The food was very good but nothing really wowed me. The platter for two was ample The sausage had a good smoke & a good snap to it. The ribs & brisket were OK. The coleslaw was very good. The cucumber salad was overpowered by the fresh dill. The brisket & pulled pork sandwiches were also tasty however just seemed a bit too boring. I was expecting a more elevated sandwich. Overall no complaints, perhaps I was expecting more. The guy taking the order was super friendly & efficient. I would try the place again since I find the price point for what I got was justified.

Very busy place at Atwater market. Got some indoor seating . Noisy & not lots of room but the food was great, I had seen a tiktok about it & I decided to my my way to try it out from Mascouche. A family of 3 shared a very very good really deli French fry. None of that frozen fry crap. Those were some greasy deli fries. The smoke meat was loved by my son who said it was second best to Schwartz. & I had the ruban. Was very moist & savory , Great taste. I would eat there again if ever I am in that part of town to have another ruban. Pickle was good too. Highly recommend & prices were not that bad compared to other smoke meat places. About 16$ each.

Ribs are brisket were perfectly prepared.

Tried their daily platter at the Atwater market.

The sausage & ribs were really good. The pickled accompaniments & potato salad was really good as well.

The mac & cheese was ok... A bit too cheesy for my liking.

Really busy spot & can see why. Got the reuben & classic smoked meat sandwiches & both were good. Both had overflowing meat, but the reuben had sauerkraut & cheese while the classic had mustard. While I had a few nitpicks - mustard could have had more kick, sauerkraut could have been more tangy - I enjoyed both.

Lines are long but they move quickly. Counter seating is limited so get ready to takeout or rush to the tables outside. People there are welcoming while also knowing how to keep things moving. Overall, this spot does justice to the Montreal smoked meat experience.

Très belle première expérience. Nourriture de qualité, bon service. 1 étoile retirée par le manque d'assiette combinée & le prix vraiment élevé des éléments pris séparément.

Like most things in Montreal -- nothing lasts. First visit to this place was spectacular. Super tasty, reasonably large, fall off the bone ribs. This time... mediocre taste, small.
