Reviews for Red Lion Smokehouse in Thunder Bay, ON
Visiting Thunder Bay, came here based on the review. Ordered a half rack - they brought out a full. The ribs were cold, tough... and didn't taste great. Might have been Saturdays leftovers. Asked to sub the coleslaw out for fries due to an allergy. Chargedfull price for the fries even though I wasn't getting any slaw. Beer was very tasty and served quickly but I won't be back. Read more
Darn good ribs and Mac and cheese!!! Friendly wait staff, good service, all I could ask for. The ribs were not over cooked and... moist. The rub was gentle but evident and the bbq sauce was a sweet and sticky mixture that complimented the ribs wonderfully. Iordered a side of Mac and cheese to round out a perfect meal combination. I would recommend highly and come back next time intown. Read more
We dined on the patio. The weather was nice and the tables were fairly busy. My goat cheese salad was delicious, and my husband... enjoyed his chicken Philly cheesesteak. Our server was attentive. The standout was the fried banana peppers - so unique! Read more
All I need to say is mushrooms tacos...that's it, that's my whole review. Those babies were so delicious and that sauce?! That... sauce! Smother me in that sauce please! I tried the pulled pork, and fish tacos as well- they were very tasty but nothingcompared to the mushroom one. A really great selection of local beers (a particularly varied IPA list!) We were a large groupand our food came quickly, our waitress was very friendly and joked around with us all night! Read more
The menu carries typical North America foods, also included a variety of taco options which I had. The Taco's were a good size... and tasted very good. Outdoor patio dining available. Read more
Vegan options, vegetarian options and tons of beer! Loved our meals here everything from the vegan pesto pasta to the deep... fried olives and MASSIVE plate of potato skins you won?t be disappointed with the food here! Service and seating was decent andthey have over 13 on tap beers! Great place to hang with friends as they have so many cool events happening. Hours are as seenin the photo below.

A pretty good little restaurant downtown Thunder Bay. We were recommended to head there by our hostel, and could see the people... on the patio from a block away. It was very busy for a Saturday night which was great to see as the rest of Thunder Bay seemedmostly dead. The food was good - my husband had the maple burger which he loved. I had the pulled pork sandwich, and have to behonest wasn?t a huge fan. The pork was a bit too smoked making it slightly bitter and it overpowered any other taste there mayhave been. Great selection of beer, though we got ours warm which I didn?t love. But it was busy so I couldunderstand. Overall, a good restaurant to visit on a trip to Thunder Bay. Read more
Went for dinner with colleagues, the space was open which made it great for our larger group! I opted to go for the 3-course... meal from the seasonal northern delights menu. The confit duck crepe was a nice switch up for a starter, and I really enjoyed the main which was smoked squash gnocci. Personally, my main dish was not as visually enticing as the crepe but was hot andcomforting for an autumn dinner. I was hoping to have the white chocolate pumpkin mousse but it wasn't available so opted for acoffee crisp tarte which was unfortunately not really even okay, and a little too sweet. For the price point and location Iwould definitely go back. Read more
