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!

Petit resto simple qui méritait peut-être de l'éloge il y a 10 ans mais je ne comprends pas du tout pourquoi les gens en rafole tant que ca aujourd'hui. Le service est bon & rapide, les serveurs sont très gentils. Par contre, j'ai demandé ma viande juteuse, je l'ai eu très sec & sans goût. J'étais vraiment surprise & déçue, moi qui avait beaucoup d'attente pour ce resto si renommé. 1ere & dernière fois, temps & argent gaspillé!

Nous faisons découvrir cet endroit à notre entourage en visite au Québec car le smocked meat y était quand même bon. & malgré plusieurs visites, ça a dégradé au fur & à mesure à cause du service catastrophique où on nous mettait à la limite à la porte. Depuis, je n'y ai pas remis les pieds, déjà qu'on attendait pour rentrer, si c'est pour ne pas savourer & se faire "renvoyer" sans merci/au revoir, non merci..

Pour un bon smoked meat bien gras, on ne se trompe jamais chez Schwartz's!
On se présente, on s'assoie où l'on peut à une table qu'on partage avec d'autres clients.
L'endroit est un peu crasseux, mais on ne s'en fait pas avec ça, tout ce qu'on veut, c'est un bon smoked meat!
L'ambiance & le personnel sont sympas à leur façon! :)
Le sandwich est servi sans fla fla.
La viande est d'une tendreté & d'une saveur exquise & unique.
Juste à y repenser, j'en ai l'eau à la bouche!

I've lived in Montreal for over 20 years; only recently went to try this Montreal staple on F1 weekend, given there was no line-up. However, I don't understand why this place is so hyped up. The smoke meat was different, but not necessarily better than other places in Montreal.
I won't comment on service, as I took takeout, but even takeout was not too friendly.
