I really enjoyed my meal here. The wings were very good--crispy, flavorful, and definitely something I'd order again. The dry rub was a little sweeter than I expected and had a noticeable cinnamon flavor. I actually like cinnamon, but I thought it was just a bit too prominent for my taste. Even so, I still enjoyed the wings. The ribs were excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. They were tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. Service was good overall. I would have preferred colder water (I had to ask for ice a couple of times), but it wasn't a big issue. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a classic barbecue joint vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The food was very good, especially the ribs. If the rub were just a touch less sweet, this would easily be a 5-star meal for me. read more

Definitely get a reservation if you plan on coming during the weekend since there's not a lot of seating. Our service was unfortunately not the best. The staff will only speak to you in French and frankly don't care. The food was okay. Meats weren't super fresh but tasted alright. With the Pitboss you get 1/4 chicken, 8 ribs, Pulled pork and sides. Easily enough food for 3-4 people. Parking can also be a bit tough to find a spot! read more

Stopped in for a meal with the family during our visit last week and shared their platter and a jackfruit pulled pork sandwich. Their in house brew was tasty and mellow and went supremely well with their food. The restaurant has a small dining room with 7-8 tables for 4 and there were seating at the bar. Overall, the dining experience was good but wouldn't say it was a real stand out. read more

What a great meal , as a certified judge for KCBS Kansas City bar be cue society and a competitive barbecue I was more than impressed With 15 people in my dining group, the restaurant was super accommodating. I called him that morning. Service was over the top now for the food Fabulous were the burnt ends Pulled pork, amazing Presentations were spectacular as you see by the chicken and ribs in the picture below I want to personally thank both the staff and the crew for an amazing job read more

In 2010 two brothers decided to open Le Boucan Smokehouse on Notre-Dame W. Street, in an old antique shop, in Montreal district called Griffintown. Le Boucan is known for its ribs, pulled pork and chicken wings as well as it's beautiful bourbons. On my last visit on Friday night I did notice a slight decrease in the food quality, quantity and ambiance. The reason I always come back here is because of the wings, they're smoked and sweet and the Alabama sauce is on point. I don't have any complaints about the wings I enjoyed every bite. However the salmon was a small "7 oz and tasteless piece of fish,the sides were even worse.. frozen veggies. The ribs were dry and came with no sauce so had to ask for some, the sides again weren't very good the coleslaw needed salt and salt and salt. My salad was great fresh greens and I swapped out the dressing for the Alabama sauce and it was great. The most disappointing part was the cake at the end last time it took them 30 minutes to make it and it was amazing this time half that time and you could tell it wasn't fully cooked. So disappointing. I Over heard the waitress telling clients that it's late and that they usually don't serve ppl so late almost hinting them to get out, pretty dumb as there's so many dumping places on notre dame you don't want to lose clients. I've noticed it's not as busy as it used to be seeing that there's so many new hip and chic spots. So let's break it down Food :3.5 Ambiance:3 Price:3 They need to step their game up as there's loads of new spots opening daily, I get it that they are one of the only smoked house but we have rube and black strap as well. read more

Overpriced garbage. Bought two brisket sandwiches, came with fries and coleslaw(slop) the sandwiches were terrible, overcooked meat on a bun that wasn't toasted but instead soggy. Said there were grilled vegetables on it but all it had were pickles and onions, also had gross processed cheese. Absolutely do not recommend. When asked for ketchup, they brought me the tiniest amount. read more

They have a terrasse/patio in the back! Outdoor seating! I never realized this as from the front you wouldn't think this. Not to sound sexist but this is a great place for men who love ribs (or women, probably much more rare though). Personally, it was a bit on the heavy side. I went with a chicken sandwich and it was very creamy and that made it too heavy so I couldn't finish even half of it. BUT, my husband was IN LOVE with his food, especially the ribs, so it gets 5 stars. They need to be a bit more generous with the napkins considering how messy this food can get! Service was fast and very friendly. Beer on tap was really good! Pro tip: Go here for dinner like an old person like at 5pm (late lunch or early dinner call it what you want!) This will guarantee it won't be crowded and you can be seated without reservation. But, I think reservations are still recommended. read more

