Willie's Barbeque

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!

So so happy with our experience! Came here before a concert & couldn't be more satisfied.

Didn't start with appetizers, went in right for the main meals.

Everything was amazing! My friends loved their smash burgers & me & my other friend loved our ribs, only thing is that I wish they were made saucier, but love that it came with bbq sauce so I could just add it myself. Our sides of Mac n cheese were amazing as well!!

Star of the show was the triple chocolate cake! Not usually huge cake fan, at first bite it was quite delicious, but then paired up the chocolate sauce, it was to die for. Could not have been happier.

Service was pretty good, no complaints!
Super fun atmosphere if there's a hockey game playing that night. Super lively & good vibes.

Would totally recommend!

We were invited to the soft opening at Willie's Barbecue & the food was absolutely amazing. This place is the perfect spot for a 5 à 7 or to catch a Canadiens game. The platter for two was outstanding. It was great portions & delicious BBQ. Special thanks to our waiter Olivier for the attentive & friendly service. Highly recommend!!!🔥🍖🏒
