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.
Imagine that dinner in Seinfeld, but then make it Canadian & it's menu has practically anything you could want at all hours of the day. Prices are usually $ I got a shepherds pie poutine last time because it's strange-ness was calling me- was delicious. Wouldn't be off for me to order it again. If you're just walking by & hungry, get 1-2'steamés'.. these are boiled hotdogs in steamed buns.. usually served with mustard & onions, don't take my description wrong- they are good. & no one will be mad if you switch it to ketchup/relish, just tell them i sent you
Cute place with lots of memorabilia & old timey booths. The staff doesn't smile much, Not a fan of the dark gravy sauce on the poutine & the fries weren't as crispy as I'd like them. Cheap & decent hotdogs.
I went to Greenspot & ordered food; the server was great, but a few moments later, another server came & told me I couldn't have my coffee from Tim Hortons because of branding issues. I understand, but it's not like I'm showing it to everyone. She proceeded to talk to other workers, gossiping & bringing a cup to pour my drink, which seemed unnecessary for just one cup that wasn't bothering anyone. The food & server were amazing, but the other lady should have been more respectful & less rude about it. Also, it's not a store policy. Additionally, I received the wrong receipt, & they were overcharging me by $10. It's like they did because of the drink I brought.

I like the food here, however I visited this place on the 21st of April & was sick with food poisoning after eating their food. I ordered a mino-taur poutine & a maximus burger. From looking at other comments, it seems that people get sick from eating the bacon/ground beef. Please review your food safety & handling policies. Thanks, Chad
Came here for breakfast. It was relatively early on a Sunday so there was plenty of free street parking & also no lineup to get a table. Service was great & the waitress was very quick & attentive. The food is priced very competitively & tasted descent. The kids menu pancake was somewhat thick to our taste. The decor is like a classic diner & I think they should keep it this way. All in all, great experience & one of the hidden gems in Montreal.

BEST DINER ON EARTH. Their smoked meat spaghetti is one of my favourite comfort foods. I went there every week when I lived in montreal. One of the best places in the world. So special. May it live forever!
I love the look of this place, a classic diner with old jukeboxes & booths. Limited gluten-free options but the server bent over backwards to find me options. Ended up with a cheeseburger lettuce wrap & fries which were both delicious! My friends had poutines & they both loved it too. I recommend stopping in when you are in Montreal.
