Smelled disappointment from the second we walked in, or more accurately didn't smell any of the titular boucane. Served tepid water & told no room on terrace in spite of our birthday reservation. Waited 45 minutes for our drinks, mine had particles floating in it from what I hope was just a dirty glass for my 14$ single shot of bourbon. Waited another hour for the food, so had plenty of time to appreciate the poorly lit & dirty bathrooms. Eventually were given a seat on the terrace & made to stand there while they cleaned it. Brisket burnt ends as others have said are not burnt or ends or glazed, dry & taste boiled. Chicken dry, underseasoned, & definitely not or poorly smoked (where even is the smoker in that miniscule kitchen), ribs were fine but laughably small, sides underseasoned, BBQ sauce watery & sugary, didn't bother with dessert. Staff were disorganized & management seemed to sit around drinking. All in all a disappointing excuse for a so called smokehouse which it clearly is not, just a mediocre, cramped BBQ joint. Nowhere near worth the money & definitely not worth the ridiculous wait. After working in the industry for many years I know a poorly run place when I see it. Do yourself a favor & hard pass.View more

Although there's a pretty terrace out back, the food took over 3 hours & even after waiting hours they only then told us things were out of stock. For a smoke house to be out 3 of their options seemed ridiculous. No pulled pork, no jackfruit, no nachos, no Brussels. Very limited options but only to be told once we'd ordered them & waited for them. Our drinks even took forever to come & the waitress seemed very sarcastic about it all. Wouldn't return even though the food was ok when it came but nothing amazing.View more

Not a fancy place at all, but Food is just plain DELICIOUS! We ordered Ribs, Chicken Wings & Shrimps, all satisfied our taste buds totally! I will definitely come back next time I am in Montreal, & TOTALLY RECOMMEND!View more

What a sad disappointment. Soooo many things that it would take forever to list. The Beef brisket burnt ends are not burnt & not ends .. just small chunks of brisket with a splash of sauce on them. Not even close to being crispy or burnt & definitely not ends. This was at one point, a shining star restaurant for southern style bbq. Sadly, now it's no longer a star but a frowning moon. We would not recommend this restaurant.View more

Loved this place, the food was amazing. My hubby & I took the Pit boss. It was enough for 2 adults & still had leftovers. The kids loved the pulled pork poutine & Mac & cheese. Wasn't too big on the dessert, but was still quite good. The music was really nice & enjoyable. Parking was super hard to find, but will be coming back. Unfortunately I didn't take photos of the food since I was more into eating for 2 hehe :)View more

Delicious burger (5 Napkins), not overcooked, very tender, with melty high-quality cheddar. I liked the choice of sides (got double green salad which was a good portion). They were very accommodating about replacing the bun with lettuce, & even made me a sugar-free mojito, which I enjoyed in their cozy backyard terrace. Overall a good experience & excellent value.View more

Wow wow wow & wowwww! Le service était excellent & accommodant, la serveuse était souriante & était très sympathique. La nourriture était succulente. Je suis un grand amateur de côtes levées & elles étaient parmi les tops que j'ai mangé. La cuisson était très bonne, la sauce parfaite & les côtes étaient charnues. Mon seul regret est que j'habite à Québec & je ne pourrai pas revenir aussi souvent que j'aurais aimé. Mais je vais très certainement revenir!!View more

Went for dinner on a Thursday. The restaurant is very small so don't walk in like I did & instead get a reservation! Everything we ate that night was amazing. The brisket sandwich was one of the best I've ever had & the ribs were cooked perfectly as they fell off the bones. The buttercream pie at the end was very satisfying to eat & the perfect way to wrap up a delicious dinner.View more

Le riz aux fruits de mer est bon. Mais les sashimis(plus de 70$) sont mal, les oursins ne sont pas très frais... Le poulet frit est très croustillant, mais la viande de poulet elle-même n'a pas beaucoup de saveur & est fade...View more

They were a bit off their normal mark tonight. But still enjoyable. They need better fries.View more

Sueper ambiance & la bouffe est juste A1. Belle grosse portion, les wings sont succulentes ainsi que les sauces. Les burgers sont excellentes, les frites sont divines. Belles grosses crevettes bref, tout le monde (5 personnes) a été satisfait de notre sortie au Boucan!View more

I just wanted to let the Internet know that the bartender there knows how to mix a drink. (an area in which I find Montréal to be a constant disappointment) Food is good too. It's a small cozy place, doesn't have that "contemporary" (read cold O.R.) feeling which I love.View more
