BBQ American Smokehouse Comfort Food

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Lattuca Barbecue as a Texas-style smokehouse with generous portions and meats that are consistently tender and flavorful, especially the brisket and beef ribs, with pulled pork also praised and some calls it the best barbecue outside Texas. The atmosphere is warm, casual, and welcoming with a lively vibe and friendly staff, though a few visits report slow service, mixups, or higher prices compared with portions. A common observation is the lack of a written menu and reliance on verbal options, along with occasional value questions when prices are high. Sides such as mac and cheese, beans, and coleslaw receive mixed reactions, sometimes excellent and other times less impressive or cold. Many diners travel from far away and deem it a must-visit for barbecue in Montreal, while a few reservations note service issues or price concerns. Reservations are often advised due to popularity, and the overall meat-forward, smoke-kissed flavors create a memorable experience for fans of authentic barbecue.View restaurant profile

American Grill Deli Breakfast Smoked Meat

Review Summary

Nickels Deli & Bar shows a mix of strong points and drawbacks in these reviews, with the food often described as delicious and the prices reasonable and some service experiences praised for being fast and attentive, yet several issues temper the overall impression. The smoked meat is frequently highlighted as a major plus, but guests report inconsistencies in preparation such as requests for doneness not being followed, incorrect toppings on some orders, and occasional longer service times. Portions are said to have been reduced this May, and bread quality is a common gripe, including rye slices that are too small or sandwich bread that dries out and breaks apart. Other annoyances include a dirty coffee cup, a fruit fly problem, and limited beverage options. Despite the negatives, there are indications that the kitchen can deliver excellent meals and good value, suggesting that improvements in consistency and order accuracy could elevate the overall experience.View restaurant profile
