PALOMINO SMOKEHOUSE REVIEWS
I have tried almost everything on their menu and nothing disappoints. If you are looking for great BBQ , value for money, and one of the friendliest places to eat at, then this is the place for you. Stand out items for me are the rib rub smoked wings, Bourbon apples, and their burnt ends. Can't recommend this place enough.
This has to be one of my favourite restaurant/pubs in Calgary. The food is amazing, great service and a great venue. I've been going once a week for the last month. If you want a good hang out spot and some good smoked food then this is the place you want to be.
Brilliant. Lively bar/restaurant. Had an excellent meal. We only had one night in Calgary and Palamino was recommended in our guidebook and by a local. Glad we found it.

HAYDEN BLOCK SMOKE & WHISKEY REVIEWS
Had a great lunch at Hayden Block to wrap our Calgary visit. We came without any expectation but found a real gem. The sliced brisket sandwich was definitely our favorite but we also liked the salads and brisket plate. Good draft beer selection and an impressive whiskey/bourbon list (as you would expect from a restaurant with that name) makes it a real fun place.
Wow what a fantastic selection of whiskey and scotch from around the world. The back patio is ideal and very cosy for date nights. You must try the wings, cornbread, fried pork belly and the beef short rib! The smoke from the food is a match made in heaven with a good scotch. The service is also on point and you won’t be disappointed.
Beef short rib is amazing,tasty. Brisket is also nice with their house made sauces. All the dishes are unique and tasty. Highly recommend for BBQ lovers. Perfect place to hangout with friends and family having a drinks.

BIG T'S BBQ & SMOKEHOUSE REVIEWS
Absolutely amazing experience here. The service was friendly and quick and the restaurant was very comfortable. The food was the store of course! We got the $60 platter and everything on it was great. The Brisket and the ribs were our favourite. We also got mac n cheese on the side, which was amazing! All of that fed 3 people which I think is pretty amazing for such a popular and high quality food serving restaurant. Thank you, and we are so excited to come back!
We had an excellent meal here this evening. Fantastic meatloaf, excellent dirty rice, delicious spicy coleslaw and a very nice hazy IPA. Our server was great. The vibe was friendly, relaxed and generally happy. A variety of seating options in a super clean room with interesting, subdued decor. A win all round with very fair prices. My husband loved his pulled pork sandwich as well. We will be back.
We got the platter and it was an excellent choice. Enough food for 3 people. The food is very tasty and the staff members are very friendly . I’ve gone to a few different bbq smokehouse restaurants in the past and this one is definitely the best.
