The order process is not the normal procedure. They dont have wait staff. You scan a bar code & order from your phone then someone brings you your food. Each person pays for there own items or everyone has to share a phone to make there requests. The app asks you for a tip. Tips in my mind happen from good service. Not just 3 different people dropping off your orders. Having stated the above the place is very expensive. 1 beer 2 tacos & a starter salad cost 60.00 plus tip. Last note is gluten free option are limited. The ones they do have cost extra. Be aware.View more

10/10 experience with Smoque Shack catering our wedding. They brought their food truck to our venue & then served our dinner family-style. They also stuck around & did our late night snack from the truck. We got a lot of great feedback from our guests that they thought the food was great & that they had more than enough food portions-wise. The timing of our service went really well, & we also liked how the food was presented on the tables. Tyler was hands down the fastest vendor to respond to our emails & questions, too, & accommodated our requested changes with no issues & a great deal of flexibility. We were aiming for comfort food where our guests would feel relaxed, comfortable, & satisfied, & Smoque Shack definitely delivered.View more

We used Smoque Shack for wedding catering for our September 2023 wedding. We loved that the food was made in the food truck on site so everything was warm & fresh. Tyler was very quick with communication & accommodated all of our requests to add/change things throughout the planning process. Everything ran smoothly the day of & we received many compliments from our guests on the food.View more

Food was exactly what we wanted. We got the fried chicken sandwich, brisket sandwich, & corn bread & were left very full & happy. Everything tasted great & the portion sizes were more than fair.

Smoque Shack catered our wedding & the food was phenomenal! It was nice to have something outside of the traditional wedding meal & our guests have told us they thoroughly enjoyed it as well. We served it family-style & there was more than enough food as well. I would recommend Smoque Shack to anyone looking to cater a wedding (or any other event).View more

The place is so mid. The cider was watery & the amount of pulled pork I got for my $18.25 was sparse & just ok. You have to order on your phone or at the bar to get table service.View more

BEST FOOD IN OTTAWA!
We hired Smoque Shack for our wedding caterer & could not be happier! Their food is to die for. We had so many compliments on the food. Tyler & his team were great to work with.
We have eaten Smoque Shack at Beyond the Pale multiple times as well & always leave thinking that they are THE best food in Ottawa.View more

Just OK. Service was good, restaurant looks worn out. Food is reasonably priced but mediocre at best.

Service was great. Atmosphere is fun & pubby. Tables are a little small & too close togeather. Food had good flavour, but was a bit over done, touch dry.

La nourriture était délicieuse, mais les côtes levées étaient un peu coriaces.

Everything tasted great although my friend who got the jerk pulled pork said it wasnt really "pulled pork" it was still pretty solid.

The waitress was really nice & knowledgeable, but she would bring something to us & be gone so fast we couldn't ask her anything else. I would have understood if the restaurant was really busy, but it wasn't.

Otherwise it was great.
