Georges deli was established in 1997. It is a family-run restaurant located in Laval. Our smoked meat is prepared the old-fashioned way. All briskets are spiced, aged, and smoked in house. Come join us for lunch or dinner and experience the taste of tradition.
Reviews praise fast, courteous service and a strong, authentic Montreal smoked meat experience that many say is the best in Laval at George's, often described as tender, flavorful and reliably smoky with a generous plate that includes fries, coleslaw and pickle. The meat is repeatedly highlighted as the main draw, with comments that its fat can be rich or melt in your mouth when ordered medium, and that the same house smoking style delivers real, satisfying meat rather than the warmed cold cuts found elsewhere. Fries are noted variably as homemade would be a plus, with some saying the current fries are meh or frozen, while others say the fries pair well when eaten with the sandwich. Ambiance and decor are described as plain or basic, sometimes dark and lacking service at tables, but the overall experience is consistently described as focused on the meat, value, and generous portions, making it a go-to spot and a reliable alternative to downtown options. Takeout and dine-in are both convenient, and many indicate they would return when in Laval, comparing favorably to other spots and calling it the best smoked meat in the area.
Excellent Smoke meat, pas tout à fait comme Schwartz mais aussi bon. Service rapide, nourriture chaude , salade de choux & frites excellentes également. Le cornichon était assez ordinaire toutefois. Le hic, c'est l'ambiance! c'est simple il n'y en a pas, c'est assez ordinaire à l'intérieur, sombre & ennuyant, pas de service aux tables. On commande en entrant & on attend qu'il nous fasse signe. Si vous y allez pour déguster un excellent smoke meat, vous ne serez pas déçu...mais oubliez l'ambiance.
The smoke meat was tasty but not the best I've had. I didn't know that you order at the counter & your food is served on a cafeteria brown tray. The fries are frozen fries. The decor, well there is none to speak of & outdated. For the price they charge, I'll go to their competitor that's almost next door forthe same price. Won't be returning.

Odered from Georges Deli for the first time yesterday & wow... Smoke meat is very tasty & tender, generous portions for the price!! Better than most places that sell smoke meat!
Ps. Thank you for the 2 extra slices of bread as requested via Uber, much appreciated 👍🏼
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*
Best smoked meat à Laval ! La viande est fraîche, juteuse & délicieuse. L'humble extérieur cache en fait une bonne adresse cachée que seule les habitués connaissent. Je recommande de prendre'medium/fat' pour le goût. Le service est toujours efficace. 🫶❤?

Je me suis régalée, c'étais une assiette généreuse , une viande tendre & savoureuse & les gens très gentil & sympathique, c'est clair que je vais y retourner.
Smoked Meat made & Smoked inhouse. Just as good as that other place & no crazy line ups. George's son's run the restaurant. Nice guys. The sandwich was stacked !!!
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!

Some of the best smoked meat I've had in all my years in Montreal. I heard that old man George used to work for Schwartz's before going off on his own to open his own place… & boy does it show! Will be returning there not just for the great smoked meat but also for the incredibly fair prices.

Le restaurant n'a plus son cachet d'antan il me semble que les cuisiniers actuels ne sont plus vraiment intéressé a faire de ce restaurant un succès quel dommage pour le fondateur.....
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.
Terrible smoked meat. It was so dry, had zero taste, the ketchup was more brown than red. It oxidized. Used to be best in Laval, now it's avoid at all cost. Will never return. Will make the drive to Pete's next time.
Très bonne viande à smoke meet, la qualité du pain & de la moutardes ne rendent pas justice à cette délicieuse viande, petit resto de quartier bien tunue & très propre Le prix pour un sandwich jumbo & une liqueur 23$ ce qui est super vue que ça équivaut à 1 1/2 sandwich, vraiment pas che
