Review Summary

Le Roi Du Smoked Meat is described as a classic retro Montreal deli on St. Hubert, prized for its legendary smoked meat which many reviewers say is tender, flavorful, and served on fresh rye with generous portions. The place feels like a warm, family oriented diner with friendly service, though some notes mention cramped booths, decor in need of refresh, and occasional concerns about cleanliness. Reviews are a mix on value and portions, with the meat widely lauded but some diners finding sides or prices less satisfying and a few meals not hitting the mark. The menu has expanded beyond the traditional sandwich to include items like poutine, clubs, and even smoked meat pizza, yielding a range of experiences from excellent to mediocre. A few readers report inconsistent service or changes in the menu that affected their expectations, yet the overall impression remains that this is a nostalgic Montreal staple with a strong smoke meat identity. Many describe the atmosphere as charmingly old school, making it a go-to for lovers of classic Montreal deli flavors despite some ups and downs.

Dans un style rétro, menu très varié, smoked meat, poutine , club sandwich, brochettes & autres. Pas besoin de faire la file comme dans un autres restaurant bien connu pour manger un smoked meat. Le service est correct, musique pas trop forte, on peu parlé sans crier.

The kitchen looked spotless. They have a large menu selection & we tried the burgers & submarines. The burger was very disappointing, it was clearly one of those frozen Angus patties because the meat was clearly not mixed, I could see the strands of minced meat. The submarines were good but everyone got heartburn after. The poutine is ok. Seats are very close together & benches are tight. The dining area looks drab & dirty. Walls are peeling, fruit flies everywhere. We even saw a bug that looked like a bed bug coming from the bench. I think this place should be visited for smoked meat mostly & for take out. Staff is super nice & helpful. Not a handicap friendly place. Long set of stairs to get to the bathrooms.

Our young server that spoke English with glasses (I'm sorry I don't remember your name dear) was kind, courteous, & amazing! The smoked meat was great & not to be missed! The negative is that the place is dated & they need to do some freshening up. That being said, it's clean & not a reason not to go for the food or the smoked meats, actually. The fries that came with the foods were standard fries frozen from a bag, so it did not make the poutine very impressive.

Ordered smoked meat & a poutine, service was good & prompt. Smoked meat was very good but the poutine was average at best. Eatable but not the freshest. Pretty sure fries are frozen & cheese was not same day fresh. Overall value was good.

We've been going here for at least a decade for their smoked meat. I really like their sandwiches but absolutely love their smoke meat poutine. Their cheese cakes are also delicious!

I was out with my mother & nieces. My nieces were hungry, so we went to Le Roi du Smoked Meet at St. Hubert to eat. We ordered 2 smoked meat sandwhich, & 2 small poutines with 4 cans drink. The waitress service was okay, what I did not like was the white haired lady at the cash who takes the payment, my mother left a tip, the lady was mad, even went as far as to say, "they are so fucking cheap." In today's economy we can give so much with jobs hanging on the line we need to watch every penny. I enjoy Le Roi du Smoked Meat have been going there for years, however, because of the furniture they have there working Le Roi just lost a customer.

Worst poutine in Montreal! We ordered two poutines for delivery, one smoked meat poutine, & a regular poutine, with some pickles on the side = $38.35!!! Delivery took over an hour & half... for that price we expected something amazing! What we got was overwhelming disappointment with undercooked, small portions, barely any smoked meat... even the pickles were weak!

*** DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE ***

I've been ordering from this restaurant for over 2 years, & over night their menu prices increased by $2.00 on all their major foods!!

How can one justify an over night increase of such prices!!!!

A large regular poutine was $8.95 & now its $10.95.

Its a poutine!!! Fries, cheese, & sause!! How can one justify this price!!!

Like I said, this happened on ALL their major foods...you are being taken STRAIGHT to the BANK!!!

I noticed this in June 2013!!!

A $2.00 increase on almost EVERYTHING....they are taking you to the cleaners, & LAUGHING at you!!
