Patrons encounter a straightforward approach to American-style barbecue traditions with a focus on generous portions and consistent flavor profiles.

Food was fantastic. Just grabbed the Pete Special or combo, so smoked meat sandwich, fries, & fountain drink. Delicious. The ordering/seating process was a bit unusual, but basically you order at the counter & find a spot, & the wait staff will bring your food to you. It was busy when we were there, so if you go with someone else, one person order while the other secures a seat. Right off the highway too, so Montreal road trips in the future will likely have a stop on the way in or out each trip!

We bought smoked meat & ribs to go. The smoked meat was delicious. We can't wait to try the ribs. The sample we tasted was excellent. The restaurant has loud blues playing for those who eat in.

This was Montréal to me. A chill atmosphere with great live rock & roll music, delicious cold beer, savory ribs & smoked meat & fun people of all ages rocking out. I was so happy my friends took me here as I was transported back in time to the band's energetic renditions of the Stones & incredible bands of that era

Delicious smoked meat sandwiches, had a live band playing which was alittle too loud for our taste, but other people were really enjoying themselves. The owner came out to give our kids a free ice cream, very nice touch
