DONT BE FOOLED BY “MONTREALS BEST BBQ” If this is Montreal's best BBQ, this city is in a sad state. So, I never leave reviews where I am from because, whatever, but when I travel I want the full experience of the location I visit! This was an incredible let down. Not mad, just disappointed. Waitress was so kind but not very attentive to us. We showed up for early dinner and we were greeted with lukewarm (not hot) food. Things seemed to have sat under the bridge warmer too long. Cajun Shrimp was $18 for 2 shrimp ONLY. That was ridiculous to us. The Mac n’ Cheese was undercooked and bland as well as colder than luke warm. The only good thing about our meal was the fried pickles & the ribs (ribs were overcooked and bland for “good barbecue” even) but we came out enjoying those two items the most. This place needs to upgrade their quality of food and change their pricing because they are taking your money in return for a disappointing meal and overall experience.

Beef ribs just bones & overcooked like beef jerky. Brisket good but dry. Wife had bbq chicken and vomited at home. Fries were old and overcooked. Discovered Jack Flats - soooo much better.

The brisket was crazy dry, fried chicken was 90% breading. However, the ribs were amazing.

The meat is great, really amazing! I love the juicy, fall off the bone ribs, the delicious pulled pork and the amazing fried chicken and brisket...and the potato salad was soo good... The French fries had a seemed undercooked, they had that sort of "frozen taste/texture". But the service was really bad. I only saw our waitress twice, once to order the food and once to bring us the bill. I unfortunately had to get my own drinks at the bar as well as extra napkins. I regret tipping her because she really didn't provide any service. I hope the tip was split between the staff...

If you’re not going there for the Dixie Normous, you might as well go to any other steakhouse / pub. Absolutely loved sharing a large platter with the guys. Food was incredible and overall a nice atmosphere.

On a cold winter night, after a full weekend of tournament volleyball, my daughter and I were gearing up for the long drive back to Toronto. Before tackling a 5+ hour stretch on the 401, I knew we needed a proper Montréal meal to send us off the right way—especially fresh off a GOLD medal win, we were in full celebration mode. Diablos BBQ popped up on the map, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The menu is straightforward, and the food quality is absolutely top-tier. As someone who’s been cooking over charcoal for years and has hosted plenty of BBQ gatherings, I can confidently say this is the real deal—authentic BBQ lives here. From flavor to presentation, everything was on point. The beef ribs and fried chicken were next level, and the brisket left me wishing I’d ordered more. Portions were generous, prices were more than reasonable, and the service was fantastic. The owner was especially welcoming—you can immediately feel the passion and pride he has in his craft and his restaurant. We left full, happy, and ready for the drive home. That meal made the night—and the long ride back to Toronto—even better.
