Smoke N Barrel Kingston - (Near Kingston, ON)

3 /5 Laura Y: 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 didnt want to give up anymore time.

3 /5 Greg Kesminas: 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.

4 /5 Roy S: 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.

5 /5 Shannon Hartley: Wow manager owner and the staff are beyond amazing. Kitchen team efficient and organized ..servers busy and friendly. went for superbowl and the food was beyond expectations. Hot fresh delicious..do not pass go and forget to stop here for BBQ ribs ..mac cheese and cold brews !!!

1 /5 Zach Raymond: 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 someones pick up order that they simply didnt 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 Im 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 macncheese 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 wasnt 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 isnt 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.
