| - Once again my Yelp family came through. Each city I travel I always like to try their soul food to see how it varies from at home and luckily, DTC was a winner. I came on a Saturday afternoon and seen there was a line out the door. Not knowing this was for to-go orders only, I waited and listened to what other people were ordering (Lol). There is another door to the L for dine-in customers. Most people placing to-go orders were doing what's called a Picnic package where you order the foos, all the items are placed in to-go containers to include silverware, etc. and placed in a picnic basket. You can then walk across the street to find an open picnic table and enjoy your meal and drink outside at the park. I LOVED this idea. And actually more people were doing this than dining inside.
On the other side is the small-spaced dining area of picnic type tables that seats about 30-35 people. The waitress brought a food and cocktail menu. To drink I tried the Briar Patch which consisted of bourbon, chile and some other ingredients. It had a spicy kick to it but surprisingly was pretty good. The food choices is one meat and 3 sides. My mind was set on the brisket but the waitress recommended the fried chicken so I went with that instead. The sides I chose were braised greens and maac n cheese. FYI, mac n cheese counts as 2 sides. The food was brought out about 10 minutes later and looked delicious.
They have on each table 6 different sauces which consisted of a tomato-based, South Carolina mustard (tangy), Habanero, Jalapeno, Memphis BBQ and a yellow-ish one that was the hottest of them all. I tried all 6 and my favs were the SC mustard mixed with the jalapeno. So good. The food was one of the best meals I'd had in Montreal. I'm glad I went with the fried chicken because it was juicy, flavorful and the outer part was very crisp. I literally ate down to the bone! The greens and mac were good as well but the chicken stole the show. The dessert options were blueberry pie and s chocolate walnut rum something. Both sounded good but I was too stuffed to eat another bite of anything. This is one place I will definitely come back to when I visit again. The staff were all nice and very attentive and the food again was really good! Kudos
