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.

One of the best smoked meat spots. No reservations needed, however it's almost always full. Service is great, whether you speak French or English. Live band performances sometimes. I recommend the ribs, just get the entire rack, it's really good.

I compared this Smoked meat to others I've had in the Montréal area. This one ranked in the top 3 considering many aspects. I was a bit put off with the amount of black pepper used which dominating over the delicious flavour of the meat. Worth a try though.

I was told this was the best spot for smoked meat in the Montreal area & I believe that to be true! Great food & fast service. Opens at 9am, but won't serve food until 10:30am which was a little confusing but none the less, worth the wait. Will return in the future!
