   Good location in downtown for an after meeting with customer in a very casual relaxed ambient and if you are craving for some brisket and typical pulled pork and other bbq staples. Service is very fast and food is good. Service is great, they are accessible and ready to serve and help you

   The food was cold for all of us. The Fish Po'Boy sandwich only had fish on one half. I will never come here again. Used to be one of my favorite places.

   Four of us dinned here before a show. Super disappointed in the food given this is now owned by concord group. I had pulled jackfruit and my friend had the haddock po boy. The bread was not fresh (buns were hard) on either and the filling just fell out. The other two folks had a bbq assortment and it was ok. The food quality is not up to par with other concord group establishments. Won’t be back. There is much better quality bbq in the city at a better price point.

   I took my partner here for his birthday and we both loved it! The staff was nice and attentive. It’s such a treat to have a more relaxed place with delicious food downtown near the Calgary tower. I hadn’t been to Palamino before, but we will definitely be going back!

   Met my kid and his band members for dinner before their performances. We made reservation for 6 and ended up with way more and the restaurant was VERY accommodating. I had the pulled pork meal, was delicious. Meat was tender and juicy with a ceasar salad and beans as a side. Husband had the beef dip with garlic fries and coleslaw. We shared the bourbon apple crumble for dessert. Prices were reasonable. Will definitely return.

   I ❤️ Palomino Smokehouse. The bbq is delicious. The ‘fixings’ offer a good variety of choices, also delicious. The service is great as well!

    The Palomino Smokehouse is a great place for ambiance, great food and service. Only draw back is the parking.
