Nothing fancy about this place but best smoked meat anywhere. Tried chicken & rib but I was disappointed. I did not like the spare rib type of sauce.

Superb Montreal style smoked meat served up in many dishes. We tried it on the traditional deli sandwich, poutine, spaghetti, all compelling. The meals were freshly prepared, the meat peppery & juicy, even the odd pasta combo balanced the unusual pairing. Friendly & patient service, relaxed crowd vibe, pleasant roadhouse decor.
