Tasty smoked meat! The smoked meat sandwiches are HUGE. Perfect for sharing. Stacked with meat and Swiss and sauerkraut. Very yummy! The poutine was very good. I added smoked meat and wish I had gone with the original. Gravy has good flavor. Cheese curds were good. Interior has a dinner/bar vibe. Red vinyl seats, checker pattern. Service was excellent and friendly. Local beers on the menu. Central location. The homemade cheesecake was tasty and also great for sharing. Loved the pickle plate. Nice cut to richness of everything else.

It was probably the timing, food was good but sauce was a little thin. Drinks were delicious. Took extras of the cola home. There was an argument between staff that was a little loud, but they were all lovely.

What a treat! Stumbled in feeling a little lost and dishevelled after an early train journey to find ourselves among friendly faces and the most succulent smoked meat. Wife had a salad which she loved and the playlist was all hits. Travel fatigue cured. Thanks

Pablo “so you want to move because their are 3 of you and you don’t like your table “ Karen “yes, it’s horrible no one has come to serve us yet” Pablo “oh, where are you sitting” Karen - points Pablo “did you seat yourself?” Karen “well yes” Pablo “oh well, that’s why, you have to let us seat you, so someone would be assigned to your table, and you don’t skip in front of others (points at us sitting waiting patiently” Karen “well this is ridiculous, we had been waiting and no one came to seat us” Pablo “ma’am you’re welcome to leave if you don’t like it, but you sat yourself and skipped in front of others” Karen “what’s your name, this is ridiculous” Pablo “my name is Pablo” Karen leaves saying not nice things Nice work Pablo!! Nice work! Also the food is delicious and we were served promptly!

Absolutely amazing experience. The smoked meat was incredibly flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned, definitely one of the best I’ve had. The potato skins were crispy, loaded, and so satisfying, and the egg rolls were fresh, crunchy, and packed with flavor. Everything came out hot and delicious. Great food, generous portions, and a place I would happily come back to again. Highly recommend!

We’ve been hopping around looking for the best smoked meat in Montreal and this place takes the cake. It’s better than Reuben’s. We also had incredible service tonight from Steven. Friendly, funny, and genuinely made the experience even better. Thank you, Steven!

This restaurant was recommended by our hop on hop off bus tour guide so we were a little weary that it was a touristy place. We were so wrong. It was so good! The service was so fast, very friendly and the ambiance gives Cheers vibes. Everyone was happy with their food: kids chicken tenders, kids pizza, poutine, french onion soup, kids spaghetti, Thai chicken salad and the Dunn’s black cherry soda. Hearty portions too. Highly recommend for a nice variety of food options and some delicious Montreal specialties!

Food was kind of trash and we experience micro aggression while waiting for our take out order. Would definitely warn anyone of color to stay far away from this establishment though I don’t think they get many patrons of color anyway. While waiting for our to go order we were approached by a portly man who said he needed our chairs and told us to get up. As the only 2 black people in the establishment at the time, me and my mother were clearly targeted and it gave MAGA vibes. Hostess was nice to us but that’s about all I can say good about this place.

First visit to Montreal. Perfect spot for late night food! The burgers were absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The drink was easily one of the best I’ve had since visiting different places across Canada so far. On top of that, the customer service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to!

Smoked meat sandwich was amazing. Fries were meh - too soggy for my liking, but that’s not what I was there for anyway. The only negative was a guy working there named Tony. I was at the bar and he came up and started making inappropriate comments to a female coworker, who clearly was not appreciating it and asked him to stop multiple times. Made it really uncomfortable.

I humbly asked for a glass of hot water, but it was never brought to me. Meanwhile, my friend received his drink and was even asked whether he wanted another one. I was never asked again if I needed anything to drink. I’m not sure how to interpret this experience, but the service felt disappointing.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious smoked meat sandwich with a poutine, and we highly recommend it! Our daughter enjoyed a Caesar salad with grilled chicken and I was surprised to notice it even had capers, very well done!!! They serve Pepsi products, but some people like that option.
