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 visitors as a staple of the Montreal food scene, frequently praised for its tender, juicy smoked meat and welcoming, family-friendly diner atmosphere. Long-time patrons and newcomers alike often highlight the consistently high quality of the signature sandwiches, the generous portion sizes, and the exceptional strawberry cheesecake as reasons for their return. While the vast majority of experiences emphasize friendly, efficient service and great value, a small number of reviews express disappointment regarding specific side dishes like frozen fries or occasional inconsistencies in meat quality and staffing interactions. Despite these mixed remarks, the establishment maintains a loyal following, with many customers appreciating the traditional, authentic experience that has remained a local favorite for decades.

First time in Montreal & I'm so glad I stopped at Jarry Smoked Meat.

The staff were absolutely amazing & made me feel welcome right away. Since I had never been there before, I asked them to bring me whatever they considered their signature meal for a first-time visitor. They suggested the smoked meat sandwich with fries, coleslaw, & a pickle-& wow, what a great choice.

The smoked meat was incredibly tender, juicy, & full of flavour. One of the best sandwiches I've had. Everything on the plate was fresh & delicious.

For dessert, I asked my waitress what her favourite was, & she recommended the strawberry cheesecake. It was fantastic. I was already pretty full, but it was too good not to keep going. I couldn't quite finish it, but I gave it my best effort!

Great food, outstanding service, & some of the friendliest staff you'll meet. Experiences like this are what make travelling memorable.

I'll definitely be back if I find myself in Montreal again.
Highly recommended!

I love smoked meat. After seeing numerous social media posts I decided to try them out. The smoked meat was on par with a sealed-in-a-pouch deli meat that you buy at the grocery store. Asked for medium fat, received a somewhat rubbery sandwich that was nothing to write home about.

I recommend Snowdon Deli, Dunns or Lester's. This place has no right using the term smoked meat.

Le smoked meat est bon par contre les frites sont pas cuites dans l'huile c'est genre McCain réchauffés & le cornichon était pas bon non plus...une assiette normale plus assiette smoked meat géant pour $70 avec pourboire l'assiette vaut pas le prix, il y a de bien meilleure place pour un smoked meat....personnellement je recommande pas cet endroit 👎

I remember when this place had good food in the 90's. I haven't eaten here in about 20+ years & last time I was there, the food was acceptable… not mind blowing, but ok.

Now the sandwiches are filled with scrap pieces of smoked meat. Super fatty pieces when I had ordered medium. Ordered three sandwiches & all were the same crappy quality. This has happended on a few occasions. I got the impression that they do this to take-away orders because they figure that the person won't drive back to complain as they would if they were eating indoors at the restaurant. Honestly, you're better off driving to George's (Laval), Schwartz (St. Laurent), Snowdon Deli (Decarie) or Lesters (Outremont) as any of those four restaurants have maintained top quality meats throughout the years.

I ordered a piece of their famous cheese cake but it wasn't as good as people claim it to be. Not bad, no, but nothing that would make me recommend it to others.

Everytime I visit Montreal, I like coming here to get my Smoke. There is no Montreal without Smoke meat from this place. Can't wait coming back again. I recommend this place.
