Dwane and his great service

Dwane,

Thank you for the exceptional service during my visit yesterday. I’m from Wisconsin, and every year when I come to Ottawa, Capital BBQ is a must-stop destination. You and the team always greets us with a smile (maybe even a joke), and the store is packed with great value and an impressive selection, from rubs and sauces to pellets and cool grilling gadgets.

I love discovering new items to bring back home, and your knowledgeable, friendly service makes the experience even better. Thanks for all you do, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s visit!

Craig

Good value and arrived fast

The parts I ordered arrived as described and reasonable price. My only issue was when ordering the Napoleon stainless grates I wasn't aware that it was only one so when it arrived I had to order the other two and pay shipping again. Not a real big deal but would have been nice to save the second shipping charge.

Very long delivery time with very little communication unless engaged by the purchaser

Ordered my items showing they were all in stock. Received NO update after 1 week, so I emailed to see what was the delay. I was told one item was not in stock hut they should have it the following week. Well, this went on for over a month and I finally received my items around 6 weeks later. In the mean time I had to purchase the items somewhere else, because I was going away on vacation and needed them.
