The BBQ Brisket Chili was made with a blend of smoked brisket and sausage, beans and spices. This was a super hearty, thick and smoky brisket. The chili was spicy and had layers of flavour including a layer of melted cheese on top. The Smokehouse Pulled Pork Nachos was layered with melted cheese, roasted corn, black beans, jalapenos, and green onion. The tender pulled pork was hearty and smoky. It was one of the best nachos I've had recently.

The BBQ Platter featured pulled pork, chicken, sausage, double order of beef brisket, a full rack of ribs, coleslaw, fries, cornbread, pit beans, hot potato salad, pickles, and white bread. The beef brisket had smoky bark that gave way to fatty meat. The pulled pork was just as good as in the nachos; the sausage was tender and smoky. The chicken wasn't as dry as it appeared. The full rack of Pork Back Ribs came with fries, cornbread, beans, and coleslaw. Charred and smoky, the ribs also featured a beautiful bark. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, but meaty. There was a significant char on the outside creating an even smokier caramelization. With a heavy BBQ sauce glaze, there was plenty of moisture and tangy sweetness.

The BBQ Pit Wings were really large and executed flawlessly. The skin was well-rendered while the meat was juicy and moist. The dips further enhanced the meat. Loved the hot sauce mixed with the dressing. The Smoke and Bones is one of the better BBQs in town. We will be back from some nachos real soon!

Smoke and Bones BBQ

999 Marine Drive, North Vancouver, BC

The Good:

 • Legit BBQ

 • Sides are also quite good

 • Other items on the menu like the nachos and wings are well-executed

The Bad:

 • Like any BBQ, better get the meats at the optimum time
