Review summary

What guests say about Bobby McGee Mtl

Bobby McGee Mtl seems to be a much-appreciated spot for its unique country/western vibe, carefully designed decor, and festive atmosphere. Reviews often highlight friendly service, live music, and well-liked drinks, along with dishes like brisket, smoked meats, and shareable platters. However, a few customers mention uneven portions, music that can sometimes be too loud, and an experience that at times feels more like a bar than a restaurant. Overall, it’s a good choice for an evening with friends or a lively outing in an original setting.

Absolutely love this place! 🤠 The country atmosphere is amazing, with great vibes, delicious food, and awesome drinks. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. It’s the perfect spot to spend a Saturday night, enjoy some good food and drinks, and have a great time! Definitely recommend it! 🍻🎶

Visiting Montreal/W Hotel for a conference and came with about a dozen people around 1030PM to watch the game. While some other bars were full, this one had space and the bartenders (or I don't know if they were the owners) are extremely friendly, helpful, professional, and let us stay to finish the game. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Love going here. Been twice for someone who does NOT go out. And thus far both times it was great. The staff are super friendly, the food is great especially if you like bites of this and that. Perfect spot for after work cocktails and bites! Love the live music, and downstairs theres a pool table and darts. Such a chill spot we needed in montreal, and it’s in the old city to top it off. 10 on 10 would recommend! Thanks Bobby! See ya soon!

Super well done on the decor and build, it's an amazing place. Great rustic country vibe, place is newly built and clean. The bartender is absolutely beautiful. I was here twice and if I'm in town again I'll be back.

Popped in this evening with my wife. Waitress couldn't have been more helpful. We were quickly seated and served. Portions were plentiful. Restaurant was clean and relaxed. Music played in the background not to loud but loud enough. Liquid refreshments were replaced when needed. Would recommend to anyone going out on a date night, or a couple of friends.

Such a fun place to come for the western atmosphere, feels like you’re transported to a texas roadhouse. Delicious and filling food, premium cocktails, and cheap pints of Pabst for a night out!!

Bobby McGee is a total blast! 🤠🔥 Amazing southern BBQ, live music that gets the whole room singing, and cocktails that hit just right. Feels like a little piece of Nashville dropped right into Old Montreal. Grab your crew, put on your boots, and go! 🎉🍻

I rarely do reviews but I felt the need to do this one given I'm a big fan of Texas styles barbecue. The service was friendly, efficient and ambience the deco was beautiful. I had the chance to tried Aaron Franklin's BBQ or closer to home Blue Smoke and Hoo Doo Brown's which I consider smokehouses but Bobby Mcgee is not it. First of all the portion are very small for that kind of cuisine and we didn't even finish it that's how bad it was... we had the pitmaster plater which consists of ribs, pull pork sausage and brisket. Nothing on this plate was smokey. Everything was cold and the fat wasn't rendered. Even the sides were cold. I really doubt that they even used a smoker. I even asked the staff and they couldn't even answer if they used a smoker!!! At lease the beer was cold and we were in good company so I didn't make a scene but if you know what Texas BBQ is all about avoid this place. I really doubt this place will survive the winter. The food is that bad.
