I ordered through Uber eats, the chicken was overcooked & sweeter than I thought, I didn't really enjoy it. the fries was just OK, nothing special so I'm not really a big fan

Beef ribs just bones & overcooked like beef jerky. Brisket good but dry. Wife had bbq chicken & vomited at home. Fries were old & overcooked. Discovered Jack Flats - soooo much better.
On a cold winter night, after a full weekend of tournament volleyball, my daughter & I were gearing up for the long drive back to Toronto. Before tackling a 5+ hour stretch on the 401, I knew we needed a proper Montréal meal to send us off the right way-especially fresh off a GOLD medal win, we were in full celebration mode.
Diablos BBQ popped up on the map, & it turned out to be the perfect choice. The menu is straightforward, & the food quality is absolutely top-tier. As someone who's been cooking over charcoal for years & has hosted plenty of BBQ gatherings, I can confidently say this is the real deal-authentic BBQ lives here.
From flavor to presentation, everything was on point. The beef ribs & fried chicken were next level, & the brisket left me wishing I'd ordered more. Portions were generous, prices were more than reasonable, & the service was fantastic. The owner was especially welcoming-you can immediately feel the passion & pride he has in his craft & his restaurant.
We left full, happy, & ready for the drive home. That meal made the night-& the long ride back to Toronto-even better.
I had all you can eat chicken wings.
All in all they were Ok… for 15$ you can't go wrong… this said their dipping sauces were a little thin & liquid… did not really stick to them… that would have to be corrected.
My wife & a freind took 1/4 chicken leg & brisket.
Brisket was very dry !!! That's a NO NO !
Brisket is best when moist. Overall comment of dipping sauce… way to sweet.
Adjustments are required for a satisfied customer ! My wife wasn't very impressed !
She was dying for greens to accompany her plate (salad or something) but all they had was greasy deep fried broccoli… Eeeyeuuu 😭… not a happy camper !
Overall service was ok… our waiter was attentive to our needs & very freindly.
The place was packed & atmosphere ok… a little CAGE AU SPORT.
Overall we tried it but won't repeat the experience ! Must admit I did not try their ribs… to bad !
If you go ALL U CAN EAT WINGS for 15$ is a winner !
Food is slightly above average. Fries/poutine goes crazy however. Potato salad eh. Beans okay if u like sweet. Fried chicken best meat. Brisket was decent too!
The ribs are so delicious it's heavenly!!! The brisket also hits right there in the spot! The fries are nice & crunchy & well seasoned with some kind of spicy. The chicken was ok, a bit dey but its fine.
Overall, if you love bbq, you must try their ribs & brisket.

Smoked chicken was good. Cajun fries were ok & the coleslaw. The beef brisket was full of fat. The ribs were hardened with burnt sugar from the sauce. The ribs were resting on top of fish. We could taste fish on one set of ribs. The potato salad did not have any flavour. The fried broccoli was dripping with oil & tasted like it was reheated in the microwave. There was an issue with our order but the waitress addressed it right away.
Music was a little loud but we were seated right under a speaker. It was quiet on a Sunday evening. Food was 100% legit (take that from a southern girl). Chicken was moist! Pork & ribs were great. My favourite was the brisket, PERFECTLY COOKED! The homemade BBQ sauce is more of a bold flavour rather than a sweet Carolina sauce (which is my preference) but thats okay! The only difference between this place & its southern counterparts is the assortment of BBQ sauces (up to 4 in most places!). I would suggest adding fresh corn for the summer menu. Prices were very reasonable. If you're from the south & looking for a taste of home in Montreal, you've found it!

Phil mixed us up a yummy Hurricane & Long Island iced tea.
He challenged us to pick our favorite meat from the small Dixie. I am torn between the smoked fried chicken & brisket. The ribs were my man's #1. All in all, everything was delicious. You can taste the love in all the kitchen put out.
We went there last week, my boyfriend & I, as I had spotted the place while looking for a good place to eat (that we hadn't tried yet). The inside was empty since it was a Wednesday evening, but lots of people sat in the terrace. We got combos 1 & 3, those are combos with 2 options of meat+2 sides. Those are great since you get to try 2 options out of their menu. My boyfriend got the #1, 1/4 chicken+ ribs, with fries X2, & I got the #3, 1/4 chicken + brisket, with fries & veggies of the day. The food was DELICIOUS 🤤 Perfectly cooked & seasoned, with additional dip on the side for the meat or fries. The service was slow & it took quite some time to get the bill, but they seemed to be low on staff (week day) & I kept hearing about plates being ready so it might just be the timing. Anyhow, we'll definitely go back & try their all-you-can-eat chicken wing on a Tuesday.
Diablo's Barbecue Smokehouse is a must-try! The brisket was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth. The beans, macaroni & cheese, & chicken were also fantastic. The 80s atmosphere & hitlist music added a fun, nostalgic vibe. Plus, the staff were friendly & knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Stopped here because we were missing our Kansas City barbecue. We got the platter for two, which included a little pulled pork, two slices of brisket, two pieces of chicken, & coleslaw, beans & gravy. Forgot the ribs which was the main part. Also, on the platter was french fries. The pulled pork was our least favorite as it was pretty dry. The chicken really did have good flavor to it, & the ribs were also fall off the bone tender but a little too heavily sauced for our liking. We also Got a side of pork belly burnt & they were good but again a little too sauced for us. Overall, not a bad place if you're craving some good barbecue.
The wings were very dry, tasted like they were left in the smoker for too long. The sauces were good tho. Just don't expect much from the all you can eat chicken wings.
