Reviews of Skinny's Smoke House (Bakery)

Francis XIV

Skinny's Smoke House was a really awesome Barbecue experience, the drinks were flowing smoothly and quickly, service was exceptional there, the waitresses were very friendly and attentive. I'd personally reccomend the three for three deal, I had some Brisket, it was amazing, Brisket, Pulled pork and Sausage. They have an awesome selection of sides, I love the tater tots pie and the Baked beans.

My favorite restaurant! You can't go wrong with the 2x2 - love the brisket and pulled pork! I would like to marry their cook, obviously.

Laura Kelly

So yummy and so friendly! The atmosphere was lovely. Very clean everywhere. The kids meals were fantastic and actually had enough food to satisfy my growing kids. Our meals were filling and delicious. I cant wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Jon Fields

Wow, we are traveling across Canada and found this place across from our hotel. The food was amazing and had to pick up some of the BBQ sauce and spices to take with us. Definitely would visit this place again and again. A must stop for anyone transiting by and wants a good Smoke House experience.

Just had a great burger there tonight and I'm picky. Friendly waitress.

Michael Anderson

This place serves up some awesome food! The Manzilla Sandwich is ridiculous. The smoked wings are a must & the cornbread is on point. Could not ask for anything better when you are going to a hockey game in Med Hat.

Brangwyn Jones

What to say, the food is as good as always and in a brand new and clean location. Can’t wait to come back.

It seems a common complaint, but the Sausage absolutely could have used a smokier flavour. Beyond that, I love what has been done with the whole restaurant since my last visit. It's much more homely feeling, with just as good of food. I absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone who likes barbecue or southern food. And ABSOLUTELY get the cornbread. Definitely the best I've had at any Medicine Hat restaurant.

First time at new location and overall very good. While visiting here in Medicine Hat we wanted to check out their new location - nicely situated and so "new". Server was right at the front to greet and seat us, and there was ample space with good lighting and a casual vibe. Our server was friendly and helpful, we never felt neglected. We ordered the "three and three" combo which was more than enough for two people for $20. Our meat choices were beef brisket, sausage, and St. Louis ribs. The highlight was the brisket, as a fellow pitmaster I know how hard it can be to achieve a tender and juicy brisket but they nailed it! Fork tender and fatty, really good. Could have been smokier for my taste. Sausage was tasty, again I prefer more smoke. Ribs had a nice smoke ring but were not as tender as I would have expected. There were a variety of house made sauces and I liked the coffee flavor the best. It would be nice to have a bolder sweeter sauce option too. Cornbread was really nice too. Overall a success and we wish you guys all the very best!!

Had the 2 for 20 meal. 2 briskets slices. potato salad and coleslaw. Brisket was good. Coleslaw was good. Potato salad is to die for.

Hecklin Decaler

You can't beat the prices here! Three meats and three sides for $23!? Yes please!! Took our toddler with us when we stayed across the street at the hotel. No problems and the staff were sneaky about offering her ice cream with her meal so we didn't have to fight. It was great!

Hal Wetherup

Oh my gosh! The best food. The portion sizes are huge! One plate fed two people with left overs. Totally recommended.

Frank Hernandez

Great place, you won’t get better price anywhere for this delicious amount of food. Very friendly staff and good service. Don’t forget your vaccine proof.????

Whole family got food poisoning from here. Food was good otherwise, but they obviously don't follow protocol very well. Got my money back tho, but will never return.

Willy

Been here a couple of times and each time very impressed Brisket and wings with the Alberta white sauce are my favorite as well the tater tot pie, the cornbread and poutine with waffle fries and burnt ends as well. Cant really go wrong with any choices. One of the best places to eat anywhere in Alberta not just medicine hat. Lastly the prices are extremely reasonable for the portions you get.

Ordered take out for supper. Awesome service. When we arrived home the food was still hot because of how it was wrapped and the quality of the food was amazing. Thanks Skinny's it was well worth the drink e out to you.

Hannah Dupuis

Every time we go to Medicine Hat we make a point of eating here. Great food and service.

Brisket and honey glazed cornbread. Even if I had only had that I would have still been fully satisfied. Will definitely be returning many times.

Passing through on our way to Regina. As a true Texan this was a decent barbecue joint. Brisket was tender (although not as good as Texas). Barbecue sauce was thick and bland, a disappointment, but brisket could hold its own. Loved the pickles and onions (refreshing) and the sweet potatoe fries with chipotle mayo was the best I have ever tasted. Ceasar salad was really delicious too. Coleslaw was decent and a nice selection of beers on tap. I would love to see some better options for BBQ sauce and real ice tea. Service was outstanding and I would come again.

