Montreal Pool Room is described as a legendary, old-school Montreal institution with a divey but charming vibe where simple staples like steamed hot dogs, poutine, and fries are served quickly and at great value. The core appeal centers on the steamed buns and dogs, rich gravy and onions in the poutine, and classic toppings, with many calling the hot dogs among the best in town and the poutine consistently tasty, though opinions on fries and authenticity vary. The venue is cash only, sometimes with an ATM inside, which fits its no-frills character, and the place is often praised as a must-visit, especially after a night out, backed by fast friendly service and a nostalgic atmosphere. While some notes about cleanliness or ambiance exist, the overall sentiment is a dependable, nostalgic stop that delivers traditional Montreal comfort food at affordable prices.
One of the best traditional fast food restaurants in Quebec... always great food & service!
The steamies, french fries, burgers, putine, are simply delicious! Close to Montreal's Festival Place...(Quartier Des Spectacles)....Place Des Arts.
A Legendary & iconic locale since 1959.
No pool tables, but damn good hot dogs!
Cash only - they'll take U.S. dollars at a 1:1 exchange rate, so you're better off paying in Canadian.
The menu is simple & classic: choose between cucumber relish, mustard, or sauerkraut. Ketchup? It's self-serve on the counter once you get your order.
But the real surprise? The buns - soft, chewy, & perfectly steamed - they might be even better than the dogs themselves. A no-frills gem that delivers exactly what it promises.
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
Seul défaut qui n'en ai pas un quand on s'informe mais le payement ce fait en liquide
Sinon rien à dire c'est le classique & délicieux hot dog aussi bon que simple ici
A Montreal classic.
Love the steamed hot dogs! Fries were crispy.
Amazing for some drunken food. Excellent service.
This place has been around for years!
Nice to see all the old pictures on the wall.
Great fast service.
Prices were unbeatable.
Food was so dam good.
Full load dogs are delish & the poutine is killer good.
Place was clean & staff was friendly.
Neighborhood was a bit gritty but made for a better wander to the place.
