Food was pretty good. The chop chop poutine was good. The short rib grilled cheese was awesome. Steak salad was tastyView more

Pas de poutine barbecue dans le menu réduit pendant le Grand Prix de F1. Difficile à comprendre qu'ils puissent proposer la chop-chop mais pas la barbecue.View more

Great food & excellent service!
This place is now my go-to spot for smoked meat sandwiches in Montréal. We tried the Famous Super Sandwich & the Chop Chop Poutine-both were absolutely delicious. Our waitress was outstanding: professional, friendly, & knowledgeable. She (we forgot to ask her name) was definitely the best waitress we've seen in a long time!View more

Amazing smoked meat sandwiches. The meat was not grainy like a lot of reuban sandwiches, & it was super flavorful & rich. We had poutine on the side, which had amazing gravy. On another note, the service was incredible, & our server definitely earned his high tip. If you're in the area, this place is definitely a must go at least once.View more

The restaurant has a very classic feel to it. Gustavo provided excellent service for food & drinks that were also both phenomenal.
For starters, we had the potato pancakes & sweet pickles. Nothing was coated in too heavy of a batter, it was all very light & tasty. The mustard dip went really well with the appetizers! As a vegetarian, this was the last place I thought I'd try, but Gustavo was great at recommending a few items for a main dish. I was thinking about the mushroom flatbread before he recommended the Reuben vegetarian sandwich, I was happy I went with his suggestion. The vegetables were cooked nicely, the rye bread was fantastic, & the poutine was perfection. That being said my brother & father's sandwiches looked quite hearty & they had nothing but good to say about it!
All in all, this is a must try restaurant if you are in downtown Montreal. It was a five minute walk from our hotel & it was well worth it! A reservation was made in advance, so make sure you give yourself some time if you are going during dinner rush.View more

Possibly the best meal I've ever had. I had the striploin (12 oz) & my wife had the Reuben Club with poutine. The gravy on the poutine was unique & amazing. The steak was to die for, each bite delicious & perfection. We hardly ever get dessert but opted for the strawberry cheesecake & the carrot caramel cheesecake. Service was fantastic & the atmosphere casual but with purpose & intent.View more

Easily one of the best poutines in Montreal. Sam the bartender will also serve you some amazing cocktails with some great energy!View more

The portion is enormous. & the smoked beef in the sandwich club is so tender & flavourful. 2 entries fed 3 of us well. The side dish of poutine is average & the garden salad is a bit pricey for the extra charge. & the food was served fast. There is free street parking right in front of the restaurant.View more

The smoked meat is very different from other famous Montreal flags for Smoked Meat. It is cut very thin but the strips are too long & kinda chewy... biting into a sandwich doesn't do it without pulling all the way to the end of the strip... but the Poutine Chop Chop is amazingView more

Vers good poutine with smoke meet. Très bonne poutine avec viande fumée.View more

Best Reuben's sandwich & poutine I've ever had! Excellent service. A bit on the expensive side but totally worth itView more

Service was good! Prompt & helpful. We asked for some recommendations & were mostly met with "I wouldn't order this, but everything else is great". We got the large corned beef sandwich that we shared. The bread was a little sad, like soggy? Would be better toasted like on a reuben. The mustard was good. I really like that the meat wasn't fatty at all. Sometimes I feel that corned beef sandwiches are really tough & fatty which wasn't the case here. Had the onion rings which were good but not special at all. Not sure you get enough for the price. Also got the short rib poutine, & for some reason the meat was cold? The fries were hot & steaming, but the meat was cold until we buried it under the fries & gravy & then it warmed up. It was good but not outstanding. Had two cocktails, they were pretty solid. Nothing was super standout, at nearly $40 I think I expected a little more flavour in the sandwich, & nicer bread. I'd go again but would maybe try other items. So overall a 4 star experience.View more

I was confused between this place & another Reuben that's close by. Well, the other one wasn't open so I could only visit this one. Came here for my 2nd dinner as I only had one day in Montreal. I had to get the "OG" sandwich with smoked meats. Boy, did it not disappoint. It was the best thing I had with my 3 meals in Montreal. The smoked meats were flavorful & tender. With melted cheese, I really liked it. I did upgrade the fries to a poutine, but this didn't impress me. I don't like my fries soggy & the cheese & gravy certainly did. It was also on the salty side. My wife got the French onion soup as she couldn't eat much for her 2nd dinner. The soup was not bad, but she had made one before & I think it was better. I also read some reviews & was looking forward to the black cherry soda. Glad I ordered as it was tasty! The service was great as our server checked in with us often & was very courteous. Nice display of smoke meats in front. I would certainly go back, even if it was just for the smoked meat sandwiches.View more

