Had the pulled pork it was amazing. The smell when you walk in takes you instantly to world champion BBQ contest at Tom Lee Park in Memphis in May. Great vibe with beads strewn about like a great trip to New Orleans. Couple years later still just amazing must try.

Glorified fast food restaurant. Order at a screen, pick up your own food, fill your own drink, but get prompted for a tip.
02 December 2023 23:56
I have been to a lot of BBQs in the Southern States, and I can say this is as good. If you want melt in your mouth, Brisket, this is your place
29 November 2023 9:50
The atmosphere is self serve order on a kiosk and mostly everything else is self serve…. Takes away from the “going out” feel for sure.
The food came out within five minutes of ordering, and was dry, old, tasteless and everything tasted the same…. Terrible!

Was quite expensive for an essentially fast food joint…. Had such high hopes for a barbecue restaurant in Alberta…. Sadly disappointed!

Was in yesterday for lunch, I loved everything about this place, the staff were welcoming, helpful & nice.
The food was delicious, so much food
The decor is great, I love the posters & great music) playing Southern Rock).

I was excited to try this bbq spot, but when we went (on a week day) our visit was disappointing. Our food was very dry or not cooked properly.
- The mac and cheese was liquidy inside, which i suppose they freeze and then reheat it up and then add the cheese? We also had HARD ROCK pieces of macaroni inside. (SEE PICS)
- The cornbread was very dry or not fresh.
- Brisket alone was good.
The atmosphere was like a high version of Mardi Grass and its basically self served once you order your food.

We booked Jane Bond for last minute catering for a celebration and I am so happy we did! The customer service was amazing (shoutout to Adrienne!) and the food was 10/10. I would definitely recommend! Thank you for making our event so great!
24 September 2022 21:53
I've used Jane Bond BBQ for catering at a couple of our staff events (around 35 people). Our team has loved the delicious selection of items they have on offer. I worked with Adrienne Keith, the co-owner, both times and her and her team have really looked after us to ensure we received top notch food and service for our events. I will definitely be happy to use their catering services again in the future. I can also attest that the food served in the restaurant is just as tasty as our catering. A great place to check out if you love good BBQ!
03 September 2022 21:38
Very good bbq. Went for a birthday and couldn’t have been more satisfied. Great tasting meat, will come back. Thanks
28 August 2022 21:21
We recently had Jane Bond cater a work function for us and the experience was fantastic. The food showed up almost to the minute of when we asked and everyone on the team was very happy with the quality and portions. I would recommend them for anyone feeding a large group.
28 August 2022 7:54
Excellent experience went for a birthday party, and all the cocktails, drinks, and food, especially the cornbread, was well made and well seasoned. The honey mustard sauce is greatI could put it on anything and even eat it out of a jar if I could. Great place for a chill good time! My new favorite smoke house in calgary.
12 August 2022 0:58
Had never tried Jane Bond before but I'll definitely be back as I've now found my go to BBQ joint in Calgary! My wife and I had the platter and it was a delicious and generous spread of food. We choose beans and slaw as our sides and their sauces were all amazing. Can't wait to try again!
06 August 2022 23:09
First time here the staff very friendly and inviting and the food was amazing i had the brisket po boy so tender and amazing and the sauce omg I had to buy my 9wn bottle to take home which was a nice touch also very very fair priced I was very impressed and will be a regular customer from now
04 August 2022 15:58
Edit: Lol, thank you Jane for the response to my lazy 5 star review of no text.

I should add that Jane Bond's has amazing food, quality and service. Also, if you're in need of entertainment during your meal, I recommend Jane's spicy responses to stupid 1 star reviews from ex-employees and mama's boys.
31 July 2022 6:40
Thank you for giving me the best bbq I've had in 10 years. The quality of the meats were fantastic the rub on the ribs was so good.

Mac & cheese was great quality and the cornbread just needed some extra butter on top.

Only thing that wasn't to my taste was the two choices of bbq sauce and I prefer a more traditional bbq sauce vs what was available.

Seating was nice for large people.