Myself and 3 other people ate here over the weekend. I made a reservation for 6pm, and we were told when we sat down that they need the table at 8pm, so we felt like we might be rushed. We chose this place because we had a vegan in our group, and the waitress seemed very knowledgeable on which foods were vegan, so that was good, but apparently the vegan selections of food were not great. Lacked flavour and our dinnerware seemed generally unimpressed. The Mac and cheese and tomato soup were a hit. Myself and another shared the pitboss and added brisket. Everything was just ok. Nothing super spectacular, but all adequately tasty. The brownie for dessert was very good, but seemed pricey at $9. All in all, not a bad place, but not one I'll be rushing back to any time soon. There are better smokehouses in Montreal. read more

Their smoked Chicken wings are delicious, I wish I ordered more! I did order the smoked baby back ribs, it was tasty but was a bit on the dry side and not very tender. I will definitely be back for wings! read more

The food is always delicious here, the service a bit to be desired. We walked into a pretty empty restaurant on a Wednesday at 6:30. The bartender greeted us and asked if we had a reservation. When we said no and inquired if we needed one she shrugged, sighed and then pointed us to a table. No other tables came in while we were there, roughly 45 minutes. I asked if they still had red stripe (beer) on the menu and she informed me she didn't but tried to guide me to other red beers that I would like. When I asked if she had any pale lagers she looked at me funny and continues to offer me red beers, almost confused as to why I'd ask for a pale beer. Red stripe is a pale lager and not a red but oh well. #beersnob The waitress that brought our food was very pleasant and smiley. We ordered a pulled pork poutine and Mac and cheese; Both REALLY good, however the poutine doesn't come with a lot of fries or cheese but still really good. For a dollar more you can get their home made habanero sauce and it's DELICIOUSLY SPICY and compliments the Mac and cheese nicely. Good food, probably caught the bartender on a bad day which sucks but happens, would go again tho. read more

Pulled pork poutine=happy night also pit boss=bussin

I was going to a restaurant up the road that was closed, to my surprise almost every restaurant in the area was closed (it was 4pm) which lead me happily to this quiet gem of a restaurant. I walk in and head to the patio greeted by very sweet girls who provided me service immediately. I ordered the zombie which was a rum forward passionfruit drink (strong lol) then also had a great mojito. For my food I ordered the ribs with fries and green salad and the burnt ends. Imo the burnt ends could have been more like crispy so the fat was easier to clew however they had good flavor. Now the ribs were the star of the show lol as a southerner I couldn't believe how good these ribs were. Perfectly Smokey, spicy and sweet and not OVERLY saucy. They came with some great fries clearly fresh / hand cut and I added some white bbq sauce on the side. I really appreciate this place for being open and providing me a great lunch. read more

I live less than five minutes from Le Boucan. I ordered an Alabama Chicken sandwich and the pulled pork poutine, and was told it would take about 20 minutes. when the time was almost up, the estimate was changed to an hour. It arrived cold, soggy, and had obviously been waiting for ages; I suspect my order was rolled in with another to save them time. The poutine was alright (after 10 minutes in the oven) but extremely sweet and heavily cinnamony. The chicken sandwich was not good at all. I'm disappointed that a nearby BBQ place is disappointing to this extent, since I do love BBQ. But I won't be going back here. read more

Had a very good brunch in the backyard here. The cocktails, thick cut crispy bacon, and nice (albeit slow) service made for a great experience. I can't emphasize enough how great the bacon was. It was good. Cool "mule" cocktails too with a mini ginger beer bottle in each glass. read more

