Had a great Lunch with my brother & good friend. We we're greeted at the door immediately, with a smile. Waitress came to our table pretty quickly. Once the food cam the silence also began as we ate without talking to each other until we were done... Excellent smoked meat of course. Can't wait to get back & try some other items on the menu.
We were 3 , one had a onion soups with too many croutons & not enough onions . One had pizza , got it & then 25 minutes later the both of us received our food. I have smoked Big meat sandwich plate & a smoked meat plate.
I can not understand how a deli can have frozen French fries . Garbage fries, 1/4 pickles is not enough. Not my favorite coleslaw either, too liquidity . I took the bigger size of smoked meat but it was not big at all. I would be afraid to see what the regular size is. The smoked meat was average in taste. I will not be back & I believe it is overrated. Same your money, we had 35 minutes for lunch & it took over 50 minutes .

Was able to order a Whole Cheesecake for a Birthday party (24 hour pre-order).
Not to mention Jarry is a Go-To spot when we crave a good smokemeat sandwich.
One of the best I & My guests ever had.
Creamy & Silky YUMMY 🤤.
Loaded with Whole Strawberries.
We could have fed 20 people with the size of the cake.
staff is always friendly.
Thank you to the Staff especially the person who makes the Cheesecake.
Wet soft & highly processed smoked meat. Frozen fries with no soul. It had so much potential to be a good place for smoked meat, but failed on all levels.
Fast friendly service. The smoked meat was delicious & tender. If I was being really picky I would say that the portion of the Géant was not really enough or that much more than regular size
Smoked meat had a lot of fat even though I ordered it extra lean. I had to send back the fries because they were over cooked & very dry. I was surprised because when I went there in the past it was usually quite good.
Honestly over hyped in terms of the smoked meat sandwich, felt the meat had no seasoning & the portion was small for the price. Had better smoked meat in MTL. But place looks nice & menu has other things. Fries were great just needed salt!

The restaurant offers a delightful experience with its delicious smoked meat options, including a generous wrap & sandwich served alongside ample fries & coleslaw. The smoked meat pizza was also a hit, adding to the variety of tasty choices. With reasonable prices, this place is a great find, & we can't wait to return for more!
The smoked meat melts in your mouth , I would say the poutine is not authentic ... Coated fries with shredded cheese ,not cheese curds ... But I come for the smoked meat so 5 stars from me.
I ordered a ground beef spaghetti for 25$ that tasted like a Catelli sauce from the can they heated up . Also a smoke meat sandwich that costed 20$ .. the food quality went down yet the prices sky rocketed . Only good thing is the manger is friendly . I'm wondering if the reviews that the food in this restaurant is good is a legit one . I used to come here years ago , the food isn't what it was .
TOP NOTCH ORIGINAL OLD SCHOOL !!..Since 1975 !! The place to go for late night Real deal Smoke meat ...fries, pizza & subs just as good!...Staff always friendly & polite & Smoke meat always on another level as usual!!..

We went there for a sit down meal. Everyone was satisfied with their respective plates. Smoked meat sandwich was on par & the waitress assigned to our table was clearly a well experienced staff member. She was great at what she was doing... professional, friendly & efficient.
Delicious!! My friend told me about this spot when I wanted to get a smoked meat sandwich & holy moly this hit the spot! I especially liked that my server asked me if I wanted lean, medium, or fatty cuts of meat in my sandwich. I know fat is where the flavour is, but I like lean lol they also happily accommodated my very limited French. I absolutely recommend you try this place!
Food is DELICIOUS, FRESH, DESSERT TO DIE FOR. SMOKE MEAT ON POINT. PORTIONS PERFECT, PIZZA, Onignon soup amazing. Service fast, friendly & efficient. Forgot to add the pickles are crunchy, sweet hmmm, Coleslaw feels homemade.
We ordered the daily special of Ruben's & had an order of poutine. All the food was really delicious & their coffee was excellent! The waitress was very friendly. Spoke a little English.
21$ for Special smoked meat (full plate with fries & pickles). Smoked meat was great, good price too. Staff wasn't great nor nice. Service was fast though.
Just had a smoked meat special consisting of smoked meat sandwich, fries, coleslaw & yes, a Diet Coke. My last time here was last summer & admittedly the smoked meat was delicious & as I ordered, medium! Today at noon my smoked meat was lean not medium & took 10-15 minutes to arrive, with little time for lunch today I accepted the smoked meat & began eating it, each bite was less tasty than the last one, if you like smoked meat you'll defiantly know the difference between lean & medium as far as taste goes. The fries are what they are here & I'm not a fan as I much prefer 5 Guys style for fries, that's just my preference, here today the fries were dry & tasteless. My Diet Coke was $3.50 for a can which I think personally is very very steep seeing we all know we can buy it at Costco for approx .50 a can. I do realize they're out to make a profit but.... Last, tipping like so many places the machine has a default of 15% & that 15% is on top of the tax?
