Absolutely worth your time & money. This place is worth the stop, just don't park in a bus lane.

Porc Taco (Memphis sauce)
Coleslaw
Pulled Chicken (BBQ Honey Sauce)
Potato Salad
Stopped by here & for dinner & left EXTREMELY SATISFIED. We ordered the buddy combo & brisket. The brisket literally fell apart as you pick it up & just melts in your mouth. The ribs in the buddy combo were full of flavour. The pulled pork paired with the toast was absolute perfection. The chicken was tender & full of flavour even better with hot sauce. The owner was extremely kind & patient when we were confused about the menu. The interior had a vintage feel & had books & games to borrow. Overall I would definitely stop by, the food is amazing & so is the service!
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.
I went to Bofinger today for lunch with a couple of friends. They recommended this place so we went. Two of my friends ordered the portobello mushroom sandwich with French fries. I ordered roasted chicken breast with fries & another friend ordered pork ribs with fries. I had black cherry soda as a drink. Although I am not a soda drinker at all but I gave this a try & was ok but sweet for me but others may like it. All were satisfied with their orders. What I appreciate that they make fresh french fries, they do not use frozen ones as other restaurants. There was only one man serving. He was the cashier & the cook. We were the first 4 customers & then two others came. Regarding being solo in the restaurant the speed of the service was good & he was nice & cheerful. I knew that with a combo, you get a free drink but from Monday to Friday. The washrooms are clean & the atmosphere of the place is positive & cozy. The playlist songs they had was really good & revealed a good taste in music. All in all I recommend this place, especially for the pork ribs' lovers:)
