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.
A trip in the past with the same food & atmosphere. Basic,no frills, authentic & well done food. The waitresses are professionals & enjoy what they are doing. Family , friendly feel with several regular customers. From the traditional egg & bacon to the poutine, steak & fish & chips. Opened most of the day. I love this place. Their breakfast potatoes, bacon are perfectly cooked. One of my favorite spot in Montreal.

This is one of the best diners in the province, never mind just in Montréal. The busy, noisy ambience is perfectly unpretentious & I feel the warmth of community every time I go in there. The food is always delicious & there's sure to be something on the menu for everyone. Prices have remained reasonable even with inflation out of control, & the staff can be counted on for quick, friendly service.

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.
