Jarry Smoked Meat is described in these reviews as a Montreal staple with a welcoming, family-friendly, old-fashioned deli vibe, where the smoked meat is praised for its flavor and tenderness, portions are generous, and the menu offers a range of hearty options including poutine, sandwiches and a standout cheesecake.

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 👎
Voici un vrai restaurant de smoked Meat car il demande comment vous le voulez & il est excellent. Nous avons aussi pris une pizza avec smoked meatelle est excellent, croûte croustillante & pas sèche seul petit bémol on ne peut pas changer un légume pour un autre sans frais. Service très bien & attentionné. Je le recommande fortement.
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.

Super de belle place pour un bon souper & super bon service très très bien je vais y retourner l assiette de crevettes super bonne je recommande vivement
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!
Had smoked meat, fish & chips, & the club sandwich. The smoked meat was amazing, & the fish & chips were as well. Recommended for any smoked meat enthusiasts.

As an American unfamiliar with smoked meats, I decided to try Jarry Smoked Meats in Montreal, & it was a fantastic experience. The smoked meat sandwich, reminiscent of a really good corned beef sandwich, was incredibly flavorful & satisfying. The service was warm & homely, giving off a classic diner vibe that made us feel right at home.One delightful surprise was that they also serve beer, which perfectly complemented the meal. Jarry Smoked Meats is a place I highly recommend, especially to fellow Americans looking to try something new & delicious in Montreal.
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.
