Rolled in around 2 pm on Friday after the lunch hour rush. Tom, the proprietor, was there and greeted me with a friendly intro to the various meats (smoked brisket, turkey, salmon) and made suggestions on food and beer. I settled on a Reuben, which was somewhat unusual (smoked turkey, cranberry, cheese: toasted). It was a solid, tasty sandwich. I wanted to try the beef and Tom obliged bestowing a free sample of some brisket, home-made mustard, and a pickle.
Also had a nice chat with Tom about his travels, the chandelier and history of the building housing the smokehouse, and the recent Calgary floods.
The spot seems to have a good mix of local regulars and tourists (eg from a nearby hotel arts).
Great local lunch spot. Wouldn't hesitate to drop by again.
