Review Summary

Taken together, reviews depict Lattuca Barbecue as a standout Texas style smokehouse in Montreal with generous portions and a focus on tender, smoky meats like brisket and beef ribs that many visitors consider among the best outside Texas. The sides such as mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans are frequently praised for flavor, though a few comments note issues with temperature or consistency and some meat being slightly dry or overly salty. A verbally delivered menu and the absence of a fixed menu are repeatedly mentioned, along with occasional service flaws, wait times, and higher prices, especially for sharing platters. The atmosphere is described as warm, casual, and welcoming with attentive staff and a clear passion for pit cooking, drawing locals and visitors from far away who often say the experience is worth the trip. Overall, the brisket and beef ribs emerge as the standout items that keep guests returning, even as some visits remind that peak times can impact service and value.

First time eating here, but it will not be out last! Incredible smoked meats, but the brisket is something special! Highly recommend for fellow carnivores.

J'ai trouvé que les portions étaient plus petites qu'avant, est-ce possible? Nous étions 4 (2 adultes & 2 enfants) & nos assiettes étaient complètement vides. J'en aurais pris plus, quitte à payer plus cher.

J'aurais pris un 3e drink, mais la serveuse ne l'a jamais offert.

La viande était exquise, comme d'habitude.

Le brisket & le pulled pork sont tellement bons. (Nous n'avons pas essayé le reste pour le moment). Service sympa & détendu. Bon , mon envie de frites un peu déçue mais les accompagnements proposés sont délicieux. Une bonne adresse pour une soirée avec un bon repas mais sans prétention.

John made it extra special for our son's birthday. That kind of caring ensures we will be back & refer others to the restaurant. Thanks John & staff!

Visiting Montreal from Australia & was craving some American BBQ. Lattuca did not disappoint. Decent servings of meat with multiple options. Side options included Coleslaw, smoked beans plus Mac n cheese. Worth the visit! Beers are cold, plenty of other drink options. Thanks for the great hospitality.

Best bbq in town, beef ribs falls off the bone & the brisket...to die for. Don't see how people gave this less than 5 as it's one of the best BBQ I've had in my life. Can't believe it's my first time at lattuca but can't wait to have it again!

They changed the plate deal. Now you pay 35$ for underwhelming amounts of meat. I went 9 months ago & my plate was massive & worth it. This time the plate was half empty & just disappointing to look at, they improved the beans, at the expense of coleslaw (nasty) I won't return due to the greedflation

Phenomenal barbecue! Some of the best brisket I've ever had, & I grew up in Texas. This place is a real gem. Excellent food in a cozy atmosphere.

Service was curt. $20 sharing plate fee. Not child friendly. Menu very limited. Overall not accommodating. Food was good, small portions.
