    We did not really know what to expect from a Canadian barbecue place, but it was very good! Great sausage and chicken quarters, maybe the pulled pork and brisket were a tad on the drier side, but the taste was still nice. Also, thumbs up on potato salad and corn muffins.

    Very good experience here! As soon as you step foot in the door to smell the bbq. Menu is decent, and our service was fantastic. Travelled from out of town, fortunately had a reservation as it was pretty busy on a Saturday night. This was our first time visiting but definitely need a couple more trips to try the rest of the menu.

    Amazing BBQ!!! This was some amazing BBQ! A family run roadhouse right in the heart of Sarnia! This is a spot that’s been here for years and one that I have been meaning to try. Am I glad I did!!! I had the the Smokehouse Meat Platter. It feeds more then two people so make sure you are hungry. It comes with 1/4 beer can chicken, 1/4 smoked rack of ribs, smoked pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked sausage, 2 smoked wings, and 3 bacon wrapped meatballs. Choice of two side: I got the Mac and cheese and the potato salad with bacon chunks. Top it off with two cornbread muffins! My belly was so happy and full. Thank you to the entire crew at Bains for an awesome experience. You can dine in, sit on the patio, or get take out. They even do catering for larger events. Give this place a try if you haven’t yet. You won’t regret it. For more awesome restaurant finds check out @first_big_bite on Instagram.
