Barbie's restaurant & bar in Brossard offers great tasting ribs and steak. They also serve up tasty smoked meat sandwiches. The items on the menu does not stop there, Barbies offers a wide array of items to please many palates. Week-end breakfast is served from 7:00am to 3:00pm.
Barbies Resto Bar Grill is generally praised for generous portions, hot dishes, and solid service, with burgers, ribs and other grill items repeatedly highlighted as dependable favorites in a lively, family friendly atmosphere. While many reviews note good value and attentive staff, some visits are marred by slow service during peak times, occasional bland notes or sauces, and a few complaints about noise and inconsistency in the dining experience, including moments when payments or coupons were not handled smoothly. Overall, diners describe Barbies as a versatile spot for casual meals with a broad menu, good prices, and plenty of crowd pleasers, though timing and atmosphere can vary with how busy the room is.
I recently visited this location for the first time, & unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. For a mid-range price point, the value proposition is simply not there.
?The Food
?Portion Sizes: There is noticeable'shrinkflation' occurring here. Paying approximately $23 per main dish feels excessive given the small serving sizes.
?Ingredient Quality: The quality of ingredients felt subpar. My'Greek Salad' arrived with only a single thin slice of feta cheese, & the desserts tasted noticeably cheap.
?The'Soup Tactic': The $3 chicken noodle soup felt like a budget filler rather than a quality'soup of the day,' a disappointing trend I've noticed lately.
?Service & Atmosphere
?Service: The service was lackluster; I had to repeat simple requests to our waiter multiple times before they were addressed.
?Environment: The atmosphere was quite cramped. Additionally, the smell of'free popcorn' permeated the entire room, leaving a heavy, greasy scent of butter throughout the meal.
?Final Verdict
?In this economy, everyone wants to ensure they are getting value for their hard-earned dollar. Based on the lack of quality control & the small portions, I cannot recommend this franchise. There are better options in the same price bracket that offer a much higher standard of food & service.
Went for supper on either Sunday or Monday of March break. The atmosphere was nice, & the waitress as well. The actual plate I ordered was great although the lentils soup I was served was cold... Not warm, cold. I let the waitress know & she was very nice, apologized & offered to replace it. I didn't take another soup but I wanted the staff to know so they wouldn't serve cold soup to other clients. Other then that it was honestly good & price was right.

40 of us came as a volleyball team. Geraldine was fantastic. Bills were kept seperate...food was good & priced reasonable. Server as attentive & fantastic.
My partner & I have been going to Barbie's regularly for a few years now. We live close by, the prices are affordable but what keeps us coming back is the service! We're regularly served by Rime, who always gives 110% service. She is charming, funny, but also takes her work seriously & gets us our orders in a very quick & efficient way, even when it's super busy! She even knows my order by heart that when I come in exhausted, I barely have to open my mouth because she knows what I came for!
We've also been previously served a lot by Simon, who, very similarly to Rime, is a very amazing & efficient waiter. We also love seeing Laura, one of the managers & Steve!
We enjoyed the souvalaki & chicken fingers. Outdoor patio seating.
The prices are good $17.50 or $35 for 2 entree meals.
Service was a bit slow, understandable since they were busy.
Server never offered to refill water or coffee & tea.
The food & atmosphere were good. They had order one meal get another one half price. I went there for a date & it was nice! :) We had chicken & pork souvlakis.
I never thought it will be that good , the presentation of the food like a five stars hotel the service the kindness love loving it & the lunch price many choices two for 35 including the soup go guys it's so good
I ordered the ribs with delicious, crunchy fries & a side of coleslaw. My husband got the burger & loved the flavorful meat. He chose poutine as a side, which was also very tasty. The prices were reasonable, & they had some great deals. Service was friendly & efficient. Overall, a solid dining experience!
Haven't been there for years because the food quality had gone down so much but was pleasantly surprise when I went for lunch with colleagues. Took a greek salad with chicken. Was not bad nor excellent but gold enough. At least the greens were still crunchy & chicken was not all dry. Greek salad does not mean tomatoes & cucumbers with feta & olives. It was more of a garden sale with feta. Portion size for the price is most probably what would make me come back though. It was also not too crowded. Perfect for work lunch & convo.
Food was mediocre. I ordered the surf & turf... I asked for a rare filet mignon... It was pretty much blue. The scampi were tiny & had no flavour. The rice wasn't great either. Felt like it was made in a large big batch & heated in the microwave. Our server seemed inexperienced... I asked for a "Ceasar vierge" - French establishment afterall - & after conferring with the bar, came back to say that they didn't offer that drink! Only to check the drink menu later to discover that I needed to ask for a "Bloody Ceasar - virgin... (no alcohol)! I cannot fault the poor server... I don't think the staff were ready for such a large number of customers on a January 2nd. $64 with a minimum 15% tip... Should have gone to Costco & Q'd my own beef instead. I could have invited 2 friends for dinner with accoutrements instead at that price! It's not the Brossard Barbies I remember from 10+ years ago. Sorry.
Really nice Brasserie, food size are just perfect, price is reasonnable, beer was good, waitresse bubbly & very attentive. It was a really agreable experience. Loved the gravy
What makes this restaurant the Best in Brossard? It's the people who work here! Very polite receptionist, waiters & waitresses. The cleanliness of the place & restrooms. Plenty of parking & most importantly, the quality of FOOD!

I think you're late in the price increase game now! You need to jack up the price during the pandemic, now now. Everywhere, the price has come back to normal.
Allo mon coco offers breakfast under 10$; you offer two eggs breakfast for 18$
On top of that, your coleslaw is Outdated! Food needs to be fresh!
