We sat at the counter & shared a smoke meat sandwich & an order of poutine. Talking to the staff behind the counter was wonderful.View more

Old time favourite. In French we say Tu n'engraisse pas un cochon a l'eau clair. you don't get a pork fat with thin wateView more

Food flavour has changed. It's bland. Servers just want you to get out asap. Feels like a drive through now.View more

The smoked meat sandwich was fantastic, with meat that melts in your mouth-highly recommend! However, the Schwartz poutine was disappointing. Despite the delicious gravy, it had very little smoked meat, & the fries were burnt & stale. I wouldn't recommend it. The sitting area is so limited that there were about 30 people outside under the scorching sun waiting to be seated, while there's not much merit in sitting in the dining area anyway. The takeout side on the other hand, was well-managed & the line was almost non existent. I would recommend choosing takeout instead.View more

Legendary place. Still delivering the same feeling, experience, & quality that I've been coming back for since the 90s. Viande fumee medium fat, forever!View more

Classic Montréal deli with excellent smoked meat. It has the kind of atmosphere that other places try to simulate. Plan on an early lunch or late breakfast to avoid long lines. The classic order is the smoked meat sandwich with a cherry cola. Popular sides include sour kosher pickles & Cole slaw. It's one of those classic meals you have to have a least once.View more

Go in there, get a smoked meat sandwich, thank all of the life choices that have led you there & eat up!! This is second only to a few locations in the famous lower east side in NYC, & even then gives it a run for its money. Couldn't recommend this spot enough!!View more

Une légende est tombée... ça fait du mal à dire mais le meilleur smoked meat de Montréal n'est plus. 50% de la viande n'est devenu que du gras, les frites mal cuites, bref... si je venais à parler du service je n'en finirai plus. Cela m'attriste de le dire mais ce n'est plus ce que c'était.View more

La renommée de ce restaurant est surfaite... Pour l ambiance....oui! Service sans aucun sourire On nous donne un verre d eau...tiède 😱 14,80$ pour un sandwich smoked meat sans aucun accompagnement.... 4.80$ pour une portion de frites médiocre... Ça a déjà bien mieux auparavant...View more

I really hate to say this...but I think it was just "ok". I know it's a Montreal staple & I don't want to hate on it. I got the smoked meat sandwich & poutine. Poutine is just not my thing, but the sandwich seemed dry & tasteless. What I'd change is getting the meat on a roll & putting more mustard on it...but I don't think it should need mustard. I loved that there was a line out the door & that it clearly has been around longer than I've been alive. Much love, but maybe it's just not for me.View more

First time here & we went to fall in line, luckily a guy said there was available seats at the bar area for two, & we were seated immediately. I gotta say, their smoked meat sandwich is very good! Fries was crispy & just got out of the fryer. Service wise, the guy in front of the counter was kind & welcoming. In terms of seating it is hard for a family or a large group of people to dine in. For two people, usually just go for the bar area.View more
