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.

Authentic restaurant with friendly service, interesting rustic decor, great live blues music, & amazing food. I tried the ribs plate, which was excellent & came with delicious appetizers like liver & sausages. I also had the smoked meat platter, & it was the best smoked meat I've ever tried. A great discovery! Portions are huge too. I always end up taking leftovers home & getting another meal out of it the next day.

70$ pour deux poutines au smoked meat avec une des deux poutines extra-fromage. Tout le menu est très (trop) cher. La nourriture est bonne, on ne peut pas leur enlever ça. Mais les prix, ça ne fait aucun sens! En plus, les quantités laissent à désirer. À 70$ pour deux poutines, je me serais au moins attendu à des assiettes pleines.

The atmosphere would have been great if I could hear my partner speak. It was a Tuesday lunch time. Twice we asked to have the music turned down. Twice the waitresses indicated that their boss did not allow them to do so. One of the girls turned it down a little anyway & the boss came back in & turned it up. This is a message for the boss'read the crowd'. There were maybe 15 people having lunch, most were over 60 & were there to have lunch & discuss. No one wants to yell at their partner while having lunch. I would also note that we were NOT the only table that complained. There were 3 of us & another table of 4 wanted the music turned down. That's almost 50% of patrons….. get the drift?