Criminal Pilot

Really good food and friendly staff both times I went. Overall, the BBQ is above average but not excellent. Have definitely had better. The brisket and pulled pork were a bit dry. The wings were good but a little small. Sausage was good, …

Milo Gloss

Amazing service, amazing food, just an amazing all round restaurant. Highly recommend to anyone that will be stopping in Medicine Hat or Redcliff

Mark Anderton

We ordered two full racks with the three sides for take out and were very disappointed in their so called "St Louis Ribs". Very poorly trimmed as the brisket bone was still on a lot of pieces. The ribs may have walked by the smoker but did not spend any time in it. I don't mind a little tug on the bone but these I could not get the meat off - very poorly done. Potato salad is an aquired taste; but not ours. The baked beans were great as was the cornbread with honey butter.

Great smoke house in Medicine Hat! Friendly staff in a challenging time. Good vibe, great food! They also serve mainly local brews.

Peter Hicks

The brisket here is ridiculously good, best in the city.

OMG!!! They should not be called Skinny's....large portions. Excellent value for the $$. Would not have ordered what I did if I had known how big the portion was. Good thing I now have leftovers. Will definitely be back next time we come through Medicine Hat

Roxanne Fuller

Best choice we could've made for our lunch. The tater tot pie was phenomenal. The Ranchy Chicken was excellent. Definitely going back when we pass through again.

Tatiana Flores

Today was my first time in Skinny's. I checked some reviews before go (including 1star comments) and for me it was a really nice experience. Our server was super kind and friendly also recommended me one of her favorites sides because …

Great service. Great food. Spotless washrooms. And t shirts too!

AJ Frey

Delicious, tender meat! Nice sides, great service!

Kyle

Skinny's was an incredible place to stop. By far some of the best BBQ I've had, end of story. The atmosphere was great and the service was top notch. I recommend this for any size of group or even just on your own. I personally got the porkzilla and it was an awesome presentation to go on top of how delicious it was. I'll definitely be back soon. You should too.

Wesley McGregor

Amazing staff, and portions, they made us feel right at home.. will return over and over for some amazing bbq

Stop motion for kids

I love this place, every time I’m in Medicine Hat I have to stop by and get my favourite meal two & two, simply amazing

Stacey Goett

Food was stellar! A few more visits to the table from our server would have been nice, refills etc.

Bobby Gushlinger

Place had great staff with delicious BBQ and insane value! Walked over from the hotel with an entourage and expected to have $50 dollar meal. Had the 3 by 3 for $23 dollars and had to take some to go. Next time I'm in the Hat I'll be coming back.

Yum. The dry season on the popcorn is great. Meal served on butcher paper is fun. Seems expensive until you realize how much food is served!

Jeff Moon

I had an extremely disappointing meal at Skinny's. I have lived in Texas for a year and know what good BBQ tastes like, even bad BBQ. This is neither, it was awful. The brisket was extremely dry, zero moisture left. The "premium sausage" was also extremely dry. Luckily I had their sub-par BBQ sauce to try to soak the meat in. They also didn't have any pickles.... What is BBQ without pickles. The service was also extremely slow and inattentive. I do not reccommend this at all. No idea how the reviews are so good

Bill Fong

Came out of our way to come eat here. We skipped eating fast food for 400 kilometers to eat here. Highly recommend this place. Excellent brisket and ribs. Try their sandwiches and sides. They're great!

Hans-Peter Knoepfli

Went there August 9th, invited friends for dinner looking forward to some great BBQ. The service was friendly and courteous. We chose the 3 plus 3, the sides where excellent, not the meat! Thought we'd go there for some succulent BBQ. What we got was pulled pork that was so dry and overcooked it almost hurt swallowing it, same story with the chicken wings, bone dry meat, cooked to tinder likely all day long, I'd be ashamed to sell something like this. My wife wanted brisket, sold out, chose ribs instead, sorry sold out too. What BBQ place has no meat at dinner time?? We would have been happier with delicious A&W spicy chicken burgers and it would not have set us back $160.00!! People, check out all the 1star reviews , they have a thing in common, the food is severely overlooked. They have no idea what this is supposed to taste like. If you know good BBQ you will be disappointed.

Sioney Mendoza

Great BBQ. We had the 3and 3. It was delicious! Service was great!

Tracy Klempner

My husband and I went for a date for lunch, and showed up at 11. We were the only ones in there, and it took our server a while to take our order for food. The food was fantastic, but again, our server didn't stop in to check on us until we had completely finished our food. We weren't offered dessert, so when I asked her for the dessert menu, she went to grab something, and came back to verbally tell us the three options they had. We ordered the brownie pie? A $7 piece of hard brownie (more like fudge) with a cookie crust and some aerosol whipped cream on top. I ended up having to grab my own water from the tray of water glasses because she hadn't stopped by again to check on us. A lovely gentleman brought us our bill at the end. Great food. Crummy service.

September Plumer

I heard this was a choice place to get some good eats and was not disappointed. The moment you walk in and smell the flavours you know you are in for a treat. Food presentation was on point. Food taste - amazing - everything was delicious. Really good selection of beverages. Can't forget the staff - friendly and courteous. We will return.

