Such a cozy spot with good food & cocktails. Tristian is so welcoming & truly makes the experience at Franklins. The Franklins Poutine was divine- a must get!
Popped in before heading to Les Foufounes Électriques & had a great experience. Sapporo on tap, smoked meat poutine was plentiful & delicious. Plenty of tvs to watch sports. Visiting from NYC & it's definitely a chill, late-night eatery vibe. Music is great, at level where you can talk to your company. Super friendly staff.

Stopped here for a quick meal after a long & exhausting weekend. We loved the unfussy, low-key vibes. Our poutine was pretty good (pickles might be my new go-to topping) & the cocktails were enjoyable too. A lot of comfort food on the menu.
Walked into this place as it was irresistible in curb appeal with popping music & bright atmosphere. The owner clearly has taste with the Playboy atmosphere set in a women's lib welcome setting; the bartender Tristan is like a superstar, model - & I'm not Gay except in spirit & acceptance. My wife felt special & the food was oooo lah la for burgers & poutines. You wanna start early & end late at this joint with Music that makes my mujer dance & drinks that look right out of the copacabana - heath @ stowe media , directo
Buen local con ventiladores pero se estaba bien, con pantallas para ver deportes. El servicio correcto y el camarero amable. Hemos pedido las poutine de pollo y dos hamburgesas una cheese y la otra doble cheese con bacon con combo( son patatas fritas normales) y una limonada. Pongo dos estrellas en ambiente porque habia unos chavales haciendo bastante jaleo ( ruido).
I stopped by Franklin's Subs & Suds in Old Montreal one night, & it was a fantastic way to end the evening. The highlight of my visit was the poutine with smoked meat. The fries were perfectly crispy, the gravy was savory without being overwhelming, & the smoked meat brought a rich, satisfying flavor that tied it all together. It was comfort food at its finest. The atmosphere at night was cozy & inviting, with just the right amount of buzz to keep the energy up without feeling crowded. The beer selection was impressive, offering plenty of options to pair with the meal. I enjoyed the relaxed vibe, where you could sit back & savor your food while soaking in the historic surroundings of Old Montreal. Overall, Franklin's delivered a great experience. The combination of tasty food, a comfortable setting, & a prime location makes it a spot worth visiting, especially after dark when Old Montreal's charm is at its peak. Four stars for a memorable night out with excellent poutine.

I had an incredible experience at Franklin's in Montreal. The food was absolutely delicious-I tried poutine for the first time with smoked beef, & it was amazing. The Philly cheesesteak was also fantastic. The service was top-notch, with super friendly staff that made the experience even better. Overall, I was really happy with everything & noticed that the friendliness of employees in Montreal is truly remarkable.

La meilleure poutine de Montréal. Un service, une ambiance & un décor trop top. On adore & on y est revenus avant notre retour en France 😉 Allez-y les yeux fermés 😋
Manager was a legend. The most Welcoming we have felt in Montreal. We sat at the bar. He was accommodating & had great recommendations. We had a pint, an aperol spritz & a perfectly made espresso martini (hard to find). The smoked meat poutine is basically Reuben on poutine. It was glorious. Staff were all super nice & fun. I highly recommend a stop.
Stopped in because we really needed a washroom. They allowed us even though we were not customers (yet). They spoke English so we Decided to stay & try the food. Poutine was wonderful. Good atmosphere Good music Good service Fellow that greeted us had a nice smile Would definitely recommend Thanks
I have realized belatedly that Saint Paul is a tourist trap with terrible food. We were going from one resto to the next trying to get a table & finally settled on this casse-croûte snack bar out of desperation. I have enjoyed hot dog & poutine at similar spots in Montreal in the past but the poutine here was extremely salty & bad. I think I have had better poutine at a Smoke's in Ontario & that is a poor example of the dish. The hot dog was okay. Very much college student bar with loud music & a wall covered with Playboy covers.
