Greenspot est perçu comme une institution montréalaise au charme rétro, offrant une cuisine réconfortante de type casse croûte avec poutines généreuses, smoked meat et burgers, et des brunchs copieux à prix raisonnables. L'ambiance nostalgique et le service rapide et sympathique font partie du charme, même si le service peut être inégal et certains plats peuvent manquer de finesse ou de fraîcheur; l'absence de réservation et le bruit parfois élevé sont aussi mentionnés. La clientèle est fidèle et l'endroit est apprécié pour son accessibilité et son côté convivial, faisant de Greenspot une expérience authentique et abordable du diner classique où l'on retrouve les classiques de Montréal.
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.
Resto retro sympa, accueillis au "bonjour-hi", hamburger calciné, & poutine correct. Un peu surestimé comme endroit, mais prix honnête. Allez-y pour la poutine, portion bien honnête.

Viande fumée, hot dogs, burgers, pizzas, sous-marins, poutines, souvlakis, menu du jour & bien plus, le Greenspot est un resto de type délicatessen des plus légendaires dans Saint-Henri. Ils servent aussi de très bons déjeuners complets à des prix décents ! L'omelette grecque est délicieuse. L'endroit est mythique, l'ambiance est décontractée & chaleureuse.
Une enseigne mythique de Montréal, en mode dinner américain qui diffuse le hockey. Petite poutine viande fumée à 14$ ttc, bonne mais sans plus, des frites qui manquent de croustillant, une seule cuisson pour sûr. Un dark gravy original qui change, mais le point fort est clairement le fromage qui couine comme pas possible, il y en a juste pas assez. Juste pour l'ambiance je vous recommande l'endroit mais ne vous attendez pas à manger la meilleure nourriture de Mtl (la meilleure poutine est Chez Claudette).
Bonne portion pour le prix, service rapide même quand c'est plein. Poutine average, hot dog très bon & cheeseburger average aussi. Good for a quick bite.
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 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
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.
