Every time we wandered past, it was full to the brim and on our last of 3 days in Old Montreal, we managed to squeeze ourselves in. What a great tiny spot full of atmosphere, great staff and wonderful smells wafting from the kitchen. We ordered the traditional smoked meat sandwich and onions rings (massive order) of which we split to eat. Over the top delicious and would highly recommend. We sat at the window and were able to watch the people wander past and enjoy the open windows and fresh air.

Really friendly & fast service. We tried the smoked meat sandwich, shared the poutine, both were really good. We each also had a beer.

All the food we tried here was absolutely delicious! More importantly, the staff was incredibly attentive and kind. Big thank you to Theo and Jeff who made our experience worthwhile, we will definitely be going back the next time we're in Montreal!

The food wasn’t very good and the prices were too high. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for quality smoked meat!

On the last day of a bachelorette trip, we explored Old Montreal and stumbled upon Franklins. The space was eclectic with such a great atmosphere. There were 13 of us, and the food came out incredibly fast, every single one of us was obsessed with how good everything tasted (their cheesy burger tastes like shake shack). Beyond the amazing service, I unfortunately left my wallet at the restaurant and didn’t realize until I was already back in Toronto. Theo and Jeff went above and beyond to track me down and ship it back to me. I’ve rarely experienced that level of care and kindness. I’m so grateful!

We are locals and this was our first time there. The inside is cleverly decorated and fun. We were greeted right away by a young man that seems to do everything with warmth and a smile. We sat at the window. He guided us with his menu knowledge and we ordered a delicious sub with lotsa meat and cheese, poutine and fried pickles. Sub Philly cheese steak 10/10 Poutine 8/10. ( more cheese under plzz) Fried pickles 8/10 needs a new dip Service 10/10 Food is flying out of the kitchen 10/10 Bathrooms needs upgrading Next time we’re trying the smoked meat ! Would highly recommend ! Need more/better desserts

Hate the way they changed the montreal smoked meat sandwich. Was much better when it was on a sub and toasted.

Place was packed. Perfect location for lunch after visiting the museum. Being a good dad I waited for a table and enjoyed a pint at the bar while kids looked at nearby shops. Food was great. Best cheese steak I’ve had. Atmosphere was relaxed and exciting at the same time. Enjoyed some local guys singing along to country songs at the bar. Would go again.
