My friends and I are a big fan of The Smoke in Collingwood. After a few hours of snowboarding, it's great to kick back with a beer and ribs. The waitress had mentioned to us last year they were opening a new location in Vaughan. We were very excited.
Ordered pulled pork, ribs/wings combo and a rootbeer float (contain alcohol).
The pulled pork was good, almost exactly the same as the one in Collingwood. It's sauced up with their bbq sauce (the blue sauce). The portion was smaller then at the other location though. Not sure if that's the norm.
The cornbread is not the same as the other one, it's usually a bit spicy which gives it a nice balance from the sweetness - but this one did not have that at all. It was a bit disappointing.
The wings were great! Really like them! very flavourful!
The ribs were o-k. Didn't taste like it has been smoked. Did not fall-off-the-bone like at the other location. It was also a bit dry. =(
Room for improvement. And please do so, because i'm such a huge fan of the Collingwood location so I know it's possible.
Oh yeah, the service was good + quick and our waitress checked in with us frequently so that's the same as the other location.
