dressed like a dive bar but prices don't act like it.

Got the Philly steak sandwich. It was okay but price was way too expensive. In the steak sandwich they used cheese whip instead of actual cheese.

2 pints of beer & 2 sandwiches came out to be $70

Smoked meat sandwich was not very good. Two small slices of cold dry bread with a few slices of meat! Poutine lukewarm & not enough gravy. Service indifferent. Don't recommend.

They put up with our large crew of American idiots coming through for lunch & the staff was awesome. We all ordered the standard smoked beef sandwich & it was much better than I expected. That style of sandwich is not what I typically gravitate towards instinctively, but I'm sold. Highly recommend for an authentic Montreal culinary experience. The view from our table & the people watching was a great touch too.

Fait cet été sur les conseils d'un guide, on prends seulement 3 sandwichs smoked meat a emporter, 75$ (tva + Tips (12%). Hors de prix & qualité vraiment décevante, la viande ressemblait a un pauv jambon mal cuit qui était très désagréable a manger avec l'impression que tout restait dans les dents.
Dégouté du smoked meat direct.

I wouldnt come back. Honestly super fatty & not in the good sense. We tried the'most recommended items' the smoked ham & the philly sandwich. Honestly the philly tasted nthg but oil & fat, the meat quality is not good & it lacked taste. The smoked ham was a disappointment as it had no taste & a bad smell. The quality of the food is not good. For the price of it id expect smthg better. & even if it s street food, i dnt mind the fat if it was worth it. Also staff not very friendly. Like i sat for 10 min no one came i had to go to them, they asked me hw did i find the food i told them nt that good & they gave me a reaction as if well, your loss. While with other tables they know how to host.

Nthg was worth it.

Franklin's was my very first stop right after landing in Montreal, & it set a fantastic tone for the trip. I ordered the classic smoked meat sandwich along with the chicken poutine. Both were delicious, though the smoked meat sandwich was easily the star of the show-perfectly spiced, tender, & an absolute must-try. The atmosphere here is undeniably lively & somewhat rowdy, making it clear right away that this is a very casual spot. Despite the constant rush, the employees were wonderfully attentive, welcoming, & made sure everyone was taken care of. The only reason I am holding back a full five-star rating comes down to the temperature inside. It was extremely hot & uncomfortable during my visit. Their setup involves keeping the doors wide open-partly to draw in passersby from the street & to connect with their small outdoor seating area. However, the ceiling fans inside provided virtually no relief or airflow, & with no AC running, sitting indoors felt stifling. Other than the heat, it was a memorable meal. I would still highly recommend stopping by-just be prepared that if you visit on a warm day, it might get uncomfortable inside. Get the smoked meat sandwich & you will not be disappointed!

Terrible experience. Was very excited by the prospect of smoked meat sandwiches & was completely disappointed. We waited almost 40 MINUTES for these incredibly sad looking excuses of a'smoked meat' sandwich. I paid $20 for this plate which is absolutely insane, a single sad pickle & meat between 2 slices of untoasted & soggy bread. My friend ordered a Philly cheese steak which was literally ground beef with American cheese on a hotdog bun. THATS IT. Terrible experience, do not bother going here & a complete waste of money.

We enjoyed the bar atmosphere. Sitting by the giant open window on a lovely summer evening was delightful. The staff was very friendly, but inattentive despite it maybe being one third full. The smoked meat sandwich was delicious, & raised it up to a 3 star food rating overall. My family did not enjoy the steamed (a Montreal thing) classic hot dogs, nor the undercooked corn dog, & gave their food a 2 out of 5. However, sold a Montreal style hot dog is your thing, it could be good. I still can't recommend the corn dog. The fries were fine. The fried pickles & remoulade were decent, if not remarkable. The fried mozzarella sticks were good & included salsa. It's a strange inclusion if you are American & used to marinara, but it kind of works.

Nice little spot in the area if you want something quick. Smoked meat sandwich & Philly cheese steak were pretty good. Prices were decent for the portion size.
