dinette triple crown

since dinette triple crown is, true to its name, a small part of a room, it was a downright genius move on their part to offer the option of packing your meal into a picnic basket and directing you over to the park across the

talk about a hidden treasure! the service was very friendly, the food was fantastic and the price was exceptional value for money. i will be going back again and again! ps: the brownie is to die for!

real southern deal. anyone who has been through the south will appreciate the flavours, quality and authenticity of this food. the biscuits have that perfect balance between light and weighty, the pulled pork is juicy and sublime, the accompanying sauces are delicious, and the sautéed greens are cooked to perfection with both a sweet and spicy flavour. try the blackberry chilli soda with a shot of bourbon, dip your biscuit in the gravy, and pretend you are on a slow road through kentucky with plenty of time to spare. can't wait to go back to the dinette and try the rest of the menu. (and yeah, the fried chicken was pretty good, too!).

a cozy little find. in the years before i moved to montreal, i lived mostly in kansas and texas. one thing that drives me crazy about montreal is that i can never find any decent tex-mex or southern dives (no, 3 amigos doesn't count, nor does serving a melted block of cheese in a bowl and calling it "chile con queso").
this place exceeded expectations. i've had my fair share of louisiana and south-east fare when i was in texas, and this place encompasses both culinary traditions.
food: triple crown dinette gives you the tapas option of ordering a bunch of sides and chowing down. my favorite option is the "meat and three" option - choose a meat (smoked brisket, pulled pork, fried chicken), and choose 3 sides (this includes a vast array of mouthwatering options, including buttermilk biscuits, cornbread, hushpuppies, collard greens, black eyed peas, cole slaw, and the most succulent fried sweet potatoes you've ever tasted). they also have quite a compelling beverage list - i chose a bloody caesar and was not disappointed. my friend ordered the brownie for dessert, and according to her, it was decadent.
sauce (yes, it needs its own category): i think the best thing about this place is the plate of jars and bottles that line the small dining area. i think there are 7 different sauces that you can use for your food - chile vinegar hot sauces, some sort of delicious bbq sauce, and of course, the peach habañero salsa. the food is already delicious on its own, but this additional step to dressing the food really brings the dish to a whole new level.
atmosphere: with pickling vegetables in jars lining the wall cabinets of this cozy space, the restaurant is a casual yet warm and intimate setting. the kitchen is open to the dining area and you can smell the scents of foodstuffs wafting out while the chefs prepare your food. a word to the wise: this place is quite small, and the only tables are bar-style and lined along the walls. make a reservation or get there early to get some good seats. as an alternative, i believe they also do carry-out orders.
all in all, great place. i've been back a couple times with my friends (one who is from both georgia and alabama) and we are never disappointed. if you're a from the south and are feeling slightly jaded in this northern city that offers little in the sense of southern cuisine, give this place a visit.

it was the balance of vinegar and deep sweetness of the memphis sauce that led me to close my eyes and let out an ovation like when i finally passed level 29 on candy crush on facebook.

delish. i had been wanting to try out this little diner since this summer when i ran into some friends of mine, who had just finished eating a meal in a park. they had toted their picnic basket full of yummy goodies to the park, checkered table cloth, and mason jar drinks to boot. they said it was delicious.

finally 6 months later on a cold january afternoon, a friend and i headed to the dinette. we were charmed by it's adorable ambience - tight and cozy atmosphere, and open kitchen.

we had no idea what to order but the girl at the counter (probably one of the owners) gave us a good roundup of the menu.

we opted for the 'big nasty' and 3 side orders. the nasty is a deep fried chicken southern style - with home made bread and slathered in gravy. the sides were brussell sprouts with fried onions and bacon, 'hush puppies' and spicy black eyed peas.

i cannot say i remember hte last time i ate such a tasty meal in montreal! i loved the food, the casual ambience of eating at the counter, and to boot i discovered the 'dark and stormy' bermudian drink of ginger beer and rum. omg - i was in heaven.

i love this place, and wanted to take the staff home with me, so they can feed me every day.

pricing was beyond reasonble entire meal shared by two famished ladies 20 $ plus 2 dark and stormies - final total 36$, inexpensive, delicious and a real 'find' on a january evening.

winner! go - but don't tel too many people - cause i'll be waiting in line the next time i go!

ça goute la vraie bouffe canadienne! ce spot est définitivement un secret du quartier rosemont-petite italie qui a beaucoup profiter du bouche à oreille et des blogueurs... et avec raison! un peu à l'écart des autres restos du quartier il vaut le détour pour le sandwich pulled pork, le poulet frit et tous les à côtés! j'adore le style à l'intérieur, mais très peu de places. à essayer en après midi avant lheure de rush si vous voulez manger sur place sinon prenez pour emporter car vers 17h le week-end à se remplit en un claquement de doigt! j'ai moins aime le mac'n'cheese un peu trop crémeux et pas assez fromage mais le reste était très bon.

the menu options run the gamut of classic southern style food: brisket, fried chicken, pulled pork, biscuits, sweet potato, greens, etc… i went for a large wide swatch of their options for my lunch: pulled pork sandwich, one piece of fried chicken, a buttermilk biscuit, sweet potatoes and a lemonade. there wasn’t a single bad option on this plate. the sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked with a nice crisp exterior without the interior becoming complete mush

le macaroni au fromage, pour sa part, était bon, mais sans surprise.

overrated. well i went for the first time , not impressed. greasy fried chicken , buttermilk bisquit that was as heavy as a hockey puck. coleslaw with no taste wilted cabbage . not sure what the fuss is about. average food and way to expensive. foodguy

the summer isn’t over just yet. squeeze dinette triple crown into your agenda and only then can you without shame call it quits and not feel bad about staying inside. this little bite sized diner is located on the corner of st zotique and clarke in little italy.

...i definitely recommend the brisket and the fried chicken. the brisket was simply divine and the chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned.

for the past few weeks, i’ve been hearing great things about this southern-food place that just opened down the street. when i realized where dinette triple crown was located, i also realized i had been driving by it every morning without ever noticing it. that’s how small and unassuming it is. the food however, is anything but unassuming and judging from the line up every night, i am not the only one who seems to think so.

just crazy good!. just tried dinette triple crown for the first time and i was floored by how good that food was. had the pulled pork with buttermilk biscuit, greens and sweet potato. every bite was outstanding and i'll be back very soon. plan is to try every single thing these magicians make before summer ends!

excellent barbeque joint in little italy. i recently moved away from montreal, and i ate at this establishment twice before i moved. i'll definitely make sure to go every time i visit montreal.

the first time i went for lunch, and i ate fried chicken, corn bread, sweet potatoes, and greens... mmmm. really delicious, particularly the chicken and sweet potatoes (and i even forgot to use the barbeque sauce, etc. on my chicken). my friend and i even got to take it in a picnic basket to the park across the street. i'd recommend getting some pie, too. the crust was scrumptious - best pie crust i've ever eaten, for sure. homemade lemonade was also very good.

the second time, i had fried chicken, corn bread, and mashed potatoes. mashed potatoes were even better than the sweet potatoes, in my opinion. remembered to use the sauces this time, and they were nice. i had a chocolate milkshake to drink, and it was scrumptious.

portion sizes were good (i ate almost all of it both times), and the price was very reasonable. staff is super friendly, too, which is always nice!
