If everyone mentions that fotze sent you, you get 10% off and fotze never has to pay for lunch again.

This is the main reason I am on CP. I drive around the city all day and am looking for good quick restaurant places.

I emailed Holy Smoke about this thread. They said now that they have a liquor license that they may look at staying open late for Flames games

Considering we're in the heart of cattle country, I've always been surprised that BBQ places aren't more prevalent here.

THIS makes starting this thread worthwhile!

Has anyone been to the Palomino? I've heard they had good pulled pork sandwiches. How does it compare to Holy Smoke?

For me, the pulled pork was so so. The sogginess threw me off. But all the different types of sauces, sides, ribs, and the atmosphere made up for it, and I will definitely be going back. I don't feel as gross as I do after having a burger from Rocky's!

I didn't mind Palamino's, but it's been awhile since I was there. I'm just not a fan of the location downtown

I really want to check this place out. Too bad they close so early. I was too lazy to cook at home today... so I drove half way to Thi Thi for a viet sub. But going to this place is more like driving across the city. I'm gonna have to be extra hungry and extra lazy to go.

I thought the pulled pork was great, and other than a homemade version its the best I've had. (I say this partly because the amount of effort to make this properly just makes it seem so much better by the time you are eating!).

I will be back for sure. That being said I wouldn't encourage them to open for Flames games unless its a special event. I like it and all, but can't see sitting there watching hockey...I don't know if that would worthwhile for them.

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children, of all ages!! Come one, come all to the Holy Smoke BBQ and Smoke Pit.

That was a great meal.

Small Pulled Pork with the Jack Daniels sauce.
Two ribs and a piece of Corn Bread <- Yes. Its cake.

First of all. I need a nap.

Second of all, that was great, it was everything you'd want it to be, I had to wait a bit because an entire company's front office walked in just before me and even then I only waited like 5-10 minutes.

That is a a lot of food. The ribs were great, I could have had like maybe 2 more if I sacrificed the corn bread which is an unthinkable travesty.

I dont like toasted bread, so the pulled pork sandwich was perfect, it was nice and moist.

All in all, highly recommend it. Oh, and the girls taking orders arent too hard on the eyes either.
