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.

30$ is too expensive for an average smoked meat sandwich. Smoked meat was once upon a time supposed be a cheap way of eating a cured inexpensive piece of meat. Smoke Meat Pete has lost its way.

You order at the cash & then grab a seat & they bring you your food. Paid about 24 bucks & a 3 dollar tip for their Pete's smoke meat plate. Not sure if I needed to specify or not, but a third of my smoke meat was fat & not edible(unless you love eating nutrition-less fat). Maybe I have a big appetite, but the sandwich did not fill me, even with the fries & small container of slaw. Now, the size of the sandwich would have gone unnoticed if there wasn't so much fat scrap on the meat...feels like I paid for fat & that I got rooked. 27bucks not worth it. Could have gotten a decent meal for that price. The taste of the smoke meat wasn't bad.

Notre première expérience, smoke meat était superbe mais les frites avaient un goût surette
Vraiment désappointé d'écrire une revue negative, peut-être une situation isolée
