About

Jarry Smoked Meat specializes in the traditional preparation of high-quality beef brisket, cured and smoked using time-honored techniques. The menu centers on thick-cut, flavor-dense sandwiches served on rye bread with classic yellow mustard and crisp pickles. Patrons encounter a straightforward deli environment focused entirely on these signature meat-forward creations rather than unnecessary garnishes. Beyond the hallmark brisket, the selection includes hearty, thick-patty burgers and diverse sandwich combinations that satisfy substantial appetites. Every dish prioritizes the integrity of the seasoned meat, reflecting a commitment to authentic deli traditions found across the region. This establishment maintains a functional atmosphere where the quality of the smoked proteins remains the primary focal point for all visitors seeking substantial, protein-heavy meals in an efficient, no-frills setting that emphasizes consistent flavor profiles above all else.

Review Summary

Jarry Smoked Meat is widely regarded by many as a classic Montreal institution, praised for its juicy, tender smoked meat and nostalgic diner atmosphere that has remained consistent for decades. While many patrons frequently highlight the excellent, friendly service and generous portions as reasons for their long-term loyalty, experiences can be polarized; some diners express disappointment regarding the quality of the frozen fries, the texture of certain meat orders, or occasional lapses in service staff attentiveness. Despite mixed opinions on sides like pickles and poutine, the restaurant remains a go-to destination for those seeking a traditional, no-frills meal, with many highlighting the homemade cheesecake as a must-try highlight of their visit.

Jarry Smoked Meat vs Schwartz
Meat: Jarry's was much more juicy & tender than Schwartz, but the portion was smaller.
Fries: Jarry's fries are the terrible frozen kind that are almost powdery, reminiscent of the texture of a frozen steak fry.. at least invest in the Cavendish coated ones? Schwartz offered freshly in house fried potato fries but are we really there for fries anyway?

I had gotten a poutine with those same fries & it came lightly dusted with shredded cheese….. squeaky cheese please for the love of Quebec!

Price: Comparable, around the same price range.

Overall, I would probably pick Jarry's for taste & juiciness of the meat but the sides are mediocre!

The smoked meat sandwich was not bad, but the poutine was horrible. Was worth trying, but to be honest I won't go back.

One of the best Viande Fumé & Poutine places in Montréal. Amazing food & service! Great staff who are bi-lingual (to all my fellow Torontonians).

Tout d'abord je dois préciser que le service était numéro 1! Par contre, pour la nourriture, mes attentes étaient relativement élevés mais grosse déception.

Tout d'abord, le smoked meat était tranché beaucoup trop épais, le pain trop petit pour la viande qui elle était relativement trop cuite.

Puis la poutine… que dire… les frites & la sauce étaient bonnes mais du fromage rapée dans une poutine c'est tout simplement inadmissible. Je ne servirais pas une poutine avec du fromage rapée même à mon pire ennemi.

Je ne reviendrai pas.

Jarry Smoked Meat est une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de smoked meat & de poutine. Leur poutine au smoked meat offre un parfait mélange de textures & de saveurs, des frites croustillantes, une sauce goûteuse, du fromage en grains frais & une portion généreuse de smoked meat. Pour les amateurs de desserts, leur gâteau au fromage est un vrai délice, riche & crémeux, avec une texture fondante. Un excellent endroit pour un repas réconfortant & copieux !
