Something has gone horribly wrong here. This very review was once a 4/5 stars. I suggest all that have given more than 2 star reviews to eat here again and update your reviews. This place should be rated WELL BELOW the 3 stars it has.
I went to the Smokery during its first week or so of operation and thouroughly enjoyed the meal although it was a bit pricey.
I returned a few months later, and what I found was SHOCKING to say the least. Every single item on their already over-priced menu was raised by $5. That means a pulled pork plate with mac and cheese and corn bread now cost a whopping $20!!! Unbelievable!
The other terrible change was that the food was COMPLETELY different than my first visit. The pulled pork was obviously of the grocery store microwave packet variety. Simply putrid in taste and consistency. The coleslaw was completely different, and now flavorless.
I am so disappointed. After my first visit I was happy that we had a decent BBQ option in Stouffville. All I can say now is that they have KNOWINGLY cut massive corners and started serving flavorless microwave quality BBQ. They probably had tons of business the first few weeks and then started greedily reducing quality and raising prices to maximize profit.
I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN. Even if they bring the quality back up and cut the price to a reasonable level, I simply can't eat here out of principle. They are greedy and have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what good BBQ is. You can get real BBQ that's actually really good for about half the price if you take a short drive outside of Stouffville.
This place is called The Smokery and I'm pretty sure the only thing smoking, is the frozen pack of pork as its pulled out of the microwave.