Researched a place for dinner & was so glad I ended up here! Staff are very professional & friendly, the atmosphere is casual, & the food taste & quality is top notch! Went with the Striploin steak, twice baked potato, & a cheeky BBQ short rib poutine to share - all were excellent! As a meat fanatic, it really was tough to choose from the menu, so I will definitely have to go back to sample more of it!View more

Staying nearby on vacation & went here on a whim. Ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. Bartender was super nice & suggested the (pictured) smoked meat & poutine. Even recommended me some places to check out later that night since it was Labor Day eve. Very thoughtful. Food was of course delicious & more importantly filling. You get your money's worth here. Will repeat if I'm ever back in the area.View more

First time here visiting Montreal. This place is amazing! Friendly staff & the food is awesome, we've been to the infamous NYC delis & Reubens is better. It's a must while visiting the beautiful city of Montreal. Oh, & don't forget to try the rib meat poutine!View more

If I could give 100 stars, I would!! First time here & loved everything about it! The employees, the service & most importantly the food - AMAZING! Our waitress Elizabeth was awesome, & always made sure we were taken care of! We were a group of 9 & after ordering, the food came within 7 minutes - talk about great service! I had the chop chop poutine & roast beef melt, & can't wait to come back & try everything else on the menu!View more

Cercavo un ristorante che potesse offrire specialità tipiche del posto come la poutine e il manzo affumicato (smoked meat) e ho constatato che questo ristorante è perfetto. Ambiente informale ma molto carino dove si mangia con la magia del jazz in sottofondo; il menù è molto vario e si possono gustare vari tipi di hamburger, sandwich gourmet (consigliatissimi quelli con la smoked meat), piatti tipici ma anche con un occhio alla cucina internazionale per soddisfare ogni palato. Prezzo un po' superiore alla media ma la qualità è garantita. Personale gentilissimo e sorridente. Locale sempre pieno, pertanto è vivamente consigliata la prenotazione.View more

Was in Montreal for 3 days & stopped in for a quick lunch, it ended up being the best meal I had my entire trip! My girlfriend & I split the Montreal smoke meat sandwich with a poutine & it was a perfect size for the both of us. The service was also exceptional. I highly recommend Reubens & look forward to visiting again!View more

I rarely, & I mean like never leave a review but this place deserves one. Service 11/10 Our server Matthew was beyond amazing...polite, patient with our 5 kids with us, accommodating, insert more positive adjectives for Matthew...he was that good, I wish I could take him back to the states to train the miserable servers we have. 25% tip no question that's how great he was. Food- 11/10 Party of 9 & everything was amazing. From salads to sandwiches everything was beyond great. I'm ashamed to say I left food on the plate....but portions were great. I had the OG grilled sandwich with brisket, bacon & sausage...I'm about to explode...the poutine was delicious too Do yourself a great service & stop by to grab a bite here...I Guarentee you leave with a new definition of what great food & service should beView more

Fantastic experience. We had lunch there & our 3 young children. The smoked meat sandwich & the poutine was great. Our server Orly was fantastic. Extremely kind & helpful. Such a memorable experience for a casual lunch. I highly recommend.View more

Let me tell you what you wanna do here: get a sandwich or burger & because everything comes with fries, make those fries a little poutine! Ordering a poutine starter was bold & unnecessary. I wish the poutine was served flatter & on a wider platter (like nachos): the gravy was all in the centre/at the bottom, & the meat was all on top & it was impossible to mix everything, you couldn't get the perfect bite. The gravy wasn't my favorite. The Delmonico was very good (that buttered bread yum yum) & not for anyone on a diet. It was good for two people. We were served a very different bottle of wine than ordered. It still tasted good & was the same price but funny that they presented that at all (it wasn't even on the menu). April 2024View more

Was good but too expensive, in my opinion. Poutine was very good. The sandwiches got soggy in transit back to my hotel. They need to have a better way to package their takeout so it won't get the bread so gross & soggy. Other than that meat was good I would recommend eating in the restaurant. Service was amazing considering im an English speaker. I was treated equally, felt welcomed, & respected.View more
Samantha
Ordered to go & service was very fast. Food was hot, & simply smelt divine. I got the classic Reuben with a side of poutine (upcharge). The poutine was my favorite part of the dish. The sandwich itself was good, but not the best Reuben I've ever had. The meat is sliced thin & well seasoned. Not a lot of sauerkraut. Secret sauce is good as well. Would definitely come back to try a dine in experience.View more

Always a treat to go to Reuben's. Great food, great service & never disappointed! My favourite meals are the poutines. Both the smoked meat poutine & the short rib poutine are perfect as meals that won't leave you feeling too heavy.View more

Great food, took. Ribeye, Burger & their Rib Teak. Melted in my mouth started with a poutine beef bbq finished off with the bomb choclate. Very professional & it was just amazing. Thank you to Amine our waiter to have made us feel like home. Will be back to try smoked meat.View more
