Overall Franklin's is seen as a reliable choice for lunch or a casual night out in Montreal, offering memorable smoked meat and good drinks with a lively social vibe.
I looked for the busiest place that sold smoked meat & you did not disappoint. This was the best smoked sandwich I had eaten in my life absolutely delicious 🤤
Awesome bar for drinks & hockey nights. Theo was an absolute rockstar - He was attentive, upbeat, made the whole experience even better. Hands?down one of the best servers we've had.
Nothing fancy, but a fun, small place. We visited during the May 2026 long weekend on a hockey game night. That was fun!
The smoked meat sandwich was very good & it had a lot of meat. Tried their Philly cheesesteak & it was ok, very heavy for my taste, but my partner liked it. Also had the fried onion rings & it was a very big portion. Heavy deep fried too, couldn't finish it all.
Overall, it was a fun experience, decent prices for both food & drinks. Like what you'd expect in a non-fancy sports bar.
We'd come back!
Une super bonne cuisine, le service vraiment au top nous nous sommes régalé & nous conseillons à 1000% ´, un service rapide & chaud malgré le monde nous reviendrons & allons le conseiller encore & encore 😍merci à notre serveuse elle était super 🤩
Please stop filling delivery/ubereats Philly cheese steaks to the brim. I know it's strange, but the result you get on Uber Eats is a $30 non edible mess. 8/12 deliveries past 12 months are like this. Sometimes I get lucky, & I get a clean, delicious sandwich.
Phenomenal atmosphere, food, & vibes. The smash burger was so good I couldn't get a photo before it was finished & the wings were cooked perfectly. This place is a hidden gem. Great drinks & the servers, bartender, & manager will give great service & recommendations for local spots. Best smash burger in Montreal from someone who is very picky on burgers.
