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!

Bonne place de BBQ, je recommande ribs & brisket, préférablement pas en sandwich afin de mieux apprécier la viande qui est excellente même sans sauce.

After walking through the meat market, the mere presence of this establishment induced salivation. Fortunately, the meal went above & beyond the high expectations I had.

For only 30CAD, between 2 people we rolled out of the market, bellies full of the most succulent pork ribs, juicy melt-in-your-mouth smoked sausage, & a light green goddess salad to cut the heavy meat. I'll add, the ribs had a gorgeous dry rub with the tastiest hot sauce & bbq on the side--perfect for not getting your face soaked in sauce & leaving plenty of delicious rib flavor to enjoy.

Can't recommend enough!

Great BBQ but portion is smaller than expected. Ordered the whole menu - see in photos. Always a long queue so be prepared to wait. However, staff is always friendly & service is pretty quick.

Delicious bbq, was looking for one for ages in Montreal & this place truly did not disappoint. Huge portions & reasonable prices for high quality & refined food. Highly recommend. Especially loved the smokey juicy sausage, the brisket, the tacos & the buns. Great sauces too.

Nailed the brisket. Ribs were very good. Cucumber buttermilk salad was refreshing & I've never seen that before. Very difficult to serve this volume of BBQ at near-competition level quality but they're doing it well. Wash it down with a frozen margarita & you're having a great day at the Atwate
