Montreal Pool Room is described as a nostalgic Montreal staple where steamies, poutine, and burgers star in a simple, flavorful lineup with gravy-rich sauces and crispy fries. The atmosphere is divey and charming, with walls proudly showing the restaurant's history, and the service is consistently fast and friendly, with prices considered fair and payment sometimes noted as cash only. Overall, reviews converge on an authentic, old-school experience that delivers comforting, satisfying fare, though a few mention occasional inconsistency.
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.
If you're in the area & need some good junk food this is where you go. They've been around since 1912 so they're doing something right. 3rd party delivery is fine too but it's much better very hot as soon as they make it so eat there if you can.
