Lancaster Smokehouse
Kitchener, Canada
The read// why locals go
The Lancaster Smokehouse smokes its meat on Lancaster Street West, in a Kitchener building old enough to have earned its patina, and has become the region's default answer to where the ribs are. The kitchen runs on southern barbecue discipline: low heat, long hours, hardwood smoke, and sides that are cooked rather than scooped. Brisket, ribs and pulled pork anchor a menu that changes at the edges, and the beer list leans on Ontario breweries. It is a single independent location, not a franchise, with a dining room and patio built for long tables and slow afternoons. Locals treat it as an institution without it having become a tourist stop.
