One of the more well-known smoked meat spots in town. The smoked meat was pretty good - tasty & satisfying - & the fries were decent too. Overall, the food hit the spot. That said, the service wasn't great when we went. It felt like we didn't get much attention, which was a bit disappointing.

Still, it's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're visiting & want to try a local favorite. Everyone has different tastes, & while I personally think there are a few places with better flavor, this place has its own charm. Give it a shot & see what you think!View more

4.4 / 5 is a great score. Takeout Uber - arrived in 20 mins on a Wednesday lunch to my hotel.

Fries were handmade & delicious (but soggy as a wet dog by delivery). No ketchup, mayo or any condiments included.

Smoked meat was large & delicious! Extra mustard requested & added. Would eat this 10x in a row. Got the Swiss cheese. Doesn't make a huge difference. The meat is the star. Only thing I'd change - I think it's medium hand cut & I prefer shaved. But, this was so good I might switch.

Hot dog (glitzy). I think it was $6 so I had high hopes for low cost. It was okay. Tasty but smushed. Would skip on delivery maybe try in person.

I'd order again.View more

Food was delicious & the pickle 🥒 was crunchy & tasty. Loved the authentic feel of this Old school & very MTL deli. They had a bunch of quartered pickles & coleslaw portions on the counter just sitting there on a very hot day, not covered.( The restaurant was empty) That was a bit of a red flag for me but that's how they've been doing it for a long time so I guess it's fine right?. The smoked meat sandwich was great but still ranks 2nd Best behind Schwartz's Deli. It didn't feel like home made smoked meat but more like prefabricated meat from the package. I would not be back solely for this reason but it was still delicious & I ate it all.View more

The staff were so helpful here when we didn't know what to order for our picnic. Very kind people work here. & the food was good, but after eating at Katz's in NYC, it's hard to order smoked meats anywhere else. But it was tasty. Loved the old timey vibe here. Would return for a bite at a table outside for great people watching.View more

This place is fantastic. Never have I felt so welcome at a restaurant in Montreal. Normally service is rude & coarse but here, they were all super friendly & said welcome/hello.

I got the smoked meat sandwich, tasted super tasty & they are very generous with the serving. I've always gone to the tourist trap smoked meat spots. The other ones are always too salty, & not friendly. This place will be my new go to whenever I am in town.View more
