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.

It's mid. The atmosphere is the best thing, the food is known for the famous smoke meat. You get a good portion of meat when you order. 3 people 2 sandwiches 1 combo 3 drinks. Cost $75 bucks. Kinda pricy. Location is very close to the airport.
We had a run in with other local tourists that promoted rudeness & shellfishness. That killed this review. The staff serving me was also a bit tough to deal with & not very friendly with English/french people.

It's a bit far from the city but totally worth the ride. Great ribs & smoked meat, old school seating & some good old live blues... can't beat Pete's meat!
