Tried their daily platter at the Atwater market.

The sausage & ribs were really good. The pickled accompaniments & potato salad was really good as well.

The mac & cheese was ok... A bit too cheesy for my liking.

Absolutely love this spot inside Atwater Market! The smash burgers are phenomenal, perfectly seared & so flavourful. Service is always super friendly, fast, & efficient.

Plus, the location inside the market makes it convenient as I can grab a delicious lunch & then do my grocery shopping right after. Talk about killing two birds with one stone! Highly recommend!

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.

Hands down one of the best smoked meat sandwiches I've ever had. The smoked meat seems to be made in-house, piled incredibly high, perfectly seasoned, unbelievably tender, & melts in your mouth. Paired with their house-baked rye & house-made mustard, every bite was absolute perfection. The balance of the smoky, juicy meat with the fresh rye & tangy mustard is simply outstanding.

If you're anywhere near Atwater Market, do yourself a favor & order this sandwich. It's not just a smoked meat sandwich-it's one of those meals you'll be thinking about long after you've finished it.

10/10. Absolutely mouth-watering.

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.

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.
