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.

Bijzondere ervaring in dit chaotische authentieke restaurant. Bestellen aan de counter en dan een plaatsje zoeken. Het eten wordt vervolgens wel gebracht.
De kip en de ribjes waren echt ontzettend goed!!

Cool place, very themed. I went in for takeout, it had been recommended by two different friend groups. I did no research. Menu includes smoked meat beef, chicken, & sausage & turkey. We had smoked meat, chicken, & sausage. It came with fries & coleslaw, rye bread & pickles, plus we bought a jar of pickles. I would go back for the smoked meat, pickles, & rye bread.
You walk up to the counter to order then are served when you sit if you eat in.
