  • As I previously wrote, the hype is so strong for Blackstrap BBQ that my expectations were probably too high. Also, it doesn't help that my wife's recipes for dry ribs, pulled pork and slaw are out-of-this-world delicious... I apologize in advance for a review that will be mostly on the negative side of things... Here we go: Seeing how the restaurant is tiny and that they don't accept reservations, we decided to order out and take it back home... We were four and we each chose something different so that we could try them all... First disappointment: when we called, before rush hour at dinner time, we were told that they were out of brisket. We're talking Wednesday night at 5:00pm. KINDA odd. I understand that everything is fresh and that it's possible to run out of certain items once in a while...but we're talking mid-week, pre-peak time. They even mention on their website that they may run out of food...as if it was a good thing?! Again, I understand that everything is fresh and cooked for a long time, that they do not want to cook too much food and waste it but we're talking about a restaurant that is just opening and has to build its reputation. Mind you...seeing the amount of 5 stars on here...it seems like they already did. Anyhoot, this left a somewhat sour taste in my mouth (and I wasn't even the one to order brisket!) Speaking of sour...their slaw could definitely use a little LESS vinegar in it. Was not to my taste at all... As a main, I ordered the turkey sandwich with braised green. Aside from the fact that it was cold (we're a 5 minutes car ride away from the resto and it was 15 outside...), the sandwich was ok. I'd give it a 3 out of 5. As far as the greens go, they were also cold and watery. Not what you'd expect from a side of braised greens. Moved on to the ribs...didn't really understand what the fuss was all about. Same for the pulled-pork. The sweet taste that I like so much about pulled-pork was missing. On the plus side, the FRIED MACARONI AND CHEESE balls...WOW...amazing! If I had only ordered that...my review would also be 5 stars! Note that I did NOT try the burnt end poutine but one of the peeps in our party did and loved it. All in all, because I live in the hood, I'll eventually give Blackstrap another shot. Hope I'll be able to post a more positive review that time... Cheers!
