Review Summary

George's offers an exceptional smoked meat experience that is widely considered the best in Laval and a top contender in Canada. Diners consistently praise the brisket for its authentic, house-smoked quality, describing it as moist, tender, and perfectly spiced, with many highlighting that the medium-fat cut provides the most flavorful melt-in-your-mouth texture. Beyond the meat, the establishment is frequently noted for generous portions, friendly and efficient service, and a welcoming atmosphere that serves as a fantastic alternative to downtown lineups. While opinions on the sides vary, the overall consensus is that the high quality of the food and the consistency of the flavors make it a must-visit destination for any smoked meat enthusiast.

We were in Montreal for F1 & decided to try George's for a smoked meat sandwich - takeout. We were greated with a friendly hello & prompt service. My buddy wanted his order customized for his wife who is gluten free & they were more than will to give him the'open face' with extra pickles ( great garlic taste). He asked for the lean & the meat was still moist & very flavorful. I ordered the Jumbo platter, med fatty, which, in my opion = flavor, Cole slaw & fries. Cole slaw was fantastic, not creamy at all, which I think is so much better taste wise. The portion of fries was good & we're done well.
Overall great food & value...nice job guys.

Overall good experience. Had the smoked meat sandwich plate. Generous portions. Smoke meat taste was decent. Quiet & very clean seating areas. Was a bit pricier than expected cause the menu screenshots uploaded are old, but not more than most other places- cost me $30 for the plate & a canned drink.

2025 update: still incredible! Just get medium fat & everything is butter smooth! Very very good smoked meat & fries, was there a couple of hours ago, definitely one of my best spots in Laval. Prices are similar to other places. They was a fat smoked meat sandwich, the fat isn't hard, it melts, absolutely delicious 🤤 always!

If you like Schwartz's Deli you will love george's. They're Almost identical. Medium fat sandwich is the move. Get the plate served with fries, coleslaw & a pickle. Reasonably priced for quantity & quality. 8.5/10. Edit: I reordered recently & I change my rating. Just amazing! *9.1/10*

Oh my god, have a medium fat sandwich & simply enjoy! The sandwich is filled with more meat than competition, the flavors are very very similar to Schwartz's. I couldn't have guessed blindly. The good news is that I don't have to go to Montreal anymore :) Friendly staff!

I've been eating here for well-over 20 years. Not only is the deli phenomenal, the staff (family-owned) is friendly & honest. Bathrooms are always clean. If you're in Laval & crave a juicy smoked meat sandwich, this is THE place to go.
