An absolute must! A Montreal cultural staple & landmark! Frequented by locals & tourists alike!
Awesome smoked meat sandwich! So tasty. Very busy place. Staff was very helpful, light hearted & good. I got my order quick. I recommend.
It was worth the wait… If you are within 100 km of Montreal you should definitely plan to come & have a meal at this place…
Un bon moment dans cette institution montréalaise. Très bon plat.
Je recommande malgré la très forte affluence…
I’ve heard about this place before, so I tried it. I’m gonna say worth to try at least once, from a person who is not a meat fan
Been going there since the 90's & the last visit was a disappointment.
The service was as dry as the meat.
Too bad.

Viande super SEC. Endroit insalubre. Service 3/10. Prix exorbitant. 56$ + Tip. pour deux sandwich + frit. Le Smoke meat de l'épicerie chez Métro l'Irrésistible a meilleur gout . Première & dernière fois. Jack.

This restaurant does two things right, sort of! One: Great marketing for a really lousy, nasty restaurant. Two: Speedy service but that's because the restaurant is treated like a production line.
We arrived at 11:40 in the morning & there was no line up. Upon entering we immediately noticed that it was dirty & cramped. In fact, so cramped we were seated with strangers & required to share condiments. This is the norm & not exceptional.
The waiter who informed us there were no combos, although they are clearly on the menu, was rushed, inattentive, unhelpful & definitely lacking charm. Our order was taken almost immediately. My fries & my husband's poutine came first. About five minutes later came our smoked meat sandwiches by which time our fries were cold. The fries & poutine were both lacking seasoning. The gravy on the poutine was thick, cold & bland. The smoked meat sandwiches were incredibly dry on stale bread & very little mustard. The meat fell apart not because it was tender but because it was brittle. The best thing we had were the soft drinks & that's probably because they came in a can otherwise fountain soft drinks would probably have been a disaster as well. They were also very necessary in order to wash those dry sandwiches down our throats.
Our bill was handed to us while we were still mid-meal. We paid our $50.00 & were out by 12:00 (20 minutes total) by which point there was a line up outside.
This restaurant is severely overrated. It is not only the worst smoked meat I've ever eaten, it is the worst restaurant at which I've ever eaten period. What kind of icon & institution is that? You can literally get better smoked meat anywhere, perhaps even in a dumpster. Go anywhere else!
