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.
Excellent service, tasty food, & cool space. If you're looking for a place to grab lunch & enjoy a beverage in the rich history of Montreal, this is the place! Very tasty poutine!
The poutine didn't have a lot of flavor but the French fries & double cheeseburger were fantastic. It was one of the best burgers I've had, & I've had a lot! The service was pretty good & the location was small but decorated with sports memorabilia & Americana. The soda was served in cans instead of from a fountain, but that could be normal in Quebec. Overall it was a great experience & everyone loved their food!

We found this little gem on the first day of our trip to Montreal. We were cold, starving & kinda lost when we found it. We had a smoked meat poutine & a philly's cheesesteak sub. Our host, Jean Francois, was very attentive, super friendly, & very knowledgeable. Drinks were on point. The food was served incredibly fast & delicious. Definitely 100% recommended!
Franklin in Montreal offers a culinary experience that's undeniably impressive, with dishes that are expertly crafted & bursting with flavor. I had the fish & chips, which were perfectly crispy with a tender, flaky interior, & the steak poutine-a decadent delight with rich gravy, tender steak bites, & perfectly melted cheese curds. The food alone could easily make this spot a favorite. However, the ambiance left something to be desired. The background music, while modern, included tracks with adult sarcastic language that felt out of place &, frankly, off-putting for an otherwise upscale dining experience. It distracted from what could have been a completely enjoyable evening. While the food was memorable, I hope Franklin reconsiders their playlist to better match the quality of their menu & create a more welcoming atmosphere for all diners. If you're someone who prioritizes food over ambiance, it's worth a visit-but be prepared for an edgy soundtrack.
