This was the first time we've been to Southern Junction.

We ended up ordering the 2 meat platter with pork and brisket, milk bread, cardamom corn bread with brown butter, potato salad, coleslaw, a barbacurry foldie and banana pudding. Where do I begin? The food was excellent and the flavor combinations brtween the smoked meats and Indian spices were amazing. I never thought brisket with coconut curry would be so good. The coleslaw is delicious with roasted chopped peanuts on top giving it an extra crunch and nutty flavor. The cornbread was so tasty and not dry, especially when you dip it into the brown butter. The pulled pork has an extra seasoning sprinkled on top that gave it another layer of flavor that complimented the smoked meat well. Both the pork and brisket were moist and tasted even better with the hot bbq and coconut curry sauces. My husband enjoyed the potato salad more than I did only because it had a strong mustard flavor, which is personally not my favorite condiment. That's just my taste buds though! The foldie was a naan bread (I believe) filled with meat and slaw and a curry dipping sauce. Delicious. The banana pudding was very good as well. I'm so glad I have leftovers that I'll be eating shortly!

There did not appear to be any lights on inside (including the lights of the "Open" sign on the door). There was one older gentleman standing inside, glaring out the window while talking on a phone, but that just made us uneasy to approach the door. Drove by around 7:30pm the same Saturday night. The "Open" sign was lit, but the place looked empty.

Great southern smoked food , unique cocktails and craft beer choices!…read more Shared BBQ BFF platter with my father , every part of it was smoked and rich in flavour. It came with brisket, pulled pork , sausage , chicken, ribs and two sides. The Corn bread melts in your mouth , and the mac and cheese side would even be perfect as a main ! My cocktail "smoke and mirrors", had a strong pear taste with a full brandy body. Definitely needs another staff member or two as the drink specialist was also serving the whole restaurant, taking orders and greeting. Including the outside. Although at times we were waiting , for example to pay as it got busier although we waited a while for our bill and drink refills but, it never felt excessively long even with this crutch. Price for quantity, taste , and its classy ambience and style make this place a must go in St. Catharines, even the whole Niagara Region !

I hope everyone gets to sit in Drew's section because he was a great server! Just a beautiful soul! My food was delicious as I got two 3 meat platters in order to try all the meat options. Brisket was tender and had an amazing outside bark. Ribs were delicious. Chicken was seasoned beautifully. Kielbasa was awesome. Pulled chicken was alright. Mac n cheese was good, not great, but good. Cinnamon apples tasted like pie! Cornbread was great especially with the maple butter! The baked sweet potatoe was to die for! The smashed potatoes were good too. My server, Drew, was amazing. Very attentive and very well mannered. His mama raised that boy right! Gave us options and checked on us throughout our meal. Thank you for such great service Drew! I wish the boss was there because I wanted him to know how pleased my party was with you! I hope he reads this! My date and I can't wait to come back!

I found a diverse selection of meats; pork, beef, poultry and various fresh water fish and seafood. They also sell some beef jerky sticks which are off the hook. I tasted smoked shrimp for the first time and was impressed with how amazing it was. The smoked salmon here is their biggest seller, which they were out of when I was there so I ended up purchasing some white fish instead. I suggest calling ahead for the salmon during the holidays. The white fish was succulent and very tasty as they use their own secret brine to enhance the flavor of the finished product. I used the whole white fish as a center element on a cheese board for a Christmas party and it was a big hit.

Such a nice sight to see for a small,north end "watering hole" The smell from their smoker made it impossible to not get wings, and let me tell you, they are THE BEST! Full of flavour, crisp outside but juicy and meaty wings. Not little tiny wings fried to nothing. We shared the Nacho Rancheros, a Turkey Bacon Club with the sweet potato fries and The Romby's Burger with fries. This burger was MASSIVE and AMAZING! Definately not a frozen burger patty..this was the real deal!! Also , we were SO pleased to see REAL TURKEY ( we found out that they smoke their chicken wings, turkey, pork, brisket and BACON in house) As the bar filled up for the live music that night, the server still made sure we were tended to and upon settling our bill, we were happy to agree that we had a FABULOUS time. We will definately be back!

The appetizers of shrimp fritters and French onion soup were generous portions but salty; the bison burger was outstanding and juicy. The pastrami sandwich was lovely with lots of thin slices of meat between grilled rye. I look forward to trying their BBQ!
