Review Summary

Smoke Meat Pete is widely considered a staple destination for authentic Montreal style smoked meat, offering a unique, rustic atmosphere frequently complemented by live blues music. While many patrons praise the tender, flavorful meat, generous portions, and high quality of the sides like fries and coleslaw, the overall experience can be polarized by factors such as fluctuating prices, occasional inconsistencies in meat texture, and a loud environment that may not suit everyone. The ordering process, which involves paying at the counter before being served, is sometimes described as confusing for first time visitors, yet the staff is generally noted for being friendly and efficient. Despite some debates regarding value and volume, the restaurant remains a beloved landmark for those traveling through the area who appreciate a lively, character filled dining experience.

J'ai découvert ce viande fumé restaurant dans les commentaires d'un billet de voyage sur une ville étrangère, alors nous nous sommes arrêtés ici sur le chemin du retour après la cueillette des fraises. L'ambiance du restaurant est très originale. La poutine au viand
fumé & les spaghettis sont excellents, mais les ailes de poulet m'ont laissé indifférent. On a offert des crème glacée gratuites aux enfants, tout le monde était ravi.

Petit restaurant très fréquenté, mais l'ambiance est conviviale. La poutine est excellente, & la viande fumée vaut vraiment le détour.

Good food, but they have been increasing the prices more & more. 2 specials & a poutine for $77. It's fast food not sushi. Expect to pay $30+ per person.

Stopped here on a drive into Montreal & the smoked meat did not disappoint. We ordered Pete's special & smoked meat poutine & both were excellent. The meat was flavorful & super tender. The menu & ordering process can be a bit confusing for a first-timer (order at the window, find a table, & the staff will bring out your food), but the staff was helpful & friendly. Would return in a heartbeat.

Poutine seemed very cheaply made. Prices are excruciating for the quality

70$ pour deux poutines au smoked meat avec une des deux poutines extra-fromage. Tout le menu est très (trop) cher. La nourriture est bonne, on ne peut pas leur enlever ça. Mais les prix, ça ne fait aucun sens! En plus, les quantités laissent à désirer. À 70$ pour deux poutines, je me serais au moins attendu à des assiettes pleines.

The smoked meat was great - it's a shame about the bread, though. For $26, one would hope for a better quality rye bread (or a pickle to accompany the sandwich 😅). Would've given 5 stars if it weren't for that 🤷🏻?♀? Poutine was good too - no complaints there. The service was friendly & the band was FANTASTIC (it made for a lively atmosphere!)

I've only eaten in once, so I can only really speak for takeout: it's the absolute best smoked meat. The fries are fantastic too & so is the smoked meat poutine. We tried the roast beef & it's really good, too.
