S	Shannon Hill on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Was their on Feb 19/22 friend took me out for birthday dinner and I had smoked chicken and side of garlic mashed potatoes the potatoes were hotter than my chicken owner comes out says how’s everything I tell him food is not hot-sends it back to get heated in oven and comes out again luke warm at best. Told him was good and that point why bother. Will never be a returning customer
R	Rory LaRocque-Walker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve been wanting to go here ever since I heard they were turning it into a BBQ joint. There were three of us and we got the three meat full pound platter (ribs, brisket, pulled pork) and a side of baked beans and Mac and cheese. The food was DELICIOUS! The meat was so tender and juicy. They have homemade in-house sauces to add to the already succulent flavour. The sides were just as good in their own way. One of the owners came to ask us how it was and talked to us about their smoking process which added a nice personal touch. He recommended the smoked blueberry ice cream which peaked my curiosity. I was glad I gave into that curiosity as the ice cream had a unique in a good way kinda flavour. It was like everything else, delicious. I’m so glad we came here and will definitely return. I wish I took pictures for anyone reading this as the food looks as good as it tastes.
R	R Ramjohn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very busy. Grabbed some food for takeout. Ribs were tasty. The spicy Andouille sausage was not spicy. Sweet potato fries were good. I would advise to eat them hot.
D	Donna MacDonald on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My family took me here as a birthday treat. Had never been before but have wanted to try it out since they opened. The food was really very very good. 3 of us ordered the brisket and the other ordered the ribs. We all chose the 2/3 lb portion and it was more than enough. No need for a knife, the brisket fell apart on your fork and was absolutely delicious. The ribs fell off the bone. The lattice fries were an unexpected delight, crisp and tasty. The live entertainment was great. The artist had a wonderful voice and his music was not too loud, played mostly pop rock songs that made you want to sing along. The restaurant was about half full, there was one server and the owner yet the service was friendly and we did not have to wait long for our food. We were too full for dessert but I want to go back and try the smoked ice cream. Overall I strongly recommend The Transit Smokehouse to all meat lovers (no vegetarian or vegan options)
K	Kym Hodgson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Checked out this restaurant for the first time for my Dad's birthday. The food was absolutely amazing!!! Loved the history and the atmosphere inside. They had some great old tunes playing and we were told eventually there will be live music playing over the dinner hours. Felt like we were somewhere down south and gone back in time in all the best ways! The staff was great and the owner even stopped by to say hello and check in! Highly recommended checking it out!
R	R B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dropped in on a Saturday night for a date night. We had no idea what we were going for, we just thought it was cool that the old building had been bought and wanted some BBQ. Walked in and realized there was live music, as we were taken to our seats the atmosphere of the place was great. Our server was really nice and helped us make some choices. We got brisket and sausage as well as fries and ceaser salad and everything was yummy. The owner/manager came and spoke with us and was really friendly and asked how everything was. Even the musician came and spoke with us for a moment. We had a good time with good food and music and will be back!
P	Payman Parseyan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s refreshing to see this 113 year old historic building still serving the same way it has been from day one. This can’t be said for most of Edmonton’s historic buildings. The smoked brisket was so tender that you could cut through with a plastic straw! The restaurant said that they are using certified angus beef and the quality was obvious right away. I also tried the family size portions (very big) of the sweet potato fries, dirty rice, and mashed potatoes. All of these items were great! The food and the vibe remind me of a road house bbq somewhere in Texas or Louisiana. It was refreshing to have the owner speak to us after we ate the meal to make sure we had a good experience.
H	Harrison Sheremeta on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finally made it to the Transit to try the new bbq joint out and it was fantastic. The three of us ordered a four-meat platter with a side of Mac and cheese and corn bread and it was more than enough food that we took some home. The meat was very tasty, particularly the brisket. Both sides were delicious as well. We went for dessert after and ordered the ginger cake (AMAZING) and the smoked blueberry ice cream (very intriguing and delicious as well). One of the owners, Ray, stopped by our table to ask how things tasted, which was appreciated. There is love music every night as well. I will be back for more bbq!
