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.
Les viandes sont pas bien cuit & c'est vraiment pas bon. Ça donne l'air de vomir. En plus de ça les viandes sont cramer 💀. Kabliooooo fermer moi ce restaurant 🤦🏽?♂?
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.
At first, he told me to wait 5 minutes. I said no problem & waited outside. After 5 minutes, I came back, & while speaking with him, more time passed. When I asked again if the order was ready, he said'another 5 minutes.'
I pointed out that he had already said 5 minutes earlier, & now it was another 5 minutes, but he just tried to ignore me.
I understand that during rush hour delays can happen, but making someone wait unnecessarily during peak time is not acceptable. He could have been honest from the beginning & said it would take longer, so I could plan accordingly.
He ended up wasting around 10-12 minutes of my time during a busy period.
J'ai commandé du wagyu, mais j'ai reçu une bavette. La texture & le goût ne correspondaient pas à ce que j'attendais pour du wagyu. De plus, le temps d'attente pour le service était très long & personne ne nous a prévenus. Je voulais simplement partager mon expérience pour que d'autres clients sachent à quoi s'attendre.
Finding a place like this in Old Montreal was truly a surprise. Honestly, everything was far beyond my expectations. The space is small but has a cozy atmosphere. The service was also quite fast. The prices are a bit high, but they're definitely worth it for the quality. Overall, I was very satisfied. I will definitely come back.
We finally got to try Pinnacle Wagyu & we loved every bite. The steak & truffle fries are simple yet very packed with flavour 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Will definitely go back to try more items on the menu ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
