I had been planning to write this review for some time now as I've been to The 420 Smokehouse a handful of times for both brunch and Dinner.
I was originally drawn by the name and I thought it was hilarious when I spoke to the owner and she mentioned that it was all a coincidence and she had no idea of the implications of the name of the restaurant.
This place serves good food and has a very inviting atmosphere with simple decor and very friendly wait staff.
The pulled pork is great and not overly saucy. I find it strange that I would say this but the smoked meat poutine while good, is swimming in way too much gravy and I wish it had just a touch more smoked meat on top. Every time I had gone they raved about their burger and I finally tried it last night... I was underwhelmed and won't be ordering it again as it was under seasoned . I wished I had ordered the smoked meat sandwich instead as it is simply fantastic. Their 420 Caesar salad is quite good and they do it proper with a touch of anchovy paste from what I can taste. Also their grilled octopus appetizer was rather delicious I just wish there was more of it on the plate.
I have been there a few times for brunch and their menu changes slightly every time. If you get a chance to try their fried chicken and waffles or their Turkey sausage and cheddar biscuits with fried egg and gravy you are in for a treat.
I do find it very strange that they do not offer refills on coffee. Granted they give you a huge mug but personally I would rather have smaller mugs with refills so that I don't have a cold coffee by the end of my brunch.
Also, I wish they would bring back the deep fried mushrooms. They were awesome
