About Smoke and Bones
Southern style barbecue restaurant with heated patio and catering services at 999 Marine Drive in Capilano, North Vancouver.
When the rain is coming down sideways on Marine Drive, a heated patio and hardwood smoke can feel like a small mercy. Smoke and Bones brings Southern style barbecue to Capilano using coals and smokers from the Deep South to prepare brisket, ribs, pulled meat, burgers, sandwiches, soups, and barbecue plates. This is not fussy dining but rather the kind of generous meal that makes sense after a wet hike or a long work week. The dining room and covered outdoor space open daily at noon, serving commuters, contractors, and families who need something substantial without pretense. Delivery across Metro Vancouver means North Shore households can also bring that smoky flavour home when cooking is the last thing anyone wants to do.
Beyond the daily lunch and dinner service, this spot doubles as an event kitchen for corporate gatherings, weddings, plated dinners, family style meals, and buffets. They even bring a custom Southern smoker to offsite events, which is handy when you need to feed a crowd without losing that authentic char. For locals, the real value lies in its straightforward reliability as a neighborhood barbecue room that handles bigger groups without fuss. Accessible from Pemberton, Lower Lonsdale, and West Vancouver, it serves as a practical anchor for anyone craving sauce and smoke. Who says you cannot have proper low and slow cooking right here on the North Shore?
