| - When I heard Fumoir Rubs was opening near to my house, I practically fell off my chair. Who can blame me, right? A southern, Americana BBQ styled menu in Laval? I can count those who offer this in Laval with the fingers of my hand.
So off to the review, after 2 visits, had to make sure, see? *squints eyes*
First visit was during a weekday lunch with a friend, no line-up at noon, got a "banquet" in a quiet corner and ordered the pulled pork burger, with side fries and 'apple' coleslaw. The burger was HUGE and more importantly, AMAZING. I've had pulled pork countless times in my life but this was probably the best pulled pork burger I've eaten in awhile, if not ever. Did I mention it was HUGE? I could barely pick the beast up and take it out of its fat misery.
The side fries were a bit disappointing and the 'apple' coleslaw didn't really taste like either apple nor coleslaw. It wasn't terrible but not for me. Either way, after the burger, I didn't have any more space.
The price tag was reasonable and the service very efficient. I got my meal within 10 minutes and my drink in 2 minutes. All in all a perfect 5 star experience.
The next visit was a few mere days later with wife and friends on a Saturday night. As I bought my infant with me, our visit was in mid-afternoon, before the possible Saturday night rush. We were placed in the back with similar families and children, a smart and efficient way the staff took care of business to segregate guests accordingly. As a new parent, the last thing I want to do is annoy other patrons and with similar patrons all on the same side of the restoraunt, the other patrons without children can be left in peace.
This time I went with the St-Louis ribs, my friend went with the Beef ribs and we decided to share them. The food arrived after 25 minutes and I got lucky enough to have the same waiter who provided once again more than adequate service. He was obviously rushed but he took care of us and got tipped handsomely (I hope he felt that way) for his efforts.
As a rib man, I like many types of ribs and know my ribs and the St-Louis ribs looked impressive when they arrived but someway, somehow, I felt neutral about them. Maybe it was the sauce or the fatty cut about them, I didn't particularly care for it. The Beef ribs were slightly better but still not my cup of tea.
This time I went with the side sweet potato fries ($2 surcharge) and the standard coleslaw. The sweet potato fries were exceptional and loved them. The coleslaw wasn't for me.
We ordered dessert (cheesecake) and a cappuccino and they were both very good. I hope they try to expand the selection of desserts in the future by 1-2.
My wife was disappointed the mac-n-cheese burger wasn't available and went with the normal burger which she found decent but nothing to write home about.
All in all, a good experience.
Will be back.