Highly recommend for very good bbq.
25 July 2022 15:04
I love Barbaque. Jane Bond has filled a void here in Calgary. The brisket is fantastic. The Po' boy is great for lunches. If you are are wanting to feed the family get their platters. Highly recommend eating here or ordering for take out. Oh and try the ribs. The meat falls off the bone and succulent and savory. Definitely Keto and Paleo friendly.
20 July 2022 0:35
I had the brisket lunch combo to go. It's was still hot and moist when I sat down to eat (typically when I've ordered takeout BBQ it got really dry by the time I ate). I've only had a few but this was definitely the tastiest! Love the sparkling tea as well!
18 July 2022 9:23
Good food with some oddities! Space is way too small for busy times.

Wandered in here just before supper on a Saturday and boy does this place get busy! We were the first group told to sit on the patio as there was no room inside and then suddenly, the patio was full too! Happened to be a table free up as our food was ready so we were able to eat inside.

Ordered a couple individual plates for my partner and I. It's a shame that they advertise their gluten friendly items but refuse to substitute their gluten filled cornbread for anything despite it being on every platter. Ended up ordering a second side for my partner (celiac) and took their cornbread home for a snack for myself.

Food took 30 minutes from order to table but the staff gave us a heads up on the delays which were spot on.

The meats and coleslaw were very good. Meat was perfectly cooked and delicious. Sauces provided offered a good variety while all being delicious. That being said, what on earth or those beans? ! There is no reason baked beans need to be 8/10 spicy. Zero warning from the staff about this despite establishing that we'd never been here before. I was only able to eat half a serving before it being too much (and I usually like spicy foods).

Oh and the house made "iced tea" was quite good but for sure wasn't iced tea. I'd suggest getting one but don't be expecting anything close to traditional iced tea (Canadian or American). Be warned it is carbonated.
11 July 2022 23:46
Had the 1/2 pound and a corn muffin. Super stuffed and very delicious. Thanks Team Jane!

Also, heard about you from the Calgary Chinook Drakes Ducks Unlimited dinner. Thank you for supporting Ducks and conservation.
06 July 2022 16:12
Not the best.unfortunately I used to love this place, I got the brisket cheese bread and pulled pork poutine but now both have changed on the menu, there's barely any pulled pork on the poutine and the cheese bread has been removed only good thing I have to say is the pulled pork is delicious. But it's just not worth the price anymore, and has lost alot of its delicious dishes
Not sure if I'll order again.
18 June 2022 16:11
After a visit at Jane Bond not only is your belly bursting, your heart and soul are also bursting at the seams with love, warmth and joy. Jane Bond is an experience in the best of hospitality and bbq that Calgary has to offer. Go for a snack, supper, lunch, get catering, book the food truck, a patio session or more. Just go!
14 June 2022 5:38
If you're looking to eat meat this is the place for you. Just read all the other glowing reviews, or take the testament of my family who is incredibly stuffed and satisfied. BUT WHAT I DIDNT EXPECT was the phenomenal vegan selections. I am gluten free and vegan, and I ate here (a little unwillingly) for my sister's birthday.
I had the veganator burger on a gluten free bun and not only was the gluten free bun delicious, but the house made vegan patty was probably the best vegan burger I've ever had. My mom had the pulled jackfruit sandwich and said it was also to die for.
Absolutely worth being surrounded by meat, not only is it a great option for parties with multiple dietary restrictions, but I would choose to eat here on my own.

Chef Jenny B is phenomenal with what she does, and her and the staff were all incredibly lovely humans. You should probably just go eat there now.
11 June 2022 8:58
Absolutely delicious food and super friendly service. When realized we were new, the server immediately helped guide us on the menu and what to order. He was very knowledgeable and he truly cares. We ordered the platter and everything was of high quality and prepared with love. All the meat was meticulously marinated and barbecued to perfection. Not only that, their beans and coleslaw was overly delicious. And the sauces are to die for. At the end we even got to sample their refreshing homehomade iced tea. Highly recommend this place. We will be back with many more friends…
03 January 2022 5:17
Amazing food, like I'm drooling thinking about it. Staff is amazing.
I came here for lunch was recommended by a coworker so I decided to give it a try. Told my husband about it and we came the next day so he could try and he loved it!
01 January 2022 8:22
Honestly the best bbq in the city. We always get the family feed bbq platter to get a little of everything and and extra 1/2 lb of brisket because we love it so much. The team is amazing and always great to chat with.
30 December 2021 18:27
We've ordered the Bond Platter a few times for the office and it never disappoints! Loads of delicious, juicy BBQ with tons of slaw and beans! Definitely a crowd pleaser!
23 December 2021 8:58
I love Jane Bond BBQ! The friendliest peeps and the coconut cornbread is the best cornbread around. Don’t forget a bottle of their house bbq sauce for home!
22 December 2021 6:33
Jane's BBQ brisket sandwich & pecan pie were incredible. Amazing cornbread too. I'll be back!
08 December 2021 23:26
One of Calgary's best bbq experiences. Great, friendly service and authentic southern 'cue in a great setting!
06 December 2021 18:39
Ordered Jane's platter twice now for our date night and again it was awesome.

