Le Boucan est décrit comme un petit smokehouse chaleureux, offrant de généreuses portions et une large gamme de choix barbecue, où le brisket tendre, les côtes levées qui fondent et le porc effiloché fumé sont souvent loués, tout comme les ailes et des plats comme la poutine et les choux de Bruxelles. L'ambiance est notée comme vivante, décontractée et dans un style cowboy, avec une terrasse accessible aux chiens et souvent citée comme un point positif. Le service est fréquemment sympathique et efficace, bien que certaines visites signalent des commandes plus lentes et des serveurs inattentifs ou une salle un peu chaude. Collectivement, Le Boucan est perçu comme une bonne adresse pour un BBQ réconfortant, proposant des saveurs de qualité, des portions généreuses et une sélection de plats appréciés, avec des réservations recommandées car l'endroit est petit et prisé.
Delicious BBQ! We got the pit boss platter to share & everything was very good. Service was fast, but felt a little rushed when we were placing our order. The place feels run down, specially the washroom. It puts gas station toilets' reputation as the dirtiest & most run down washrooms to shame. Food is good, the rest not so much.

After spending a whole month all over Canada, this is hands down the best smokehouse we ate at. We had a platter with pork ribs, pulled port, smoked chicken, & a dish of salmon. Everything was just perfect. Big portions. Highly recommended.
Restaurant à la déco typique & à la cuisine délicieuse : ribs, burger & effiloché de porc terriblement bon... Découverte de la tarte babeurre un délice & du brownies bacon à tester pour ceux qui aiment le sucré salé & pour combler le tout un service au top Merci pour cette soirée & la bougie ;)
Smelled disappointment from the second we walked in, or more accurately didn't smell any of the titular boucane. Served tepid water & told no room on terrace in spite of our birthday reservation. Waited 45 minutes for our drinks, mine had particles floating in it from what I hope was just a dirty glass for my 14$ single shot of bourbon. Waited another hour for the food, so had plenty of time to appreciate the poorly lit & dirty bathrooms. Eventually were given a seat on the terrace & made to stand there while they cleaned it. Brisket burnt ends as others have said are not burnt or ends or glazed, dry & taste boiled. Chicken dry, underseasoned, & definitely not or poorly smoked (where even is the smoker in that miniscule kitchen), ribs were fine but laughably small, sides underseasoned, BBQ sauce watery & sugary, didn't bother with dessert. Staff were disorganized & management seemed to sit around drinking. All in all a disappointing excuse for a so called smokehouse which it clearly is not, just a mediocre, cramped BBQ joint. Nowhere near worth the money & definitely not worth the ridiculous wait. After working in the industry for many years I know a poorly run place when I see it. Do yourself a favor & hard pass.
Although there's a pretty terrace out back, the food took over 3 hours & even after waiting hours they only then told us things were out of stock. For a smoke house to be out 3 of their options seemed ridiculous. No pulled pork, no jackfruit, no nachos, no Brussels. Very limited options but only to be told once we'd ordered them & waited for them. Our drinks even took forever to come & the waitress seemed very sarcastic about it all. Wouldn't return even though the food was ok when it came but nothing amazing.
Not a fancy place at all, but Food is just plain DELICIOUS! We ordered Ribs, Chicken Wings & Shrimps, all satisfied our taste buds totally! I will definitely come back next time I am in Montreal, & TOTALLY RECOMMEND!
What a sad disappointment. Soooo many things that it would take forever to list. The Beef brisket burnt ends are not burnt & not ends .. just small chunks of brisket with a splash of sauce on them. Not even close to being crispy or burnt & definitely not ends. This was at one point, a shining star restaurant for southern style bbq. Sadly, now it's no longer a star but a frowning moon. We would not recommend this restaurant.
Loved this place, the food was amazing. My hubby & I took the Pit boss. It was enough for 2 adults & still had leftovers. The kids loved the pulled pork poutine & Mac & cheese. Wasn't too big on the dessert, but was still quite good. The music was really nice & enjoyable. Parking was super hard to find, but will be coming back. Unfortunately I didn't take photos of the food since I was more into eating for 2 hehe :)
Delicious burger (5 Napkins), not overcooked, very tender, with melty high-quality cheddar. I liked the choice of sides (got double green salad which was a good portion). They were very accommodating about replacing the bun with lettuce, & even made me a sugar-free mojito, which I enjoyed in their cozy backyard terrace. Overall a good experience & excellent value.

Wow wow wow & wowwww! Le service était excellent & accommodant, la serveuse était souriante & était très sympathique. La nourriture était succulente. Je suis un grand amateur de côtes levées & elles étaient parmi les tops que j'ai mangé. La cuisson était très bonne, la sauce parfaite & les côtes étaient charnues. Mon seul regret est que j'habite à Québec & je ne pourrai pas revenir aussi souvent que j'aurais aimé. Mais je vais très certainement revenir!!
Went for dinner on a Thursday. The restaurant is very small so don't walk in like I did & instead get a reservation! Everything we ate that night was amazing. The brisket sandwich was one of the best I've ever had & the ribs were cooked perfectly as they fell off the bones. The buttercream pie at the end was very satisfying to eat & the perfect way to wrap up a delicious dinner.
