| - I just noticed I reviewed the food truck instead of the restaurant.
For the price, it's good value bbq: not the best in Montreal, but it seems like the pitmasters behind the grills have the right basics. I had baked beans, brisket poutine, and a brownie.
Baked Beans: sweet, tangy, very ketchupy... Mixed in were chunks of homemade smoked sausages that had a nice chew (good texture), but somewhat bland otherwise (I tried a piece of the same sausage from a friend's sausage poutine to make sure it wasn't the ketchup that ruined it).
Brisket poutine: excellent gravy and chewy cheese curds on crispy fries - my kind of poutine. As for the brisket, it was indeed a good addition to the poutine, but it wouldn't be able to hold its own without a good gravy (it was kind of dry and lacked smokiness).
Brownie: sooo sweet, it's downright not edible. And the texture is off, it's too mushy.
BBQ sauces available on the tables:
- Original: very very sweet. While I know that it may win BBQ contests in eastern canada, that amount of sugar is not something the average customer can tolerate.
- Spicy: too garlicky, it ruins the spiciness.
- Coffee: no.
- Mustard: the best sauce at Le Smoking BBQ. Good balance of sweet, mustard spicy, and salty... Too bad it's a mustard sauce rather than a more standard BBQ sauce xD
Reasonable pricing overall, for the quality of food. I'm glad the BBQ scene in Montreal is picking up momentum despite the vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free fad.
