Enter and there is space for 3 people max. Indicate what you want and he'll bring it out for you. Credit cards taken. Seems like everything is made from scratch. See my pics. Super friendly owner. He used to live in Vancouver in the Kits neighbourhood. He gave me a free pack of butter tarts because I was a first time visitor. $15 value. If there was one critique I'd give, the meat pies are slightly under seasoned. A little salt and you're good to go. The quality is definitely there, no question. Pies are frozen, so take out only. Major CC's accepted.

Yeet! Yes i know-- why eat bbq when you are in the land of…read morefresh fish and oysters and other yummy crustaceans. Welp- i visited in a month without an "r" and hence oysters are not the most ideal...apparently. And my kids are the meat and potatoes type crew. Coming from Texas i was alittle skeptical, but that quickly faded with the hometown hospitality of the smoke on the water staff. The big friendly guy took our order- amused my kiddos- and we were ordering lots of bbq on a pier. Ordered- BBQ beef sandwich- delicious sauce with a little bite Meat was requested for the leaner cuts and was fulfilled. No blobs of fat, and just lean tender meat. Poutine with pulled pork/bbq beef /bacon - fries were crispy, hot , and potatoe filled - meat was on point - cheese curds were curding/ melting and stringy Both id say were 5/5! So moral of this review is that you dont need to question why you are ordering bbq on a pier, near so much water, on an island only accessible by a ferry. This place reps well, and has mucho bbq aura. The seating is alittle limited, just patio high stools and counter tops. You view the marina and could see some whales or seals pop up

Tried Smoke on the Water BBQ while visiting Gibsons and had a mostly positive experience with a few…read moremixed moments. We ordered the brisket platters, and while the portion sizes were generous, the brisket was on the fattier side and could've used a bit more seasoning overall. The mac and cheese had great flavor and that classic comfort-food vibe, though it was a little dense. The corn flan was just okay...nice idea, but it didn't totally come together for me. We also got the chicken wings, and I have to say, we were impressed! They were actual full wing pieces, not tiny or over-fried, which was a nice surprise. There's limited seating, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go or casual quick-bite spot. All in all, solid BBQ with potential, but I'd love to see a bit more seasoning and balance in the dishes.

Right next to Backcountry I have bought many treats from here (as you can see this is a bakery) and the place is great. Whether you need a light snack, like a healthy cookie, or something a bit bigger, like a sandwich, this place has you covered. One of my favorites is the pretzel they make, it is so good, and I just want to rip it apart every time I have it and I am driving away, I think... maybe I should have gotten an extra one. They serve coffee here as well, and sell loaf's of bread. The staff is great here as well, no seating inside, this is a place where you will occasionally line up, but it moves along fast, and it is so worth your while when you are here in Squamish.

I love Greek food and have wanted to try this restaurant for years. It's got a nice dining area…read moreinside and outdoor patio. We ordered takeout. Service was prompt, everything was ready on time. The calamari was good, everything else was only ok. The dolmathes had an odd-looking sauce on them and didn't taste like others I've tried. Chicken souvlaki was ok but the roasted potatoes were barely browned. The Greek salad needed more dressing or more zingy dressing, and it would have been better if the feta had been left in bigger pieces: it was finely cut up and added an almost grainy texture. The baklava was disappointingly soggy and it seemed like a simple syrup was used rather than honey. Know before you go: a gratuity is added on takeout. I don't like giving a bad review but with just a few small changes this restaurant could be so much better.

What a mistake waiting so long! We had the seafood platter (divine), several tapas (delicious), drinks (fantastic), and dessert (perfect ending). The portions were generous, the food was fresh and bursting with flavour, and everything was beautifully presented. What truly made this night unforgettable was the service. It was honestly some of the best I've ever experienced - from our server, to the hostess and even the manager ... everyone was genuinely kind, professional, and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and clean, with a relaxed, family-run charm that made us feel totally at home. I'm officially obsessed. Do yourself a favour and eat here!

Really everything was excellent- the ling cod fish and chips (flaky fish and very nicely seasoned fries), Mega Mushroom Swiss Burger (great house sauce and tender patty), Grilled Cheese (so, so much butter), Root Beer Float (big portion), Strawberry Milkshake and Mozzarella sticks. But my absolute favourite was the PBJ and Bacon burger. The juicy patty topped with the combination of peanut butter, bacon and red pepper jelly is out of this world.
