Franklin's Subs and Suds is located on St-Paul street in Old-Montreal. Delicious "Philly Cheesesteak" submarines are the main attraction. The decor is very comforting, you'll find arcades, beautifully designed graffiti and great ambient music.
Reviews describe a lively casual spot in the Old Port with strong drinks, quick service and a menu that shines on smoked meat sandwiches, poutine and burgers, delivering solid value and a welcoming vibe. The atmosphere ranges from cozy to energetic, aided by retro decor, music and a bar scene that makes it easy to hang out. The staff are described as attentive and friendly, providing fast service and helpful recommendations. While experiences are mostly positive, some notes mention crowding, noise and occasional variability in dishes such as the poutine. 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.
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!

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.

Ordered a hoagie for 20$, got something more akin to a convenience store pizza sub... it was filled with only pepperoni...not the lunch what i was expecting. If you look at the pictures on uber eats it's not what I got at all.
Nous sommes arrêté pour le dîner. Petit mais chaleureuxvLa place est plus où moins à la moitié. Le temps que nous passons notre commande, çà se remplit. Décor un peu disparate. Menu simple : burgers, sous-marins, smoked meat & poutines.
