Le Roi Du Smoked Meat is described across reviews as a classic Montreal deli with legendary smoked meat, generous portions and a warm retro diner vibe with red booths; the meat is repeatedly praised for flavor and tenderness, sides like pickles and fries are dependable, and service is often friendly and efficient, creating a nostalgic comfort that keeps guests coming back, though some comments mention high prices for what is offered, occasional long waits or a space that can feel chilly, and a few notes about menu changes or inconsistent dessert and poutine options.
L'assiette de smoked meat avec les frites & la salade de chou est délicieuse & le service est rapide. Notre serveuse Suzanne fut formidable. Les desserts sont délicieux. Mon partenaire a adoré le gâteau forêt-noire.

Ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas été à Montréal, j'en ai profité pour aller au Roi du Smoked meat, toujours aussi beau, j'avais 14 ans la première fois que j'y suis allé, & j'y suis retourné souvent pendant les 50 années que j'ai demeuré à Mtl, & j'y retourne à chaque à occasion où je peux me le permettre
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.

Quoi dire ? J'en veux encore comment venir à Montréal & ne pas déguster un smoke meat ici ? Les tables d'hôtes sont extrêmement bonnes. Mon plat préféré est le poulet parmagian avec le spaghetti en duo & leur soupe maison & leur patates frites & le spécial viande fumée trio est un must dans mon émission.
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.