Highly recommended to everyone.
06 December 2021 7:47
I had the ribs and brisket. Both were bone dry, hard, definitely left overs reheated and for the price it was a complete RIP OFF. I'd rate my experience a -20, the worst meal of my life. If you want ribs, look somewhere else, anywhere else. For my $42 I would have enjoyed a Mama burger at A&W better. Sad.
01 December 2021 0:34
Everything here is delicious! Coconut cornbread, ribs, brisket, fried pickles, catfish, and so much more.
29 November 2021 22:32
Good food and atmosphere. Waited a bit longer than usual and the brisket could have been more fatty and less dry. Chicken and pork were awesome.
27 November 2021 20:06
Amazing food each time. Whether we stop in for a bite or have an event catered, it is always just amazing!
27 November 2021 16:20
Order the Maple Brisket Sandwich. Not a fan of maple, but this is one of my favourite brisket sandwiches
09 November 2021 11:14
These people dont know how to cook New Entry
Still the worst owners in calgary just really Mean girls
you really should stick with ruining peoples life and not food and beverage, you dont seem to be a people person
Not the best dinning experience food was a one maybea one and half
food was dry and over cooked with no flavour.
And dont tip these people as the owners steal the tips from the staff.
If you want a good bbq Experience try one of the other great bbq places in town and taking the tips from the staff is theft and you have staff that dont have your back! Wow did it take you along time to come up with that response
reported to revenue canada.people like you are just thieves.i wouldn't say to much time on my hands i just call a spade a spade, your customers think they are tipping the staff but yet the staff don't get the tips cause the owners take those from the staff seems fishy! Just saying
30 October 2021 16:04
Had grilled pork belly, brisket and chicken. Tasted delicious. The sides (especially the cornbread) was a delight!
29 October 2021 16:00
Good foods in general. I recommend the brisket. If you combine with the Carolina sauce it will be awesome. A real calgarian atmosphere
27 October 2021 10:48
My experience with James Bond barbecue they still owe me a paycheck and they're clowns for not paying me
26 October 2021 9:37
Hard to describe how good the food was, based on my limited lunch stop. But it was outstanding! The only things keeping me from giving them 5 stars are the rustic seating (similar to pallet wood furniture), which looks the part but very uncomfortable. Also, the pricing is not for the faint of heart.
21 October 2021 12:36
We recently used Jane Bond BBQ catering for a backyard event and everything was great!
We got a prompt reply from Vanessa who tailored everything to our budget and dietary requirements (celiac).
The brisket, pork belly and chicken were great and everyone loved the sauces! Even the last minute side substitute of kale caeser was great!
Lots of guests complimented the quality of food. Highly recommended!
19 October 2021 19:31
Kind of pricey* but so very worth it as I ended up with leftovers for the next day!

Best Cornbread I've ever eaten and Cajun Coleslaw was excellent.

* 08/21 Adding a clarification to answer Jane's question:

I came in for lunch and, being my first time, I asked a staff member what she recommended and ordered the Hangry Plate as a result.

I didn't ask the price before going for it (that's entirely on me) and was surprised at spending $26 for lunch which is probably why I used the term "pricey" above.

The reality is I could only eat half of it while there (there was just that much on the plate) and had an entire second meal with the leftovers the next day.

Having looked at your online menu while writing this reply, your lunch item prices are much lower and it appears I ordered an dinner plate as my lunch which makes the $26 price tag quite reasonable and well in line with my other (admittedly limited in Calgary) BBQ experiences.

