F ew barbecue destinations in Manitoba have developed the loyal following and reputation enjoyed by Bigg Smoak Bbq Smokehouse & Grill in Steinbach. What began as a passion for authentic slow- smoked barbecue has grown into one of the province’s most talked-about smokehouses, attracting guests from across Manitoba in search of genuine Southern-style barbecue done right. The restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere blends rustic smokehouse charm with a casual, family-friendly dining experience where the aroma of hardwood smoke greets guests the moment they walk through the door. Warm wood accents, hearty portions, and friendly hospitality create the perfect setting for a memorable barbecue feast. Bigg Smoak has become especially famous for its expertly smoked brisket, a menu item that our barbecue enthusiast readers describe as worth the drive to Steinbach. The brisket is slow-cooked to achieve exceptional tenderness while maintaining
the rich smoky flavour that has become a signature of the restaurant. Another must- have item is the St. Louis-style ribs, praised by our readers for their tenderness and bold flavour. Burnt ends have also become legendary among regulars, with many readers calling them one of the standout items on the menu. Pulled pork, smoked chicken, and the restaurant’s generous multi-meat platters round out a menu designed for serious barbecue lovers. Our readers consistently highlight the quality of the food, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere. Diners frequently praise the moist brisket, flavourful pulled pork, and tender ribs, while others note the restaurant’s cleanliness and welcoming staff. One reader described the burnt ends as “to die for” and praised the ribs as tender and packed with flavour. Another reader, and longtime customer, called Bigg Smoak one of their favourite restaurants, applauding its consistent quality and excellent service. The Bigg Smoak pop-up food trailer has earned equally enthusiastic praise. Manitoba barbecue fans regularly recommend tracking down the trailer when it appears at events and festivals, noting the same high-quality smoked meats and generous portions that made the restaurant famous. Online community discussions also frequently describe the brisket sandwiches as massive, flavour-packed, and memorable, while many barbecue enthusiasts consider Bigg Smoak a destination worthy of a special trip. Whether enjoying a full barbecue platter in the smokehouse or grabbing a brisket sandwich from the food trailer, Bigg Smoak continues to deliver the authentic smoked- meat experience that has made it one of Manitoba’s premier barbecue destinations, and that has also got them a place on our Canada’s Best BBQ List.
