Just finished a meal from ile perrot, i haven't been this dissappointed in a long time…..the chicken was undercooked and the pulled pork tasted like it was just boiled…no flavor…and don't even get me started on the ribs and wings…will definately contact the manager Monday!

Just finished a meal from Bofingers in ile perrot, omg, I haven't had a meal this bad in a long time. The chicken wasn't quite cooked, and the pork tasted as if it was just boiled. Don't even get me started on the ribs and wings!! We were hugely, hugely dissappointed!! Will contact the manager Monday, for sure.

First visit at BOFINGER not sure if we will be returning, food was great but not the LOUD music way to much! Imagine having to speak LOUDLY just to place your order then sit down and not hear your name, never mind talking to whomever you are with it was not possible.
I would have liked to treated my Mom but the music would kill her! Please lower the music. Not the best first impression.

i like the place… the location has seen many akitchens come and go.. glad to see something finaly took hold.. i think they pump the kitchen air directly on to sherbrook cause i ive often been hit with that chared pork n sweet bbq sauce smell while walking my doggs down the block… the ribbs, both pork and beef are great.. i do prefer the pig though… i would rather the portions a bit grander as i often feel i have not had my fill once im done,, n thats with my 3 side dishes.. id like to propose that they serve gravy with the chicken and ribbs… i have to buy it seperate and even then its just this little tiny cup that does not suffice.. . they should also get a salad bar with a little section for bbq/dipping sauces on the side so u can mix and match…. all in all, a pretty decent place id say..

Inconsistent, but when it's done right… I feel like I'm stealing! The prices are great, I can get a really cheap chicken meal here that beats out anything in my immediately memory. I've been to the NDG location, the DT location, and the West Island location, and I've had so-so meals at all of them. But sometimes, they surprise me. It's worth coming here for the Texas Toast, the chicken and… the cheap cheap pitchers (with wings!) they have during game season.

What's consistent? The ribs are not so great. The fries are not so great. They also hire weird people. This one girl at the West Island location forgot to charge me for my meal, and when I told her she didn't charge me she seemingly picked a random number for me to pay. So I got my chicken meal and beer for like 6 bucks. A little bit off.

Overated. Disappointing all 4 times I've been there. I gave it 3 more tries to redeem itself and still wish I passed on by.
Only good thing was the price range is great, but taste, was ok, expected more but u get what u pay for.

Mmmmm….bofinger on a sunny sunday afternoon on the bench just outside the restaurant with a bunch of friends….sooo good! We all ordered different things and got to taste each others plates…well the pulled porc sandwich was amazing…so tender and with lots of flavorful spices. The huge ribes were tasty and so were the pitchers of beer we had to share. Definitly a great spot to stop on any day. Very fairly priced, i think it was about 15$ a person with food and beer. Great deal.

All I gotta say is that I love Bofinger and I’m sad to read all those terrible reviews. What is wrong with people these days? I think I know my ribs. Montreal is fortunate to have a place like this.

This place makes cheater ribs. Meaning they start them off by boiling them and THEN they give them a little smoke. You can taste it in the meat. And they do four different style of sauces = none of them are done well. I was excited when this opened. Sadly, Montreal remains a city without great barbecue.

Unfortunately, this place sucks!
Its actually a real let down, cause in your head you think its gonna be one of those good dirty eats, when in fact the food serves no purpose (neither dirty food craving satiation nor nutritional benefit). After eating here you wanna take a boFINGER to your throat and give the meal back to its maker!
