Skinny's Smoke House - Medicine Hat

This use to be by far, my favorite place to eat. I have ate here lots over the past few years but since the new changes to the menu i wont be back. my 2 favorite dishes were no longer available. The 3x3 was my favorite , 3 meat 3 sides for $32.00. Now the 2x2 is $30.00 , less food more money . 3 year customer , that won't be back . Why change a good thing.

We came on Sunday of a long weekend. The place was empty at 7pm, but according to the hostess, we just missed the dinner rush. It 's probably faster to list what they had than what they didn 't have. When we ordered drinks, we were told that there was no draft beer, because their pipe burst. We ordered the brisket, and we 're told they were out. We ordered the tater tots pie and the mac cheese as a side. After about 10 minutes, the server informed us that they were out of chili and therefore couldn 't make the tater tots pie. After another 10 minutes, the server stopped by to inform us that they were also out of mac cheese. How that came up so late is inexplicable to me. Mind you, I could make fresh mac cheese in that time. When the food finally came, it was cold and bland. The ribs were so dry that they were pretty much inedible. This was not just an off night but appears to be a pattern based on previous reviews. It 's been a while since I had a meal this bad.

We had 2/2 for $29. Sooo worth it. We left with so much food and we ate until stuffed. The brisket melted in the mouth and the mac cheese was mind-blowing! The ribs were perfectly cooked and sauced. Our server was very pleasant. We very much enjoyed our dinner.

I was super excited to visit as I was in medicine hat for meetings. The meal was great but the service was ridiculous! I walked in and waited as I wanted to order takeout. I stood there for 5 minutes until someone walked by and took my order. I ordered the 2 x 2 special with a drink and was told it would take 15 minutes. I told her I would like a cocktail while I waited, and she told me to sit at the bar. For the 15 minutes I sat down waiting, no one came to take my order. My food was ready and someone brought it to me and I walked out. Halfway to my hotel, I realised my drink wasn 't in the bag so I had to go back! The hottess apologized and when I mentioned I waited 15 minutes for my cocktail order to be taken, she said I thought the other girl would come to you absolutely ridiculous as she was the one who told me to wait at the bar!

Went to skinny’s back in august 2022 and fell in love. Ate there almost every day I was in Med hat. Fast forward about a year I find myself back in med hat. (2023) Was so excited to eat there again, until I realized the menu was half the size, no more craft beers and and no more devilled eggs.Food came out almost immediately and well… not very warm. The best part is I woke up with the worst food poisoning I’ve ever had (yes it was this place as it was the only place I ate at, had it for lunch and dinner.)Then I had to drive to Calgary from med hat to catch a flight back to BC while trying not to destroy the inside of the rental car from my body wanting to evacuate my digestive system at either end. (Had to upgrade to the premium cabin for my flight to ensure I was close to a bathroom.)The service was great!
