I have been ranting and raving about this place since our last yelp event and finally was in the neighbourhood so dropped in for a early dinner. We were greeted by a nice guy named pascale who led us right to the bar section and gave us a booth. As soon as I checked in I had the option to use my free molson Canadian beer when I bought a entree so why not ? We both got two to share, the wings & pickles. Both were good but I would pick Alabama white sauce next time instead of the blue cheese one that comes with it. For drinks we both love bourbon so why not a pitcher of the bourbon lemonade. It was good not to strong and pascale came by to fill us up when ever it looked half empty. Great service. For the main we shared the beef rib for 35$. Last time I had it it blew my Mind and this time it did the same thing. There's no place I know in Montreal where you can get such a hearty slab of meat for that price. It was very good and exactly what the doctor ordered. I ended up using my gift card I won for the bloody Cesar contest and our waiter was actually there and got to taste the 3 finalist cocktails which I didn't remember but it was nice that he remembered. I love this place they really have a great staff and I'm dying to take the classes next spring !

So my friend and I were so hungry, she decided to go to Rubs. I regret the minute i stepped inside of this pub, we took the "fleur d'onion at first, it wasn't that bad until I felt a stomach pain, it felt as if I have drank a whole bottle of oil. The chicken plater came it looked so delicious, unfortunately the "fried chicken" wasn't even crispy it was soft as if the chef dropped it in water and picked it up right away lol! The service was REALLY slow, at a point the bar tender came and ask if we did get the "fleur d'onion" yet And we were like " nope" She was surprised. The two stars are for the spicy fries!!! The seasonning was tasty, like a Tandori spice, at least something was good! Oh and by the way, when the waiter came back at the end and ask if everything was okay and if we wanted to take the rest as a take away, my friend said "no sorry we did not like it" she asked why we said the chicken was not good and was not crispy... HER response was " oh but why didnt you tell me, we would have put it in the frier " my friend was fuming, like IT IS CALLED FRIED chicken!!!! Anyway I am still not feeling well, too heavy!!!!!!

I typically don't eat a lot of barbecue foods due to a weird fear I have of bones but previously in the day the decision had been made to eat here. When you arrive the restaurant is quite big and there's lots of comfortable seating. The menu is huge and there are so many things you can order it's hard to find just one thing because of this my group of 4 decided to get the everything platter which came with brisket ribs pulled pork half a chicken and 3 different sides and sauces. This gave us a really good taste of the classic barbecue options and we had plenty left over to take home. Although most of the food was good the pulled pork and the brisket were the best things on the plate and if your not super hungry getting either one of those items on there own are a great choice! When it came to the sides I was hoping the Mac and cheese would be out of this world but to be honest it fell short on taste the sweet potatoes and grilled veggies are better options in my opinion.

Smokey, succulent American style BBQ in abundance that will never leave you still hungry but always coming back. From a long list of mouth-watering appetizers (omg! the jalapeno Poppers ) to a choice of many possible sides, to exquisite sauces - we were more than satisfied after our visit

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.

The place was nice and cozy... ordered the fried chicken and the beef brisket. Would have given them 5stars but I've had texas brisket before and the flavour is miles away from this one. But not bad at all. The chicken, fries, and salad was superb. Watch out for the portions though... it's huge.

Best ribs ever! I like ribs but it usualy not the first meal I will try in a restaurant because I've had bad experience, but just with the smell from the parking lot I knew what i was having. My girlfriend and I share a the fried onion(10$) and the full plate of ribs (30$) with the fries and mac'n cheese replacement (extra 3$). And that was more food than we could eat. The onion is probably best to share with at least 4 people but it was soooo good. Perfectly season and battered and delightfully crispy. The ribs were just melting off the bones and had that perfectly caramelized edge. Mac'n cheese was good. But next to such grandiose food I expected a little more, but perhaps my palate was already saturated. And the fries were real potato fries, but we left most of the them on the plate because you know priorities! And thanks to the yelp coupon I got a free molson beer which they gave me a glass from the tap instead of a bottle but it was fine by me.

wonderful customer service. Menu is very american and they serve in big portions. Menu is for a group of people. They have a nice dessert menu. A variety of selection of drinks. Great place to hangout

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.

Let me get this out of the way first: Any restaurant that upon being seated offers you "Bar Bacon" instead of bread is fucktits awesome. Which is what this place does. What is "Bar Bacon" you ask? Just incredibly spiced fried pieces of bacon for your munching pleasure. Yeah. What else is good? How about a ghost pepper Bloody Caesar? Or stupidly big, tasty & tender beef ribs? What about some great beans as a side? Yeah. Go here. But come hungry, because they serve you "holiday at grandma's house" sized plates.

Decent first experience! Solid 3.5 stars. Service was ridiculously good at the bar and my friends and I were catered to all night long. The food was good, however my plate was simply ok. We all had a pulled-something sandwich. I had pulled chicken, and my friends had a pulled primerib and pulled pork. Out of the three, mine was definitely the least flavourful. Despite my plate, I will definitely be returning to try some other stuff on the menu. I mean, who else does a Mac and cheese burger bun? Yup, I love gimmicks. This place is worth checking out.

A new love is born! This is an update to my first review of their other location http://www.yelp.ca/biz/le-fumoir-rubs-montr%C3%A9al#hrid:l01Z-P8OwPMOy08cM6bADg This restaurant opening is the most exciting thing that's happened in 2014 as of yet! I'm a HUGE fan of Rubs' smoky deliciousness that-stays-on-your-fingers-for-days and used to go to their Prince Arthur location on an almost weekly basis, since they closed down temporarily, I'm so glad I got a fix elsewhere. This Laval location is beautiful, much roomier than their first restaurant, lots of banquets and a big bar that could accommodate a good dozen people. Also, plenty of parking! I went on Feb 1, opening day, despite some computer glitches and slow orders, the food is as good, if not better than what I remember a year ago. We came back the following evening where Superbowl Sunday proved to be much quieter and found more things to like from their menu. Prices have gone up a little bit, you now have to pay 1.95$ extra for premium sides like mac and cheese, grilled veggies and sweet potatoes when they used to be included at no additional charge. They are so worth it though, you cannot come here and not get their smoked mac and cheese!! They finally have a drinks menu and have added a couple new food items. Initially we wanted to order the prime rib but it wasn't available unless you wanted it sliced in a sandwich. I would suggest calling in advance if you really want it because they only have it on weekends, first come first serve. My dining companion can be picky but he absolutely adored the beef ribs he "settled" for and has been fantasizing about them since. The salmon may be overlooked as it doesn't seem like a popular item to get at an american bbq place, but I assure you, the buttery, smoky tenderness of it WILL satisfy. Pretty much everything is worth a try, my mouth is watering as I type this... It's rare that I get to interact with people behind the scenes, I love that one of the owners (shout out to Mike!) is very hands on and present at the location. He always comes by to check up on customers and if there's any issue, he is willing and able to please. Whoever runs their Facebook page also does a great job of being responsive to fans. I'm loving this business, spreading the word and wishing them all the best to thrive!!
