Now, if you're a carnivore, read on because the boys at Big Bone BBQ know how to do it properly.
At the time that I write this, I think the restaurant has been open for 2-3 weeks, and I've eaten there, oh, I don't know...8 times? Yes, it's near where I live (Aurora), but having said that, I'm the type of guy who will travel for good eats, and I'm just happy that I now don't have to travel far for great BBQ.
Now, this is what BBQ is supposed to be, a small, unassuming location with nothing fancy about it. On your table you'll find a menu, a roll of paper towel, a bottle of BBQ sauce, a bunch of wet-naps and well, that's all there should be.
I haven't tried everything on the menu, but what I have tried has been fantastic. Messy, sticky, BBQ deliciousity!
Everything that I've tried has had their signature sauce on it and that sauce is great. I've had the pulled pork sandwich, full rack of ribs, smoked wings and fried wings.
The meals are served with your choice of baked beans (made in house), coleslaw, cornbread or french fries. All are excellent sides to the meaty main course.
The smoked wings are really flavourful and I'd definitely recommend them.
The pulled pork sandwich is so succulent and tender, served on a fresh roll. This is not a sandwich for the meek...it is big, and it can get messy...but it's sofa king good, and a meal by most standards. Made from a big smoked pork butte, it's got all the flavour you could hope for.
The ribs are really what I like though. You simply cannot get this job done properly without a proper smoker, a great rub and far more hours at your disposal than most people are willing to invest in order to make them at home. They use pork side ribs which are nice and lean. A full rack is a killer meal...you need to have a big appetite to do this single handed. Luckily, I've got what it takes to get the job done. I'm 7 for 8 at eating everything I've been served...I really over did it on one visit...but that's my problem sometimes.
The guys who own the restaurant (brothers Tim and Lee) are truly great people who actually love what they do, and it shows in everything they prepare.
The service is excellent, the portions are very generous, and the place is exactly what they set it up to be...a proper BBQ joint. They've also assembled an excellent bunch of combos that allow you to try a few different items without having to order full portions.
There's no liquor license, they take cash or debit and there aren't a ton of tables or seats.
Get in, get stuffed, get out. I'm sure they could carry you back out to your car too if you needed. I'm 8 for 8 on making it back to my car unassisted...we'll chalk that up to experience.
