Chenoy's est souvent décrit comme un deli a l'ancienne du West Island, avec une ambiance nostalgique, des portions généreuses et des prix raisonnables, et un smoked meat apprécié par beaucoup. L'accueil et le service sont majoritairement loues, mais certains avis signalent des experiences plus mitigées comme des frites seches, une viande manquant de saveur et des temps d'attente mal communiques. Les formules takeout et les plats familiaux sont considers de bonnes affaires et le cadre old school est souligne comme rassurant et reconfortant. Un avis mentionne une fermeture d'urgence pour infestation de souris et des amendes, illustrant un episode difficile, mais la reputation de Chenoy's comme reference du smoked meat perdure. Dans l'ensemble, les retours forment une image d'une experience authentique et populaire avec des hauts et des bas selon les visites.
Chenoys has been around forever. I remember riding my purple bike with the paisley banana seat there, wearing my bright yellow CKGM t-shirt, to win a free smoked meat sandwich. I live in Toronto now & visit Montreal a few times a year, & always, always, & always, stop in at Chenoys. I eat there with some trepidation because, although the place looks clean, albeit dated, it smells like a toilet. But it's the best place I know of to buy a smoked meat sandwich. My mom is in a nursing home & I always bring her a sandwich & a slice of strawberry cheesecake.

Classic diner style restaurant. Smoke meat sandwich was top notch! I ordered old style medium fat & the flavourful meat melts in your mouth. Nice staff. Worth the drive!
This is just to remind myself not to go there again. The gentleman whobserved me was very pleasant. I ordered at 11:38 & got my food at 11:48hrs. The French fries were like I microwaved them from the night before & were scarce. Pickle & coleslaw were fresh. I specifically asked for medium fat & received the leanest smoke meat I have ever been served....not happy. Also, the meat had NO flavour. The only zip from the sandwich was from some extraneous pepper. For the price I should have gone to yagel bagel, microwaved the meat & ate my pickles from home. For the price? Meh & naw...
Ordered 1 Exprees Smoked Meat sandwich & 1 Chicken Strips Express. Was told the strips would take a bit to make, happy to here instead of waiting with no communication. All was excellent.
We love the throwback vibe & the great sandwiches here. It's our go to stop on the way out of Montreal. Plenty of parking & friendly service. Bonus that it's my dad's spot.
Local friends brought us here right after our flight to try our first proper smoked meat sandwich & did not disappoint. Friday evening, it was quite quiet. The decor is very old school diner complete with vinyl booths, stained glass lamps (love!) & lovely service. We ordered the original smoked meat sandwich platter with some shrimp & steak & upgraded to a poutine of course. The sandwich was quite tasty but the steak was a little dry. Not surprising as we didn't come here for the steak. Loved the poutine though. A must try! We also ordered a cheesecake to go on the road with us to share with some friends & OMG is it heavy & dense! True deli cafe style. I love my cheesecake but I couldn't finish my slice sadly.
Old school deli & restaurant. Opened 24 hours. Large parking lot, easy to find a space, the entrance is around the front. We went in for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday around 10:30am. No wait to sit down. Service was friendly & helpful answering questions we had about the menus. Coffee & water was quickly served while we settle on what to order. The decor is old school deli/bar counter as well as leather booths. The lights above the booths have Chenoy 1936 emblazoned on them. Good variety of selections, have a separate breakfast menu as well. The smoked meat is available in different items throughout the menu. Had the smoked meat omelet, & the big boy breakfast combo. Food came out quickly, hit the spot. If I came again I'd definitely have the smoked meat sandwich. The meat in the omelet had a nice classic smoked meat flavor.

I would have given 5 star if the fries were good. We left all of our fries on the plates for both of our meals unfortunately. Other then that the sandwiches were both tasty, the french onion soup was ok, wouldn't order it again. Stick to the smoked meat folks.
Expensive.. Disappointment. $29 + tip.. for a handful of soggy fries, & a poorly sliced jumbo sandwich. Bread was soaked, fries undercooked & small portion. This place has lost a step. Pu Jamais..!

As a young adult, Chenoy's was one of the only restaurants that was open late, or 24/7. After clubbing, it was the place to go & grab a bite before heading home. That was some time ago, & it hasn't changed. The old-fashioned smoke meat is exactly the same. Served warm on rye bread with yellow mustard. I ordered the combo, so the sandwich plate had fries, coleslaw, & a crunchy pickle. To be honest, the meal was very good except for the fries. They weren't quite cooked enough. The inside & outside were cold & limp. Not the best. We did enjoy our lunch. Service was quick, so it's the perfect place to go for a business/work lunch hour.
First let me start off with : I know now why all Chenoy's have slowly closed everywhere.Walked in on a Friday late afternoon into a morgue.Was seating & preceded to order a "Jumbo" old fashioned smoked meat plate at $19.99.The drinks & fries came first then the punchline of a joke came.The sandwich i got didn't even resemble a regular size , i took a pic.When i put the rye bread on the meat & held it , it had about 1 inch of meat.I've never complained about food in my life but this was just straight mocking the customer to my face.I called over the waitress & asked: "Does this look like a "Jumbo" sandwich ?" I said "What does the regular sandwich look like?"She has the audacity to say "Smaller than that".I took the picture & got up & walked out of that miserable place.Mocking your customers will only close the place down faster , which i hope it does & therefore put it out of its misery.Went to La Belle Province & had 2 bigger sandwiches for $3.00 more ($23)Mark my words this place will follow in the footsteps of the other Chenoy's .....Don't waste your time or money.
We just ate at Chenoys on St. Jean in the west island. We wanted a good smoked meat sandwich sorely disappointed.
First, there was none of the dry old fashioned smoked meat again, so we ordered the regular spicy one. Unfortunately the meat was cut too thick, but the real disappointment was that they changed the bread they used to use & replaced the rye with a new flimsy toast style bread. It just turned to mush on the sandwich, had a different flavour that didn't fit with the sandwich, & the whole flavor was off. Service was fine though & that was the only good thing.
The smoked meat sandwich was a real disappointment after being so much better for 30 years.
If this is what they will continue do in the future, we'll go elsewhere like Moe's, Smoked Meat Pete's, & Abys which all have better smoked meat sandwiches than Chenoy's now.
