Overall, reviews highlight Lattuca Barbecue as a standout Texas style smokehouse with generous portions and deeply flavorful meats such as brisket, beef ribs, pulled pork and smoked chicken, often described as tender and juicy with sides like mac and cheese, beans and coleslaw that add to the experience. The atmosphere is noted to be welcoming and family friendly, and the staff is frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, giving the impression of an authentic and exciting dining scene. A few criticisms address inconsistent service, no menu or verbal menus, long waits, and high prices for what is offered, with occasional comments about sides being cold or a dish not living up to the hype. Despite these caveats, many reviews say the brisket and ribs are superb and that Lattuca Barbecue is a must try for BBQ lovers visiting Montreal, often earning repeat visits and strong recommendations.
Viande toujours aussi incroyable. J'y vais depuis l'ouverture & n'ai jamais goûté à un meilleur Brisket. Bien entendu c'est un BBQ, donc faut s'attendre à cette ambiance & style de resto. Mais la simplicité n'enlève rien à l'expérience & surtout au goût. Bravo John!

Most underwhelming bbq I've ever had. All the meats were dry, tasted unremarkable & the portions are laughably small. Even the pork rib (SINGULAR rib...) wasn't great & that's usually the thing that most American style bbq spots get right. The mac n cheese & the beans were pretty good, however.
Our waitress, Marissa, was the only highlight of my afternoon at Lattuca. She's awesome & has great service. No physical menu means she has to remember everything by heart & I give her props for that. Unfortunately, it won't be enough for me to ever return here.
The brisket & the pork ribs were the best meat I have had in my life! So damn flavorful & melt in your mouth. Dont worry about the small menu. Its small because it takes work to perfect it to that taste
If you are in Montreal you got to try this place. Life changing food 😋
The beef rib was pure heaven; comparative to bbq I have had in Dallas/Austin. Only criticism would be the lack of menus. My partner & I are both neurodivergent - we both need a printed menu or we're completely lost. The food & drinks were delicious though! We'll happily be back.
Le staff & proprietaire servie a notre table vraiment chic type John & son équipe bouffe vraiment Sud ameriCain tellement succulent que c'est notre prochaine sortie

Meilleur viandes jamais goûté !
Il est à mon goût que d'essayer les « barbecues » des endroits dans lesquels je voyage & laissez moi vous dire que si je dois mélanger l'accueil, la discussion avec john, le lieu & l'expérience culinaire je donnerai un réel 9/10.
Le goût le savoir faire & être. Tout y est MERCI !
Je reviendrai c'est certain.
Very welcoming environment, food was amazing & the verbal menu was my favourite thing about it. No need of thinking about what you're gonna eat or what's good, it's all good!
We came up from Vermont to visit Montreal & thought we'd give this place a try with zero expectations. My wife & I both lived in the south for years & I've eaten BBQ in many places in Texas, so we can be a bit snobby. All I can say is WOW! This is bar none the best I've had. I couldn't believe that there were anything less than 5 star reviews, but after reading some of the lower ratings, those folks were not looking for what an actual BBQ joint offers, amazing meats. Everything else is a bonus. This place delivers! Show up early for a bigger selection, show up late for bonus portions! We will definitely be back!
Le service est minable. Je me suis déplacé à l'ouverture du restaurant pour faire un commande à emporter & on a refusé de me servir. Préférant garder leurs stocks pour de potentiels clients qui viendront peut-être plus tard manger sur place.

Best BBQ I've ever had - we had the beef brisket, chicken & pulled pork with mac & cheese, coleslaw & smoked beans. This is the best meal we've had during our trip to Montreal & already looking forward to visiting again. The service, experience & price point is unbeatable.
This is easily one of the hidden gems in Old Montreal! Can't recommend it enough for delicious BBQ. The food is clearly made with love & the old school way, service is excellent & everything is very reasonably priced. My wife & I had a wonderful time & enjoyed everything served. The brisket, smoked beans & Mac n cheese was the best we've ever had! We will be visiting here everytime we come to Montreal
Le 12 avril vers 8:40, j'appelle pour avoir de l'informations, puisque qu'il n'y a aucun menu en ligne, le monsieur au téléphone était très arrogant sans aucune raison valable, commence à m'insulter & me raccroche au nez violemment. Inacceptable en 2026 de se faire traiter de ce genre au téléphone
. Tout ça parce que j'essaye de m'informer au sujet du style de menu de choix de viandes étant donné que le menu doordash n'est pas le même que sur les photos Google. Le propriétaire devrait absolument renvoyer cet individu ingras qui lui fait perdre des clients. Pas la peine d'essayer & se sentir intimidé.
Même pas eu le temps de me venir déjà dégoûter… 20h40 dimanche 12 avril j'appelle à ce restaurant pour venir manger on me traite comme un chien battut au téléphone. Tanner d'être mal reçu au téléphone en 2026 faut que le propriétaire soit au courant de son personnel malveillant.

Great place to go if you are looking for a great dish of brisket, ribs, smoked chicken. The cocktails were really good too. This was our first visit but this restaurant has been included in our list of favorites ones. John the owner is a very kind, sweet & passionate of his work. Thanks John & your team for a beautiful dinner & evening 😀.
