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.

My husband & I usually come here when we crave BBQ. We love the BBQ ribs; they are the best, along with the roast beef. The lady owner is also very nice.

Been going here for years & its always been a top spot in my heart for their smoke meat. Their is a couple a amazing spot for smoke meat in Montréal but I would have to say this is close to or if not the best in my opinion in Montréal. Highly recommend trying once & if you can try to go when they have a LIVE MUSIC. 👌🤌

Great food, delicious but it is so expensive. Smoked meat sandwiches are to die for, the size is too small for the price. Yes you get alot of smoked meat, but the portion is small for the price. Doors going in are confusing but follow your nose. Menu is intricate for only english speaking tourists but the lady helping with the orders is helpful & friendly.

Best smoke meat ever!
Une viande excellente qui fond dans la bouche & des frites croustillantes, nous nous sommes régalés.
Il s'agit d'une place avec une vraie identité & une ambiance familiale.
L'endroit est quelque peu petit mais ça ne joue pas sur l'expérience. Live band un peu bruyant par contre mais très sympa quand même! Je recommande vivement.

Smoked Meat Pete's is, frankly, not possible to beat! The food is amazing! The staff is incredible! The chill atmosphere is unbeatable! It hits top drawer on every conceivable point. There is not a casual, chill place that I would give a better review to... & I'm an old man who has been in 48 states, 9 provinces, 2 territories & 42 countries. Can you get a better smoked turkey somewhere else in the world? Yeah... but if you are looking for a chill & super cool place to chow down on a classic smoked meat, fries, pickle, etc..... it's bloody true, mate;'You can't beat Pete's meat!' Go there! Eat! Drink! If you play an instrument or can sing.... jam! I've been to many, many, many amazing places... & Pete's isn't the absolute best... but It's up there!
