Darren, our server was super friendly and informative about the owners. All the food was delicious and had plenty to take back to the hotel for later! If you're in the area, would definitely be worth a stop!!

Came here after the Painted Ladies of Grimsby and we wanted a great smoked dinner. They delivered. The hostess was phenomenal. She gave us the best recommendations. All the ingredients are homemade. The honey butter, the sauces. We got the ribs with the sauce on the side for dipping. The corn bread and burnt ends were super tasty. The decore was cool and they have a space for live music. They didn't disappoint.

Found this gem thanks to friends. Food is so good!! Service is fantastic. A plus is that the bathroom unlike most restaurants isn't freezing. My husband is in love with the wings and tacos and I can't get enough of the Mac n cheese and best corn bread

Our experience was wonderful! The service was friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy, homey, and smelled of the amazing smokey BBQ. The food was absolutely delicious, exceeding our expectations. We will definitely be coming back again.

This spot is a hidden BBQ gem! We were a group of 10 (adults and kids) visiting from the GTA after a day in Niagara, and we wrapped it up with dinner at Smoke & Moonshine — and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing: we devoured their smoked poutine, brisket, pulled beef, mac & cheese, Caesar salad, chicken tenders, wings, cauliflower bites, and slaw. Everything was packed with flavour, cooked perfectly, and served hot. The vibe is super chill and rustic — great for families and groups. Service was friendly, portions were generous, and we all left happy and full. Highly recommend if you’re in the area or even planning a little detour from Niagara!

We went yesterday for the first time and loved it. We had burnt ends(my favourite), pulled pork, ribs, mac & cheese, fries & baked beans. The food was amazing! The only thing I feel needs improving is the waitress needs to be more attentive. She never came around and asked if we needed anything. Other than that everything was perfect,

Stumbled here on our way back from Niagara on the Lake, and what a gem! Our server, Darren(?), was super friendly to all patrons and helped with menu recommendations. We took advantage of the happy hour menu and pricing. We enjoyed the Vienna amber ale, the smoked wings with the various sauces on the side since we couldn’t decide on one, the 1lb ribs had a nice sweet bbq sauce and were fall off the bone. The fries in the poutine were overcooked for my liking, which is why I’ve rated 4/5 stars, but I did like the bbq seasoning and gravy. Would return again for the Tennessee hot sauce, and try other bbq items. Highly recommend this place!

Grabbed lunch from the truck at the Paris butter tart festival on the first day. I only had time to eat 2,took the other one home and ate it for supper. The tacos were so good I chose them for round 2 lunch on Sunday. Staff was accommodating of my time, all had a smile, and filled my belly! Brisket tacos, 10/10! Stoked to try the restarau next time I'm in town! Thanks guys!
