We got there for 11 am, our poutine was ok. Warm fries & the gravy was the only warm part. The smoke meat was tender & delicious. The half chicken was hot, their special bbq sauce was excellent.View more

Smoked Meat Pete's is, frankly, not possible to beat! The food is amazing! The staff is incredible! The chill atmosphere is unbeatable! It hits top drawer on every conceivable point. There is not a casual, chill place that I would give a better review to... & I'm an old man who has been in 48 states, 9 provinces, 2 territories & 42 countries. Can you get a better smoked turkey somewhere else in the world? Yeah... but if you are looking for a chill & super cool place to chow down on a classic smoked meat, fries, pickle, etc..... it's bloody true, mate;'You can't beat Pete's meat!' Go there! Eat! Drink! If you play an instrument or can sing.... jam! I've been to many, many, many amazing places... & Pete's isn't the absolute best... but It's up there!View more

I was disappointed with the lunch we had. The smoke meat was good on its own, but the rye bread was soggy, & the fries were greasy. When the fries come out brown instead of yellow, you know that the oil needs to be changed. Not so much here. I heard so much hype about this place, & it didn't blow us away. I think they try to serve customers too fast, so the quality gets affected.View more

I love their ribs. My stomach can't take smoked meat anymore. I'm sure their smoke meat is very good, but I order their half rack of ribs, for $29. See pics, I've done it multiple times. It's a bar type atmosphere, playing blues music. You order at the counter, & go sit down, & a few minutes later, the waitress will bring you your order. I go at 2pm, so there is no crowd.
The ribs are fall off the bone, the sauce is sweet, but not crazy sweet. The portion is very generous (I gave up on Baton Rouge, I like these better). I have to admit, I don't understand all their sides. French fries are good, lafleur style, coleslaw is good (vinegar, not creamy). But then they give you a small piece of liver & a thin hot dog (I thought kernautzel, but it wasn't). If you notice only one of the pics has it, I give it back now. Then some rye bread? & some dill pickles..I feel I need some smoke meat, then that would make sense. Some needs to explain that to me.
Anyway the ribs are good, French fries are good, & coleslaw is good. I ignore the rest.
They have live music, I think Thursday to Sunday night, but call their number to confirm.View more

What more can you ask for? Amazing smoked meat, fries are delicious, live blues music every night? Plus every other bite I've had there has been great too (ribs, potato salad). Can't get much better than that.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

We tried the smoked meat sandwich, steak with fries, & the ribs sampler. The sandwich was packed with flavor & perfectly tender, while the steak was juicy & well-seasoned. The ribs sampler featured rich, smoky boneless ribs that were incredibly flavorful. Overall, it was a fantastic experience-highly recommended!View more

Hand down THE best smoke meat! Tried the other & we always come back here. Fries are amazing too! Yes a little more pricy but worth it!!View more

Love the ambiance of Smoke Meat Pete! We visit every once in a while. Consistent with their good service & good food. The smoked meat is exquisite, they make the best french fries, & their homemade ketchup is perfectly tangyView more

So, smoked meat with fries was REALLY good, best I've had in a long time. Music was loud so conversation while eating was not easy.View more

I have been eating smoke meat since I was a kid & have become very picky over the years. Smoke Meat Pete's stands with the best of the best. We ordered a small sandwich, fries, coleslaw, & a drink. The small pieces of rye bread were filled with 1/2 a pound of warm & moist, brisket meat. The fries were home cut, not frozen, & deep fried to perfection. The coleslaw was too small a portion, I wanted more. With a large selection of beverages, I picked the Cott Black Cherry. I found it a bit expensive, $24 per person, but worth the extra cost. What an experience. If you have never been here, step up to the window, order your food, & find a place to sit. The server will call out your name & bring you your food. It takes longer to find a place to sit during peak hours, then to prepare your food. With a nice size menu, which includes steaks, ribs, poutine, & platters of a mix of meats, there is something for all. It's a great place for lunch or an afternoon snack. Enjoy!View more

Delicious. As good or better than the big name deli in QC. Fries were awesome, sandwich melted on your mouth & just about the best slaw I've had..... So worth it & less expensive than you know where...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

Paid ~70$ for a slice of burnt cheesecake & 2 smoked meat sandwich combos with soggy fries that had no color on them . I get that the kitchen was getting slammed on a Sunday night but screw this place. The front of house staff were pleasant but there needs to be way better quality control with what's coming out of the kitchen.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

Better than Schwartz, that's all I need to say. The moment you enter you are smacked in the face with the amazing smell of the smokers in action. The vibe of the place is something else - in such a fantastic way. The service is efficient & simple; order at the window, take a seat, food comes to you very fast. The portions are fantastic, & the fries are wonderful. They remind me of carnival fries from decades ago when they were soft & crispy & oily & salty. Homemade chip truck style - not your frozen McCain's. The meat though, tender, smoky & stacked real high even for the regular portion. I love that it comes with a pickle & slaw as both of them compliment all aspects of the dish so well. You can top the fries with the slaw & cut down the richness overall of the dish, or you can eat them on your own to give your palate a break from the unctuousness & richness of everything. This is my fourth (& not last) time being here & I will visit this over Schwartz's when in MTL area.View more

If you want an amazing true Montreal smoked meat & delicious fries then this is a MUST place to go. Ambiance is rustic blues & staff are friendly.View more

Food was fantastic. Just grabbed the Pete Special or combo, so smoked meat sandwich, fries, & fountain drink. Delicious. The ordering/seating process was a bit unusual, but basically you order at the counter & find a spot, & the wait staff will bring your food to you. It was busy when we were there, so if you go with someone else, one person order while the other secures a seat. Right off the highway too, so Montreal road trips in the future will likely have a stop on the way in or out each trip!View more

Had higher hopes for the smoked meat sandwich. Heard they have won awards around North America so expected good things. The sandwich was average in my opinion as the size was small for the price ($18.99 for sandwich & fries). I compared it to my local favorite & this scored it "okay". The fries were good but their gravy is to be desired as it had a sweet taste to it. They have a stage for live music which would score a higher atmosphere score during a set I would assume. This is just one man's review, give it a try yourself as it is quite a known place.View more

I really liked this cool spot! It's super cozy & has a great vibe with yummy food. My friend recommended their smoked meat, but honestly, there's a bunch of other tasty stuff on the menu too. We tried the smoked meat sandwich with awesome fries - so good! Even though the cashier goofed up the bill a bit, it's all good. They've got a bunch of sauces to choose from to take home, which is neat. The sandwich itself was delish, with lean meat & not too much fat. There's plenty of parking & I can't wait to check out the live music next time. Definitely recommend this spot!View more

The sandwich plates will hit the spot! Get the medium - so juicy! Comes with coleslaw & kosher pickle, & oh! Those fries that Quebecers have perfected!! The service is quick & friendly. You will not be disappointed. The perfect meal on your way in or out of Montreal!View more

When you arrive you go directly to order & then sit down, since you don't have to wait for them to find a seat for you. When you sit down they bring some bread, butter & a small plate of salad to the table while you wait for the food. They have different types of draft beer & in bottles for different tastes. They serve you a lot of food & all the meats come with a side, which from what I could tell is French fries. As for the waiters, they only come to your table to take or remove dishes.View more