We ordered the mac n cheese for our kid, we mentioned to the server to hold the bacon which they did. But the issue was that inside the tiny amount of mac n cheese for $12 there was at LEAST two large tablespoons of green onions chopped up super small and inside instead of bacon which the server failed to mention to us. . . My child would eat it if there was a normal amount but even we could not even taste the cheese just overwhelming green onion, and the server was notified but did nothing to rectify. overall food was just okay, service was friendly. The meat on my sand which was very over cooked. The fries were really good- the only thing my kid would eat. Potato salad was good but i think egg inside would have made it spectacular... the corn side was really really bad. Strange flavour. The overall experience wasn't great, wouldn't go back. read more

I came to le Boucan for a birthday party. I was happy to see there was plenty of free parking in the area. My friends came here for their ribs. The restaurant is small- it was annoying because there wasn't enough coat hooks to put our coats away .The one that is available- I had to stand on the chairs of the booth to reach it (kind of ridiculous). For food I ordered the beef brisket sandwich with a side of their staple cheesy corn and potato salad. The beef was very well cooked and tender. Great cuts. As an overall meal- I wasn't crazy about it- maybe because I expected more from a smokehouse. The sides were also average. For dessert, the buttermilk pie with ice cream was pleasantly nice- not too sweet. As a smokehouse- I would grade this as average until this I will be on the search for Montreal's finest. read more

This place is a small and cozy restaurant at first sight, but there is apparently seating out in the back too. Our server was friendly, spoke English, and looked like Ryan Gosling. We had a little bit of everything: Wings, ribs, chicken, pulled pork, fries, potato salad, coleslaw, and mac n cheese. I have been going to quite a few rib festivals this year and i have to say that the ribs here were one of the best, if not the best, I've had all summer. Everything was delicious. I will definitely come back and recommend the place to anybody in Montreal. read more

The atmosphere was cool, there was a small terasse out back (we called to reserve an outside table) and all the staff was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try their Mac and cheese :) Update: I tried the Mac and cheese and it was good but there were too many onions for my liking. read more

I left disappointed. And disappointed that I was disappointed if that makes any sense. I wanted to love this place. I fist saw it on the TV show The Opener where (somewhat) celebrity Chef David Adjey help these 3 sweet guys open their first restaurant. I can see that most of what they put on the menu remains today. So I ordered the burger, and it was just boring. Like a burger from Chenoys would be. One of my friends had it as well and we felt exactly the same. There was some mystery meat on top of the patty, maybe bacon, but it was raw. My 3 other friends had the chicken and all thought it was real dry. Everything else about this joint was cool, the decor, waitresses, terrace, etc... I will give it another try when someone suggests it. This friendly lady started up a conversation with me as I waited for my table. She recommended the pulled pork and the poutine. Next time I'll listen to her. Give it a try! read more

Second visit to Le Boucan but never took the time to comment so here it goes: Small family owned place with amazing southern style food. I was there with 4 of my buddies & we shared a few dishes; Pit Boss (combo of chicken, ribs, pulled pork) & some nachos & wings. The food was great but not as awesome as the service; from the moment we were greeted upon our arrival til we left. The ladies that were in charge (3 of them) of taking care of us were so amicable & professional. They are all part of the ownership & their passion & dedication to making this an enjoyable evening was second to none. Prices are reasonable as well, so needless to say that our experience was nothing short of perfect. Keep up the great work, I will definitely be back to try out their outdoor terrace. Merci Mesdames ! read more

This place is fine but really does not compare to BBQ in the US. The staff is super friendly, and the ambience is alright. I enjoyed the food, but didn't love it. I think it lacked some flavor or dipping sauces or something... I really enjoyed my cocktail which I recalled being a warm apple cider beverage. read more

