Nous avons été servis par Vince & un autre serveur je ne me souviens malheureusement pas du nom, première expérience & j'ai adoré du début à la fin, service rapide, le staff est courtois & effectif, superbe expérience, j'ai essayé le brisket & la viande était excellente !! Je recommande ce resto à tous!!
Very cool spot, good for dressing down or dressing up, food was really good except the brisket was nothing great unfortunately. Service was fairly quick & would recommend trying. Located in a nice area also, good for walking around.
We needed a place to watch hockey in a fun, loud, energetic atmosphere with the right kind of food. & we found exactly that.
But before we get to that, I need to talk about something that genuinely caught us off guard.
We originally booked for 6:45 p.m. before the game was announced because every game in the series had been at 7. Naturally, the NHL, in their infinite wisdom, decided that a Saturday night playoff game in Montreal should start at 8 p.m. instead. 🤷?♂?
The next day, the restaurant called us proactively to ask if we wanted to move our reservation closer to puck drop.
What??!
I genuinely cannot remember the last time we experienced that level of attention. That's not hospitality you can fake. That's culture. & I hope they never lose that.
The service fully matched that energy.
Busy playoff night. Packed house. Yet somehow our server was very attentive the entire night. Detailed, quick, checking in. We should've gotten his name because he crushed it. Whoever says Gen Z doesn't know service clearly hasn't met this guy.
We started with pitchers of beer because… sports.
Brisket sliders & Buffalo popcorn chicken, which, in hindsight, may have offended the hockey gods a little considering the opponent 😅, but both were excellent.
For mains, a double smash burger that deserves to be in the conversation with some of the better smash burgers we've had, & the Nashville chicken sandwich was excellent too.
Great food. Fast service. Strong drinks. Perfect TV layout. An all-around super fun atmosphere for sports.
I could see this becoming our go-to spot for playoff games & big sports nights.
Next time though, we're ordering more BBQ… & hopefully taking better photos. 😅

Nourriture excellente, avec une brisket absolument incontournable. Je recommande aussi de prendre quelques sauces pour varier, surtout la sweet habanero. Les cocktails sont tous très bons.
Seul bémol : le service en fin de repas. On nous a donné la carte des desserts à 19h28, puis la serveuse est revenue seulement à 19h51 pour nous dire qu'on devait quitter à 20h à cause d'une autre réservation. Sachant cela, le service aurait dû être accéléré ou l'avertissement donné plus tôt, ce qui aurait évité de devoir finir notre cocktail à la hâte & partir sans dessert.
J'y retournerai quand même pour voir si l'expérience est différente une prochaine fois.
Excellent service de la part de Chan Olivier & de Kellyann. La nourriture était très bonne. Coup de coeur pour le brisket, le pain de maïs & le mac'n cheese.
Dès l'entrée, le coup de coeur est immédiat : l'ambiance est chaleureuse, la musique parfaite, la décoration soignée & le service impeccable. Tout le cadre est réuni pour passer une agréable soirée.
Côté assiette, les saveurs sont au rendez-vous.
Les côtes levées se détachent bien de l'os, mais la viande était raide. La brisket avait un bon goût fumé, bien que la texture se rapprochait davantage d'un smoked meat que d'une brisket traditionnelle. Le pulled pork était bien parti, mais
en prenant des portions la viande devenait trempée. La salade César, elle, était excellente.
Nous fumons nos viandes à la maison, ce qui influence certainement nos attentes en la matière. Le goût était là, c'est indéniable, pour les amateurs de fumoir / BBQ, la cuisson pourrait être peaufinée.
Une adresse à considérer pour l'ambiance & l'expérience globale, avec l'espoir de voir les viandes atteindre leur plein potentiel.
