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 !

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!
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.

Belle place, comme entrée'cornichons frit' on a adoré ! j'ai pris le'Brisket' vraiment délicieux avec une sauce barbecue comme plat principal, ma fille quant à elle à prit le sandwich au porc éffiloché, elle a ajouté unpeu de mayo, comme accompagnement salade de choux & frites. Je vais y retourner c'est certain, mais je vous conseille de réserver surtout la fin de semaine !
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.
We went for the 14.99$ unlimited wings Tuesday special & it honestly exceeded my expectations by far.
The wings were HUGE & so well cooked, flavourful & smoky before even adding sauce. There were many sauce choices, from memory BBQ, Ranch, Kansas, Demon, Jalapeno, chipotle mayo & blue cheese- they were all good but Kansas & BBQ were the overall favs.
You get fries with your first serving of wings as well. & yes, they keep bringing them until you're winged out!
Our waiter Phil was awesome, super friendly & quick with everything. Like actually made our entire dining experience better.
Insane value for money, WILL be back, HIGHLY recommend!

The reviews are incentivized so you know it's mid. Servers were nice though obviously overwhelmed. The server sections made no sense, it seemed like table around us was a different server. The wings were OK. They are smoked with sauce on the side. Worth the money if you can eat lots!
It was my first visit & with high expectations from the rating, I wanted to try everything on the menu, so I chose the pork ribs & brisket combo meal.
The barbecue sauce has that delicious flavor we were expecting.. pulled pork it's tasty.
However, the pork ribs were lean & dry, falling apart easily. It was far from being chewy. The fries at the bottom seemed like they were fried in old oil, as they were almost black, lacking crispness & nuttiness. The fried chicken had the same color as if it was fried in the same oil, with no distinct flavor.
Considering the high ratings, I was disappointed.
These days, finding good restaurants has become an essential part of my travels, so I've become more careful with rating.
This is a barbecue specialty restaurant, & I hope more effort & investment will be put into both the main dishes & the sides.
Assuming takeout experience varies from in person greatly, will have to stop by in person to see the difference sometime! Ordered myself the Dixie combo for the holidays, first impression was SO much fries. This honestly feeds one person even though it's listed as two people if you don't count the fries. Portions were pretty small, but it looks amazing in the photos for sure. Brisket & ribs were solid, if not a little dry. Everything else was quite overcooked, wish there was more bbq sauce since that made it pretty awesome & brought back the moisture. Without the sauce, could be better. Best potato salad was super mid, same with the slaw. Pulled pork also had ZERO sauce & was just full pepper, no other flavour. Overall I'm still happy with this, it was a good treat & I enjoyed it. Just comparing to previous experiences. Very dry/overcooked & in terms of flavour it's all Pepper & so much of it. (Pic with cat was round 2 with leftovers) Corn bread honestly wasn't great. Gravy was also just pure pepper.
Food was fine. The presentation was good. The sauces overpowered the meat flavour, it did not matter much if you were eating beef or pork. I would say the brisket & the pull pork were the best. Outside the meats: The baked beans were really good.

Je suis tombé sur ce restaurant en faisant une recherche sur le web. La réservation en ligne s'est très bien déroulée, sans embûches. Nous y sommes allés un samedi soir, bonne ambiance. Préférable de réserver à l'avance compte-tenu de la popularité de l'endroit. Nous aimerions avoir eu un service un peu plus rapide car un de nous devait aller travailler mais notre serveuse était très compréhensive, professionnelle & attentive. Nous avons commandé le plat de brisket, portion généreuse, sauce bbq très bonne. Plat à reprendre définitivement. ------------------------- I discovered this restaurant while searching online. The online reservation process was seamless & straightforward. We dined there on a Saturday evening, & the atmosphere was pleasant. Given the popularity of the establishment, I recommend making reservations in advance. We would have appreciated slightly faster service as one of our party needed to leave for work, but our waitress was very understanding, professional, & attentive. We ordered the brisket dish, which came with a generous portion & excellent BBQ sauce. It's a dish we'll definitely order again.
I wouldn't recommend ordering out. I placed a pickup order for their fried chicken & brisket on the side. I'll start with the most egregious thing: the brisket was disgusting. I have to assume they reserve bad batches for people who order out since this is reflected in other reviews. Fat was congealed on the side, it was chewy, salty, & dry. It looked like it had been left out for too long. I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Besides that, the box was placed sideways in the bag causing the sauce & beans to pool onto one side of the container. The cups they were in had lids but the heat in the container completely warped them. This meant that one of the pieces of chicken was soaked in bbq sauce, losing any other flavor. bbq sauce spilled all over my table when I opened it up. The only reason this is two stars is because of the unsauced chicken, which was decently yummy.
Nourriture exceptionnelle, nous avons prit le combo #5 avec cotes levées & briskey avec frites cajun & legume du moment (brocoli frit), c'était délectable. Le brisket fond dans la bouche & les côtes levés très bonnes avec la sauce BBQ. Nous avions aussi prit un extra morceau de poulet frit pour y gouter. Fine panure croustillante avec du poulet juteux pas sec du tout. Pour le prix, c'était environ 30$ par assiette + 4$ pour l'extra poulet. Tx & tip comprit m'a couté dans les 80$ pour 2 Bon service rapide, par contre ils devraient mettre un pichet d'eau sur les tables car nous avions des petits verres & nous avions terminé notre eau rapidement & j'ai du demander 3x de l'eau avant qu'ils reviennent nous en donner, mais sinon tout était parfait. C'est vraiment le meilleur BBQ à montréal
