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.
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 & drinks were awesome & our server Theo was great as well really liked the set up, food & drinks came out pretty quick as well. Had the smoke meat sandwich that was hot & fresh & my wife had a poutine that she thoroughly liked, also had a the bloody Ceasar so good had to have two!
Me & my friends tried the Smoked Meat Poutine & sandwich & the poulet poutine & it was delicious! Theo was an amazing server & gave us really good recommendations!
Best place to watch the ballgame. Best drinks & amazing atmosphere. Poutine was amazing but so were the cocktails. A great place to have fun & meet amazing people!!

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.
It was pretty decent! The original philly was SO good & great to share - would have loved a little more meat in it, but amazing flavor & OG cheese whiz. The poutine was nothing to go crazy for. It had decent flavor from the gravy alone, but it was soupy & soggy, & nothing special. Would recommend you get a sandwich here & stop for poutine down the street!
Fyi for parents, there are PlayBoy magazines all over the walls.
Les sandwichs sont délicieux, la poutine typique avec des pommes de terre fraîches est vraiment top. L'ambiance est super sympa, avec une playlist géniale que j'ai adorée !

We loved Franklin's so much we went twice during our 5-day stay! Tristan was amazing, funny, kind, & gave great recommendations. The drinks were top notch & the poutine was delicious. Such a good time every visit!
Got take out here during a trip to Montreal. We ordered a smoked meat poutine which was 10/10 phenomenal. We also got a smoked meat sandwich which left a bit to be desired- the bread was not toasted & the sandwich was quite dry.
Tasnime was an excellent bartender & server. Very friendly & helpful for out of towners! Highly recommend, vegetarian poutine was excellent & great price! Anthony was also excellent, friendly & great server!!
