Holy Smoke BBQ

Pork ribs are one of the pillars of this growing smoked-meat empire. Order as many individual ribs as your stomach will hold with coleslaw and cornbread.

Bookers BBQ Grill & Crabshack

316 3rd St SE, Calgary AB T2G 2S4

Smoked meat, crab and live blues music figure heavily into a visit to Bookers, where the rib options are saucy and varied. You can open with a smoked beef and pork rib appetizer, order the St. Louise style ribs with sides as well as get a half rack on a combo plate or as part of massive mixed-meat sharing platter.

The Blues Can

1429 9 Ave SE, Calgary AB T2G 0T4

Blues and barbecue were made for each other, and the New Orleans style pork ribs entree on The Blues Can’s Cajun menu was made for you. Let the blues be your soundtrack as you do your own finger pickin’ (and lickin’) on slow-braised New Orleans pork ribs slathered with Louisiana barbecue sauce and served with veggies, celeriac slaw and a choice of side.

A family-friendly Southwestern-style eatery in Deerfoot Casino, Mohave Grill serves a mean rack o’ ribs. Go for smoked pork side ribs with a barbecue-sauce glaze in full or half rack, or double down on half a roasted chicken with half rack of ribs.

Nick's Steakhouse & Pizza

5
2430 Crowchild Trail NW, Calgary AB T2M 4N5

It’s a Calgary steakhouse institution, but have you tried the ribs? The baby back ribs are served in combo with a moist chicken breast or on their own smothered in house-made barbecue sauce. Both entrees are served with veggies, tossed salad and garlic toast plus choice of rice or potatoes.
