Très bon restaurant avec bonne ambiance & bon service! On a mangé des ailes de poulet, la poutine & les côtes levées. Tout était excellent & les portions sont très généreuses!
Très surprise de ce petit restaurant! On s'attend habituellement qu'un smokehouse soit plus grand. Cet endroit a un beau décor style vintage qui est très agréable. Les prix sont abordables pour la qualité de la bouffe. La bouffe est excellente: poulet hyper tendre, poutine au porc effiloché excellente, brownies au bacon chaud, tendre & gouteux! Miam, c'était tellement bon que j'ai exagéré. J'étais tellement pleine. Service courtois & très rapide.
Personnellement j'ai fait affaire avec le service de traiteur & j'ai été enchantée. Le service à la clientèle à été efficace & courtois & de plus, la nourriture était divine! Mes invités & moi-même avons adorés. La viande est tendre & goûteuse, les portions était généreuses & le tout, livré pile à l'heure prévue. Je vous le recommande. Merci encore pour ce magnifique repas!

The meat was tender & delicious, the terrace had such a great vibe, & I loved that it was dog-friendly. The servers were all so friendly & cheerful, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
I love BBQ. This place has great BBQ. It's a definit must try.
With a wide range of items it was difficult to pick just one
main dish. So, I picked one & my husband picked something else. I chose the brisket sandwich with a side of french fries & coleslaw. The brisket was tender & juicy. The bun, seems like it was a brioche bun, had tons of brisket with a thin layer of pickles. The french fries were homemade & seasoned to perfection with a little bit of a spice. The coleslaw however crunchy, have absolutely no taste. Some salt, pepper, & even some vinegar or mayonnaise would have been very helpful. Next time we eat there I will not order coleslaw. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. Again the brioche fun was loaded with pulled pork & a light barbecue sauce. He selected as his two sides, potato salad & brussel sprouts. Everything that he had was absolutely delicious. I have to try his stuff too.
Service was amazing. The staff was so friendly & helpful. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was inside the restaurant was a little too warm for my liking, so we sat outside in the back under the trees.
Would I go back? Absolutely I can't wait.

Nous avions réservé une heure & demie avant l'heure choisie, & lors de notre arrivée, le restaurant n'était pas prêt à nous recevoir. La serveuse a malgré tout été en mesure de nous placer.
Malheureusement, notre soirée ne s'est pas améliorée à partir de là. Le service n'était pas agréable. La serveuse n'était pas particulièrement patiente.
Il est à noter que la friteuse ne fonctionnait & que donc, il n'y avait pas de frites (& poutine), nachos & ail de poulet. Lorsque nous posions des questions pour nous assurer de ce qu'il y avait, elle semblait à court de patience.
Par la suite, nous avons attendu 35-40 minutes pour la nourriture. C'était correct sans plus.
Il faisait très chaud dans le restaurant.
Nous l'avions choisi en raison des avis, mais nous avons eu une expérience décevante.
I chose here because of its high score.
The napkins burger was delicious & it came with tasty fries.
But, the quality of Wings & brisket were not good. The brisket burnt end was dried & not tasty. Wings are very normal. For their portions, their prices were unfair & expensive.
Service was not good, very late responsive while only two tables inside were occupied & a few outside.
Old & dirty menu gives you bad feelings from the beginning.
I love BBQ, I adore it, but this time I felt regret that why I didn't choose sushi today 😭

Trying to discover new BBQ places around Montreal, found this one through Google search. Small restaurant but big flavours! Pulled pork sandwich was good. Potato salad was the best I ever had in a restaurant thus far. Wings were tasty on their own. I recommend reservations because it is a small place. I only gave 4 stars because the fries were ordinary. Other than that, a surprisingly tasty restaurant despite the decor & size! Will definitely go back!
Stopped in for lunch a few days ago & had a great experience.
We ordered the pulled pork poutine & brisket sandwich with cheese corn & potato salad. Poutine & & potato salad deserve a highlight because they were our favorites. Drink menu had great options & we loved our cocktails.
Overall, food, drinks & service were fantastic. Would come here again!
