We wanted late evening eats & found this amazing establishment.
Loved the smoked meat & smash burgers. Next table over ordered poutine & we were sad we did not get that too! Welcome casual vibes, initial service & food delivery was prompt & friendly. Will revisit to try more & check the playlist.

We were exploring old Montreal & came across Franklin's, decided to go in for smoked meat sandwiches, because you just gotta.

Franklin's has a really good vibe inside - cool retro décor & good music that makes it a nice place to hang out. Service was great: friendly staff & very quick, which we appreciated.

Food-wise, it was mixed. The smoked meat was just okay & quite fatty, which took away from it, & not much flavour. Fries were tasty & probably the highlight. The poutine, however, was also just okay & didn't really stand out.

Overall, nothing was bad, but nothing impressed enough to recommend it either. I wouldn't tell people to stay away, but I wouldn't go out of my way to suggest it.

Went for the poutine but the chicken wings were the star. Really liked how they were prepared, juicy & crispy with nice spices. The smokes meat poutine had a ton of meat & pickles, which was nice but not as awesome as I expected. Restaurant had a lovely atmosphere & friendly service.

I had high expectations when entering this establishment. I saw the reviews, photos & I was excited to try this place. Before this place, I tried Lester's Deli & Schwartz.

The service was good. She was nice & promptly helped us. Nothing much to say but she was nice.

Ordered the smoked meat sandwich, poutine & a hot dog wiz cheese. The smoked meat sandwich was a big surprise but not in a good way. I was told that they switched their smoked meat(resource) from a different a place. When I asked my waitress when did they made the changes she said today, which is December 21st.

The meat wasn't red like the other places but I couldn't taste anything that was smoked meat. I thought it was roast beef but it really wasn't good at all.

Poutine was average. Cheese curd wasn't squeaky & it didn't have much of a chew. hot dog was average, but it was cheap. I think the hot dog is for eating to fill that to enjoy the taste.

I don't know if she was being serious that they changed their smoked meat that day. I hope she wasn't messing with me.

I think the food might taste better if you are drunk or a bit tipsy. I don't drink unfortunately so I cannot see if that would be the case. Maybe it was a bad night, maybe something changed within the business. But it was disappointing that night & my review is based on that night.

Je n'ai pas aimé la poutine, mais surtout le serveur avait une attitude ambigüe qui m'a mise mal à l'aise.

A great place for poutine in downtown. It was honestly better than some other hyped up ones. It's a bit crammed in there but vibes are high

Quiet & cozy place (despite the fact that it looks like a sports bar), friendly bartender, & nice poutine with crispy potatoes.

Absolutely Love! Was recommended as my tour guide's favourite poutine spot in Old Montreal, & while I didn't get that, their Smash Burger did not disappoint at all! Highly recommend!
The vibes were great! shoutout Tasnime!

Food was decent, went in to share a beer & a poutine. Server was passive aggressive, very snappy & not understanding. Definitely a lot of attitude, & kept on circling around wanting us to order more when my partner & I only wanted to try their poutine. Prices were a little higher than what it's worth, especially the beer. Not the spot if you're a student, go somewhere else. Atmosphere was rather quiet & chill, unlike the server. I'd much rather go to some other place locally.

Small place which we went too for the poutine. Was unique since it had smoked meat & pickles which sounds strange but combines really well
