Best smoke meat in town. Good price too. The poutine sauce also tastes better than many places.

I'm so disgusted by you Snowden Del. My mother took me in a carriage to get a piece of stuffed chicken as early as 1971. We were around the corner Isabella. & we were loyal customers for decades. The waitresses knew me by name. The party sandwiches were a staple at any holiday gathering.

The portions were always small & prices high, but the food was good. For us it was an institution to rival beauty's.

Suddenly their smoked meat & stuffed chicken tastes rancid. & the service ysed to be a certain kind of gruff that was also sweet. Now they act like they are doing a favor to take your money.

With so so many better options count on the fact that you've lost customers of almost 55 years because of everyone's attitudes.Truly trash work there oh & those party sandwiches - something is so wrong now the bread is gummy & the fillings almost indistinguishable from one another. Such a disappointment.

Rated 2 stars 1 is for your restaurant from 1969-1990

A Montreal landmark, with i beleive the best smoked meat the city has to offer, very different from Schwartz's which is also a must. The potato is salad is epic as is the cole slaw. The smoked salmon is also top notch. It is a time capsule that is quickly disappearing from our world. Give them your support before to make sure they stick around for another 70+ years.
