Lancaster Smokehouse is a local favorite, we typically do pickups as they are really busy. But this…read moretime we ate in. The parking lots is usually full, but there is free street parking across the road. Just drive around and see where everyone is parking. The smokehouse has large seating on the ground floor and event space on the upper. There are lots of tables and booths to seat any party size, they also take reservations. We went with 6 people and all around us were groups. The main area seems to be able to sit 50+ at least. Service staff are great, they refill and provide all the containers you'll need to get going. We ordered the Family Deal and couldn't finish. Most people have take out bags when they leave. It's that type of place. - we got the 1 lb pulled pork, 6 smoked chicken wings, beef brisket, and full rack of ribs - mac & cheese, red beans & rice, dilly coleslaw - sweet potato fries, and tater tots It took about 30+ mins for the food to come out since they needed to put everything together. We finished maybe 40% of it. The rest were another two meals at home. Over the years, the price has gone up considerably, but the quality and quantity is still a great value. Definitely bring a group and any visitors from out of town. From previous visits their pig tails, sausage are also great. My favorite is the ribs, mac & cheese, red beans & rice, and the tater tots though. Definitely will need to try their fried chicken and Back of House pizza (attached outside for takeout only) next time.

Came here for lunch with my boyfriend during the week hoping to fill the craving I've been having…read morefor some good BBQ pulled pork. The service was fantastic from the moment we walked in the door until we left. Our waitress, Diana, was fabulous the whole time we were there. The food was a different story unfortunately. The meat itself was really nicely cooked, tender and tasty. Where it lacked was in the sauce - I was hoping for that through and through saucy dripping tender meat, but was left with just a pile of pulled pork and some BBQ sauce dumped on top. Not a lot of depth in flavor. I got REALLY excited when I saw Mac n Cheese as an option for a side, but was incredibly disappointed in it. It was watery and SO bland. Kraft Dinner was gourmet in comparison. It might have been the worst mac I've ever tasted, not even black pepper or ketchup could save it for me. My boyfriend got a similar meal but with coleslaw and cornbread on the side as well. Coleslaw he said was so-so, and I tasted the cornbread which was good but 99% sure it's store bought. Overall, probably wouldn't return unless it's to buy just meat.

The combination plate was a good size and the bean sprouts and chicken tasted good. Now the rice! It was hard, too much soy and not much taste. I would drop the star rating to a 3 but the other food was really good and the service was exceptional. They came by and filled up the Jasmin tea all the time and friendly service with a smile. It's a small place, not too many seats maybe 20+

Ironically, I randomly found this place on my way out of Six Nations, but after seeing the smoker…read moresetup from the road I FLIPPED my car around on that tiny side road without hesitation (and I actually already ate before this). I'm not even joking this is seriously some of the best smoked brisket I've had in YEARS. And smoked mac and cheese too?? With affordable pricing?? Yes please! This little bbq joint is even better than the most popular gourmet bbq spots in Hamilton and even Toronto. Yes, it's that good. I got a smoked brisket slider (they gave me a sesame burger bun because they ran out of slider buns) with smoked mac and cheese and bro that shit slapped. Words can't explain it enough-- you need to physically come here and try it yourself. I'm literally salivating thinking of how good it was. The portion was also extremely generous for the price as it also comes with a pop of your choice! Plus the most beautiful hand-built garden patio seating to enjoy your food is just amazing. Service was okay, while the girl at the front was really sweet she lost my order even though it was super dead and I lowkey would've ended up waiting even longer if I hadn't come back up to check. What went from a 5-10 minute estimate turned into half an hour and when I asked how much longer it would be I was told they ran out of slider buns. They made up for it but I was still like bruhhh. It happens sometimes so I get it, but just a note for improvement. It wasn't enough of an inconvenience to affect my overall experience or thoughts on this spot. Anyway 999999999/10 I am absolutely returning. I usually come to Six Nations for cannabis but I literally will start coming more often just to eat here. And I live an hour and a half away lol. The feeling of being able to enjoy amazing food with beautiful scenery away from the busy city is indescribable. How does this place not have more reviews?!

Worst experience at Kentucky this past week. My friends and I have been here before and the only…read morething I've really gotten prior were the Mac & cheese and calamari which were both nothing special. We went on a Friday for dinner and drinks assuming it would be a good time. My friend and I ordered the shrimp hush puppies. We waited extremely long for our order only for the waitress to come out and tell us our food had been burned so we had to wait for a new batch. We received our shrimp hush puppies which had virtually no shrimp in them. Just tasted like fried cornmeal that we payed way too much for. On top of that, I found a shrimp tail in my hush puppies. We also ordered a side of fries. Our fries were soggy and looked old. Definitely not fresh. On top of that, we found half a potato in the fries. Not cut up or cooked or anything. Just a potato in our fries. We all also ordered whiskey sours which were not good. We've had whiskey sours before but Kentucky somehow managed to mess those up to. We also noticed that most of the bartenders and cooks and waiters were not wearing masks even though mask mandates are still in place. Our waitress wasn't really attentive and we had to wait long before getting her attention each time. Only go for the vibes but the food and drinks are not worth the price at all.

It is still a good bar with great bar foods and meat dishes. I love the options of the smaller sides especially when drinking with friends. I would highly recommend their pickle back shots and also pickle spears! This place is super fun but lost a star for the change in price and also could use more of a party vibe during the later hours (with louder music/drink deals).

Order at the counter: Standard burger with fries, Curry & Goat cheese poutine, Classic Canuck pizza. Burger was good, juicy, soft bun, with standard toppings. Fries are good, fresh cut and well done. The poutine was amazing. Curry & Goat cheese really hits hard! This would be even better with chicken (next time). The pizza was amazing. The dough and sauce are made from scratch and it shows! Lots of cheese, the pull was crazy. This will be our new regular spot when in the St. Jacob's Market area!

My coworkers burger was prepared correctly and very flavorful. Fries were fries.

The fries were excellent, rosemary and the sweet fries! The fried chicken(which was pieces of chicken, I think was chicken thighs). The pulled pork was good as well. It's a huge place with a lot of seating and outside patio as well. Great service but only one person taking orders! A little odd! I would definitely come back again!

April 16/2022: Dinner with friends for this review…read more Simply put...this was a mediocre meal with a queen size price tag! I'm finding restaurants are downsizing portion sizes & upsizing pricing. Even charging for items that were once free such as condiments, sauces, etc. We ordered two appetizers to start. The burnt ends spatzle & cheese as well as the German beer & cheese dip. Both were good but not great as I'd hoped. There seemed to be little flavour from the dishes. My main was the pulled pork sandwich with fries. Also had a side of jalapeños corn bread. The sandwich was good but once again was missing the "umph" that I was looking for. The corn bread was simply beyond dry & close to uneatable. I'd of asked for some butter but that would have been an up-charge, I'm sure. All in all, a bit disappointing as I was expecting some extreme flavour from this place! Our server "Anna" was very polite & did a good job. I don't think this is a redo.
