Chef John Brooks and John Catucci, host of Food Network Canada's "You Gotta Eat Here" share a moment during the filming of an episode at the Cookshack in May 2012. 

Smoken Bones Cookshack is the premiere destination for barbeque on Vancouver Island. Meat is naturally wood-smoked on-site, yielding fall-off-the-bone meaty succulence. Smoken Bones Cookshack burgers are also hand-crafted in-house, as is every slice of crisp salty bacon, juicy sausage link and wedge of delectable smoked cheese.

Pair these gastronomical delights with Smoken Bones Cookshack’s own Smoken Bones Ale by Phillips Brewery, or one of the other delicious Phillips beers we have on tap. In true southern fashion, Smoken Bones Cookshack offers unblended margaritas and an extensive bourbon list. Want something a little different? Try the bacon-infused vodka.

Less than 2 blocks from Save On Foods Memorial Arena, Smoken Bones Cookshack is the perfect stop for before or after the game or concert. No local events? Come watch the game on one of the big-screen TVs while rewarding your taste-buds. No game to watch? Take in a Smoken Bones Cookshack live-music show.
