I was so happy to see Alwyn's at Atwater Market. Having heard so much about it over the years, I knew I had to stop by.

I ordered the Alwynator burger, which was featured on their sandwich board, & it absolutely did not disappoint. At around $14, I'd say it's a solid value for the quality & portion. The burger was juicy, flavorful, & satisfying-the kind of comfort food that instantly puts a smile on your face specially when I was so hungry 😋

As I'm writing this review, though, I'm watching people mostly ordered & raved about the beef brisket sandwich… & now I'm seriously regretting my decision. 🥲 I should have known earlier & ordered both. The brisket looked incredible, & now I'm somehow hungry all over again.

Looks like I'll just have to come back-& honestly, that's not a bad problem to have. If you're at Atwater Market, Alwyn's is definitely worth checking out. Just learn from my mistake: order the brisket too. Sob sob.

I lived in Texas for two years, & this is the best Brisket I've ever had.

To start my girlfriend & I went to the deli that was a spot that u could eat inside & outside. We opted to eat inside since it was a very hot day. The service on the indoor deli was excellent & very accommodating & the food was also very good. Unfortunately the indoor restaurant didn't have the full menu & so we were told that the rest of the menu is served down the walkway at an outside location. We ended u eating our food & I really wanted to try the brisket & sausage so we went & stood in the line & when I got to the cash to order a lady was speaking to the cashier guy & so I started asking questions to a really nice guy who was preparing peoples orders & when it came my turn I moved over a few feet to the cashier guy who was super rude with a huge attitude. First he accused me of skipping the line & then when I asked him about a combo on the menu he rudely replied like what is written is what u get. He was a tall bierded guy with a tattoo of a flower or something on his left elbow. My advice to him is if u choose to work in the service industry then check ur attitude cuz people don't deserve it especially for how expensive the food is. All in all we enjoyed our experience except for that guy who ruined at the end. I personally will not be returning to this place.

I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk, & the cup was small to begin with, but it was filled less than halfway. It was made by an automatic machine, not even a barista machine, & I was charged $5.50 for what was basically 3-4 sips of coffee! When she gave it to me , I felt There's nothing inside! Lol

I asked the lady if this was really the cappuccino I ordered, & she said yes. That was the smallest cappuccino I've ever had.

This is a complete scam. I won't be coming back again. I didn't try the food, so I can't comment on that, but the coffee is an absolute rip-off for the price they charge.

Miscommunication when ordering. The food was good, though the burger could have stayed on a bit longer.

Went to the deli portion. Service at the counter was friendly. Bit of a lineup but not too crazy. Smoked meat poutine was great, flavorful. Coleslaw was done very well. Awesome lunch spot at Atwater.

I've tried every top rated smoked meat place in Montreal & Laval & Aylwin takes the win. Why? It's not commercially shrink wrapped brisket like 90% of places. It's thick cut, smoked & absolutely incredible. Everything slaps, even their fries, coleslaw & pickles. The Reuben is a must try, so good that I've had it several times I finish it before I can remember to take a picture!
