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.

Can't beat Pete's meat ! Only downside is the system they have for orders. Really hope they change that one day.

Amazing take out meal with the Special, 1lb. Montreal Smoked Meat, Bread, Cole Slaw, Pickles. Took home to Hamilton. Long line to order but delivered sample of Beef Ribs while I waited. Line went pretty fast...about 20 minutes. Worth the wait. My friends enjoyed a taste of Montreal from Smoke Meat Pete.

The combination of a smoked meat sandwich & blues was awesome. I had to wait in line for a bit; part of the experience.

Stopped on my way back coz there was classic cars gathering! I am glad I did! A 30 years old smoke meat resto as they say! The best I had since I came to canada! Very busy! Not that cheap but totally worth it, I even bought meat to take home! For sure I am coming back! Highly recommended!