I will be back for another lunch in the future and this time I'll know to order one of the lunch type menu options such as the Po' Boy or Brisket Dip as they're at a much more "lunch friendly" price point and portion and are really darned yummy looking in the menu photos!
07 October 2021 17:34
After many times driving by and wanting to try it I finally stopped in. Im now kicking myself for not coming in the first time I seen it. Amazing food, staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, portions were good. 150% will be back
30 September 2021 13:25
What a fantastic experience! The food is amazing VERY Tasty. Friendly staff great decor. Will definitely go back!
17 September 2021 23:44
Make sure to check out their Bonding hour deals (happy hour). They are a crazy good deal. We have tried almost all the Bonding hour offerings and it hasn't disappointed us yet! We have used the platter for multiple gatherings and our guests enjoy it. We have dined in and enjoyed the atmosphere/decorations.
17 September 2021 11:31
I came with friends on a Saturday evening and it wasn't overly busy. The wait staff was very kind. The menu and ordering system was a little confusing and glitchy because it was all online, but nothing overly complicated. We shared a platter and it had tons of food for a good price. The food came quickly and was delicious. The atmosphere was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend!
07 September 2021 13:11
Staff was super friendly.
Ordered the hungry platter. Brisket was pretty dry, but the pork belly and chicken were solid. The coconut corn bread was great.
02 September 2021 14:12
Best BBQ in town! Hands down. I got the platter so could try everything, so much food and oommgg I'm in love! And I've lived in Texas.great service and cool lil patio! I highly recommend trying Jane Bond BBQ
27 August 2021 4:42
Been eating here since Jane's first shop in Dover! That was in 2015 and the food has only gotten better and better. This just might be the best bbq in Calgary.highly recommended you wont be disappointed
24 August 2021 19:48
Our greeter was outstanding she made us feel so comfortable, everyone was very nice. Food was very delicious, the Mac n Cheese was amazing. Great ambience!
23 August 2021 2:23
Yeehaw Our First Stampede dinner after lockdown. Hangry BBQ Plate
1/4LB each: Tender Smoked Brisket, Grilled Thighs and Smoked Pork Belly w Coconut Cornbread and Fries. BBQ & Carolina Sauces Included! This is mouth-watering, good BBQ folks!
14 August 2021 5:16
Fantastic brisket and the best corn bread I have had in a very long time. Service was first rate.
11 August 2021 8:43
A bit expensive, but the food exceeded my expectations. A nice place for lunch or supper. Great mustard bbq sauce.
01 April 2021 18:33
Did a super fun-and delicious tasting zoom cooking with chef Jenny B!
Such delicious Cuban flavours, can’t wait to make my way to the restaurant now to try out some of the dishes she prepares!
30 March 2021 11:02
I cant say enough good things about this place. The food is so good and has Keto friendly options! The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was so inviting. I highly recommend Jane Bond BBQ and cant wait to visit again!
23 March 2021 12:34
We ordered from there it came to $120 and the food was awful could not even eat it. Food was missing food was fridge cold, heck even the chilli was so cold it came out in one clump when you stuck your fork in it. The chicken was so cheap it was almost foam. If your thinking of eating there maybe try eating in as the take out was not even food. I would say just run don't even order food there. Or just throw your money out the car window you will be farther ahead. We ordered from skip the dishes no refund no help said we can not contact the store. Absolute disappointment
14 March 2021 13:06
The only thing more outstanding than the staff is the exceptional food. Go once and you'll be going more and more. Thanks
05 March 2021 23:30
My first time going to this place and let me say it won't be my last. INCREDIBLE BBQ! Delicious food. I cant even describe in words how amazing there food is, you HAVE to go and try it for yourself. My god its like heaven in your mouth!
28 February 2021 1:42
Just finished the best BBQ north of the US Border-rack of ribs, smoked chicken. Thanks Jenny! And Jane Bond BBQ. Best coleslaw I've had in a long time! I'll be back!
17 February 2021 21:03
If you love BBQ, Jane Bond is your place to go!
Our first experience was for our wedding catering tasting in 2019. Adrienne was most helpful and the food spoke for itself, and we cannot wait until August to dazzle our guests with their tasty creations.

