A group of five of us went there today at 11:30am - the lineup was to the door but it took less than five minutes for us to order and get our food.
I had the small beef brisket, side slaw and a Pop Shoppe Root Beer and paid $9. The brisket was good and very moist, and since I prefer non toasted buns I was really happy with my meal. One of the cooks recommended the Jack Daniels BBQ sauce with the brisket which tasted good but I preferred the Hot Mama sauce (the middle of 3 levels of hotness) with my sandwich.
Like Auldy said, the Slaw is not mayo based but I still found it really good.
One of the lads with us had 8 ribs ($1 each) and he thought they were fantastic - better than most of the other places he's had ribs in the city but not as good as some place he's been in Montreal.
The 'goth' (blue highlights) girl working the till was stoked to hear that there was a thread on here about their place - her name tag says "Peaches" and she's a pretty friendly gal. One of the cooks who has the name tag 'Billy Bob' said that Rhett Warrener and Rene Borque are frequent customers there.
I'll go back next week to check out the ribs this time - BBQ is a heavy lunch but I think the return trip is worth the sleepy afternoon at my desk.
7/10
PS - the guy who had 8 ribs is a big rugby player and he said he had room for maybe 2 more ribs - hopefully that will help people choose how many they want to buy.
