Review Summary

Smoke Meat Pete is widely praised as a standout for smoked meat in Montreal and a landmark in the city’s tradition. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as lively and old school, with live blues, a friendly staff, and a vibe that makes the wait part of the experience. The meat is tender and richly flavored, with standout fries and coleslaw and ribs and poutine also receiving praise. Several reviews discuss value, noting portions or prices have shifted over time and that some days feel pricey for the size. Crowds and noise are common, especially when live music is on, but the energy is part of the appeal. Service is often described as fast and friendly, with the ordering system at the counter and options for takeout or bundles. Overall the reviews converge on a memorable Montreal experience where the food, music, and atmosphere combine to justify a trip.

Fantastically authentic, Pete's won't disappoint. Their luscious ribs, smoked meat platter were generously portioned & left us wanting more. Kudos to the staff for the samples, you sold us when we walked in.

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.

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.

Attention Ceci est l'avis d'une française en visite au Québec. Je n'ai pas apprécié la viande fumée. Les ribs m'ont semblé meilleurs. Ok pour les frites qui sont fraîches. La quantité est importante même en commandant un petit sandwich. Ça cale bien. Dommage aussi, pas de concert. Je reviendrai pour boire un verre & écouter la musique mais pas pour manger.

Always order the smoke meat when I go to Pete's & it's always very good. Yesterday, when I went, they had some juicy looking ribs on display at the counter. I ordered a half rack & was very surprised at what was brought to me. The ribs were not like the ones displayed. They were awful. The ribs were mushy & bland. Kinda like they were boil for a long period of time & the only flavour was the BBQ sauce slathered all over. Shame on me for ordering ribs at a Smoke Meat joint. The good thing out of this was, I was refunded my money after I complained.
