Experience Mammoth Barbeque

What screams summer more than the perfect picnic-style meal from a specialty food truck? My favourite is picking up food, throwing down the tailgate and watching the sun set – there is something so ‘summer bucket list’ about it.

If you are a fan of slow smoked barbeque then you need to make the trip to Douro, Ontario where you will find the coolest team of barbeque slingers Central Ontario has ever seen.

The Mammoth Barbeque truck is packed full of visual character, harkening aromas and is marked as the go-to locale for Central Texas Inspired BBQ. It is the smiling faces, amazing service and melt in your mouth meat that have locals kicking the dinner plan and making their way to Douro for dinner.

Owners Nik Aström and John Ellis – both veterans of comfort food cuisine – brought their dream to fruition in 2023 and have curated a menu packed with decadent barbeque goodness. Watch for weekly specials throughout the summer, and enjoy menu staples like Brisket, Blackened Chicken, Pulled Pork and Ribs – and don’t forget the Poutine! All of Mammoth Barbeque’s smoked delectables are made using local hardwood and hand crafted rubs which makes their flavours unique and exceptional.

Be sure to mark the Calendar for July 13th, 2024 as they host their Quafftide Music Fest. Bring a chair, settle in, and enjoy the bands (Kitchen Party Band, The Beef Boys, The Venisons, Bootleg xxx). There will also be a car and Bike show, raffles, prizes and giveaways, lots of local vendors and a smoked whole hog. Sounds like a rootin’ tootin’ good time to me!

You can find them in the Douro Arena parking lot from May through October, Wed – Sun 11am – 8pm.
