Franklin's Subs and Suds est situé sur la rue St-Paul dans le Vieux-Montréal. Le sous-marin « Philly cheesesteak » à l’honneur au Franklin’s Subs and Suds. Le décor est très réconfortant, jeux d’arcade, magnifique graffiti avec musique d’ambiance.
Les avis convergent pour décrire une ambiance chaleureuse et décontractée avec une déco rétro et une playlist entraînante, et un service rapide et attentionné. La carte est variée et généreuse, avec des coups de coeur pour le smoked meat sandwich, la poutine et le Philly cheesesteak, sans oublier les burgers et les accompagnements qui reçoivent souvent des compliments; les cocktails et les boissons sont également bien appréciés et les portions généreuses. Certaines remarques mentionnent que la poutine peut être un peu grasse ou manquer de saveur selon les plats, et que l'ambiance peut etre plus bruyante que prévu, pas forcément adaptée aux jeunes enfants. Dans l'ensemble, Franklin's est perçu comme une adresse conviviale et abordable pour un déjeuner ou une sortie entre amis, avec un personnel globalement sympathique et des conseils utiles, et c est un lieu qui donne envie de revenir.
5 hockey games, amazing drinks, kick ass tunes, the bartender MacKenzie was amazing, the food was absolute fire. The poutine & Philly cheese steak sandwich were top notch, will never not say this place is amazing.
let me preface this by saying we came here with our toddler which, from the pictures & reviews, seemed like it would be fine. none of the pictures showed the giant wall covered in playboy magazines 😬 add in that the music was BLASTING & they don't have high chairs, we had to eat & run as quickly as possible. suffice it to say we're not the target audience for this environment, a younger crowd may enjoy it more. I don't fault the restaurant for this, just good to know.
the food was fairly good. my husband really enjoyed his smash burger & I liked the poutine, though it was veryyyyy salty. the hoagie was… not great. it really wasn't a hoagie, I didn't know what to make of the meat that was on it, it was almost like bacon but not. it was also pretty sparse. service was not super friendly but not bad. overall, wouldn't come back but don't not recommend.
Jeff & his wife have a fantastic place in Old Montreal. We were greeted right away & sat, & ordered food. Food came out quickly & was unreal - get the smoked meat sandwich & poutine. Thank me later!
We wanted late evening eats & found this amazing establishment.
Loved the smoked meat & smash burgers. Next table over ordered poutine & we were sad we did not get that too! Welcome casual vibes, initial service & food delivery was prompt & friendly. Will revisit to try more & check the playlist.

We were exploring old Montreal & came across Franklin's, decided to go in for smoked meat sandwiches, because you just gotta.
Franklin's has a really good vibe inside - cool retro décor & good music that makes it a nice place to hang out. Service was great: friendly staff & very quick, which we appreciated.
Food-wise, it was mixed. The smoked meat was just okay & quite fatty, which took away from it, & not much flavour. Fries were tasty & probably the highlight. The poutine, however, was also just okay & didn't really stand out.
Overall, nothing was bad, but nothing impressed enough to recommend it either. I wouldn't tell people to stay away, but I wouldn't go out of my way to suggest it.
Went for the poutine but the chicken wings were the star. Really liked how they were prepared, juicy & crispy with nice spices. The smokes meat poutine had a ton of meat & pickles, which was nice but not as awesome as I expected. Restaurant had a lovely atmosphere & friendly service.
I had high expectations when entering this establishment. I saw the reviews, photos & I was excited to try this place. Before this place, I tried Lester's Deli & Schwartz.
The service was good. She was nice & promptly helped us. Nothing much to say but she was nice.
Ordered the smoked meat sandwich, poutine & a hot dog wiz cheese. The smoked meat sandwich was a big surprise but not in a good way. I was told that they switched their smoked meat(resource) from a different a place. When I asked my waitress when did they made the changes she said today, which is December 21st.
The meat wasn't red like the other places but I couldn't taste anything that was smoked meat. I thought it was roast beef but it really wasn't good at all.
Poutine was average. Cheese curd wasn't squeaky & it didn't have much of a chew. hot dog was average, but it was cheap. I think the hot dog is for eating to fill that to enjoy the taste.
I don't know if she was being serious that they changed their smoked meat that day. I hope she wasn't messing with me.
I think the food might taste better if you are drunk or a bit tipsy. I don't drink unfortunately so I cannot see if that would be the case. Maybe it was a bad night, maybe something changed within the business. But it was disappointing that night & my review is based on that night.
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!
