Patrons encounter a straightforward approach to American-style barbecue traditions with a focus on generous portions and consistent flavor profiles.

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.

Great smoked meat, truly a classic place. A must go. Old style blues themed smoke house. A little pricey but definitely worth it, especially after some long hours on the road.

67$ pour deux combo gros smoked méat, un médium fat très bon, par contre le deuxième combo demandé mince & maigre ils ont chargé 6$ de plus pour l'avoir ! Première fois de ma vie qu'on me charge extra pour mince & maigre, il était maigre mais très épais. 92$ avec le pourboire, première expérience & dernière fois pour nous…

The best, but order the medium/regular where all the flavour is. A must stop on the West Island!

Came across this gem while on the way to the east. We got poutine & smoked meat sandwiches & they did not disappoint. The smoked meat was tender & flavourful & packed. Absolutely enjoyed every bite & will definitely be back.

Sehr leckeres smoked meet im echt coolen Ambiente. Man sollte auf jeden Fall Zeit mitbringen, da erst bestellt und gezahlt wird. Erst dann bekommt man einen Platz. Dementsprechend ist auch eine lange Schlange beim Eingang.

I'm from MTL & driving to Iles Perrot for Smoke meat is so worth it. You can't beat it. Nothing comes close. Absolutely the best! The meat is so juicy & flavorful. Plus if you're lucky you get to enjoy a great band while dining in.
