The food is amazing & the portions are so generous for the price!! We got so much food for 60$, I looked at it & immediately knew we'd have leftovers it was awesome. I think we spoke to the owner, I didn't get his name, but he was so sweet & kind. Very patient as well, he took the time to explain the menu to us & how it works & what's the best option for two people. Also if you get the ribs, do not be fooled, they're HUGE! I had the combo pork & chicken &, oh my goodness, I was so full but I couldn't stop eating!
I recommend the honey BBQ sauce & the Texas, they're amazing!

(Also the'owner' let us play his vintage pinball machine for free while we waited which was so sweet!)

I highly recommend this place, very affordable & honestly, some of the most awesome BBQ smokehouse food in that area!!

If this place ever shuts down, I will personally never eat BBQ again. They've got it right with the Cuban Sandwich with Alabama sauce , its my little treat after a long week. They only place I trust with my pulled pork craving

Southern BBQ is an uncommon find in this city. Bofinger is going head-to-head with my current favorite, Diablo in the Plateau. I went for the chicken & rib combo with a mac n cheese. Every single part of the meal was expertly prepared. The Texas BBQ sauce was smoky, a lil sweet & bold as it should be. It worked almost equally perfect on both meats, with slight edge to the ribs. The ribs were huge & so tender, impressive quality. The plate was reasonably priced considering both quality & quantity. The man at the counter provided good service as well. The interior is well decorated to suit the cuisine & provide a well-rounded experience.

A Traumatic Encounter with Culinary Excellence at Bofinger BBQ

Let me preface this by saying, if you value mediocrity, if you cherish the bland, & if your palate recoils at the mere suggestion of genuine flavor, then for the love of all that is unspectacular, DO NOT go to Bofinger BBQ in Montreal.

Consider yourselves warned.My recent visit was nothing short of an assault on my carefully cultivated apathy towards barbecue. I went in expecting the usual, the forgettable, the'it'll do.' What I received was a gastronomic intervention I didn't ask for & am now, infuriatingly, grateful for.

First, the barbecue ribs. Oh, the utter gall of these ribs! They were so ludicrously tender, so shamelessly falling off the bone, that one wonders if they've bribed the laws of physics. Each bite was a decadent, smoky whisper of perfection, drenched in a sauce that had no business being so profoundly balanced - sweet, tangy, with just enough of a kick to remind you that your taste buds are, in fact, alive & currently being exploited for pleasure. It was an insult to every dry, chewy rib I've ever reluctantly consumed.

& the French fries? Preposterous! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, & seasoned with such devilish precision that they rendered ketchup entirely redundant. Who needs a condiment when the fry itself is a masterpiece? It's almost offensive in its simplicity & flawless execution.

Then there was the mac & cheese. This wasn't just mac & cheese; it was a creamy, cheesy, carb-laden conspiracy against willpower. Rich, comforting, & dangerously addictive, it clung to every noodle with an unapologetic intensity. It's the kind of side dish that actively tries to sabotage your main course by being equally, if not more, compelling. A true villain, disguised as comfort food.

& finally, the chicken. Juicy, flavorful, with skin that boasted an almost criminal char. It wasn't merely cooked; it was transformed. Each piece was a testament to proper seasoning & masterful grilling, forcing me to confront the harsh reality that I may never look at a rotisserie chicken the same way again.

In conclusion, Bofinger BBQ is a menace. It dares to serve food that is genuinely, unequivocally delicious, thereby raising the bar to an uncomfortably high level. If you enjoy your culinary experiences to be just'fine' or'decent,' then absolutely, unequivocally, avoid Bofinger. You've been warned: your expectations for good barbecue will be irrevocably ruined.

We come here regularly for the amazing food & service. Our go-to order is the naturally smoked beef ribs with fries (which are seriously amazing) & a house salad. This time, we also tried the brisket poutine-& it did not disappoint!
The food is always fresh, delicious, & made with care. I have a lot of food sensitivities, & you'd think BBQ might be a challenge-but here, everything feels clean, comforting, & satisfying.
Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a casual place to enjoy truly great food!

I had never been to Bofinger BBQ before, but for the Superbowl we were having a small party & wanted to order bbq by weight. It's a super normal thing in the US to get meat by the pound but none of the three places I've had bbq at in Montreal offered it this way. I called Bofinger & was told of course they do so we ordered 1.5kg of pulled pork & 1kg of brisket. We ordered a day in advance & picked up on Sunday. They called to verify we'd be able to get it still & accommodated us coming by early. Although it was pretty empty at 230 on a Sunday the ambiance of the restaurant was nice & the the smoky smell was just right. We grabbed some Carolina & Texas bbq sauces & a bit of last minute coleslaw as well. When we told Amir we were from the US he let us try the pork ribs which were really amazing! Fresh out of the smoker, juicy, meaty & super flavorful. We tried the bbq pork & brisket immediately after bringing it home & it was great as well. Pulled pork honestly has a very high floor, it's almost never bad, but the brisket was very good. Fatty enough to not be dry. Could have used a tad bit more salt for me but I like my meat pretty salty so it's probably a personal preference. Coleslaw was the "health salad" variety not creamy which isn't standard for BBQ places I've been to but also is my preferred type of coleslaw normally so no complaints there. Both sauces were good & I was happy to hear him clarify South Carolina when I asked if they had Carolina sauce. Both were nice & tangy. All in all a great experience with excellent service & reasonable prices - exactly what I hoped for. Will definitely be back for the full rack of those ribs.
