An absolute delight!
Every time I am in the Montreal area, I try very hard to pay a visit to this place. It's probably close to 15 years since I was introduced to Smoke's, & it's one of, if not my favorite place for Smoke Meat.
The service is top-notch, portion, quality, & flavor excellent.
For myself, it's also very convenient when I am entering or leaving the Montreal area. Next to the Dairy Queen Ice Cream Parlor, It's practically on Highway 20, which is an alternative, more scenic route to take.
This time, I also tried the ribs. & they were an excellent choice as well.
Also, the atmosphere is great although I had take out, this place was popping, filled with excitement, both with a lively patrons & a very friendly staff. It's also equipped with a cover patio for the warmer climate, I'm guessing. The structure, furniture, & paraphernalia are filled with character & a certain quaint, cozy popping atmosphere.
Live band in the evening, night.
This is definitely a nice place to put on your hit list of places to eat.
BTW, great coleslaw 👍🏾👍🏾
& another recommendation: get the 1lb special to go (cold), this is to enjoy when you get back to Toronto.
It's about $35 with all the fixings.View more

So the atmosphere was great...cant image how it would be when the band was playing. Very casual..
Food was a little overpriced but so is everything today but it made up for in taste. Had a poutine & a smoked meat spaghetti. Fortunately the spaghetti was 2 for 1.View more

Best smoke meat ever!
Une viande excellente qui fond dans la bouche & des frites croustillantes, nous nous sommes régalés.
Il s'agit d'une place avec une vraie identité & une ambiance familiale.
L'endroit est quelque peu petit mais ça ne joue pas sur l'expérience. Live band un peu bruyant par contre mais très sympa quand même! Je recommande vivement.View more

Meilleur smoke meat dans l'ouest. Ambiance exclusive. On entre dans une autre époque. & que dire des bands de Blues. Nous avons passé une excellente soirée. Les portions sont très génereuses.View more

One of the best smoked meat spots. No reservations needed, however it's almost always full. Service is great, whether you speak French or English. Live band performances sometimes. I recommend the ribs, just get the entire rack, it's really good.View more

Excellent endroit pour du très bon smoked meat. Leur salade de chou a un goût spécial & différent des autres restos, un peu trop vinaigrée. Malheureusement, l'expérience sur place est quelque peu gâchée par l'espace un peu restreint & la musique forte lorsqu'il y a un band. Je préfère le smoked meat de Dunn's mais Pete est tout de même parmi les meilleurs.View more

The vibes was perfect!! The band was amazing, the food was faster than we could get a seat?! What more could you ask for 😆 definitely recommend going here & get the fries!! If you love potatoes you'll fall in love with them🥰View more
Andrew
The food is great, been going here for years. I've always had to order for takeaway though because eating indoors is just too loud because of the bands playing in a small room.View more

Over all very disappointing. First I'll say the good sides, the preparation time is good, didn't have to wait, the steak was a-ok, it was juicy, the fries were one of the best, the waiters were patient. That all I had. Second I'll say the bad sides. - When I first enter: 1. No Menu, just HOW does a restaurant operate without a menu only with two tvs that switches slides every like 30 seconds & also breaks in the middle of switching. 2. No given seats, they don't give seats, you find one & you sit. Like I work in a restaurant this ain't gonna work, in fact the tables doesn't even have a number nor do the waiters keep in track of where you seat. 3. 18% default tip, wait I thought the default is supposed to be 15%? I don't feel like this is a fancy restaurant. - I sat down: 1. Small uncomfortable seats, The stool is small AF & not gonna lie also hurts your butt, the stool is somehow also higher than the table, so it's also uncomfortable to eat. 2. Bad management-Serving: The server has to yell your name to give you the food, & you have to yell back to get it? Imagine social anxiety? Boy you are not getting your food💀 -I got the food: 1. No necessary sauce & a bunch of unnecessary ones, Yeah you have to take ketchup from an other desk, & what sauce do you get? Vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, mustard, you guys could have replaced sugar with ketchup. 2. Small desk space 3. You guys have me a beef liver with out a knife? I don't eat like an animal. 4. Bad management-Irresponsible waiters: How is it when I ask if the sausage contains pork your answer was that it contains everything? & the other waiter said beef? 5. Bad managements-Manager: I thought my manager is worse enough to tell me to do what I'm already doing or unnecessary things, oh this is worse, the manager here tell her waitress to "Always comeback with something", is that even necessary? If there are things to take on his or her was then obviously that are going to take it. 6. I sat at the ducking counter & I want another cup of soft drink you tell me I have to wait in the line? Worst of all the line is like 30 min. Like if you are running a meat restaurant it's obvious to know that the drinks can be served according to demand, if you guys just can't stand the "Pay before serve" rule, you need have a specific POS just for drinks. (Finally we gets on the food) 6. Bad taste of the smoked beef, it tastes nothing more than homemade boiled beef & you sprinkle salt & put poutine gravy on it, no smoked flavor on it at all. 7. Too oily on the steak, steak was good, the oil were not handled properly, it made the disk taste disgusting. 8. The soup tasted like puke, honestly ask you chef when was the soup made, it's completely BS, potato tastes like mushed tomatoes that has been sitting for a week. 9. Could've given white bread, even white bread is better than what ever tf you guys are serving rn, oh & also if you don't want to serve other types, toast them. 10. The part where the waiter have to scream your name so you can get your food. Yeah what is the manager to say "scream louder", it's not good for their throat, & you are not helping. - I finished eating 1. The to go box is honestly the worst, hard to close, over all, literally just two boxes but stuck to each other on the opposite side. - I left / - Band 1. OK just tell me how tf does the band take 1h to setup, do that on stage see how that goes. Overall a disaster & dissatisfaction on this restaurant, food quality is not as expected Management is honestly worse than McDonald's, I mean maybe no one can beat your meat (trust me a lot of restaurants can) but everyone can beat your management, & speaking of management, the manager should be nicer to the employees like what is that attitude. Next steps: 1. Hier more people. 2. More ways/spots to place order 3. Menu 4. Better management 5. Cancel "pay before eat" if you can't do number 2, but 1 & 4 is necessary. 6. Please do not pre-make food. 7. Too lazy? Stick to being"a bar". TomTom - Professional Google Maps truth Karen&guide.View more

