What customers say?

“ Smoke on the Water – A BBQ Lover’s Paradise! If you're a fan of bold flavors and comfort food done right, Smoke on the Water is an absolute must-visit. This place delivers on every level, starting with their brisket — hands down some of the best I've ever had. It's rich, juicy, and bursting with that perfect smoky flavor that only true BBQ masters can achieve. The deep-fried mac and cheese is outrageously good — crispy on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside. Pair that with their classic coleslaw and signature BBQ sauce, and you've got yourself a plate of pure happiness. What makes it even better? The atmosphere. You’re dining outdoors on a dock, with the water just steps away — it's relaxing, scenic, and the perfect complement to the comfort food experience. Whether you're a BBQ connoisseur or just looking for a great meal with a view, Smoke on the Water is the place to be. Five stars and then some! ”

“ One of the few BBQ places in Sechelt, but this one has the best location. Right at the end of the wharf in Gibsons over looking the marina. It's a small walkup place where you order from the menu and can either takeout or sit out back. It's very small as only has a couple tables or a couple rows of counter seats. But the views are amazing while you munch on the food! We ordered the platter for 4 and a smoked jackfruit sandwich. The food came within a reasonable amount of time. However, we sat at a table outside so we could see the kitchen prep area. Heard the sound of microwaves and seeing the cook cut into plastic bags to pour out the meat. I was bracing for a pretty bad food experience. The meat portions seemed a tad small (for a $120 platter). I wish they included BBQ ribs, it had everything but ribs. Surprisingly, the meat was pretty good. Very tender and tasty, although I felt the pulled pork was a bit under sauced. The chicken breast was very moist and had Alabama (vinegar based) sauce on it, not my favorite but flavourful. The jackfruit sandwich was probably the best tasting part of all the food. Tender jackfruit in a rich sauce (we actually asked for more of that sauce so we could use on the meat). The highlight of the platter were the sides. Huge mountain of crispy fries with seasoning salt. The fried mac and cheese squares were crisp on the outside and nicely al dente inside with a decent amount of cheese flavour. The corn flan were like mini quiches, but not as dense. Nice big pile of kale coleslaw with vinegar dressing (tasted like the same one no the chicken breast). The bread was nice, ciabatta rolls buttered and grilled so they were soft and flavourful. We ended up making a couple of mini sandwiches with those. The beans were under cooked so they were not the soft baked beans we were expecting. ”

“ Perfection! The owner really takes pride in his food and it shows. From the house made drinks and hot sauce to the hand cut fries - everything is made with care and en pointe. We both had the smoked sock eye salmon baguette and it was amazing, with a side of fries, lemonade and iced tea. Fantastic with a water view - can’t beat it. ”
