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.
Went with a bunch of friends for a concert & they gave us a tray of JD shots for free & made us feel more than welcome. Everyone should go here if you liked smoked meat anything.
Absolutely delicious!!! You want smoked meats, this is the place for you!!! Place is always packed & delivers quality food. Many different smoked meat options & plenty of places to sit & enjoy around the restaurant. The staff are friendly & timely. The portions are very generous & juicy. I definitely recommend you stop here when you're in the area. You will not be disappointed & you'll definitely leave with a full belly.
Over all very disappointing. First I'll say the good sides, the preparation time is good, didn't have to wait, the steak was a-ok, it was juicy, the fries were one of the best, the waiters were patient. That all I had. Second I'll say the bad sides. - When I first enter: 1. No Menu, just HOW does a restaurant operate without a menu only with two tvs that switches slides every like 30 seconds & also breaks in the middle of switching. 2. No given seats, they don't give seats, you find one & you sit. Like I work in a restaurant this ain't gonna work, in fact the tables doesn't even have a number nor do the waiters keep in track of where you seat. 3. 18% default tip, wait I thought the default is supposed to be 15%? I don't feel like this is a fancy restaurant. - I sat down: 1. Small uncomfortable seats, The stool is small AF & not gonna lie also hurts your butt, the stool is somehow also higher than the table, so it's also uncomfortable to eat. 2. Bad management-Serving: The server has to yell your name to give you the food, & you have to yell back to get it? Imagine social anxiety? Boy you are not getting your food💀 -I got the food: 1. No necessary sauce & a bunch of unnecessary ones, Yeah you have to take ketchup from an other desk, & what sauce do you get? Vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, mustard, you guys could have replaced sugar with ketchup. 2. Small desk space 3. You guys have me a beef liver with out a knife? I don't eat like an animal. 4. Bad management-Irresponsible waiters: How is it when I ask if the sausage contains pork your answer was that it contains everything? & the other waiter said beef? 5. Bad managements-Manager: I thought my manager is worse enough to tell me to do what I'm already doing or unnecessary things, oh this is worse, the manager here tell her waitress to "Always comeback with something", is that even necessary? If there are things to take on his or her was then obviously that are going to take it. 6. I sat at the ducking counter & I want another cup of soft drink you tell me I have to wait in the line? Worst of all the line is like 30 min. Like if you are running a meat restaurant it's obvious to know that the drinks can be served according to demand, if you guys just can't stand the "Pay before serve" rule, you need have a specific POS just for drinks. (Finally we gets on the food) 6. Bad taste of the smoked beef, it tastes nothing more than homemade boiled beef & you sprinkle salt & put poutine gravy on it, no smoked flavor on it at all. 7. Too oily on the steak, steak was good, the oil were not handled properly, it made the disk taste disgusting. 8. The soup tasted like puke, honestly ask you chef when was the soup made, it's completely BS, potato tastes like mushed tomatoes that has been sitting for a week. 9. Could've given white bread, even white bread is better than what ever tf you guys are serving rn, oh & also if you don't want to serve other types, toast them. 10. The part where the waiter have to scream your name so you can get your food. Yeah what is the manager to say "scream louder", it's not good for their throat, & you are not helping. - I finished eating 1. The to go box is honestly the worst, hard to close, over all, literally just two boxes but stuck to each other on the opposite side. - I left / - Band 1. OK just tell me how tf does the band take 1h to setup, do that on stage see how that goes. Overall a disaster & dissatisfaction on this restaurant, food quality is not as expected Management is honestly worse than McDonald's, I mean maybe no one can beat your meat (trust me a lot of restaurants can) but everyone can beat your management, & speaking of management, the manager should be nicer to the employees like what is that attitude. Next steps: 1. Hier more people. 2. More ways/spots to place order 3. Menu 4. Better management 5. Cancel "pay before eat" if you can't do number 2, but 1 & 4 is necessary. 6. Please do not pre-make food. 7. Too lazy? Stick to being"a bar". TomTom - Professional Google Maps truth Karen&guide.
Paid ~70$ for a slice of burnt cheesecake & 2 smoked meat sandwich combos with soggy fries that had no color on them . I get that the kitchen was getting slammed on a Sunday night but screw this place. The front of house staff were pleasant but there needs to be way better quality control with what's coming out of the kitchen.

