Cramped, to me, from baltimore, nyc, it is not worth wait in line, parking busy street to me. If you ate first timer then it might. Food is good & price is Reasonable. Service is good as well. Good coleslaw.

We arrived at this place seeing a long line up of people but don't fret! There's another side to this establishment that serves customers who only wish for food to go. This was incredibly convenient for us since we were just aiming for the sandwiches. The takout line moved like a conveyor belt thanks to the speed & accuracy of the cooks! They pile your sandwich with a ridiculous amount of meat (in terms of meat to bread ratio) so make sure you hold on to this vessel of juicy flavor. Meat that falls apart at the first bite & a nice mustard to cut into the richness. Would come back again to Montreal just for this place. Loved it!

I came here because a friend recommended Schwartz's Deli & their famous smoked meat sandwich. I was lucky to get a seat at the „bar" with a good view on the meat. The guy behind the counter was really friendly, taking the time to introduce all the options they have, & what the famous specialities are. I went for the smoked meat sandwich, with a portion of fries. My meal came really quickly, & I must say: it was sensational! The sandwich was so packed with meat, that it was impossible to eat it with my hands. I went for fork & knife. The delicious meat with mustard & some bread was the perfect combination. Not dry, not super moist, but exactly at the right point. The fries were crispy, & really the cherry on the top. I took a Canada Dry out of the glas bottle with it - perfect really. A glas-bottled Canada Dry. As simple as that. Prices are relatively high if you order all that, but it's worth every penny in my opinion. Outstanding experience, great vibe, sensational food!

Smoked meat sandwich is to die for, & you are served within seconds of ordering. Will be back.

Endroit surfait nourriture bonne mais sans plus ne mérite pas cette renommée accueil pas sympa du tout c'est une cantine plutôt qu'un resto Très déçu 😞

Far be it from me to bad mouth an institution but here goes: I'm sorry to say it but the Smoked Meat sandwich is too dry. There is the lightest schmear of mustard on it, but the bread absorbs it entirely. The meat IS tender, credit where credit is due. It falls apart in your mouth but it is not what I would call juicy. But the sandwich was small but sufficient. Additionally, I personally, didn't particularly like the pickles, & found them rubbery. Also, the macaroni salad is the pretty standard fare from any deli anywhere (meaning, if you were expecting any novelty on that front, I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but prepare to be disappointed). Unfortunately, the overall the experience was lackluster. If there were fixins I could have added to the sandwich ameliorate the dryness, I was unaware. All that said, the service is good & the employees were pleasant. Oh yeah, & the cherry soda is really pretty good. The last thing I'll say (particularly for any New Yorkers reading): comparisons to a certain deli are overstated. Definitely enjoy (or not) this Montreal fixture on its own merits.