We have since eaten there multiple times, and this weekend tried out their new Marketplace.
We took home 2 steaks, mashed potatoes, Cajun corn on the cob & corn bread batter.
Again, I was not disappointed at all!
Everything was so easy to prepare, and the do it yourself bake corn bread tasted just as same as in house!

I cannot say enough kind words about their staff, Chef Jenny B & Adrienne. If you love to support local don't hesitate to go here, I promise you won't regret it.
17 February 2021 18:35
Came here last night for dine-in and had the best service we have had in a long time! Plus the food was above and beyond what we expected it was so dammmmn good! I was referred here by a friend of mine named Red and it didn’t disappoint at all! I would highly recommend this place! Thanks JBs we will be back!
17 February 2021 3:16
Amazing BBQ at an affordable price. The Jane Bond Platter feeds probably 3-4 and is a great preview of what they have! My favorite is their cornbread which has coconut in it. Just amazing with the chicken which is flavorful and juicy.
16 February 2021 10:45
All I can say is WOW - was referred to this place by a coworker and I just had to try it.
Myself and 4 other colleagues tried Jane Bond today and we are absolutely blown away at the quality of food and the customer service provided. Bar none the best fried chicken I have ever had. Their sauces cannot be matched - phenomenal flavorss! Will definitely be going back and referring my friends and family! Thank you Jane Bond BBQ! Keep up the good work
31 January 2021 4:35
The brisket cheeseburger was sooooo good and delicious. We would highly recommend it and will be back for it. The brisket poutine is a guilty pleasure
27 January 2021 22:24
Excellent food! Great service! We ordered online and they had it ready five minutes.

I highly recommend the food and service here.
03 June 2019 9:50
A group of us visited this awesome little hidden gem on Saturday early evening for a late lunch/early dinner and we were wowed from start to finish.
It was my first time here but a couple friends in my crew had been here and had rave reviews. We decided to try the Bond Platter which had a huge variety of all the barbecue dishes and it impressed, let me tell ya! Everything from the ribs, jerk chicken, brisket, cajun corn on the cob and crawfish, to the baked beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, coconut corn bread, and sausage - it was to die for! The whole experience made me feel like I wasnt even in Calgary. It felt as if I was actually somewhere down in the deep southern States. Don't let the address or location deter you - this place is amazing!
Jane Bond BBQ carries an authenticity that is hard to come across here in the city. The owner has a professional yet super down to earth vibe that makes you feel like you're one of her good friends that she invited over for a bbq. You can definitely see the passion she has for her business!
She mentioned on Saturday night there was a DJ coming in at 9pm as well, but we couldn't stay for that. I will definitely be coming back to experience the music side of things.but of course ALSO for more smokey BBQ goodness! Looking so forward to coming back.
20 May 2019 3:44
Tbis place was awesome. I'm so glad we found it. The food was great and staff was friendly. I came from Montreal for work. When I'm back next year I'll surely go again.
19 May 2019 9:59
I love good BBQ, Jane’s has pretty good BBQ. I had the brisket, it was melt in your mouth tender and paired very well with the BBQ sauce. The Mac N Cheese had a spicy BBQ power added; I found it a good match with the brisket. I did not like the slaw, personal preference, the ingredients were fresh.

The staff seemed very busy on non-customer duties and I felt my interaction where rushed.

There was a large screen playing Bond movies which I thought was a nice touch.

Definitely will go back to try other items on the menu.
12 May 2019 17:27
A missed opportunity due to lack of thinking with location, food is good parking bad would do better if it was right in 17th Ave. (International Avenue) I like jerk sauce smoked BBQ mac& cheese.
2 downfalls location and owner sitting getting drunk with clientele most nights doesn't make for good service unfortunately.
02 May 2019 22:08
FINALLY BBQ in Calgary that actually tastes like BBQ! All the other fakers can close their doors - I'm looking at you Hayden Block.

Great place, smokey and delicious, just like riding in my grandma's Buick.

In summary tasty food. Will come back.
02 May 2019 17:35
Pretty good food, took a bit. Was a little chilly inside but overall I'd come back and their iced tea was the bomb with the platter we had. The BBQ chick was on point!
