Absolutely outstanding. This is hands down one of the best BBQ spots I've been to.

I had the burnt end brisket platter, the aylwinator cheeseburger, & the pulled pork sandwich, & every single item was phenomenal. The brisket was incredibly juicy, tender, & packed with smoky flavour. The burger was cooked perfectly, the bun was fresh & unbelievably soft, & every bite was excellent. The pulled pork was just as impressive-moist, flavourful, & perfectly balanced.

You can tell they take pride in everything they serve. The quality of the meat, the execution, & the attention to detail were top-notch from start to finish.

If you're looking for authentic barbecue, this place is an absolute must-visit. I'll definitely be back.

Aylwin is an awesome BBQ spot in Atwater market & I would certainly recommend it.

I ordered the daily platter which comes at the cost of 24$ & comes with jerk style pork belly, brisket burnt ends, sausage, bread, cucumber salad & some sliced pickles, jalapenos & marinated onions. Everything was delicious. The brisket was very tender. The pork belly was very rich & fatty. The sausage was another highlight with just the right amount of spice. My only complaint is that for 24$ I would expect a bit more meat from the platter. The bread was also a little bit unimpressive. But overall it was a very tasty platter.

I also had the Mac & Cheese which was very good. They use pearl shaped pasta. The cheese sauce is very creamy & they top the whole thing with a bunch of bread crumbs & green onions. I would definitely recommend getting this as a side dish if you come to Aylwin.

Great experience overall & definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Atwater market. Next time I come back, I would love to try the burger, pulled pork & tacos.

Amazing Turkey BLT sandwich. It has a nice BBQ flavour.

Great poutine!

Tangy lemonade! It would slap even more made with carbonated water.

Can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu!

We don't know where to start telling you how amazing every part of this was.

We were immediately drawn to the large sign for the'famous' Aylwinator cheeseburger. A thick, perfectly cooked patty that radiated juiciness, enveloped in fresh lettuce, tomatoes, & drizzled with a simple yet astonishingly delicious sauce. This burger was sublime.

To accompany our burgers, we ordered a side of Mac n' cheese & we are at a loss for words. We can confidently say this is the best we have ever tasted-no exaggeration. Thick, creamy shell noodles crowned with crispy breadcrumbs & green onions.

But it didn't stop there. We followed that with a poutine worthy of our top 10 list. We loved everything about it, from the tangy gravy to the perfectly cut fries.

To wash it all down, a homemade lemonade & rye (at 11 am because we're degenerates). It was refreshing &... very potent, 😅.

We're not sure when or why key lime became associated with BBQ, but we are all for it. This super creamy, refreshing, tangy delight was a perfect farewell to the summer vibes.

Didn't like it. It's decent food but I've had so much better BBQ I can't eat this anymore. The ribs taste & feel like ham & thr sauce is way too sour.

I've been a regular at Aylwin BBQ for years & let me tell you, the quality has always been tip-top, every single visit. Consistency like this is rare, & they never disappoint.

Just this morning, at 10:30 AM, I grabbed their cheeseburger for breakfast, & wow! It absolutely hit the spot! Juicy, perfectly seasoned, & smoky in all the right ways. That's the kind of food that makes you smile & sets the tone for your whole day.

What sets Aylwin apart is not just the flavors, but the craftsmanship. They use a Yoder smoker, one of the best smokers out there, & you can really taste the difference in every bite.

Please never change - Montreal needs you just the way you are! Without question, this is one of the best (if not the best) BBQ joints in the city. Highly recommend to anyone: once you try it, you'll never be able to walk past Atwater Market without stopping in.

I had the brisket since everyone said it was good - & it was! The line was long & some of the locals chatted about how good it was. But it moved fairly quickly & the food got served quickly as well.

I've had phenomenal bbq in Texas & other famous bbq places & this is good brisket. I would definitely recommend.

This place is a gem tucked away at the Atwater Market! The vibe is friendly & no-nonsense-it's all about the food, & they absolutely nail it. If you're going, you simply have to try the brisket sandwich & please add a smoked sausage to the mix. The smoky, juicy bite of the sausage alongside the rich, fall apart brisket is a killing combo that's pure barbecue bliss. Aylwin BBQ is the kind of place that reminds you why simple food, done right, is the best food. If you're at the market & craving something warm, hearty, & full of flavour, do yourself a favour & stop by. You won't regret it!
