Reviews of Aylwin Barbecue celebrate deeply smoked meats, with the brisket sandwich praised for balance and flavor thanks to a well judged spice rub and smoke, and two sauces offered for choice. The Famous Aylwinator burger is described as sublime, and sides like mac and cheese and poutine are lauded for creamy textures and bold flavors. Ribs and smoked sausage are repeatedly highlighted as juicy and well seasoned, though a few notes mention small portions or a hammy texture in ribs or sauces that skew too sweet or too sour. Craftsmanship and the use of a high quality smoker are credited with consistently strong results across visits, and service is seen as fast, friendly, and efficient even during busy times. Overall, Aylwin Barbecue is regarded as one of the best BBQ options in Montreal, with many diners planning return visits and recommending the spot to others, while peak times may limit availability.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews of Club Abierto indicate that the posted hours, scheduled for weekday evenings only, should be respected or clearly explained with signage when changes occur. Some experiences mention emergencies or running out of bread leading to closures, and one visit found the place quiet with a closed sign after arriving a bit past the posted time. The overall tone is constructive rather than punitive toward a small business, with hopes that explanations and improvements will help future visitors and that the food may be tried again and rated again if conditions improve.View restaurant profile
