Review Summary

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.

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.

One of the best smoked food North of USA. Great deep smoke flavor with the ribs & beef brisket.

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.

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!
