What Makes BBQ So Special?
BBQ is more than just a cooking method. It is an art. Smoke, heat, seasoning, and time all go into creating a flavor that is rich, savory, and deeply satisfying. BBQ brings together traditional techniques and local flavors to create a unique experience.

The Art of BBQ in Canmore
When it comes to BBQ, there's much more than just grilling meat. Real BBQ connoisseurs know that the magic happens when it's cooked over low heat for hours on end, sometimes even over wood or charcoal, giving the meat a deep, smoky flavor. The beauty of BBQ lies in its versatility; there are endless flavor variations due to the different meats, rubs, and marinades.
At The Bankhead Restaurant & Lounge, we pride ourselves on our BBQ creations. Each piece of meat is carefully marinated and slow-cooked so that the flavors develop perfectly. Our pitmasters use wood to give a subtle smoky flavor, enhancing the natural richness of the meat. Whether it's our perfectly charred ribs, melt-in-your-mouth brisket, or savory pulled pork, we believe that BBQ is an experience that should engage all your senses.
The Smoked Meats We Serve
BBQ Ribs: Our BBQ ribs are low and slow cooked for hours to ensure every bite is full of flavor. The meat is rubbed with our signature rub, a special spice blend that enhances the richness of the meat. The result? A mouthwatering experience that's hard to forget.
Pulled Pork: Our slow-cooked pulled pork is marinated in a savory sauce that infuses the meat with flavor. After hours of cooking, it's shredded to perfection, delivering a smoky, juicy bite in every forkful.
Beef Brisket: Tender and flavorful, our brisket is seasoned with a special rub and smoked to perfection. This dish is a true representation of BBQ in Canmore, offering melt-in-your-mouth tenderness with every bite.
BBQ Chicken: Our BBQ chicken is marinated for hours, then slow-cooked over wood for a smoky flavor that's perfectly complemented by a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce.
Vegetarian BBQ: We haven't forgotten about our plant-based guests! Our BBQ cauliflower and vegetable skewers offer a delicious smoky flavor that rivals any meat dish.
