I had such a fun time at Diablos! I’ll always recommend sitting at the bar at any restaurant to get to know the vibe and recommendations.We tried their Fried Chicken, Pulled Pork Poutine with Cajun Fries, and Frickles.Fried Chicken: Wow! I have never picked a bone so clean as having it at Diablos. The fried skin was absolutely tantalizing and filled with flavour - no dipping required. The chicken meat itself was moist and juicy, and every bite left me wanting more. It’s a homemade recipe from the chef so you can’t go wrong with that technique and seasoning! The sides were also delicious! Coleslaw, fries, brussel sprouts and the best gravy I’ve ever had.Pulled Pork Poutine with Cajun Fries - more fries and gravy!! I really enjoyed the cajun seasoning for the fries. It wasn’t too spicy, however it left a nice smouldering burn in the mouth which paired very nicely with the juicy pulled pork on top. The pork had a nice blend of perfectly cooked moist textures, with barbecue sauce.Frickles - I can’t not get fried pickles if they’re on a menu! They use the same seasoning as they do with the deep fried chicken, so it was extra enjoyment right there. This time, I did dip the pickles. It was awesome!Drinks - name the booze you like and trust the bartender :)
The first time we got take out, everything was good, the chicken and ribs were tasty although a bit chewy, decent portion of fries and coleslaw.The second time however, got horrible greeting by the man up front, the fried chicken pieces were tiny and dry, and when I say dry, it was hard to swallow. The potato salad was the only 'good' item and as you can see, the coleslaw this time was barely a third of the cup.I doubt we'll be going back a third time !
diablos smokehouse is unique experience in the area.as every business after pandemic you just need to be a little patience due to short staff but it will be worth it for amazing and great quality food! completely worth it. plus in house beer and great cocktails. the owner and all the staff did their best to please everyone and we all just need to be patience with all their hard work specially in this difficult times but eventually the service will be amazing! this place has great potential!Is a full meat experience!
Very disappointed. Ordered fried chicken on uber eats and it was very very bad. No flavour, overcooked and dry. Coleslaw was horrible and the beans were not good to say the least.I gave two stars because the fries and gravy were at least edible.
Just received my order through Uber Eats. Ordered two smoked half chickens, 2 coleslaw, 2 potato salads. Received the two smoked half chickens, one tiny potato salad, one tiny coleslaw and a small amount of fries in the bottom of each container under the chicken. I did not select fries because they don't hold up well to delivery most times, they're cold and kind of like cardboard and soggy with chicken grease but the Cajun seasoning tastes good.Chicken is alright but the coleslaw tastes and looks like identical to a store bought brand I used to serve in a grocery deli, "the best potato salad" is very bland. Glad it was a two for one deal online, I guess.
The meat was delicious!! I tried the fried chicken and brisket combo with a side of Brussel sprouts (the green beans were sold out) and french fries.Docking 2 stars because of the overall experience: half our party was served quite some time before the other (we were 6 people), drinks were forgotten (and weren't that flavorful), we never got water after our first pitcher and the dessert we really wanted was also sold out (at 7pm on a Friday).I'll go back for the fried chicken when I'm in the area - maybe with a smaller party. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for some good BBQ downtown Montreal.
I had the beef rib and beef brisket with a side of brussel sprouts and baked beans with two pieces of fried chicken and every element of the meal was delicious, down to the blackstrap molasses BBQ sauce. The portions filled me up, the waiting staff were as friendly as they were beautiful and the owners were charismatic and funny, they've clearly poured themselves into this business and it shows.
My boyfriend and I have ordered from here twice. First time we each ordered sides of mash and beans, but got coleslaw instead of mash, which neither of us eat. The second time, I specifically requested no coleslaw, and this time we got coleslaw instead of the beans we ordered. Incredibly frustrating, and the food isn’t good enough to deal with it. Two back to back errors means to me that it’s a widespread issue of them just not caring about their customers.
I would recommend this restaurant to anybody who is in Montreal. Great ambiance, great food and great customer service. Everyone in the restaurant was pleasant, took time to talk to us and walk through the menu with us. Even the owner had a conversation with us and answered our questions. Such a great enviroment with great tasting food
The chef is excellent. I have not eaten such tender ribs and brisket. The smoky taste was just enough, nothing less and nothing overwhelming. Their portions are insane. Will recommend and will go back again and again.Thank you for the great food!