Been here a few times, food is always good, fresh and somewhat consistent. The service is polite and friendly. They have a great selection of drinks, southern style food & drinks actually. I had a drink called the southern wheeler i think, the tipsyness made me forget its name. you couldn't taste much of the alcohol in it but it had quite a kick ! The Mac & cheese entree ( 8$ ) was great, I should have stopped there but I was greedy and wanted more so I got a half rack of ribs that I couldn't finish but they were good, a bit dryer than last time i tried them. The fries were good but I think they forgot the dressing on the coleslaw this time. Ill be ordering the wings again for sure, I think they were smoked, really good flavor and crispiness to them, comes with dipping sauce of your choice, Boucan bbq, honey mustard and bbq and white sauce. The place is always crowded on the weekends and Friday nights. They do take reservations so reserve in advance because its tiny. It's tiny but cozy and rustic which is so my style. ( not fancy ) At some point they dimmed the lights and it made the atmosphere somewhat romantic and with some southern comfort and bourbon in my drink, I felt really comfy. To finish off, The buttermilk pie served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is not describable so you are going to have to try it because its worth it. read more

TLDR: Juicy delicious food and dynamic servers. Small restaurant that serves big flavour. I was torn on what to order, but in the end I went with the 5 napkin burger with the cheesy corn and coleslaw. The two juicy 4 oz patties (8oz total) was topped with pickles, 12-hour smoked bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and bbq sauce. It was huge and I definitely required more than 5 napkins to keep my hands clean. The flavours were on point, and I enjoyed every bite of it. I ordered the cheesy corn because I wanted to know what it was, and while it was tasty I regretted not choosing the fries. The slaw was a nice and refreshing contrast to the rest of the hearty and heavy meal. The servers were a delight, and we had a lovely conversation about spicy peppers with them. I would definitely go back to Le Boucan the next time I'm craving some BBQ. read more

Tldr: poor service, mediocre food After seeing the previous reviews, I figure that what I'm about to say isn't necessarily indicative of the restaurant. I'd like to make sure that everyone understands even businesses and those in the creative profession have off days. That being said, here was my experience at Le Boucan: After being seated with only two other tables occupied, it took about 15 minutes for us to get our menus. The restaurant wasn't crowded, but there was only one server and she was also tending bar. We ordered the pulled pork poutine and the half chicken. The food prep took only about 15 minutes, but I saw the window where the food was sitting from.my table, and it ended up sitting in the window, drying under the heat lamps for another 15 minutes. When we finally got the food, the white meat of the chicken was dry and inedible without the accompanying bbq sauce. The dark meat was moist, but flavorless. The side of potato salad was flavorful and unfortunately was the best thing we had there. The side of coleslaw was surprisingly flavorless. I didn't know it was possible to make coleslaw so flavorless. It was almost as if it wasn't dressed in anything but water. That coleslaw will now make me question every coleslaw I see on a menu. The poutine was good, but nothing special. I don't leave reviews unless I'm really disappointed or really thrilled about a restaurant, and unfortunately, Le Boucan is in the former. read more

It was my first time in Montreal, and my lab mate and I were looking for the perfect place to get some cocktails, some poutine, and basically stuff our faces. We ended up splitting a pitcher of red sangria which was just the right amount for 2 people to get a good buzz while eating absurd amounts of meat. It also was the perfect amount of fruit to wine without having that harsh acidic taste some red sangria has. She got the full order of pulled pork poutine, and I helped finish it because it was ENORMOUS. You can tell the pork is smoked, it tastes amazing even if it wasn't smothered in the perfect amount of house bbq sauce, gravy and cheese curds. I got 16 of the smoked wings with the mustard (basically like a classic honey mustard style bbq from South Carolina) and the house bbq. I couldn't pick a favorite, but my hands were a clear indication of how much I enjoyed the wings when I was done. I needed all the wet wipes the table had to offer. Also, the wings were smoked to perfection - still juicy and with perfectly done skins. I liked that the sauce was on the side so you could taste how good they were solo. Also the staff was super friendly! Definitely recommend. read more

