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.

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.

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.

Excellent ! Le cheeseburger est délicieux, le burger à l'effiloché de porc est juteux à souhait ( 🤤) ! Avec un petit keylime pie, une pause gourmande après avoir arpenté le Marché Atwate
