    Great place to go with friends and get BBQ meats and side dishes to go with it. Went on a Monday night so it was slightly quieter than usual, but I bet Fridays and weekends the atmosphere would be great. Side dishes are varied and also portions are decently sized. Price for BBQ meats are decently priced as well for the quality of the food. For meats highly recommend the apricot pork belly and brisket, both were tender and well seasoned. For trays I recommend the blueberry burnt ends. For sides I recommend the spicy fries, baked beans, and house slaw (just to balance out all the meats). Serving staff were patient, kind, and fast.

    Really nice spot for beer and bbq! Definitely swing by for happy hour when the pints are on special. The radler and hard iced tea were delicious. As for meats, the brisket was my favorite. Order by the half pound. The pork belly was great too. The chicken wings were mediocre. Loved all the sauces!

    I like the atmosphere, the decoration and especially that on Saturdays they have live music, I have gone twice and for my bad luck the brisket was very dry: / I didn't like it, however everything else was super delicious. They have a "Pisco" cocktail and I love that because it is difficult to find restaurants that include pisco on the menu, I found it delicious I always recommend you to book if you go on Friday or Saturday

    Great Beer Selection and Excellent Cocktails While I didn't have the chance to try the food during my visit to South Block BBQ in YYC, I was thoroughly impressed by their extensive beer selection. If you're a fan of cocktails or whiskey, I highly recommend giving them a try - the mixologists here really know their stuff! The ambiance was welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Looking forward to returning for another round soon!

    South Block was a pleasant surprise! Being from South Carolina, I was excited to try some Carolina-style bbq. While I can't say it's completely authentic (it's not), I can say it's very very tasty! They definitely put their own spin on some of the dishes. We didn't care for the collards (the addition of beans is a bit odd!) but I actually enjoyed the shrimp and grits and even though the mushrooms were unexpected, they were good! I really liked the brisket and my husband liked the apricot pork belly. The beers were really good and there's a huge variety. The atmosphere is awesome (gorgeous space!) and the service was excellent. It is on the pricier side. I will definitely return to try some other meats and sides!
