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.

We showed up well before closing time after a night out. Ordered 2 poutines to go thinking it would be a quick meal. Half an hour later they were nowhere to be found despite seeing a dozen poutines be sent out of the kitchen. I had to ask about my poutine because they were closing & the staff gave me attitude as if it was my fault I was still waiting for my food. After my complaint they sent out one poutine & the second one was never seen, they didn't even refund us the full amount for the second poutine. Rude staff & the food is average at best. It is not the customers fault that you choose to stay open late.

Takes you back into time! We were recommended this spot from a local & it was the best poutine we've ever had.

Je donne 3 étoiles à leur poutine. Elle est ben correct mais pas particulièrement impressionnante & je suis difficile ! Le fromage est relativement frais & il essaie fort de squick un peu avec un peu de difficulté, la sauce est pas pire & les frites sont correctes mais sans plus.

Very average poutine. Expected much better from a place with so many varieties, & at the minimum more than a spoonful of gravy.

Read online they had the best burgers & fries in town, so I wanted to try it. Trés bien! Merci! I'm not normally into fries but I attempted to finish these because they're better than most places offer! I bet the poutine's as good as they say, based on these fries.

Nourriture & service vraiment merdique. Je ne comprends pas les gens dans les commentaires qui disent que c'est la meilleure poutine de Montréal… La serveuse était vraiment nonchalante. Mon mari & moi avons pris une poutine, la sauce goutait le brulé, & les frittes n'étaient pas bonne, viande hachée sec & smoked meat rempli de gras. En général, pas une bonne expérience. J'ai l'impression que les gens vont là simplement pour l'ambiance & la nostalgie du restaurant.

Love the food, I had a poutine which was up there one of the best I've had. Fries have to be real, not frozen, & they are.
My son had a club sandwich which was average, not bad, not special.
The place is so busy, the wait Sunday for lunch was long.
The people working there are friendly, or waitress was stellar.
Try this place but not Sunday for lunch😉.

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.
