Hamilton's Best: BBQ & Smokehouse

BBQ & Smokehouse

Excellent
Saltlick Smokehouse
8.3Saltlick is clearly a smokehouse: brisket, ribs, smoked pork, sausage, pork belly nuggets, fried chicken, and sides are organized around a shared barbecue meal rather than a generic comfort-food list.
Charred Rotisserie House
8.5The house identity starts with chicken cooked over hardwood charcoal, then carries that smoky profile into piri piri sauce, chicken meals, sandwiches, and sides. It is not a broad smokehouse menu, but the grill defines the visit.
O Cantinho Churrasqueira & Cafe
9.4This is a churrasqueira first: whole and half chicken, ribs, grilled fish, sausages, and piri-piri do the heavy lifting, with takeout-friendly portions for a full family meal.
The Dirty South
8.3Pulled pork, brisket, ribs, barbecue sauces, and slow-cooked comfort dishes make smokehouse food one of the main reasons to choose it.
