Big T's BBQ & Smokehouse

Omgoodnessssss! This place is amazing! It was our first time here, and we will definitely be back! Our server Mairi took such good care of us, she was super kind and had great food suggestions, and she was right the brisket is crazy good! Portions are massive and the menu is very reasonably priced. Thank you for the great service and amazing dinner tonight!

We were greeted as soon as we entered the restaurant, super friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was so helpful and kind. We ordered the deep fried pickles to start. Seemed like they used a cornmeal base for the batter, which created a super crispy shell. We also ordered the brisket platter with dirty rice and baked beans. Brisket was super tender. The baked beans were smokey with a hint of sweetness and the dirty rice was super flavourful. We also ordered the Lean Mean T’s salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was super moist and full of flavour. Loved the blackberry vinaigrette. Food came out not only fast but accurate, overall experience 4/5. Definitely worth a visit!

Big T's is reliable. We have ordered takeout from here a ton, but I recently ate in-house, with a large group of people from out of town and realized that I had never left a review. I love the coleslaw which is tangy and vinegary and provides a nice contrast with the meats. If you are a meatloaf fan, theirs is done right and generous enough to make a sandwich the next day. Their platters are extremely well portioned and will feed a crowd, often giving enough for leftovers also. I like my cornbread sweeter than I find here (just personal taste) but I ADORE their hush puppies. The fried dill pickles are perfect and the baked beans have beautiful flavour as well. The meats are the star of course, and honestly, I have enjoyed everything I have tried (all of them). Eating out is getting increasingly expensive. Big T's still represents a good value for the amount of people you can feed and the food that you receive.

Was in town and had a craving for some BBQ. I decided to check this place out with some friends. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the portion sizes were generous. Nice selection of sauces are provided with the meal. We will definitely be coming back for more.

Very OK meal. Host was nice but our server had zero personality, seemed checked out - was borderline rude she seemed so unhappy to be there. Ribs were average, they provided 3 sauces and I tried all 3 and they were very basic, not very flavourful sauces. Hush puppies were good, but corn bread was so dry. I liked the spicy slaw, but it had the spice level of black pepper. Overall, an OK meal at an OK price. Surprised this place was on a TV show, definitely not memorable in any way.

Food was ok. Arrived in Calgary late so I thought a salad and chicken breast and a smoked sausage as a appy. Everything was flavoured well and came relatively on good time. I was expecting a bit more with the salad the very expensive salad I will add. Inflation has hit everyone hard but the 21.00 $ salad was nothing special cherry tomatoes, 1 bell pepper ring a few slices of cucumber.

If you are looking for good food, great ambiance (usually sporty) and excellent service. This is the place. The food is fantastic, always at the right point. The service is excellent. Going to a place without feeling you are doing a favour is essential. In this place, you will receive lots of smiles and the sensation that they care about how pleasant your moment was. My kids, wife, and I love this place and always choose it for family moments and celebrations. Thanks!

St Louis ribs with original sauce was tasty and fall off the bone tender. Yummy homemade mashed potatoes and steamed El dente veggies to boot... Only thing missing was warm butter for the corn bread. My son got the baby back ribs w original sauce and fries. Loved every morsel! Waitress was pretty friendly, but run off her feet as she waited on the entire restaurant solo. Would be nice to see hostesses helping out the server, but she was doing it all including bussing her tables as people completed their meals. Great central location near McMahon Stadium and U of Calgary.
