I am from the southeast United States, the cradle of barbeque civilization. It’s the Mesopotamia of barbeque. It varies by region, from Texas, to Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, N. and S. Carolina, even Alabama and Kentucky. Yes, similar preparations are found in other cultures, but BBQ Steakhouse is clearly attempting to emulate the American style. In that respect, it may be my fault for choosing the place, but figured to give it a try. I had the mixed grill(meat). It included chicken, lamb, beef, pork ribs, and half a lobster. Sides included gratin potatoes, a couple of sauces, and coleslaw. First, this is not bbq. By its definition, bbq is cooked in a pit or grill over wood or coals. There was no smoke flavor, the meat was cooked on a stovetop and in the oven. The ribs were sad. They weren’t cooked long enough or on low enough heat to pull from the bone; tough and with bbq sauce(will get to that later) thrown on as an after thought. The lamb was a leg sirloin steak, and a wee bit tough. Similarly, the beef was not tender, a little sad and bland. I didn’t even touch the chicken. The lobster was overdone. The BBQ sauce was odd. It was tomato based and sweet, but overly so. The flavor was kind of flat, lacking in the tang and smoke that a tomato based sauce should have. The coleslaw was thick and gummy, more mayo than anything. The highlight, such as it is, were the gratin potatoes. Texture wasn’t there, but they tasted ok. Service was decent to begin, but it took forever to get my check once the meal was over. Maybe there are other decent offerings on the menu, but if you’re looking for a semi-authentic bbq experience, this is NOT the place. The sins committed were so egregious, I feel compelled to cook a few slabs of ribs upon my return home, to atone for the wrongs done to that meat.

Eh… After a long long long day of walking around in the freezing cold all I wanted was a good dinner! We had disappointing and unappetizing food. I wouldn’t call it a bbq place. Order took Foreeeeeeeever. Everyone around us already got their food. We were kinda in a corner area and obviously forgotten about. The waitress was beyond rude… Once our food finally came. The chicken burger I got was inedible. Cold and tasteless. My mom ordered a pizza and the crust Ed super thing and almost liquid. As if the pizza was not baked at all! I wouldn’t come back, I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone… so many other great options out there.

I was excepting to have a crapy overcooked half-beef half-something else burger, but I was happily surprised! The burger was medium rare and juicy, 2 tasty sauces came along, chili dressing and tomato sauce, and good fries too, the kind of big fries that are crunchy but also tender. So yeah, not the best burger ever but definitely better than many I’ve have, and quite cheap too. A bit loud of a place though, but for lunch it’s not that big of a deal.

This is a pretty good place for lunch. Found a waitress to translate the lunch specials for me and I chose the fish with potatoes. They also have a small salad bar that has a mix of lettuce, cole slaw, tomatoes, and other normal salad toppings. There’s also cookies at the front for that little bit of dessert at the end. Definitely, a good pick for a quick lunch.

Great burgers(very tasty and juice), not so good nachos, and bad stuff, very slow and the thing is that they even try to avoid you while you try to reach them. I recommend it as long as you are not in hurry. :)

This place sucks. Firstly the waitress could not understand that when I wanted a Jack Daniels and Coke, that I might actually want a coke. Then the steak ordered came coated in a BBQ sauce, plus the medium was a medium to well. Then they had BBQ sauce salsa with a huge load of Mayo next to it, the coleslaw came with half a ton of Mayo also just in case you didn’t have enough already. I ordered a second JD and coke half way through the meal, but it never came. When we finished it took the waitress 10 minutes to clear the plates. The bill came fast but she forgot to come and get it again. We had to take the cash to the exit and were watched by two other waitresses who seemed to not care that we wanted to pay and leave. 5 minutes later our waitress finally woke up and took our cash. Go to McDonalds.

Have a go if you can’t find something else. Have tried them two times now and the food is not the best but ok for a quick bite. The staff is very nice though! So a plus there. :)

Bön on est rentré car on avait vu steak housse mais on s’attendait à plus de choix en plats de viande… C’est correct sans plus.