Pulled pork poutine. Does anything else need to be said? Okay, I get it, some details might help. I realize there are punk, wannabe poutines out there, that don't use curds, but believe me, le boucan has the right stuff, as much meat as fries, and as many squeaky curds as gravy. It's massive and will stop you in your tracks with deliciousness. We also attacked the ribs, burger, slaw, fries and a bacon brownie, all which are top bbq house choices in my opinion. The burger comes with two cheese blanketed patties, it is not a girly burger by any means. But it was delectable, particularly with the extra mayo on it. Love the bourbon selection here too. Make reservations, it's a teeny place (which as I have mentioned before means they must be masters of their food domain) and you won't want to stand waiting for a table watching the lucky ones devour saucy ribs. It just wouldn't be fair. read more

Only a 3, 5 for the food, 1 for the service. Only 3 other tables there when I got there. Server took my order promptly, food came out in a normal time, food was hot, good too. then she never returned, no water refilled, nothing. After I finished, manager came to take my plate, I requested more water and the check. He brought water, 15 minutes later she asks if I wanted dessert? I said no, just the check. (2nd time). I hate not tipping, but there was no "service" to tip on. With many dining spots on Notre dame, you have to stay attentive. I can spend my money elsewhere next time. read more

As a counterpoint to my vegan adventure the other day, I met up with some friends from out of town here to devour on some southern style cuisine comprising mostly of meat. Ordered two pit boss platters and some pulled pork poutine and the Cajun shrimps as an appetizer. The Cajun shrimps while good, didn't really strike me in a "try this again" kinda way. Maybe this place needs to serve up some crawfish instead. The pulled pork poutine was as tasty as it was unhealthy. Soft pork with the now gooey yet still crunchy fries. Love it. The platter was excellent with the ribs being the highlight. Tender but not so soft that you don't need to work a bit at the bone, I could have eaten another rack! Their 'cue sauce was fantastic, not too sweet and went great with our meat. The chicken was good too but I found the breast meat a little too dry for my liking. To top it off, I had the bacon brownie. Ridiculous! As in, "How did I not have this before!?" Come here with a group or your favourite eating buddy. read more

This review is strictly on the food, because I ordered take-out. Ordered the pit boss platter, which is comprised of a half a rack of ribs, half a chicken, pulled pork, fries, tater salad and coleslaw for about 42 dollars. It is a lot of food for the price. The ribs were extremely good. Best BBQ i have found north of the border in Montreal. Very juicy and tender, falls right off the bone. Next time I will just order a full rack for myself. The chicken was also very good. Moist and not dry at all. The skin had a nice flavor to it as well. The pulled pork was also very good, and when you add the bbq sauce to it, it elevates the flavor. Standard fries and coleslaw, but the potato salad was tasty. In summary, best choice if you want any semblance of what southern BBQ tastes like in Montreal. read more

I really wasn't sure what to give Le Boucan for a rating after my experience here. Read on and you'll see why. It was a Friday night when we came here and though it was empty when we showed up at six it was packed when we left. The restaurant is small so a reservation would be a really good idea. Being Friday I figured I would get a cocktail so I started with a mint Julep. The cocktails seem expensive here but they are very strong so I feel the price was justified. I followed it up with a Moscow Mule which was a little to heavy on the lime for me. I prefer the ginger to stand out more in this particular cocktail. There is also a decent selection of bourbons for you to try out and they usually have one on special. We were four and we split the Pit Boss which gives you a chance to try a bit of everything. It included chicken, ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw, potato salad and fries. For me the winner was the pulled pork which was very tender and juicy. I also thought that the chicken was well seasoned and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The ribs though were a little on the dry side. I would suggest that if you're going to get this dish only do it if you're two or three people tops and our waitress did say it was meant for that number of people. I wasn't very hungry so it was a decent amount of food but if I had been hungrier it probably wouldn't have been. Now had we stopped after the Pit Boss I would have given Le Boucan four stars easily. I had enjoyed the food up until then and in all I was having an enjoyable experience. However, we thought we would split a plate of nachos which turned out to be a total ripoff. For $16 (which is already expensive for nachos) the portion was pathetically tiny. Normally I am not one to complain in restaurants unless the food is undercooked, cold or something is seriously wrong with the flavour but this was ridiculous. We brought this to the attention of our waitress and she took it back to the kitchen to try and see if she could get more chips or something added to it. At this point the manager came over and tried to explain why the nachos had to be so expensive. She offered to discount the price %50 for us which we agreed to but when she went to see if the nachos were still in the kitchen they had been tossed. Needless to say we were all a little miffed by the time everything was said and done. I'm not really sure what to make of my experience here. Like I said if we had just stopped after our main meal I would have no trouble recommending this place. Also if the nachos hadn't been tossed I would have been a little more forgiving and probably given the restaurant three stars. read more

