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.
If you want some good smoked meat then search no more. The place is an icon in Montreal. The decor needs a little love but the prices are reasonable, the service is fast & courteous & the smoked meat is very good!

Accueille rapide, nourriture qui répond au attente, bémols sur les serveuse qui se communique des informations de travail plus fort que le bruit de la salle,dans l'ensemble un restaurant pour les gens qui on faim ( bonne grosseur d'assiette) mais tu ne vas pas la pour une première date .
Amazing smoked meat & Montreal submarine (steak & pepperoni). Another hidden gem that mostly locals know about if you want casual diner atmosphere coupled with great meal.
Meilleurs sandwich de viande fumée, bonne ambiance & ils ne servent pas la viande de la veille, c'est toujours la même qualité & le même bon goût . Ça fait plus de 30 ans que je vais dans ce restaurant.
Old fashioned; just the way I remember from back in the day!
The food, OMG; THIS IS SMOKED MEAT 🍖 AT IT'S
The staff & management, nice & down to earth!
Also the food cost $ is very good compared to others!
Always a hit, we had the smoked meat (medium) & the Reuben, it was incredible & obviously had to have there home made strawberry cheesecake which is the best 👌 also the coconut pie great.