I like the restaurant in general! I would like to try it while a band is playing there. The smoked meat Wes good, but their best so far of what I tried was their ribs! Those really are good!View more

Authentic Montreal style smoked meat sandwich done to perfection. The special offered at $18.95 comes with a smoked meat sandwich, coleslaw, home made fries & a soda fountain drink of your choice. You got to eat here! They also offer live Blues band on the weekend.View more

Great spot on Thursdays & Sundays to listen to live music in a casual setting, while eating smoke meat & drinking beer. Very friendly ambiance. The Blues band plays from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm (please check hours).View more

This was Montréal to me. A chill atmosphere with great live rock & roll music, delicious cold beer, savory ribs & smoked meat & fun people of all ages rocking out. I was so happy my friends took me here as I was transported back in time to the band's energetic renditions of the Stones & incredible bands of that eraView more

Delicious smoked meat sandwiches, had a live band playing which was alittle too loud for our taste, but other people were really enjoying themselves. The owner came out to give our kids a free ice cream, very nice touchView more

Quelle belle découverte ce midi ! Décor fantastique qui rappelle les années 60! Smoked meat vraiment excellent . Meilleures frites que j'ai mangé , avec un petit coté sucré wow ! Ça donne envie d'essayer la poutine . Excellent service, très rapide . Un endroit où l'on veut retourner ! J'aimerais bien y aller quand il y aura un band sur placeView more

Delicious! (& fast if you come before the lunch rush) Service was okay for what it was- you have to order at the counter before you sit down. But the lady who brought us our food was rolling her eyes at us (not in a fun joking way) for not knowing that, which was unnecessary. Atmosphere was fun, I bet it's a hoot when a live band is there. Little cramped, & while there is a ramp I wouldn't consider it accessible.View more

Must do the line up to order, then go to your table & they will bring your food by saying your name.Food was excellent. My son & I shared a Special Pete, smoke meat sandwich with fries, coselaw & a Cott Cherry Coke. Music was a bit load(not live). I will go back for live Blues Band for sure. Asked for gravy but it was 5$ for a small cup so we decided to pass, I guess whatever little extra the kitchen must do is a big bother so they are trying to discourage you. They serve a little cup of ribs while in the line to order.View more

If you like ribs & smoked meat this is the place it was amazing & oh yes don't forget the cheesecake. It's a family-owned restaurant. The place reminds me of an old wooden cottage. The service was great & friendly. The band that performed were great. They played oldies which we sang along with them all evening. The place is not that big & they don't take reservation. One of the owner gave out ice cream cone which we don't see free things much these days it was really appreciated especially from the kids. In the summer they have old vintage car shows in the parking lot so we will for sure go to that event.View more

It's back to how it used to be! 5/5 Fast service, super friendly staff & amazing food! Live band is always good 🍻 Thanks!View more

Ambiance familiale. Le propriétaire chante & joue de la guitare sur un stage avec un band. Repas environ $20-$30 par personne. Il fait quand même un peu froid, alors la nourriture refroidi assez rapidement. Si vous aimez écouter un band en mangeant, c'est très bien. Faut juste manger vite, ou froid.View more
Sherry
This place is such a vibe! Drove in from Toronto & was greeted by the lovely Cherie, delicious ribs samples 🔥 Great atmosphere, yummy comfort food, & bonus, the band! The lead guitarist/vocalist was next level, accompanied by an engaging, fun band. Put it on your Montreal places to see.View more