Came here yesterday for lunch with another meat-loving buddy of mine. We went straight for sharing the Smoked Pork Meatballs and the Pit Boss Platter, ribs, chicken, pulled pork, fries, coleslaw and potato salad. I ordered a Mint Julep and buddy ordered a Mojito. First off, we came in for a very late afternoon lunch so we basically almost had the entire place to ourselves, no issues with service or delays or anything. The waitress was very friendly. Food and drinks-wise, drinks were fabulous and while I do enjoy BBQ, it's not something I can eat everyday, the sauce the amount of food involved is too rich and too heavy. Having said that, the ribs here are great, can't go wrong with them, ditto the pulled pork. This is just me but I prefer my chicken with really crispy skin, which it isn't here. I also found that there was something sweet on the french fries, not sure if their fries spice mix includes sugar, but I really don't think it's needed. There has been a plethora of smoke houses and American-style BBQ joints popping up all over Montreal and having a bit of a sweet tooth, I always scan the dessert offerings. I saw the Bacon Brownie but I think that's a little too much meat-overkill. I was stuffed so didn't get to try anything out, but I still have yet to find a Montreal place that offers Hummingbird Cake and a proper Southern Chocolate Mud Pie. Oh well. The search continues. read more

I got the "pit boss" with beers Pros: Nice large wood plate with a sample of everything that I wanted all to taste so it was perfect choice. The ribs were excellent, the chicken was very tender and juicy, not so salty. The pork was good, potato salad awesome ad ok coleslaw. Cons: Sat at the end of the bar, the barmaid was putting all the drinks going out to tables in front of me, I got to hear the employees and manager bitch about customers that came late, got to see the siting table chart on the counter in front of me, got to hear the employees giving a hard time to the new employee, yet, really not the best place to sit in the house. I would have to go again and sat far from the end of the bar or at a table to have a real dinner experience. Lack of customer service and care. read more

Le Boucan - BBQ chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The food is good, that's for sure, but I look for a full experience - food, atmosphere and service, and the other two were lacking. We liked that there was fun 80s music playing, but we were awkwardly squeezed into a middle table where we were constantly in the waiter's way and a bit too close to tables next to us. The service is almost too fast to enjoy the experience of eating out - the food came only 5-10 minutes after ordering. (When I called to make a reservation, they told me we would have 2 hours - I think we were there about 45-minutes). Lastly, the waiter looked like me like I was an alien whenever I asked a question/request, such as: "Can I please have a knife?" Apparently, that's an odd request, even when you have a huge chicken breast to eat. It was just odd service. In the end, there are places I can go that have good food, atmosphere and service, so I wouldn't choose Le Boucan again. read more

A friend brought us here for dinner and we loved it! My boyfriend spent a lot of time as a kid in North Carolina and loves BBQ -- even he was impressed. The portions are generous, the waitstaff friendly and gracious, and the atmosphere welcoming. While everything was delicious (including the mac and cheese, ribs, the must-order pulled pork poutine), a special shout out goes to the potato salad which really hit the spot. I don't know what they put in it, but it reminds me of everything good and holy in the world. My only disappointment was that I was too full for dessert. read more
