This charming spot specializes in hearty, mouthwatering barbecue dishes that showcase the rich, smoky flavors of expertly prepared meats, making it a standout destination for those in search of true pitmaster-quality fare.

The menu at Old Haunt BBQ is crafted with care, offering a satisfying range of options including fresh salads like the Smoked Chicken Caesar, a delightful twist on a classic, packed with tender smoked chicken that adds depth and warmth to the crisp romaine and creamy dressing. The straightforward Caesar and vibrant House Salad provide refreshing accompaniments for those looking to balance their meal.

For the meat lovers, the single ribs are an absolute revelation—each rib tender, juicy, and skillfully smoked to perfection with a bark that beautifully seals in the flavors.

The trio of homemade sauces — Ohb Original Maple BBQ, Honey BBQ, and Bourbon BBQ — are exemplary complements to the smoky meats, expertly balancing sweetness, tang, and a hint of warmth, encouraging experimentation with each plate. Whether you prefer a subtle maple glaze or the rich, slightly boozy notes of the bourbon sauce, these sauces bring a nuanced finish to every bite.

What really sets Old Haunt BBQ apart is not just the incredible food but the atmosphere they cultivate. Though primarily a takeout spot, it radiates a laid-back, welcoming vibe, enhanced by spirited touches like rock-and-metal tunes in the kitchen that make the experience feel personal and genuine.

Been looking for a BBQ spot in the South Shore since we moved and finally found one! Old Haunt BBQ is a little of the beaten path in terms of location but it's worth it! Meat wise we tried their Ribs (delicious, tender, fall off the bone, great bark!) Pulled Pork (juicy, flavorful!), and Sausage (smoked to perfection). My wife, kids, and myself loved the meats! Sides were good but seriously the meats are what we came here for and they did not disappoint. We'll be coming back on Sunday to give the brisket a try!

So... we asked how to proceed to make sure we had some brisket by messenger, they told us to call at 16h. We did, we placed our order. Get there, we enter the place, there is some nice metal music in the kitchhen, we feel like in some friends place. It took almost like huh... 5min to get my food , i think it was just to assemble , put in boxes and stuff... It was hot, it was tasty , it was perfect. One special sunday order + 2 side + one extra side , filled me and my wife. Really... im glad to found that place, will got back for sure when im lazy to cook. Oh and just saying.... 207 and robbie's are lame compare to them. Trust me that smoke ring was perfect.

Ordered the pork belly and mashed potatoes. And both of them were fantastic. I always like to give me some critic to the food I review, but here I have nothing to say, which is rare. It's that good. Non-flavour wise, If I could bring two minor suggestions: 1. Add french fries to the menu!!! 2. The large portion felt more like a medium. Still can't justify giving anything but 5 stats! Can't wait to return and try more of their options!

I’ve been trying all the BBQ spots I can find around Montreal, Laval, and the South Shore, and this weekend we decided to check out Old Haunt's BBQ. It’s primarily a takeout spot, though it looks like there’s outdoor seating in the summer based on the picnic tables. We wanted a good variety, so we ordered the Brisket Plate and the Ribs Plate, along with beans, mac and cheese, macaroni salad, and chili as sides. We also added a side order of pork belly burnt ends. Out of all the BBQ places I’ve tried so far, this was the only one where I genuinely enjoyed everything we ordered. I was also impressed with the portion sizes, it definitely felt like good value for the money. That said, the only downside was the lack of noticeable smoke flavour in the food, That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Still, I’d absolutely go back in the summer and give it another try.

I was searching for a new BBQ spot and Google Maps led me to Old Haunt BBQ. I visited on a Sunday to try their beef brisket. Despite having only a few reviews, the high ratings convinced me to give it a shot. The restaurant is a cozy home converted into a take-out BBQ joint. The brisket was incredible—perfectly smoked, moist, and tender. While the sides were average, the brisket truly stole the show.

The owner was kind enough to offer me a ride back to the bus stop after finding out I walked to their restaurant. That was super thoughtful and really set the tone for the whole experience. That same warmth comes through in the food. I had the burnt ends plate and half a rack of ribs. Portions were generous and affordable, the seasoning was addictive, and the sides were excellent — the carrots were tender without being mushy, and the mashed potatoes were deliciously rich. The meats were super tender and somehow tasted even better the next day when I reheated them.
