With its impressive real-wood smokehouse, and its choice of original and comforting meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the new Pork & Pickle restaurant offers a warm and cozy food experience in the Domestic Area.
Overall, Pork & Pickle at the Montreal airport draws mixed reviews, with some travelers praising fast service, attentive staff, and standout dishes like spicy wings, pulled pork, and a remarkable Dirty Mac and Cheese, while others report rude or distracted service, incorrect orders, and high prices that feel typical for an airport. Food quality ranges from delicious and well seasoned brisket or smoky elements to disappointing portions, dry brisket, cold bites, or missing sides, with several mentions of meals arriving quickly but not always to expectations. The airport setting is a common theme: convenient for a layover and offering a lively beer and bar style ambiance, plus TV coverage that travelers enjoy, yet the price tag and occasional inconsistency temper the overall experience. Beverage service is noted as variable, from welcome refills and friendly bartenders to missing items like Coke Zero or decaf coffee, and several diners emphasize that service quality can swing with busyness. Despite the uneven notes, many guests consider it one of the better airport dining options, valuing quick, friendly service and the ability to grab a hearty meal before boarding.
Made the poor choice of eating here while waiting to catch a flight back to YVR. Brisket sandwich was terrible Pulled pork was edible at best . I know they have a captive audience, being at the airport but seriously 5 bucks for a soft drink Should've listened to my inner voice

Went here for breakfast at 9am, had the benny beef brisket; I enjoyed the food & the coffee was decent. Great service; I didn't get ignored, & the workers seem to be genuinely happy.
I was almosr expecting to see Gordon Ramsey jump out to say shut it down. There was nothing redeeming about the 1/2 BBQ chicken with slaw, French fries & a pickle. The BBQ chicken was a dried out, oven baked bird with a ladle of BBQ sauce poured on top. Not appetizing looking at all, but hang on to that sauce, you'll need it to choke down the dry bird. The slaw had stems & other flotsam in it. The fries appeared to McCain's coated super fries & were cold. & lastly, with pickle in the name of the place, yould think the pick would be fresh & crisp. I don't know where they found the mushy spear they put on my tray. This place surely is only around because there are precious few eateries after security. Do yourself a favor & grab some St Hubert before going through security.
J’ai essayé la poutine avec smoked meat. La sauce était ok un mais sans plus & il n’y avait pas assez de fromage. Margarita excellente & sangria moyenne. La poutine déjeuner au Archibald à l’aéroport est 100 fois meilleure à mon avis.
The brisket was quite nice & their IPA was good. Unfortunately the server was terrible. Among other things, she was very abrupt, I had to ask for mayo twice & my beer sat on the counter for 5-10 minutes before I finally asked another server to bring it over. That server made it quite clear that my own server was out of line. I had the feeling that I’d done something wrong. French fries were excellent though.

This restaurant was unfortunately quite underwhelming given the price. I would not recommend the ribs since they were very dry. The fries were crispy & service was nice though.
Ordered mac n cheese for kids my 3yrs old & they put chilli powder in there. That's kid menu but not kid friendly. My pork n pickle is just alright, dried because sit out too long, probably take them 5mins to microwave n serve. Fries is good.
Pick up weird vibes from the server. She gave us eyes n acting like we r stranger. At the end after i paid she asked loudly where i am from? Phillipino? & she said "have a good day lah". Regret gave her tips.
Beef brisket & pork were really tough & dry, must have been microwaved. Should have microwaved the cold fries while they were at it. Small portion for $35. If this is your number one dish...
