Bigg Smoak = Steinbach Smokin Hawg = Harbour View. Originally 2 different companies, but it looks like Bigg Smoak took over them over last summer.

Smokin Hawg cooked everything beautifully but the meat and the sides all had absolutely no flavour.

I went to a place about 5 years ago on Grant and Pembina (name escapes me) but they had brisket that was dried out almost like jerky. They also had pulled pork that was also dried out and chewy.... that I consider poorly cooked. The place at harbour view was juicy and the sides were all made well (proper texture and fresh and moist). Everything just lacked flavour when I went. The rub on the brisket tasted only of pepper and the potato chips had no seasoning on it at all and the other sides just tasted like nothing. They didn't even have a bbq sauce to use as a dip. It was however cooked properly unlike that first place I went to. When googling for the name of that first place.... I found this link: https://www.iheartbbq.ca/ Has anyone been to this place?

Well, if you can't get your car in & out of the driveway that is a big problem. But those homes on Jubilee have backlanes & garages so...

They literally have an entire bridge they could have people line up six feet apart on. Or send the line down the sidewalk...

They'll put down some markings for social distancing and line people up. The drive thru idea wasnt bad...they could have tweaked it with, perhaps, more staff but there is a maximum number of treats you can make at once.
May 11, 20205 yr comment_473551 Sidewalk would be better than the bridge. A lot of people walk/bike/blade etc over that bridge during a day.
