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.

Please just try the Pinnacle Cheesesteak, thank you. (Wagyu steaks on fries is also good, but that damn sandwich is just amazing! Will come back to try other sandwiches...)

The wagyu in their cheesesteak was succulent & so tender. The animal style fries was loaded with flavour. Amazing elevated deli in the middle of old Montreal
I had a really great experience at Pinnacle Wagyu. You can tell they take a lot of pride in the quality of their food, & the beef really stands out. My personal favorites are the steak & fries & the Pinnacle cheesesteak. The steak was cooked perfectly & full of flavor, & the fries were crispy & delicious. The cheesesteak was also super juicy & packed with flavor.
I'll start off by saying damn that steak was delicious much better then the steak I had at a neighboring steakhouse which was over twice the price.
The reason I did not give 5 starts is because the burger was honestly really bad. I got a single patty burger because based on the picture the patty was a bit chunky & 1 seemed like enough. However, it was very thin but the meat itself tasted very good. The reason the burger was bad is because the bun was so big that I couldn't taste the meat. I ended up removing the patty to eat it on its own. The other toppings weren't anything special also. I give the burger 2/5.
I'll try the cheesesteak next time.
Please change the picture of the burger to reflect the actual product, change the bun so it doesn't mask the amazing taste of the meat. The meat is really good you should let it shine.
First time customer & definitely not the last time! We ordered the Cheesesteak sandwich with a side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was amazing; the steak was great quality & was cooked perfectly. It melted in your mouth. The cheese & sauce were perfect. The Caesar salad was a pleasant surprise & was a great side meal. Overall a 10/10

One of, if not the best steak sandwich I have ever eaten. The thick slices of meat were tender & juicy, the bread was crispy on the outside & soft & moist on the inside. It was divine! Amir was fun to talk to while waiting for our sandwiches. I can't wait to go back & try the other menu items, but I don't know if Ill be able to resist the cheesesteak sandwich!
Try their staple - chess steak sandwich made with wagyu meat. Is it a bit of a gimmick? Maybe, but the reality is most cheesesteaks are made with ribeye meat that is mostly void of fat, making the cheese stand out rather than the meat.
The opposite is true here. You will see & taste large chunks of beef in your sandwich. An interesting take on cheesesteaks for sure.
Try the truffle fries as well.
A little pricey, but hey it's wagyu, & it's old Montreal. 🤷?♂?
8.5/10

A must-visit for anyone who loves a gourmet sandwich done right at very affordable prices. Retro-vibe decor & friendly staff make you feel welcome.
Their Wagyu steaks are seriously high quality, juicy, flavourful, & cooked just right (that char is perfection!). I had the Pinnacle Cheesesteak, the Wagyu on the Road with truffle/parmesan fries, & both were outstanding. MUST is the Animal-Style poutine, it's extremely addictive or as the hubby call it (it's crack 😂)
The lemonades were super refreshing, exactly what you need after a hearty sandwich.
The service is spot on, attentive, kind, & fast! Portion sizes are generous & every bite felt worth it.
Overall, this place delivers: flavour, quality, & atmosphere all in one. I'll definitely be back next time I'm craving a really good sandwich in Vieux-Montréal.
We ordered the Parmageddon chicken sandwich & the Pinnacle Wagyu cheesesteak to go.
The Parmageddon wasn't bad, the chicken was decent & the flavors were there, but it seriously lacked sauce, which made it feel a bit dry. With more sauce, it could have been much better.
The Pinnacle Wagyu cheesesteak, on the other hand, was disappointing. The meat had no flavor, some parts were burnt, others chewy, & there was no sauce at all. The bread was the only good part.
For the price, the quality just wasn't there. On the positive side, the person at the front desk was very nice & welcoming, & the décor inside the place looks great. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations.

Me & my husband tried the Pinnacle Cheesesteak & it was stunning, best cheesesteak I've had in a long while. The wonderful lady at cash gave us the recommendation & did not disappoint. Definitely worth it.
An amazing experience! We had the cheesesteak sandwich & the truffle parm fries & we really liked them! The server who took our order was also very friendly & helpful. We like eating out & having really good food & this place we would absolutely recommend it 💯.
I got the Philly Wagyu Cheesesteak with fries & a mango lemonade. It was delicious! It would a been even better with a stronger sauce but I know they kept it light so you can really taste the meat. It's a cute little spot & they had excellent customer service. With tip, this combo came out to around 36$. Definitely recommend to the meat lovers.
Pinnacle Wagyu Deli is a fantastic new addition to Old Montreal! 🥩 We discovered it during our Montreal Sandwich Challenge, & it definitely impressed us - from the juicy Wagyu beef to the perfectly grilled cheesesteak-style sandwich.
The interior decor is elegant & modern, creating a relaxed & upscale deli vibe. We loved the attention to detail in both the food & the space. Plus Amir was really friendly to speak with.
Bonus: in the summer, they offer a small outdoor patio with amazing views of the Old Port - perfect for a tasty lunch in the sun.
Even though it's a newer spot, it already feels like a local gem. Highly recommend it for sandwich lovers looking to try something a little more gourmet!
