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.

I went with a friend & we placed our orders one at a time at the counter, she placed it before I did, they ere both exactly the same. I had my meal brought to the table in a coupe of minutes. We waited for a while & no meal yet for her. She noticed that the fork had some left over food still on it. We had to ask the server about the missing meal. Why the delay & forgotten meal? My sandwich was greasy & hers was dry.

Superbe décorations & ambiance avec un excellent groupe de blues le samedi soir, on se serait cru dans le sud des États-Unis avec de la bouffe de chez nous! Les côtes levées fondent dans la bouche.

I've been to this restaurant MANY times. We visited friends in Vaudreuil yesterday & stopped in at Smoke Meat Pete on the way home. It's a five or so minute drive from their home. We had our dog with us so we couldn't leave him alone in the car. We got a couple of meals to go & ate in the parking lot. His Highness may have gotten a bit of smoked meat as a treat. Great meal as usual but the sandwich was a bit sloppy. You couldn't help it because of the confines of the car & the to-go box. Fries had a bit of a sweet taste to them. Loved them. Smoked meat was piled high on the sandwich. Loved it. Whenever I'm in the area, I stop into this restaurant for my smoked meat fix. Ile Perrot is much easier to get to than trying to get to Moe's or Ben's or Schwartz on the Island by crossing the bridge on the 40. I've never been in the evening when they've had the live band playing blues but that's hopefully remedied soon. I will be back.

Smoke Meat Pete is hands down the best smoked meat in Québec. The sandwiches are packed, flavorful, & incredibly tender. Portions are generous & the quality is always top notch. They also have live bands on select days, which adds a great vibe to the experience. A must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Montréal-style smoked meat.
