Les Assoiffés Smokehouse shines with a warm, casual atmosphere, attentive service and a strong craft beer list that enhances a menu built around bold smoked flavors. Diners praise the Pitmaster platter and brisket for tenderness and depth, with pulled pork, chicken and sausages earning consistent praise and sides like mac n cheese and cornbread delivering comfort along the way. The experience is frequently described as friendly, welcoming and lively, with staff going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant visit and to satisfy groups. The terrasse and overall vibe make it a social, family friendly spot that many would recommend for a fun night out centered on barbecue and good drinks. While a few dishes show some variation in texture or sauce balance, the overall quality, generous portions and well curated beer selections encourage return visits.
Food : I am a lover of all meat & even more smoked meat! So i was disappointed. We ordered the texan plateau for 2. The brisket was ok ...a bit dry...the beef ribs much better but there was little to no meat unfortunately & the chicken was ok. I may have had too much expectations after reading all the reviews.
Service: was ok but i found special that they placed us under the AC which was on & cold & i had to insist to have a table else where when it was almost empty. I suggested a table but the waitress refused saying there was a reservation but non one came.
It is true that the atmosphere is really nice, the location ...great & i can imagine how cool it could be to have drink there...inside or outside. We did not try other items on the menu so i can't really talk about it.
First time here so this is my review. The place is very nice & cozy, both outside & inside. The service was great. The variety of beers is perfect. Regarding the food, we ordered a mix of several meats to share & taste: the chicken was perfect, the pulled pork was good, the brisket was OK & the ribs were not good, they were tasty but so overcooked, no tenderness or sense of freshness, could've been much better.

Le brisket est insane ici, une des meilleures touches de ce restaurant est la vaste selection de bière. Il on aussi un plateau découverte au choix de 4 biere
GREAT barbecue! Our new go-to favorite restaurant in St. Lambert.
LOVED the beef ribs, pulled pork, chicken, the barbecue sauces, & the Mac'n' Cheese with beef brisket.
Plus more. LOVED the wide selection of draft beers! Please especially consider the Péché Mortel Dieu du Ciel ('Deadly Sin God of Heaven') strong coffee stout. It pairs excellently with barbecue. But moreover, this beer is THE single BEST coffee stout I have ever drank! A decadent dessert & a coffee all in one beer.
J'étais avec mon amiau Smoke House Les Assoiffés & je dois dire que tout était parfait. Le service ? Rien à redire, il était exceptionnel ! Marianne a vraiment pris soin de nous - attentionnée, super sympa, & elle a tout fait pour rendre notre expérience agréable.
Quant à la nourriture, wow ! Le plateau Pitmaster était un régal : le brisket, tendre & super savoureux, les saucisses, une vraie délice, & le poulet, tendre & juteux, tout avait ce goût fumé juste comme il faut. & le Barbi Brunello, quelle superbe bouteille de vin, parfaite pour accompagner le tout. On a aussi testé quelques-unes de leurs bières de microbrasserie, & là aussi, ça ne nous a pas déçus !
Franchement, si tu cherches un endroit pour passer un bon moment entre amis ou en famille, avec une excellente nourriture & un service au top, c'est Les Assoiffés. Une expérience à ne pas manquer !

Nous avons passé une soirée mémorable aux Assoiffés, un vrai bijou pour les amateurs de smoke house. Le service était tout simplement impeccable, & nous tenons à remercier spécialement Marianne, notre serveuse, pour son accueil chaleureux, son écoute attentive & la grande qualité de son service. Elle a su rendre notre expérience encore plus agréable grâce à sa présence professionnelle & attentionnée.
Côté cuisine, j'ai opté pour le plateau Pitmaster, & que dire… Tout était délicieux. Le brisket, fondant & riche en saveur, les saucisses, pleines de goût, & le poulet, tendre & juteux à souhait. Chaque élément du plateau avait ce goût fumé authentique & parfaitement maîtrisé.
Le tout accompagné d'une bouteille de Barbi Brunello, un accord absolument divin avec les viandes. Nous avons également dégusté quelques-unes de leurs bières de microbrasserie, toutes aussi bien choisies que savoureuses.
Bref, une expérience gastronomique généreuse, raffinée & chaleureuse. Nous avons été réellement choyés du début à la fin. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir !
Nous avons tout essayé. Pull pork juteux, ailes généreuses, côtes levées un peu plus coriaces, brisket décevant (sec & trop fumé). Bonne sélection de bières & de vins. Personnel accueillant. L'addition est un peu élevée pour le type de restaurant. Malheureusement, c'était très bruyant.
Overall I would give 3.5/5.
Very friendly service & nice atmosphere.
The food is hit & miss. Excellent coleslaw & smoked salmon, but the meat is dry. The mac n cheese is a let down, it lacks of flavor & brisket.

NEW & BEST smokehouse in St-Lambert. Must try the smoked salmon, pork belly, pulled pork, brisket & ribs. It's full of flavor, perfectly smoked & quality pieces of meat. The side dishes that you must pick is the Baked Potato & the Cole Slaw helps to cleanse the palate. The atmosphere is friendly & the service is amazing. They have a LARGE selection of wine, craft beers & bourbon.
