While in Nanaimo the other day for an appointment we developed a bit of hunger as it was 1 pm. We were  close so we popped over to Smoking George’s BBQ on Mostar. Had not been there for several years so was happy to find it still open. 

This joint specialized in low and slow Texas style BBQ including Brisket, Pork, Ribs and Chicken. It is a really casual place. You order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. 

The place was spotless and the service prompt. We opted for Brisket, mine in a bun. Sheila’s without. And it was good. Maybe not as good  as the famous Franklin’s in Austin, bit still pretty good. The Cole slaw was fresh and tasty with a vinegary dressing. 

BBQ can be messy with all that sauce but not to worry. Every table is equipped with a whole roll of paper towel. 

They serve beer & wine too but a limited selection. And it’s reasonable too. My Brisket on Bun was only $13. And they make their own Cornbread which looked yummy. 

Next time I will try the Pulled Pork or maybe the Smoked Chicken. 

If you are a BBQ aficionado you must try Smoking George’s. Open for lunch & dinner.

They sell their own BBQ sauce and Rub as well. Really delicious. 

Just saying…
