was quite refreshing!

[ExtraSlow]

I like Palomino more as well.

I was there yesterday as well. Believe I saw you Tomco.

I love this place tho. Everything tastes great.

[max_boost]

BenC, are you Ben chow?

[killramos]

Does anyone else think the palomino smells like the mens washroom of a sleezy club?

Turns me off the concept of eating there as soon as i walk in the door. Havent been there in a few years but that has always been my impression.

Tomco you perv, you were taking a picture of the rack and got some ribs in there by mistake. Don't even try to deny it.

Most people would turn the camera landscape to better show the food.
