Greenspot comes across as a quintessential Montreal diner, celebrated for smoked meat sandwiches and legendary poutine, with generous portions and fast, friendly service, and a nostalgic retro vibe that keeps customers coming back for comforting, affordable classics, while some reviews note variations in poutine quality and occasional service hiccups, yet the overall impression is that Greenspot is an institution delivering reliable comfort food and an unpretentious, homey dining experience.
Oh yeaah so this review might not help much lol but eh if yall are craving pizza & a damn heavy cheesy cheese pizza or pepperoni or even a meat lover this is yo spot after a night of heavy partying or evening strolling through the city & your tummy looking to be full, this is the right spot. Of course, they not only have pizza, but definitely other items are on the menu. Burgers with fries, sandwiches, shakes, breakfast. It's all there. Hit them up for a morning or lunch or dinner dine in.
I am still questioning the proportion of bread to meat in a sandwich, everywhere in Montreal. But no questions on the great flavors in this place. Chips could have been better (read crispy) but the meats made it all good. Stopped for a brunch on the Canada day & it was worth the drive. 100% recommended.
Très bon restaurant bien typé américain ou manger de très bonnes poutines, viande fumée ou sandwich club. Déco rétro. Très bon service & rapide. On a commandé deux grandes assiettes de poutine pour deux adultes & deux enfants, on a eu du mal à finir. Avec un sandwich de viande fumée & 4 boissons plus le tip de 15% nous avons payé 75$ & nous étions repus.
Caveat, we generally are not really into fast food, but we do like a good pastrami sandwich & wanted to try poutine, & love historic vintage places, so we decided to give Greenspot a try. The smoked meat sandwich & poutine were the best things we tried. I liked the squeaky cheese & the style of fries, both crispy & soft at the same time, but the gravy was a bit too salty. The smoked meat sandwich was stuffed with meat, like at Katz's Deli in New York & tasted great. The pizza which my son had oddly had the pepperoni under the cheese (maybe this is a Canadian thing). He enjoyed it. My daughter & husband shared a lasagna, but we were shocked to receive a massive family size portion with the lunch menu. But it was not great... There were dry inedible pasta edges, & parts where the pasta doesn't have sauce in between & it's just layers of cooked pasta stuck together. There were also a lot of whole cloves in the sauce for some reason, & my daughter hurt her tooth biting one. The minestrone soup that came with the lasagna was just average diner soup, possibly canned soup heated up. Overall, the meal was heavy & what you'd expect of an average diner. Not great but not awful. Also the lunch special was supposed to come with coffee & a dessert, which would have been way too much food, considering the massive portions, but I did notice that the waitress didn't bring it up & ask if we wanted it. On the plus side, it's cool to eat in a vintage diner, & I wish we had a coin to try the jukebox at the table. We didn't find out if they worked or not.

J'ai récemment dîné au restaurant Greenspot à Saint-Henri, Montréal, & l'expérience a été tout simplement formidable. Dès que vous entrez, l'ambiance rétro vous transporte dans une autre époque, avec ses banquettes en vinyle & son décor vintage. C'est l'endroit parfait pour une sortie décontractée entre amis ou en famille.La nourriture était délicieuse & réconfortante. Lors de ma première visite, j'ai goûté leur pizza-ghetti, un plat généreux & savoureux qui m'a rappelé les repas faits maison. Lors de ma deuxième visite, j'ai opté pour le club sandwich, qui était tout aussi excellent. Les frites qui accompagnaient mes plats étaient incroyablement bonnes, croustillantes à l'extérieur & moelleuses à l'intérieur - un vrai régal !Le service était également remarquable. Le personnel était accueillant, souriant & très attentif à nos besoins. Ils ont pris le temps de nous expliquer le menu & de nous donner des recommandations personnalisées.En termes de rapport qualité-prix, Greenspot est un excellent choix. Les portions sont généreuses & les prix restent abordables. En résumé, Greenspot est un véritable joyau à Saint-Henri. Si vous cherchez un endroit avec une ambiance unique, une cuisine savoureuse & un service chaleureux, ne cherchez pas plus loin. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !
I've been going there for years.Friendly & very efficient!They obviously are true survivors.They were there when hot dogs were fifteen cents.Guessing 75 to 80years ago.Club sandwich hands down best in Montreal & there fries too.Jimmy in the front gives great service,& is always very pleasant.Good job guys!!!!Ps Jimmy who works in the front is the best.Always gives great service...

Sans doute ma meilleure expérience culinaire à Montréal : dès qu'on entre, ça sent la viande fumée, on entend le bruit des steaks qui cuisent sur le grill. Les booths sont confortables & larges. Le service est avenant, très sympathique. Une carte très longue, des burgers, des sandwichs, des poutines, des plats grecs,... On s'est régalé, & on y est même revenu avant de prendre notre bus pour Toronto, juste pour y repasser 1h !
Best poutine in the world. The smoked meat is excellent. The fries are some of the best in the univers. Club sandwich is 5 stars. Breakfast is the best in the city. Be careful, this place becomes addictive very quickly.

La poutine s'est démarqué du reste (8/10) Le burger Popeye est bon (7/10) Le sandwich smoked meat est bien (7/10) Prix raisonable , beaucoup de choix sur le menu Bien occupé , gros volume de clients versus le volume de serveuse donc être patient dans les heures de pointes
Leur smoked meat est fade, sec & manque sérieusement d'épices. De plus, j'ai trouvé que leur sandwich est plutôt petit. Il est évident que le monde qui aime le smoked meat chez Greenspot n'a jamais été chez Schwartz's pour goûter l'authentique. Mais bon! Il n'y a peut-être rien de mieux à proximité du Greenspot... pis le monde doit s'en contenter.
Service rapide... mais les assiettes m'ont été un peu trop garochées sur la table. Pas très professionnel !
