What a experience… from the beginning till the end, me & my wife got there house made drinks which were extremely refreshing & savoury following the drinks came the Mac & cheese then the smash burger & 1lb brisket( & don't get me started on their fries & salads & slaw for once a place that understands what coating every piece of green in a salad there not cheap with the dressings) & to finish off a key lime pie. I must say from the drinks that we got were 10/10 the Mac & cheese 10/10 best Mac & cheese I've eaten at a restaurant hands down. I will say it again their smash burgers has to be the best smash burger I've eaten & that's to say I've tried a lot of the smash burgers here including mange dans mon hood which is now a top 5 best smash burger according to a recent article, with confidence I can say the smash burger from Willie's beats it no comparison.. & the brisket I was a huge fan of flat jack there still decent but Willie's brisket is top tier even after I've had my few shares with other smoke houses selling brisket, & the dessert was the mic drop key lime pie that was unexplainable for how decadent it was. All to say don't hesitate don't think it go to Willie's barbecue the staff & owners are amazing people & they serve you incredibly fast hats off to the team they got something serious going on… a true real threat to any smoke house in Quebec easily… we will be back more often than what we expect.
We were a group of 3 & we went to eat on a Friday night. We waited really long for our food. Our waiter only informed me the plate I ordered could not be made because they ran out of fried chicken. They were basically only able to make it grilled. I took a chance & it turned out to be even better than the crispy chicken, well done to the cook for properly seasoning! Our waiter brought us a round of complementary shots & when the bill came with one drink removed from all of our bills. Not sure who is in charge of customer service, rather the waiter or management- but well done! The fact that we didn't have to say anything & they went above & beyond to make it up to us deserves all the praise. It was our third time going & we will be back. The food is genuinely amazing from the higher priced plates to the cheaper ones.
Well when another popular BBQ joint screwed us on the reservation my wife & I had for our anniversary, we fell back on Willys. Serendipity! What an amazing meal. The cocktails we both had were delicious & well balanced (Italian Ice Tea & some Fruit Punch drink) the meats were all tasty, moist & tender on their own but get to the next level with the Willys sauce. The cloudy, cheesy mashed potatoes & fries were excellent The one opportunity for me was maybe the ribs could have been a bit more…fall off bone. Staff & service by Oliver were great. Think I just found our new favorite bbq spot, can't wait to try steaks & the steak sandwich Oliver recommended for next time. Merci gang !

Le menu le plus proche de mes restos favoris au Texas…
Ambiance solide, drinks qui frappent juste assez, & une place où tu te demandes pourquoi t'es pas venu plus tôt.
P.S. : Pour booster ta soirée, demande une table avec Olivier. Ce gars-là est un futur comédien… ou un futur danger public pour les soirées trop tranquilles. Impossible de s'ennuyer avec lui.
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. 😅
Was very impressed first time around, not this time. Hockey game night, Waiter kept disappearing! my friend got the wrong vodka 2x. My friends food came, i kept waiting & waiting! then my buddy had to ask another waiter where is my friends food hes been waiting. Then finally it came. At one point the manager & assistant manager served us. On top of it all they didn't even offer us a free entree or drink. Very sad. Probably will not return!
Excellent! Service was flawless, drinks were great & served without delay, food came out very quickly & was amazing. Two thumbs up on everything, will definitely go back