Just had a work lunch, food was fantastic and service was really bad, out of the four staff only one waitress (unfortunately not ours) was working. Our waitress disappeared for the entire meal, asking us how it looked and did we want the bill, there was a bearded guy, oblivious to the waiting tables ( too busy taking pictures of sandwiches for social media and watching speeding cars out of the window) and another lady in pink jeans working on her laptop, to her defense, she did decide to help after all the food orders started pilling up and as the food was getting cold, thought she better help. Food was awesome but service needs improving.. takeout next time.

Samantha McConnell

Just had the buffet, it was delicious!!!! The brisket was so tender and seasoned perfect! I was able to cut it with a butter knife. All the staff we encountered are professional. Atmosphere on point!! Loving it. Definitely will be back!!

Cody Hartwick

Nice shiny new building. Beef brisket was done perfectly. Pulled pork could use a bit more flavor but it was tender. The sides were decent and the servers were fast and friendly.

Brian Saranchuk

Good but not great. Open clean concept building, friendly staff. Pricey for the quantities and overall quality.

Rod Parsons

Amazing food for the price. Very friendly service too!

Skip Nubla

Ate here twice in a row... the consistency of flavors was there! Amazingly delicious food!!!i ordered 3meats and 3sides, with that amount of meat for a decent price, its a sure WINNER!When are you going to open in edmonton? Cant wait to eat there again! Thanks Shayna and Chuck!

Larry Geddes

Cold beer, nice patio, great staff, and YUMMY food!! :)

Barry Fleming

The service was excellent and the food was amazing! I brought leftovers home for a late night snack.... but I'm still so full i couldn't possibly eat another bite! Highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

Judy Urschel

Incredible, as usual! Enjoyed having our 30th anniversary supper here this year!

Tom H

I ate the 2 by 2 which is two meats and two sides for 20 bucks. Service was really good and I like the brisket and the garlic potato. The white sauce was also good. I would try something other than the wings and the coleslaw next time, not that they were bad, just not as good as the other items.

Dustin Doucette

The aroma as soon as you walk in makes your mouth water. The food was delicious, service was amazing and great atmosphere!!

Sara Lee

Food was amazing! Always is. Our waitress did not wear a mask nor did the bartender the entire time we were there.

Great fresh BBQ! I tried brisket, chicken and pulled pork and all were excellent. The fries were quite heavily spiced with the house spice. While I enjoyed it, my elementary aged son and nephew found the spicy fries too much for them. While this is probably a matter of their specific tastes, I’ve found that many kids tend to have a narrower palate, so less-spiced fries for the kids meals would be appreciated. This is a minor complaint though. This is a great restaurant overall, and a recommended stop if you’re passing through Medicine Hat.

Dok Yqr

Really enjoyed this. Tried a bit if everything. Brisket was very tender, melt in your mouth. The riblings and ribs had wonderful flavour across the smoke, rub and sauce. Very unique, and still totally fit a BBQ taste. Even the chicken had a nice rub that works real well with the smoke. I'm definitely going back.

Randy McClelland

Got a take our order was fantastic. Good to see Todd,and Sharla. Sherice was great on the order. Had a drink until order was ready. Great atmosphere.

Jacob Starker

Enjoyed lunch here the other day for the first time, and as a big BBQ fan I can say that this place will not disappoint. I ordered the 3&3 meal, with brisket, wings, and sausage. They were all great, brisket being the star. The sides were tasty as well. The waitress (Renee) was very polite and her suggestions were great. Would highly recommend, this will for sure be my go to place whenever I'm in the hat next.

Kelly Lenek

First time I had eaten from this restaurant of which I ordered fried chicken sandwich and smoked turkey and bacon sandwich.Both were fantastic as well as they baked beans were killer.

s hamelin

We ordered in door dash for Mother’s Day. Placed the order 20 minutes later we get a text from door dash saying the order was cancelled. The door dash driver arrived at the restaurant to find it closed. Very disappointed. I’m sure we were not the only disappointed customers on mother day. We won’t order from them again. Not our first time having issues.

Chris Morrison

This is our favorite place to eat! Recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Sandra W

Love it. Food was ready in 10 minutes and tasted amazing. I will be stopping again on my way back to BC. It's a must stop. We need one in BC.

Michele S

Since this placed opened I have always stopped and supported it anytime I go through. Tonight was no exception..being a truck driver I rushed all day to make it in time tonight . Hours Say 8pm Sat May 8th 2021. I pulled up out front called in an oder at 7:50 to be told orders were done 10 min ago. Please change your hours to when you will actually serve customers....like 7:30pm. I Expected more from an Alberta company, especially during these times and just going into another lock down yet again. You just lost another customer for good!! Go support another business that's trying hard to make it during these times!!

Now, that was some amazing BBQ! I took advantage of both the Three & Three and the Full Rack of St. Louis Ribs. My mouth is salivating just writing this review as I recall how good this meal was. Delicious! Even the side choices were incredible. I find in a fair bit of BBQ restaurants I've visited they either have amazing BBQ but, miss the mark on sides or vice versa. Not at Skinny's. The Tater Tot Pie, Corn Bread with Honey Butter and the Baked Beans..... amazing!
