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.

Be aware that if you come during the morning, the restaurant portion only opens at 10:30. Great food, just my personal preference I didn't like the music too loud!
