“2024 October 4★
3 year consecutive Michelin rated since 2023 (23, 24, 25). Can certainly say it's good, though have had some definite contenders just as good.

The OG Sando combo $19.50
Large Cajun Waffle Fries
The sandwich with their signature sauces and spices along with a slaw and pickles inside. Pretty good. The waffle fries were great.

4 Pieces Plain $22.00
Pieces of chicken are huge. Spices and sauce just as good. Juicy and tender. Though the chicken without the spices/sauce wasn't very flavorful.

Overall, prices are reasonable. Definitely worth checking out.“

“This is a great little gem in Toronto's Junction neighborhood. The brunch was delicious. We had the specials. Their home fries are the most unique and delicious fries I have ever eaten. They also have a cool waitlist option that they use to seat their guests. The servers are very polite and friendly.“

“I went yesterday evening with my family for my graduation. The ambiance was beautiful with warm lights and plants everywhere. Our server, Javier, was very attentive and funny! And of course, the food was excellent — even today, our leftovers were flavourful. Ordered 3x brisket mac & cheese, 1/2lb brisket, pulled pork mac & cheese, sliders, tacos, buttermilk onion rings, shoestring fries and potato salad.
All of the food was amazing, but my family raved over the brisket mac & cheese and the buttermilk rings. Tender, melt-in-the-mouth high quality meat. So good.
Will definitely come again.“

“SmoQue N' Bones delivers some of the best BBQ in the city! The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfect, and the smoky flavor in every bite was unreal. The sides? Just as amazing — especially the mac and cheese and cornbread.

The vibe inside is laid-back and cool, and the staff was super friendly and quick. Whether you're a BBQ lover or just hungry for something unforgettable, SmoQue N' Bones is a must-visit.

Can’t wait to come back and try the whole menu.“

“Came here with three of my close friends and we had such a great time—lots of laughs and good vibes all around. The food was absolutely delicious! The smoked chicken wings were full of flavor, the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked, and the sweet potato fries were crispy and addictive. We also really enjoyed the potato salad and the cornbread—both were spot on. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!“
