Les avis décrivent Smoke Meat Pete comme une institution légendaire à Montréal, avec des portions généreuses de viande fumée tendre et savoureuse, des frites et une poutine remarquables, et une ambiance blues dynamique portée par des groupes live qui attirent locaux et visiteurs. L'accueil est souvent salué pour sa gentillesse et son service efficace, mais plusieurs commentaires signalent une hausse des prix et, dans certains cas, des portions plus petites ou une qualité de viande inégale, en particulier pour les coupes maigres ou plus grasses. Le cadre peut être bondé et le système de commande au comptoir est fréquent, avec des plats à emporter très populaires; malgré tout, la valeur globale fait débat à mesure que les prix augmentent, tandis que beaucoup affirment que la viande, la fumaison et l'authenticité de l'endroit valent le détour, surtout lors des soirées avec musique live.
I've been to this restaurant MANY times. We visited friends in Vaudreuil yesterday & stopped in at Smoke Meat Pete on the way home. It's a five or so minute drive from their home. We had our dog with us so we couldn't leave him alone in the car. We got a couple of meals to go & ate in the parking lot. His Highness may have gotten a bit of smoked meat as a treat. Great meal as usual but the sandwich was a bit sloppy. You couldn't help it because of the confines of the car & the to-go box. Fries had a bit of a sweet taste to them. Loved them. Smoked meat was piled high on the sandwich. Loved it. Whenever I'm in the area, I stop into this restaurant for my smoked meat fix. Ile Perrot is much easier to get to than trying to get to Moe's or Ben's or Schwartz on the Island by crossing the bridge on the 40. I've never been in the evening when they've had the live band playing blues but that's hopefully remedied soon. I will be back.
First time here, from out of country. Recommended by a local friend, & I truly loved it. It was described as the best smoked meat, & it lived up to the expectation. Amazing smoked meat; good flavor, good texture, moist & tasty. Incredible ambience. Only down was I did not come on a night of live music which I saw the stage for. I really must come back to enjoy that, & especially get more smoked meat. I also enjoyed the poutine.

A must visit for leaving or entering Montreal. Great smoked meet & fries, great coleslaw & poutines. Great for take out. Can get busy do get there early.
It's mid. The atmosphere is the best thing, the food is known for the famous smoke meat. You get a good portion of meat when you order. 3 people 2 sandwiches 1 combo 3 drinks. Cost $75 bucks. Kinda pricy. Location is very close to the airport.
We had a run in with other local tourists that promoted rudeness & shellfishness. That killed this review. The staff serving me was also a bit tough to deal with & not very friendly with English/french people.
You order at the cash & then grab a seat & they bring you your food. Paid about 24 bucks & a 3 dollar tip for their Pete's smoke meat plate. Not sure if I needed to specify or not, but a third of my smoke meat was fat & not edible(unless you love eating nutrition-less fat). Maybe I have a big appetite, but the sandwich did not fill me, even with the fries & small container of slaw. Now, the size of the sandwich would have gone unnoticed if there wasn't so much fat scrap on the meat...feels like I paid for fat & that I got rooked. 27bucks not worth it. Could have gotten a decent meal for that price. The taste of the smoke meat wasn't bad.
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.
Nice little gem!

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!
