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.
Poutine jarry (smokemeat) nous y allons depuis 35 ans & vendredi soir passer pour souper le service incroyable j'avoue comme toujours :) mais 17$ pour la poutine presque pas de sauce & le plat est de la moitié qu'elle était auparavant nous étions 3 clients un peu dèçus :(

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 !
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.
What can I say... My expectations weren't very high... But wow! Best smoke meat I've ever eaten! Hands down! I'm 5 min away from Smoke Meat Pete's & I'd drive the hour to eat at Jarry. It's that good. Side note, my kids took the poutine that is served with shredded mozzarella (no curds here) & that Poutine was on point! Last point, the manager was super nice but our waitress seemed "bothered" by us (2 adults, 4 kids).
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.
Pas ma 1re visite à ce restaurant & pour la qualité de smoke meat c'est vraiment un des très bons à Montréal. Je vous recommande personnellement la poutine gratiné, peut-être une question de goût, mais j'ai amené ma soeur pour sa 1re fois & elle a aussi triper sur cette poutine originale .mai 2023- Retour une 4e fois & tjrs aussi satisfait.
Smoked meat was very good, service is rude & long, seemed like the waitress was annoyed that she had to earn a living. My main beef is the misrepresentation of the poutine. I brought my family from Chicago for Smoke meat & poutine, the poutine isn't served with cheese curd but with mozzarella. They DO NOT TELL YOU THIS UP FRONT BUT STILL CHARGE YOU TOP PRICES. When I asked the waitress why they serve poutine with mozzarella instead of the way more expensive cheese curd. She rudely answers in French "ca cest NOTRE POUTINE " This is our version. If that's the case you should say this in the menu & don't charge huge cheese curd prices. Very disappointed
I've heard about this place a couple of time & I was disappointed. The poutine wasn't a real poutine, wrong cheese ! Instead of cheese curds they used Mozzarella ! & the smoked meat was normal. Nothing special about it. & The portion is quite small .
