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.
We came to the bar / restaurant & we loved the service, the music & the food! Tristan was awesome & super helpful about answering all our questions! We highly recommended!!
Our bartender Tristan made excellent drinks & was super fast! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a burger & fries joint. Walk in & say hey!

Première fois au Franklin's j'ai adoré mon experience. L'ambiance, le service étaient à la hauteur de mes attentes. Surtout le serveur Keven son sourire & son énergie Wow. Je vous le recommande!
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
Recommended by our tour guide. It was overpriced & the food was mediocre at best. Offensive Playboy magazine covers was a turnoff. NY Yankees shirts only redeeming decoration.
Bartenders Kevin & Mackenzie are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, definitely recommend. They made our bachelorette night the best ever!!! Such a fun experience, they were so accommodating!!

This place is the perfect spot for having a great time with friends at the old port, without old port prices. The food is regular comfort food . I think the magic of this place is their service, the atmosphere & the drinks!! ! .. I went there for my birthday & they made sure everyone had a great time & felt welcomed ... I recommend this place 1000%😍😍😍 they also have the best staff
Of course MTL has a lot to offer & so much to see. Our group wanted a relaxed place with great food & TVs for hockey playoffs. This place provided all that we wanted & more!! The manager Geoff & Tristan (sorry if spelled incorrectly) provided great customer service & great vibes during our time there. We were in MTL for 6 days & we managed to return to Franklins several times either for quick drinks, a night of food & drinks or even just to say Hi while exploring the old port &/or shopping. Highly recommend!

I love Franklins. We visit Montreal once a year from San Diego & they always treat us like family. The food is great & the cocktails are amazing. I highly recommend!
Came here several times while visiting from San Diego & thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food & cocktails. 4 TV screens at the bar make this a great place to watch the hockey games. All of the staff at Franklins were friendly & engaging & went above & beyond to ensure me & my group had a great experience. Can't recommend this place enough. Will absolutely be back next time I'm in Montreal. (Sorry I forgot to take pictures)
Go here! Really low key, casual, good value & fun atmosphere. The smoked meat poutine was the best I've had & I've tried a lot of poutine. People behind us came in & out with tour guides just to pick up the poutine to-go on their tour so that tells you it's a spot worth going to. Our waiter was even kind enough to change out a bill for us to have enough bus fare (they only take coins unless you buy a pass). I'd definitely recommend Franklins & go again.
Went here for brunch while staying at a nearby hotel. The server on the floor was attentive, kind, & spoke both English & French. The food was delicious, I didn't need to ask for any extra condiments or napkins. I got the Beyond Meat Burger combo with fries & a soda. Prices were consistent with the market & not super inflated. The atmosphere is awesome! Highly recommend!
