Barbecue season never ends at the Palomino Smokehouse!! Situated in the heart of downtown Calgary with the largest smoker in Western Canada. All of our meats are smoked low and slow everyday as we go through pounds of BBQ classics such as Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork and Ribs. Our Smoked Chicken, New Orleans style Catfish Po'boy, award winning Chili and rib-sticking Macaroni & Cheese are also extremely popular with the locals. All of our BBQ sauces (House, Chipotle and Carolina Mustard) and Rubs are made in-house and are gluten free. On weekends we feature the famous Cowboy Brunch, our BBQ-inspired take on breakfast classics which are available for both early and not-so-early risers. We feature a large selection of beer, whiskey, bourbon and other spirits to quench your thirst.

    New menu is good. Brisket sandwich is outstanding. Miss the chilli that’s no longer available though. Otherwise, all good.

    The washroom upstairs was not clean. Based on that we probably shouldn't have eaten there.

    Only gave a three on the food as unfortunately they were out of the two appetizers we wanted to order. Disappointing. The main courses were great!

    I was disappointed with the blackened haddock po’ boy. The filet was small and did not have much flavour.
