| - I've been to Holy Smoke once before, and after seeing a BBQ place featured on Triple D (Diners, Drive Ins and Dives) last night, I couldn't stop thinking of Holy Smoke pulled pork sandwiches. So, I added Holy Smoke on to my list of things to do today. I've been on a three week unexpected vacation, so my to-do lists are getting pretty thin :)
I got to HS around 11:15 am and ordered the small pulled pork sandwich, macaroni salad and black cherry soda. It came to just under $10. There are at least a dozen different kinds of sauces to try on your sandwich, I was a bit overwhelmed and just went with house sauce. The meat is great without the sauce, but if sauce is available, I will always add it! The sandwiches come with coleslaw on top, which adds a crunchy texture, and the buns are soft. The macaroni salad is good too, nice and creamy.
I don't know much about how smoked meat is suposed to taste, this is the first smoked meat bbq place I have eaten at, but I think Holy Smoke is A+. A great addition to Calgary, different from typical quick-lunch stops, and very, very tasty!
Two recommendations for lunch-break visitors:
1. Sit outside if you have to go back to work in an office. I left 2 hours ago and I still smell like a camp fire.
2. Try to come before 11:30 am if you don't want to wait in a long line. They get really busy right around 11:30 am.
