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.

This is Montréal smoke meat at its best. Wonderful service, a great sandwich, fries & a pickle. What more could anybody want?

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.

Ce restaurant est celui ou ma mere m'amenait après son magasinage sur la plaza saint Hubert. C'était le debut des années 70. Ils ont gardé le meme decor. C'est tres propre. Le sandwich a la viande fumée est encore tres bon. Le service rapide & efficace.

It was a good place to get authentic Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches. Portions were large enough to fill you & it was all reasonably priced. A smoked meat sandwich with fries & a drink costed us $22 each.

There was a street festival going on which gave us a more better experience.

I wanted to try out the smoke's meat sandwich in Montreal but tell the truth. The food itself is small portion & I paid two sandwiches including tax. It came to $35. I can get a full meal for $15 & I will be full just because it's a smoked meat sandwich doesn't mean that their potions should be disproportionate. Does service & the customer service is on point but the food itself truly was not hitting the mark. I'd rather go somewhere else where I can get my money go further.

Je n'étais pas revenu à Montréal depuis 1995... & il fallait que je revienne dans cet établissement pour déguster mon sandwich préféré de Montréal.
Un vrai retour dans le passé ! Tables,chaises, déco des années 1980 .. j'adore. Bon repas & bon rapport qualité prix.

Smoked meat sandwich was delicious

Le Roi du Smoked Meat on a friend's recommendation, & overall, it was a mixed experience. The location is great - right on a busy corner & close to the metro, making it super convenient to get to. The diner-style interior is clean, well-lit, & welcoming, with friendly & attentive staff who made us feel comfortable right away.

I ordered the smoked meat platter, & the meat itself was excellent. The texture was spot on, the seasoning was well-balanced, & the flavor was exactly what you'd hope for in a Montreal smoked meat experience. However, the portion & pricing left a lot to be desired.

The platter included about the same amount of meat as a large sandwich, a modest serving of fries (maybe one potato's worth), a small portion of shredded green cabbage as coleslaw, a single slice of pickle (not a whole one), & a few slices of bread. While everything tasted great, it didn't feel like a $30 meal after tax & tip.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a common issue with smoked meat spots in Montreal - delicious food but pricing that feels out of sync with what you actually get. If you're craving top-quality smoked meat & don't mind the splurge, this place delivers on flavor. But if value for money is a priority, you might walk away feeling a bit shortchanged.

Ce n'est plus comme c'était il y a plusieurs années. Ça fait deux fois que je demande un spaghetti du Roi avec beaucoup de sauce & je me ramasse avec une assiette de spaghetti blanc assez pour nourrir une famille. & la dernière fois que j'ai pris un sandwich médium, un coup que j'ai enlevé les tranches de gras, il en restait la moitié. Trois fois déçue, c'est sûr que j'irai ailleurs, je pars de Montréal-Nord pour aller là, ce n'ai pourtant pas les'déli' qui manquent à Montréal. Sans parlé du gâteau au fromage qui est loin d'être co.me sur la photo du menu.

Le Roi du Smoked Meat always offers excellent hot & tender smoked meat on fresh rye bread.
I had the trio with fries. ,coleslaw, 1/4 pickle & a soft drink for only 15.95. This is a special for weekday lunches from 11am until 3pm. (please confirm with the restaurant). They also make excellent club sandwiches. Service is always 5 star. Opened late.

Le Roi du Smoked Meat is my comfort food goto whenever I'm in the neighborhood. The best smoked meat of anywhere in Montreal. Their Special Smoked Meat Sandwich come with the best fresh cut fries & the very best coleslaw of anywhere. The food is plain, simple, ample, & absolutely delicious. The portions are generous. The prices are reasonable. The service is fast & friendly. It ain't no fancy place, but in my opinion, it's the best smoked meat place in town. Located on Montreal's famous St. Huberts street, yes where St Hubert's chicken got its start, the street is famous for its food, fashion, & lounges. That's where you will find one of the oldest & greatest Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich of anywhere in Montreal. Ready for this - I rate Le Roi du Smoke Meat 6 out of 5 mustaches for its perfection & longevity. Long live the KING (ROI)!

The smoked meat sandwiches were scrumptious. To my taste, the fries were not crispy enough. Service wise it took a while for us to get served (a good 15-20 minutes wait). The atmosphere was okay, the place is a bit echo so it can be difficult for someone sensitive of earring.

Visited 11 months ago & the food was so amazing had to come back the next time I visited Montreal. The diner had a very classic feel & look & the smoked meat sandwich was absolutely fantastic. The meat was so amazing had to bring 2 pounds of it home.
