Old Montreal

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
