Smoke Meat Pete est largement salué pour sa viande fumée riche et tendre, ses sandwichs copieux, ses ribs et sa poutine, le tout dans une ambiance old school souvent animée par des concerts de blues qui donnent du caractère au lieu. Les portions sont généreuses et les frites et le coleslaw bénéficient d'éloges, mais certains estiment les prix élevés et que les portions peuvent sembler plus petites qu auparavant. Le service est généralement rapide et chaleureux, tout en restant efficace, mais des expériences ponctuelles de coordination ou d oubli de commande ont été signalées. L'endroit peut être bondé et l'espace assez serré, avec des files d'attente et un brouhaha qui font partie de l'expérience, surtout lors des soirées live. En somme, Smoke Meat Pete demeure une institution pour les amateurs de smoked meat: on y vient pour l'ambiance, les saveurs et l'authenticité, et il est souvent conseillé d'arriver tôt ou de profiter des soirs avec musique.
I've been going here for nearly 30 years now & I never walked away dissatisfied. Pete's smoked meat is reason alone, but the people who work there & the atmosphere put it over the top. Smoked Meat Pete is a landmark & well represents Montreal's unique smoked meat tradition.'You can't beat Pete's meat,' & his fries are damn good too!
Im rarely this impressed with service, with food, & ambiance. I thoroughly enjoyed the smoked meat & the band that was playing. Our waiter, Eric, I think, was extremely polite & despite his humble beginnings was fantastic!
We had an amazing experience! The team accommodated our group of 50 people on very short notice, & everything exceeded expectations. The service was organized, friendly, & efficient, & the food was absolutely delicious. Managing a group this size isn't easy, but they handled it seamlessly & made everyone feel well taken care of. Huge thank you to the staff for going above & beyond.
Not a large place, but you can usually get a seat. GREAT, GREAT Smoked Meat & other deli/grilled fair. The place is a local legend for a reason. Worth noting that for dine-in, you order at the counter, find a seat, & they call your name to find you in the dining room with your order.
