   I'm not sure what the hype is for this place. The electric smoker with applewood provides no smoke flavour. Every sauce option is overly spicy or sweet. They boast a solid drink menu with excellent top shelf options yet the Bartenders haven't a clue how to make them and they're over-priced. Brisket must've been a few days old. Beans are meh at best. The cornbread and bacon wrapped corn are delicious but if sides are the best bet why go? You'd get better value and flavour at McDonald's.

   The Palomino is always the best. From the greeting to the good bye when you leave. Everything was outstanding. The appetizers were cooked to perfection. My client had the special he almost ate the plate. I had the chili and it was above and beyond anything I have ever had in the chili category!! Thank you Palomino I will be back again soon.

   This was a very disappointing lunch. The restaurant was not busy - we arrived at 11:55am and we had to ask the hostess to send our server over for our order. We ordered lunch at 12:10 and received it at 1:15. We checked multiple times and received no reason for the delay. The food came out as ordered, but not hot. Unfortunately will not be going there with a client again.

   Server was amazing and was happy to split our Fat Platter into 5 separate bills. Food was great, plentiful and hot. If I have a criticism it would be to clean the bathrooms regularly and wash down the condiments containers.

   This was my first time eating at the Palomino Smokehouse. The food and service was terrific and the interior décor is so amazing and rustic. The meal portions are generous especially after adding sides. I would highly recommend.

    A wonderful Birthday treat for my Husband. We booked for lunch and was glad to see an atmosphere at 1145am! Seems a busy spot even more so at peak times. Service was great, staff were friendly and available to accommodate. The food was incredible, hot and fresh. It was a great experience.

    We went April 2,2022 before a concert at the Palace Theatre. Service was very good, food was hot and price isn't bad. My husband had ribs and there wasn't much smoke flavour and I had the smoked chicken wings and not much smoke flavour. They were all tasty though and never had such piping hot food for a smokehouse

    A great spot, love the dry ribs. Chairs we had were in rough shape and it was quite cold near the West Wall. Was out of our favorite beer and limited menu also.

    Nothing special, bar/smoke house. Felt welcome but service was nothing to chear about, not bad just fair. One had burger, was good but should warn people comes pink inside and/or give option how you’d like it. One had pitboss sandwich, again was tasty but seriously down sized from what it used to be, No longer worth $22.

    This place is grubby and uninviting. Terrible music was played way too loud. Too bad because the food is decent but we won’t be back. .

    Our server was amazing so nice and told us about her fave breakfast food at the restaurant. She is definitely a great team member to have and your lucky to have her! (Black hair and long eyelashes) The food was also very good! The corn bread was very yummy. The only thing was the garlic fries (still good) but a bht to garlicky for us! Over all I would say 98% for everything!

    I went looking for corn fritters, corn bread, soup and none of it was available. They were even out of one of their special on tap beers. What happened Palomino?
