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.

Dieses restaurant ist perfekt!
Ich war als Tourist dort und es ist genau was ich mir erhofft habe. Ich habe nach einem Roadhouse gesucht, dass halbwegs gutes Essen macht und einfach ein stereotypisches Ambiente bietet. Diese Erwartung wurde bei weitem übertroffen! Das Essen war so gut, dass wir zu viert gleich mehrfach bestellt haben. Die Spareribs sind mehr als empfehlenswert! Dazu kommt eine super passende Jazz Musik, eine wundervoll passende Einrichtung und ein super netter Service. Daher von mir sehr verdiente 5 Sterne.

So the atmosphere was great...cant image how it would be when the band was playing. Very casual..
Food was a little overpriced but so is everything today but it made up for in taste. Had a poutine & a smoked meat spaghetti. Fortunately the spaghetti was 2 for 1.

C'est très cher. J'imagine que ça dépend c'est qui le cuistot. J'ai demandé & payé pour un extra fromage pour ma poutine. Mais il n'y avait presque pas de différence. Pas tant de smoke meat non plus. Ça coûter 35$ 0_o
