We went in for steak & ordered the Sullivan cut with shrimp, mashed potatoes, fries, some veggies. The waiter was very knowledgeable, freindly & prompt. We absolutely loved the food & service & recommend this restaurant for awesome steak. There was no reservation needed around 6 pm even on new year's Eve but they had reservations after 7.30 pm.

Great for out of town guests to get your fill of Delicious smoked meat.
The classic smoked meat sandwich is a winner & the cocktails are nice & strong.
Pascal
By far the best smoked meat in Montréal. Potato soup awesome. Jewish seasoned ground beef. Generous césar salad. Stewart's soft drinks!!!
Tracy
I wish I had taken the server's name; she was so personable & enthusiastic. Terrific attitude, made dinner all the more enjoyable!

5 étoiles pour mon repas de fête ce soir !! J'ai pris le fameux sandwich & changé ?a frite en poutine. Le sandwich était excellent mais la sauce poutine tres moyenne.. En entrée les languettes de poulet étaient WOW. Comme dessert le fameux gâteau au fromage excellent. Les bloody cesar à 18$ c'était un peu excessif par contre, mais c'est ma fête une seule fois par année !! 200$ pour deux personnes pourboire inclu. Il est possible de manger pour la moitié du prix à deux, on ne s'est pas vraiment attardé au prix !! 5 étoiles car rendu à la maison, on ne regrette rien du tout. On y retournera.

I visited Reuben with high expectations given its reputation in Montreal, but I left feeling thoroughly disappointed. Despite all the fame, the food was remarkably average.
The sandwiches were'middle of the road' at best-nothing you couldn't get at a standard diner. However, the prices certainly didn't reflect that mediocrity; it's significantly overpriced for what you actually get. It feels like you are paying for the name & the central location rather than the quality of the ingredients.
If you're looking for an authentic Montreal smoked meat experience with actual value for your money, there're much better options in the city. Great fame, but very'just okay' quality 🙁
Andrea
Ophelia was amazing. She had great recommendations from the menu, full of life & loved her job. Great at multitasking. Fun atmosphere, good food, the desserts looked amazing.

Delicious food with friendly & attentive service. The dishes we had were tasty & really good value
Maha
Cute diner vibe! Mac & cheese was the best dish we had. Ribs & chicken sandwich was not bad either. Service was great!
Raafae
Tremendous portions, solid taste. Mac & Cheese was really good, & the rib was tender. Atmosphere was a nice vibe as well. Only criticism I'd have is that the fries could've been seasoned better & should be crispier.
Rico
I always make a point to drop-in whenever I'm in Montréal. The atmosphere is great, the service is fast & the food is exceptional. Order the'Original' & bring your appetite!!

Stopped in here for lunch. Super friendly welcome at the door & the waiter was also really friendly & helpful with recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious. We both had the traditional sandwich - 1 super, 1 Charlie & their homemade cheesecake after. All were amazing. Absolutely recommend this place. Pricing is pretty good value, especially considering where it is located.

My go-to spot when I have a birthday party for a family member or a last minute gathering. Honestly their food is so good & you can't go wrong, their staff is also super friendly. I always get the nicest service & you can tell they care about their customers. Have been & always will be a returning customer!
UPDATE: (02/12/25)
Went back to Reuben's with a group for my sister's birthday & honestly, we had such a good time. The food was amazing again, everything was cooked perfectly. & I have to mention the strawberry cheesecake… it's honestly addictive, & they make it fresh every day (thanks to my server Kim for the tip).
Speaking of which, the service was exceptional. Kim was so attentive & made the whole experience even better.
Overall, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!