I will come back to this place time & time again! Eating here is what I look most forward to after spending the day in Montreal. The staff is always friendly, & the food hits the spot every damn time. Well done!!
Dine in or take out, this place is amazing! What a cool atmosphere if you're lucky to get a seat! (Which is a good sign!) When you order at the counter, with friendly bilingual service, they provide delicious samples of their amazing dishes! Amazing little stage with live music & they even announce anniversaries & birthdays! What an awesome place & the food is beyond amazing! Stop in on your way to Montreal & end your trip with one more visit! 🥰
Authentic Montreal style smoked meat sandwich done to perfection. The special offered at $18.95 comes with a smoked meat sandwich, coleslaw, home made fries & a soda fountain drink of your choice. You got to eat here! They also offer live Blues band on the weekend.
Better than Schwartz, that's all I need to say. The moment you enter you are smacked in the face with the amazing smell of the smokers in action. The vibe of the place is something else - in such a fantastic way. The service is efficient & simple; order at the window, take a seat, food comes to you very fast. The portions are fantastic, & the fries are wonderful. They remind me of carnival fries from decades ago when they were soft & crispy & oily & salty. Homemade chip truck style - not your frozen McCain's. The meat though, tender, smoky & stacked real high even for the regular portion. I love that it comes with a pickle & slaw as both of them compliment all aspects of the dish so well. You can top the fries with the slaw & cut down the richness overall of the dish, or you can eat them on your own to give your palate a break from the unctuousness & richness of everything. This is my fourth (& not last) time being here & I will visit this over Schwartz's when in MTL area.

Great spot on Thursdays & Sundays to listen to live music in a casual setting, while eating smoke meat & drinking beer. Very friendly ambiance. The Blues band plays from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm (please check hours).
Don't believe the hype !! The quality of the meals & the abilities of the staff have definitely been dropping recently. The prices were more reasonable.. they are now charging more.. While having live music is potentially wonderful.. For some reason the much more talented musicians no longer seem to play here. I think this restaurant is riding on its reputation & that reputation is no longer deserved. My last visit in July had myself & a friend waiting 30 minutes on a quiet day for very dry tasteless chicken. Both the food & the service was totally unacceptable. I have always enjoyed the atmosphere but the food & the service are no longer interesting.
Great place if you're in the West Island & have a craving for smoke meat or ribs. Ambience is very nice with a live band. Service is friendly & very nice. Relax ambience & enjoyed my visit.

Such a friendly place to spend a good time. The meat is so succulent. I tried the smoke meat, brisket, & ribs. & it was all amazing. It's especially nice when they have live music.
I am glad I went to this place. The smoked meat (which is a family recipe) was delicious & the lady helping us was super friendly. 10/10 would recommend.
Food was fantastic. Just grabbed the Pete Special or combo, so smoked meat sandwich, fries, & fountain drink. Delicious. The ordering/seating process was a bit unusual, but basically you order at the counter & find a spot, & the wait staff will bring your food to you. It was busy when we were there, so if you go with someone else, one person order while the other secures a seat. Right off the highway too, so Montreal road trips in the future will likely have a stop on the way in or out each trip!
This was Montréal to me. A chill atmosphere with great live rock & roll music, delicious cold beer, savory ribs & smoked meat & fun people of all ages rocking out. I was so happy my friends took me here as I was transported back in time to the band's energetic renditions of the Stones & incredible bands of that era
Had higher hopes for the smoked meat sandwich. Heard they have won awards around North America so expected good things. The sandwich was average in my opinion as the size was small for the price ($18.99 for sandwich & fries). I compared it to my local favorite & this scored it "okay". The fries were good but their gravy is to be desired as it had a sweet taste to it. They have a stage for live music which would score a higher atmosphere score during a set I would assume. This is just one man's review, give it a try yourself as it is quite a known place.
