Review Summary

Greenspot is widely regarded as a quintessential Montreal institution, celebrated for its nostalgic, vintage diner atmosphere and reliable comfort food. Many guests praise the restaurant for its generous portions, particularly its signature poutine, smoked meat sandwiches, and diverse menu options that cater to various cravings. While the majority of visitors highlight the fast service and friendly staff as key components of their positive experience, others note that the dining environment can be busy and occasionally inconsistent in terms of service attentiveness. Despite some mixed feedback regarding specific dish preparations or wait times during peak hours, most patrons view the establishment as an authentic, reasonably priced local staple that successfully captures the charm of a classic greasy spoon.

I was in town for a business trip & noticed this place was conveniently located near my meeting, so I decided to give it a try. Since it was my first visit, I went with the classics: a lean Montreal smoked meat sandwich & a small poutine. I also asked for extra pickles.
The cashier was friendly & even commented that I had made a great choice. While waiting for my takeout order, I got a good feel for the restaurant-the atmosphere was welcoming, & both the staff & customers seemed genuinely friendly.
The smoked meat sandwich was outstanding. The meat was tender & flavorful, & they were generous with the pickles, which were crisp & delicious. The poutine was a little on the salty side for my taste, but it was still very tasty.
I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town, & I think I'll be trying one of their famous hot dogs.

I've been here multiple times for breakfast, brunch, dinner, & of course their amazing poutines. Greenspot is definitely my go-to neighborhood diner.

The prices are fair, the portions are big, & the food always tastes fresh. You always leave satisfied. I've tried several of their poutines & they all slap. The hot dogs are also crazy good.

The staff are always nice & friendly too. Even on busy weekend mornings when the place is packed, they still make an effort to serve you with a smile & bring you what you need as quickly as possible.

If you're looking for a bite in the area, Greenspot is always a consistent & safe choice. Lovely place!

I tried the hot dogs & they were actually very good & tasty. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with the poutine. I didn't really like the cheese curds-they were very hard-& the fries were quite mushy.

If I come back, I would probably stick to the hot dogs or try some of the other menu items. I was also a bit disappointed with the customer service, as the person taking the order didn't seem very friendly.

Overall, the hot dogs were the highlight of my visit.

As a longtime Southwest resident, this has to be one of the best restaurants in the area. It may not be'trendy/instagrammable' (to be fair, it's an old school style of restaurant) but you can always count on Green Spot to get something comforting & fufilling at a decent price.

Their poutine is great. & I highly recommend their'Special hotdog' (Fries inside the hotdog)

Reconnus pour ses hotdogs. Mais un menu table d'hôte intéressant est proposé. Tout est bon. Perso je n'aime pas leur sauce a poutine.

Service & Atmosphere were great. Parking is the worst in this area. Heard this was one of the best spots in MTL for poutine sadly It's not….but the Hotdogs are great & the smoked meat was good. Avoid the chicken souvlaki, bland rice & underdressed salad & overcooked chicken. For a Greek diner I expected better. Poutine was mid, tasted more like Ontario style, bland & curds while plentiful were not squeaky. Great atmosphere & again amazing service. This spot is def best for Steamés & probably awesome for breakfast. The fountain coke is super good at this place.
