Smoky Cactus — Restaurant in Saugeen Shores

AMAZING FOOD, SERVICE, AND ATMOSPHERE! This is one of the best dining experiences you will have. The food was sublime, I was full and kept eating because the food was too good and i couldn't stop. The smoke flavour really comes through but it is not overpowering. I found myself enjoying vegetable I normally won't touch because of how well they were prepared.

The service was super friendly and attentive, which I found amazing given the fact it was so busy while we were there and yet the servers were able to cater to everyone with big smiles on their faces. I loved the take out containers it was served in as well because I always feel bad asking for take out trays after a meal out, so instead of having to struggle shovelling all the leftovers into a container I just closed the container it came in. so much easier!

THE VIBESSSSSSSSSSSS were amazing. We walked by a few times on our way to the beach and we just noticed the atmosphere from a distance, you could see people basically just hanging out and being social, people waiting for their orders or a table were just having a drink and talking and you could tell they were strangers too. It was a very inviting atmosphere. I cannot wait to be back with more friends this time! 10/10...

This place is a okay. I was here with three other people on a Saturday evening for dinner. I had the chicken rings burrito, two people had tacos, one with the smoked beet taco, the other with the sweet potato tacos, for both the second and third tacos were chicken and pork respectively. The final party had the brisket Quesadilla. We shared a pitcher of margaritas and chips and guacamole. The service was terribly slow at every point in service. We were half through the margarita pitcher when the chips and guacamole were delivered to the table and the pitcher was finished by the time we got the food. We were waiting for about a total of 40 minutes at times throughout the meal. The fastest parts were being seated and getting the bill. The tacos were overfilled with cheese and coleslaw. The burrito was okay, but nothing compared to a place like Burrito Boys. The Quesadilla had a lot of cheese and was served with only our cream and no salsa. The margaritas were over sweet.

Depending on your experience with good and authentic tacos, you will enjoy this place or not at all.

If you really like sitting around talking for a long time between drinks, appetizers and your meal, you will enjoy this place, as long as you have...

Our kids asked for Mexican for dinner when visiting Southampton and we were delighted to find a local joint.

The food was just meh. I had tacos and the chicken tasted as if it was cooked a week ago and reheated, and the beef was dry. The drinks we had, margaritas, were small. There is literally a thing they invented, a margarita glass... and this place missed the memo.

The restaurant interior we saw... a side room in an old house... was cramped and filled up quickly. But it needed a good cleaning. The window we sat by was disgusting with grime.

But the biggest failure was the service. Once our food came, our server went AWOL. Our teen kids wanted churros for dessert, but after having to ask for our server to return (15 minutes after we were done eating), and then THAT taking the better part of 5 or 10 minutes for her to actually come, we asked for the bill and got the heck out of there. A local ice cream shop got our dessert business instead.

Honestly, I'm a good tipper (20 to 25% for decent service.) But the absolute failure of the service here earned a tip of 0%. I rots me to do that, but what choice is there when you're ignored...
