Reviews paint Pinnacle Wagyu as a top pick in Old Montreal for Wagyu sandwiches and fries, with standout items including the Pinnacle cheesesteak, the steak and fries, and animal style fries, all praised for juicy, well cooked meat and flavorful sauces, especially the truffle fries. The atmosphere is described as cozy and nostalgic with a friendly, attentive staff, and the location’s old port setting and occasional outdoor seating are highlighted, along with value and generosity of portions, though some diners feel the price is high or that fries or burgers can be inconsistent, with a few reports of undercooked fries, soggy buns, or limited restrooms, and occasional hours or service hiccups. Overall, Pinnacle Wagyu is seen as delivering delicious meat, tasty sauces, and a satisfying deli style experience that keeps people returning.
Me & a buddy had this place on our list for quite some time. But wow, SUPER disappointed. Both of us found it VERY hard to believe this is wagyu meat. Had the Philly cheesteak, & the meat was not tender..... at..... all. Chewy, & tasted like an overcooked bavette. Aioli sauce not as flavorful as hoped, & a pinch of salt would have helped. For the price, I agree with others, tourist trap. The lemonade was ok though. For an amazing sandwich at a third the price, go to Kahwa Cafe or Lori Doner.
Amazing!!! I had wagyu steak frites, in which was the perfect combination of meat, fries, truffle & Parmesan. There was a generous amount of truffle on the fries & I could find chunks of it. 100% worth! Just try it out! (Sorry, it was too good & I did not have the opportunity to take a picture 😅)
Vraiment pas bon avec un boeuf tellement difficile à mâcher que je l,ai laisser sans le consommer…éviter cet endroit,,,la,sandwich m,a coutée 25$…..vive McDo
unfortunately overhyped.
i was super excited to come try this place, but unfortunately paid 90+ for barely seasoned steak. there's very little seating place, a long waiting line & no washroom available. (i'd give 3 1/2 star overall)
i'd recommend the other dishes, you can get better steak fries in montreal.

This place is great! I've had the Cheesesteak & the Animal Style fries, & haven't been disappointed. Plus, the ambiance & vibe is right up my alley. Don't forget to order the house lemonade, it will hit the spot with your meal 😁
Steak frite & salade de chou..tres bon j aurais mis 5 etoiles si la salade de choux aurait été plus puncher..elle ne goutait rien..faudrait la vinaigrer,la dijonner ou la srirachaser car elle etait fade💪
We kept hearing some variation of'the best Wagyu deli in Montreal,' which immediately raised an important question: are there actually enough, or any, Wagyu delis in Montreal to make this a competitive category? (If so, genuinely, can the aforementioned influencers please enlighten me? I'm interested.)
Anyway, setting aside the dramatic clickbait titles & glowing slow-motion steak videos, we skipped the famous Wagyu-&-fries situation (Steak Frites'On the Road'). Partly because I don't particularly like fries 🤷?♂? & partly because I wanted a sandwich.
Also, I'm not sure if it's there as a joke or for price anchoring, but the idea of a $150 Kobe steak option being on the menu of a mostly takeout sandwich counter raises many philosophical questions...
Instead, we went with the Pinnacle Cheesesteak, which was apparently one of their most recommended items. First, if cheese was present, it was very subtle-we didn't taste it at all. What absolutely did show up was the steak. A lot of it. I definitely got my 20$ worth on that. You mostly taste beef, a vaguely savory sauce, & admittedly solid bread holding everything together pretty well. (Bread is important.)
For what it is, it's alright. It's well located for tourists & locals roaming around the historic area, the portions are good enough, & the pricing feels pretty aligned with other trendy sandwich spots in the city. No major complaints there.
But does it live up to the hype? No, not even close. I think that says more about the marketing style than the food itself, though.
seen this place on tiktok & wanted to try, it looks appealing so i went there with my boyfriend. The whole place smelled disgusting like greasy parmasean so i felt sceptical. My gut instinct was right, when i tried the steak it was CHEWY.. too chewy & it just taste bad, extremely over hyped. the only good this was the sauce.. not even the fries or the steak that i've been wanting to try.. very disappointed, save your money & don't be like me & waste your money.
