Meat lovers rejoice! Smoken Bones has moved into Victoria from their original location in Langford.
One of my favourite spots. Their pulled pork is the best in town (better than Pig...sorry guys). If you like meat, get the BBQ taster!
Smoken Bones uses local ingredients and is a member of the Island Chef's Collaborative.
You will know you are near the restaurant when you can smell the BBQ.
The yam fries are great...and so are the carrots. There is a reason they have been rated one of the top 20 places to eat in Canada. -

The Good: Free WiFi, friendly and professional service, interesting mixed drinks, comfortable atmosphere (though the music was a little loud). The BBQ was great quality and a good price.
The Meh: The fried pickles consisted of 5 pickle spears (not whole pickles) deep fried in possibly the worst batter imaginable. Soggy, corn-dog type batter that didn't work with the pickles at all. I've had deep fried pickles in the past and they seem to work best with a much crispier batter (cornflake etc.) The smoked tomato soup earned points by being non-cream based, but lost points with the inclusion of tomato stems? Stick-like seasoning bits? I was spitting out things that reminded me fish bones with every couple spoonfuls.
The *facepalm*: If you're going to have the kitchen clearly visible from where people stand to pay, make sure your kitchen staff keep their fingers out of their noses. -

Great portion size. Hot wings that where spicy hot, pulled pork and beef brisket with a nice smoky flavor service with a smile salad and soup of gargantuan proportion(more than my wife could eat)! Location within walking distance of several hotels.
Only negative was all the deep driers are used for everything so those with allergies must beware. -

I was really excited to come her with my friendsas I heard great things. I have to say i was a bit dissapointed. we got the meat platter and I've had better. The pulled pork and yam fries were my favorite part. The ribs, both pork and beef were not very tastful or tender at all. and there were many cuts ofthe brisket that were too dry (there also were a couple juicy pieces as well). Lastly i didn't feel our waitress was that outgoing or welcoming, We all went thirsty for the majority of the meal. If I was to come here again it would be to try the chicken.

This place is a party for your mouth! Good food all smoked up and grilled, I love coming to this place. The Langford location was always a bit low rent, but we went for the pure enjoyment of heaping a ton of food on our table and digging in. Now it's convenient, downtown and a little bit more upscale. I'll go along with Mark H. on the yam fries - big, thick and delicious. It's always been a place that you should call ahead, particularly now that they are downtown.
