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.

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.

C'est très cher. J'imagine que ça dépend c'est qui le cuistot. J'ai demandé & payé pour un extra fromage pour ma poutine. Mais il n'y avait presque pas de différence. Pas tant de smoke meat non plus. Ça coûter 35$ 0_o

First time eating lunch here in a while. Wife finds two strands of hair in her poutine, different colour hair. Manager/owner lady comes to apologize & blame it on old age....gives a cheesecake as compensation. Cheesecake crust is burned like crazy. On top of it, very expensive even tough the smoked meat was quite good.

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!

Très petites portions pour le prix: 14$ pour un sandwich (pain & smoked meat), rien d'autre dans l'assiette. Petite poutine smoked meat sans morceaux consistants de viande, que des résidus poivrés perdus dans le sauce & servie dans un format bol de céréales pour 17$ & pas du tout appétissant.
