Review Summary

Overall, the reviews paint Aylwin Barbecue as a beacon for serious smoke lovers in Montreal, with brisket, ribs, and smoked sausage earning top marks for deep, balanced flavor from a Yoder smoker and a spice rub that enhances the meat without overpowering it. The menu shines with the Famous Aylwinator burger and other sandwiches, all described as juicy and well seasoned, plus sides like creamy mac n' cheese, a standout poutine, crispy fries, and a simple yet delicious duo of sauces, one sweet and one spicy. A big draw is the casual Atwater Market vibe and the friendly, efficient service that makes the experience easy and enjoyable, even with long lines at times. Reviews also highlight solid value for quality and a consistency that keeps regulars coming back. While a few notes mention some items being a touch too sweet or ribs that can taste ham-like, the overall consensus is that Aylwin Barbecue delivers top tier BBQ in Montreal, with brisket described as among the best and desserts like key lime pie providing a perfect finish.

This place is absolutely amazing! It's the first thing you smell as you enter the Atwater Market.

Let's talk about that brisket. First off, the spice rub is exquisite. The seasoning doesn't overpower the meat flavor - it enhances it. The smoke is tasty, & again, not overpowering. They give you two sauces - one sweet & one spicy.

We also got the Famous Aylwinator Burger. This is perfection on a bun. Again, seasoned & smoked perfectly, awesome condiments, & made with care.

Last but not least, the people who work there are just plain cool. Super friendly, witty, & efficient. I will absolutely be back the next time I come to Montréal.

I tried a beef brisket sandwich. The sauce was kind of sweet. There was a bit of cucumber mixed with mayonnaise in one part. It was okay, but a little too sweet for me.
It cost around $16 after tax.

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.

The food is great & the staff are friendly. We arrived late & they were out of brisket, so be sure to go early if you want to try everything.

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.
