| - My husband and I had dinner at RUBS American BBQ recently and I have to say, it was pretty good. The prices and portions remind me of America! In other words, reasonable prices and large portions.
I had the Pulled Chicken Tacos ($15) and my husband got the Smoked Salmon ($19).
My tacos came with 2 sides and I ordered fries and coleslaw. They accidentally gave me sweet potato fries instead of regular fries, but hey I didn't complain because I also like sweet potato fries (and they are usually an extra $3). Free upgrade, woo hoo! :) The tacos were stuffed with meat and cheese. There was so much meat in there; it was pretty awesome. They were tasty too. The pulled chicken was tender and smoky. The only thing I was slightly disappointed with was that the soft taco shells were made of flour instead of corn. They did hold up well though and it wasn't a soggy mess. I got 3 tacos with my order and they were huge. I gave my husband an entire taco and I was still full (at most places, if I gave away 1/3 of my meal, I'd be left pretty hungry). The coleslaw was vinaigrette based and not mayo based, which I liked. The sweet potato fries were good. They were not battered, which I appreciated.
My husband's dish automatically came with smoked vegetables and his choice of 1 side. He chose regular fries and received regular fries. I had some of his salmon and it was good, although it didn't have a strong smoked flavour. The vegetables he got were bell peppers, corn, asparagus and zucchini. I had a piece of bell pepper and it was good, although a bit too oily. I had some of his fries and they were good too. They are also not battered and were fried to golden perfection.
Our server was nice and he was attentive.
Decor is typical of mega-restaurants.
Overall, I thought the food was good, and we got a lot of food for what we paid.
I would come back, although I'd probably go to their Montreal location since I'm hardly ever in Laval.
