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.
Lattuca, quelle belle découverte. La côte de boeuf, les côtes de porc, le porc effiloché ainsi que la brisket servi avec choix de mac&cheese, fèves au lard & salade de chou le tout est fait maison 😋. La viande est succulente sa fond dans la bouche & que dire du goût qui est plus que parfait. Le tout préparé par John le proprietaire qui est d'un accueil chaleureux & que dire du service de sont équipe, si petite mais très efficace. Merci beaucoup John !
Pas de cote de boeuf très décevant. Le reste correct pas le meilleur que nous avons mangé. Très long pour avoir nos drinks, le margarita épicé était excellent par contre. MacNCheese aurait pu être plus chaud. Nous nous attendions à plus!

I had 2 different people tell me how "amazing"the food was. I was therefore expecting something off the charts good. The food was decent, nothing more. Very slow service. It took a good 15 minutes to get our drinks & the place was half empty. There was a big poster of a micro brewery on the wall, but they didn't have their beers Very nice staff.
Best BBQ in town. Great music. Amazing staff...friendly, efficient & passionate. Spoke to the owner/cook, his passion for cuisine is unmatched.The food is exquisite & plentiful. Can't say enough positive things about this resto!

Nous avons pris les ribs de boeuf (incroyables), le brisket (le meilleur qu'on a mangé), les ribs de porc (délicieux), le porc effiloché (excellent) & le poulet, avec accompagnement de macaroni au fromage & baked beans: c'était un repas parfait. On y retournera, c'est certain!
I've been wanting to go here forever. Turns out I should have waited longer.... Food was cold, portions were ok, but overall disappointed. Waitress was really nice, they didn't know how to make a black velvet, she tried messed it up said it was on the house wound up on the bill anyway.

Very tasty - simple menu - all things smoked! The sides to choose from were as delicious as the main bbq feature. The cocktails were delicious I had the bourbon sweet tea - might run me into a bourbon drinker?! The restaurant is small & busy- be sure to make a reservation. A table near us had ordered a type of platter all sorts & of BBQ meat the ribs were enormous! 10/10 would eat here again!
Foods really good. Would have like a 2-3 fresh bread roles with the meal & dessert offered at the end. The chickens was missing from the 5 meats. Would have been nice At least one dessert.. so as it was a bday & mentioned on my reservation.. could have arranged a bday sing along. But its ok. At Lattuca its a different approach which is fine & food is very very good

La nourriture était bonne & le service cordial, merci. Si vous voulez des idées pour améliorer l'expérience:
- considérer donner un menu aux clients pour clarifier les options & éviter les répétitions & confusions
- considérer une carte de 2-3 desserts simples
- considérer avoir du vin blanc en stock
- considérer de mieux indiquer les différents items sur la facture (tout est écrit comme viande, même la boisson)
- considérer baisser un peu la musique (car les gens qui discutent font déjà beaucoup d'écho dans la pièce)
Some meat cuts like beef rib was dry & the chicken had the greasy skin which is a weird choice. It felt a bit reheated unfortunately...brisket was really good & service was really sweet! Also got a sweet tea with bourbon which was good & affordable.
Food is Amazing you can't go wrong 😋 Farnham Beer Fantastic! Service is phenomenal Kaelyn is a sweetie & will answer all you needs, all in all 100% recommended. 👍👍
