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.
Franklin's is described as a lively casual spot with warm, energetic ambiance and retro decor that sets a social mood for a night out or a casual lunch. The smoked meat sandwich, poutine, and Philly cheesesteaks are frequently praised, along with solid burgers and tasty wings, while the drinks and playlists are highlighted as major mood boosters. Service is repeatedly commended for attentiveness and friendliness, with many noting standout bartenders and welcoming hospitality that makes the experience feel personal and easygoing. The vibe is described as sports-friendly and convivial, great for groups, but some reviews mention the space can be loud and not always kid-friendly, with occasional menu items varying in quality such as poutine that can be salty or a sandwich that isn’t as robust as hoped. Taken together the place seems to offer great value, tasty food, and a memorable scene that invites return visits.

We split a smoked meat sandwich plate & onion rings. The sandwich was huge (why we decided to share) & delicious. The fries were really good & the onion rings were fantastic. Came with pickles & a unique cole slaw (apple cider vinegar?). Service was fast & friendly, very happy we stopped here.
La cuisine est très bonne (burger & Philly cheesesteak).
L'ambiance est chouette & les serveurs très simpas. Nous y allons régulièrement & nous ne sommes jamais déçus!
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.
Montréal smoked meat, should be available worldwide & this restaurant does it to perfection! So tender & tasty it's a must try for tourists & anyone else
Jeff was excellent he attended to me right away when I answered the restaurant. He greeted me with a warm smile & asked if I would like to have a drink. I was giving a glass of water since I don't drink alcohol. I asked about the extras on the menu, he went into great detail about the tasting texture of all the food. Coming from Nova Scotia I've never been to a place like this before. Feels tropical it feels like I'm in Hawaii.
Franklin's claims to have the best smoked meats in town. I can't confirm or deny this claim as I haven't tried elsewhere, but this place certainly sets the bar high. Would highly recommend for lunch if you're in the area as it also comes with great service.
