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.
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 😅)

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.
I tried their steak frites. It was really delicious. The fries had a nice seasoning on it & the meat was tender. I also tried their passion fruit lemonade which was quite refreshing. There are tables for you to sit & eat.
Bonjour,
Après un passage dans ce restaurant j'ai été très déçue car la viande du menu on the road n'était pas du tout tendre, il fallait s'assurer de bien la mastiquer au risque d'avaler de travers. Mais je peux cependant dire que les frites avec la truffe furent très appétissants.
Je n'y retournerai pas.

J'ai pris le supersmash. J'aurais du prendre deux viandes c'était très mince. Goûteuse mais un peu salé. J'ai également pris les frites aux truffes très bien. J'y retournerai sur l'heure du dîner.
Had the steak frites which was pretty good. Affordable menu. It's very small inside, maybe 5-6 tables. No restroom. Staff is good. Might try the steak sandwich next time

Excellent sandwich & wagu steak frites. Delicious, very reasonably priced & good portion sizes. Staff were great. Would highly recommend for an informal but delicious quick meal or lunch
Wonderful hot & cold sandwiches, cold beer on tap & frites. English, French & Spanish service. Excellent location in old Town. Indoor or outdoor seating. Try it!
This was our first meal when we got to Montreal & now I'm spoiled! I had the steak frites on the road. The Parmesan truffle fries have me now wanting truffle on everything. My son had the burger & he said it was the best burger he's had. This was probably one of our favorite meals on our vacation!
I meant to take pictures but didn't think about it until I finished eating. It was just that good!
