Color me skeptical of Northern barbecue, but despite the advice I'd give to most Candadian restauteurs to avoid even trying to attempt the pinnacle of cuisine, barbecue, other than to overlay pulled pork on poutine Barque succeeds.
Kansas City born and bred I'm a ribs boy so in our sampler for two, we opted for BOTH beef and baby back pork ribs, in addition to some not quite Texas style brisket. The ribs were super delicious (5 out of 5 Canadian scale, 3.9 out of 5 on the KC scale).
It also came with copious sides, vegetables, and even the seasonally awesome Canadian touch of fiddleheads.
We did have to wait awhile at a nearby bar but the hostess recorded everything on an iPad and gave us a call on our cell phone in a very well managed process. We did end up sitting at the bar a bit surprisingly though, would've guessed the wait would've yielded a table. The atmosphere was super lively.
