The signature menu focuses on steamies featuring hot dogs topped with finely chopped cabbage, mustard, and onions.

I tried this place for the first time upon being recommended by a friend who greq up in Montreal, to try their Steamie hotdog, & boy did I love it. A place in the heart of the city, yet maintaining its originality since this place is over a 100 years old. One must try their all dressed Steamie, for you'll definitely love it.

Poutine - really good. perfect on the curds & gravy (has a bit of kick which I liked) but fries are bigger than what I would like. Much better than what I've had so def recommend.
Steamies were disappointing - dogs were small & toppings lacked flavour.
Lacks atmosphere - very bland & not clean. Quick in & out.

This charming old restaurant has kept the nostalgic vibe of the past. The hot dogs were tasty & the fries were delicious. If you're looking for a place to enjoy hot dogs with that classic, old-school flavor, this spot is highly recommended!

Pour vrai y'a pas mieux comme endroit & c'est certainement le meilleur hot dog que j'ai jamais mangé. Les gars étaient super cool & nous ont même proposé une photo avec la ceinture. On a adoré. Sans parler des prix imbattable de nos jours. 12,50$ pour 2 hot dogs frite & boisson !!! Merci à notre ami qui nous disais qu'il fais ca depuis 20 & 30 ans. C'est incroyable de voir a quel point on peut garder le sourire. Je recommande à tout le monde. J'ai fais 10h de route pour manger à cet endroit & je ne regrette aucunement

La meilleure poutine! Un monument montréalais qui a fait ses preuves. La salle à manger est petite, mais l'ambiance kitsch & vintage est superbe! Je ne peut que recommander.
