Meilleur hot-dog en ville (all-dressed) & la poutine ne donne pas sa place non plus! Si vous êtes un touriste, je vous recommande cet endroit historique 💯

J'ai commandé 2 hot dog & 1 poutine avec un breuvage malheureusement les frites dans la poutine n'étaient pas cuite & 1 de mes hot dog la saucisse pas assez cuite le tout pour 22 dollars a part le pourboire 3 dollars. Des restaurant de fast food il y en a beaucoup à montreal & pour moi montreal pool room n'en fait plus partie

I go to a lot of places, & write a lot of reviews, & I rarely give a bad review.

However, the Montreal Pool Room is going to get a bad review from me today July 18, 2026.

First of all the place is filthy. It really doesn't need to be that dirty. I know there are a lot of reasons for the uncleanliness, but other places in the neighborhood are clean so you can put a little effort into it.

The bathroom was truly revolting. With the men's washroom out of order everyone was going in the women's washroom & it was absolutely disgusting.

I'm uncertain if they were having an off day or if the quality of the food is always this way now, but the hot dogs were mediocre & the poutine was small & dry.

One thing that really bothers me when I eat in a restaurant is uneven portion size. When everyone orders the same thing the portions should be relatively the same size. When I am looking forward to eating a poutine (something I do not do very often) do not give me a super small portion when the person sitting next to me gets a very large portion. It is just not right.

Why was the guy taking the orders always on his phone? There is the time & place for scrolling your social media. Taking orders & serving people is not the time.

This was a Saturday night during the Just for Laughs festival, & the street was packed with people. So a red flag was that this place was almost empty.

Montreal Pool Room you really can do better.
You used to....

Poutine aux saucisses hot Dogs,sauce brune, bien bonne mais sans plus. Le service est rapide malgré l'achalandage, only cash malheureusement, on y va pour la renommée , l'historique,ouvert depuis 1921. Ce n'est plus comme a l'ancienne adresse avec des grosse frites maison mais reste un incontournable à visiter de la restauration de MTL. 3.6⭐

If you're worried about a poutine with skimpy cheese, don't be! It was loaded with curds & quite delicious.

Un immense merci à toute l'équipe du Pool Room à Montréal pour votre incroyable gentillesse & votre accueil chaleureux. Non seulement la nourriture est excellente, mais toute l'équipe a pris le temps de me faire sentir le bienvenu, allant même jusqu'à me préparer un repas spécial, un geste que j'ai énormément apprécié.

& la poutine? Tout simplement exceptionnelle. Si vous cherchez une véritable institution montréalaise où l'on mange très bien & où l'on rencontre des gens authentiquement formidables, cet endroit est un véritable trésor.

Merci infiniment pour votre générosité & votre chaleur humaine. Je ne l'oublierai jamais.
