Smoke Meat Pete est largement salué comme l'un des meilleurs smoked meats de Montréal, avec une viande tendre et riche en saveur et des accompagnements qui font l'unanimité, comme les frites et le coleslaw, et le menu inclut aussi des ribs et une poutine appréciée par plusieurs. L'ambiance est souvent décrite comme authentique et chaleureuse, avec une décoration old school et des concerts de blues qui ajoutent une énergie particulière. Le service est en général loué pour sa gentillesse et son efficacité, même lorsque la salle est pleine ou lorsque des groupes s'installent. Le système de commande au comptoir et l'attente peuvent être un facteur à prévoir, surtout les soirs de musique live. Certains avis signalent des prix élevés et des portions parfois plus petites que par le passé, ce qui affecte le rapport qualité prix. Malgré cela, l'endroit est considéré comme emblématique et incontournable pour les amateurs de smoked meat à Montréal. Ceux qui cherchent une expérience conviviale avec musique live et plats généreux trouvent souvent satisfaction et envie de revenir.
You can't beat Pete's meat! Stopped by on New Year's Eve for a quick smoked meat sandwich before hitting the road, & it did not disappoint.
The place had tons of Christmas decorations up, which made for a really cozy vibe. The atmosphere is always fun with live blues on stage, & the staff & owner were so friendly the owner even invited us to their NYE party (so sweet!).
Ordering is simple: you head to the counter, pay, & then grab a wooden table. I went for the smoked meat with fries, pickle, & coleslaw yummm absolutely delicious. If you like it lean, it's a couple bucks more, but I personally love it the classic way.
They even bring a little starter of hot dog, liver, bread, coleslaw, & butter. & I finally tried the ribs this time - wow! Super tender, sweet, & packed with flavor. Highly recommend them.
We arrived & it was the Sunday Jam!
This place exceeded my expectations. Large portions of food, either smoke meat, ribs or brisket with plenty of coleslaw & pickles.
We were so lucky there was live music! Even Pete himself was there & played the guitar ! Excellent ambiance also children friendly.
Really good tunes, great music & the waitresses were very nice & friendly.
We got there for 11 am, our poutine was ok. Warm fries & the gravy was the only warm part. The smoke meat was tender & delicious. The half chicken was hot, their special bbq sauce was excellent.
An absolute delight!
Every time I am in the Montreal area, I try very hard to pay a visit to this place. It's probably close to 15 years since I was introduced to Smoke's, & it's one of, if not my favorite place for Smoke Meat.
The service is top-notch, portion, quality, & flavor excellent.
For myself, it's also very convenient when I am entering or leaving the Montreal area. Next to the Dairy Queen Ice Cream Parlor, It's practically on Highway 20, which is an alternative, more scenic route to take.
This time, I also tried the ribs. & they were an excellent choice as well.
Also, the atmosphere is great although I had take out, this place was popping, filled with excitement, both with a lively patrons & a very friendly staff. It's also equipped with a cover patio for the warmer climate, I'm guessing. The structure, furniture, & paraphernalia are filled with character & a certain quaint, cozy popping atmosphere.
Live band in the evening, night.
This is definitely a nice place to put on your hit list of places to eat.
BTW, great coleslaw 👍🏾👍🏾
& another recommendation: get the 1lb special to go (cold), this is to enjoy when you get back to Toronto.
It's about $35 with all the fixings.

Great food, delicious but it is so expensive. Smoked meat sandwiches are to die for, the size is too small for the price. Yes you get alot of smoked meat, but the portion is small for the price. Doors going in are confusing but follow your nose. Menu is intricate for only english speaking tourists but the lady helping with the orders is helpful & friendly.
Smoked Meat Pete's is, frankly, not possible to beat! The food is amazing! The staff is incredible! The chill atmosphere is unbeatable! It hits top drawer on every conceivable point. There is not a casual, chill place that I would give a better review to... & I'm an old man who has been in 48 states, 9 provinces, 2 territories & 42 countries. Can you get a better smoked turkey somewhere else in the world? Yeah... but if you are looking for a chill & super cool place to chow down on a classic smoked meat, fries, pickle, etc..... it's bloody true, mate;'You can't beat Pete's meat!' Go there! Eat! Drink! If you play an instrument or can sing.... jam! I've been to many, many, many amazing places... & Pete's isn't the absolute best... but It's up there!

I was disappointed with the lunch we had. The smoke meat was good on its own, but the rye bread was soggy, & the fries were greasy. When the fries come out brown instead of yellow, you know that the oil needs to be changed. Not so much here. I heard so much hype about this place, & it didn't blow us away. I think they try to serve customers too fast, so the quality gets affected.
Thank goodness Pete is back & we can enjoy our sandwiches & ribs again. Always enjoy a great sandwich but the four stars are for really tight to get a seat have more tables than usual but he probably did that for get more of us in again. Please take one or two tables away we had to have people enjoying their food stop eating to get to the middle part. My second is for the sandwiches being too lean. We don't ask for lean but it's what I & my friends keep getting. Maybe we need a code word. lol. Oh & for the review of the meal, check the pictures, worth two thousand words. Thanks for reading & HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a great man. Yes went back today & the sandwich was delicious medium with just enough fat. Amazing change to 5 stars

I love their ribs. My stomach can't take smoked meat anymore. I'm sure their smoke meat is very good, but I order their half rack of ribs, for $29. See pics, I've done it multiple times. It's a bar type atmosphere, playing blues music. You order at the counter, & go sit down, & a few minutes later, the waitress will bring you your order. I go at 2pm, so there is no crowd.
The ribs are fall off the bone, the sauce is sweet, but not crazy sweet. The portion is very generous (I gave up on Baton Rouge, I like these better). I have to admit, I don't understand all their sides. French fries are good, lafleur style, coleslaw is good (vinegar, not creamy). But then they give you a small piece of liver & a thin hot dog (I thought kernautzel, but it wasn't). If you notice only one of the pics has it, I give it back now. Then some rye bread? & some dill pickles..I feel I need some smoke meat, then that would make sense. Some needs to explain that to me.
Anyway the ribs are good, French fries are good, & coleslaw is good. I ignore the rest.
They have live music, I think Thursday to Sunday night, but call their number to confirm.
What more can you ask for? Amazing smoked meat, fries are delicious, live blues music every night? Plus every other bite I've had there has been great too (ribs, potato salad). Can't get much better than that.
The vibes was perfect!! The band was amazing, the food was faster than we could get a seat?! What more could you ask for 😆 definitely recommend going here & get the fries!! If you love potatoes you'll fall in love with them🥰
Nice vintage place diner. Authentic smoked meat & good ambiance. Regarding service, it needs more organization. Not a family friendly restaurant setup.
