I tried it for the first time last year & since then it became my absolute favorite smoke meat place. Usually you'll have to make a line to order food but it totally worth it. Mayybe the only thing is that the last time the restaurant was too loud & I was having issues to listen the 2 person that were with me in the same table, we were almost yelling.

It's a nice cozy place our server went above & beyond for us. & I must say for the first time in my life that I've seen mustard as one of the main staples on the table like the salt & pepper you would in a restaurant. The food was so delicious, I'll definitely be eating there again if & when I ever get the chance to.

Had higher hopes for the smoked meat sandwich. Heard they have won awards around North America so expected good things. The sandwich was average in my opinion as the size was small for the price ($18.99 for sandwich & fries). I compared it to my local favorite & this scored it "okay". The fries were good but their gravy is to be desired as it had a sweet taste to it. They have a stage for live music which would score a higher atmosphere score during a set I would assume. This is just one man's review, give it a try yourself as it is quite a known place.

Quelle belle découverte ce midi ! Décor fantastique qui rappelle les années 60! Smoked meat vraiment excellent . Meilleures frites que j'ai mangé , avec un petit coté sucré wow ! Ça donne envie d'essayer la poutine . Excellent service, très rapide . Un endroit où l'on veut retourner ! J'aimerais bien y aller quand il y aura un band sur place

I really liked this cool spot! It's super cozy & has a great vibe with yummy food. My friend recommended their smoked meat, but honestly, there's a bunch of other tasty stuff on the menu too. We tried the smoked meat sandwich with awesome fries - so good! Even though the cashier goofed up the bill a bit, it's all good. They've got a bunch of sauces to choose from to take home, which is neat. The sandwich itself was delish, with lean meat & not too much fat. There's plenty of parking & I can't wait to check out the live music next time. Definitely recommend this spot!
