The brisket sandwich was a-mazing! Loved the coleslaw... it wasn't all mayonnaise-y like back home. Much lighter & so much better! Best poutine fries we've had so far. Very friendly & efficient waiter. All in all a very good experience for our first night in Montreal.

This place is top notch, everything is great. From the venue, to the food, & the service is unmatched. I especially enjoy their smoked meat. If you sit at the bar, Sam will treat you like family. 10/10.

You can't go wrong here... It's one of Montréal typical smoked meat specialty restaurants that hasn't given up on top notch service. Other dishes are great too & they have a very good kids menu.

The food was great! We ordered three different types of burgers, & they were all delicious. Each burger came with a cup of fries, & the portion size was perfect-it felt like the fries never ended! They were seasoned with just the right amount of salt.

I also highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake. It was the best cheesecake I've ever had!

Our waitress, Finn, was truly amazing. She was friendly, attentive, & made our experience even better. She definitely deserves a raise! ❤?❤?
