unfortunately overhyped. i was super excited to come try this place, but unfortunately paid 90+ for barely seasoned steak. there’s very little seating place, a long waiting line and no washroom available. (i’d give 3 1/2 star overall) i’d recommend the other dishes, you can get better steak fries in montreal.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Pinnacle Wagyu. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the food. Pinnacle Wagyu is primarily a grab-and-go deli style spot, which is why the concept is more casual and fast-paced. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the cutlery and will take it into consideration. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

We kept hearing some variation of “the best Wagyu deli in Montreal,” which immediately raised an important question: are there actually enough, or any, Wagyu delis in Montreal to make this a competitive category? (If so, genuinely, can the aforementioned influencers please enlighten me? I’m interested.) Anyway, setting aside the dramatic clickbait titles and glowing slow-motion steak videos, we skipped the famous Wagyu-and-fries situation (Steak Frites "On the Road"). Partly because I don’t particularly like fries 🤷‍♂️ and partly because I wanted a sandwich. Also, I'm not sure if it's there as a joke or for price anchoring, but the idea of a $150 Kobe steak option being on the menu of a mostly takeout sandwich counter raises many philosophical questions... Instead, we went with the Pinnacle Cheesesteak, which was apparently one of their most recommended items. First, if cheese was present, it was very subtle—we didn't taste it at all. What absolutely did show up was the steak. A lot of it. I definitely got my 20$ worth on that. You mostly taste beef, a vaguely savory sauce, and admittedly solid bread holding everything together pretty well. (Bread is important.) For what it is, it's alright. It’s well located for tourists and locals roaming around the historic area, the portions are good enough, and the pricing feels pretty aligned with other trendy sandwich spots in the city. No major complaints there. But does it live up to the hype? No, not even close. I think that says more about the marketing style than the food itself, though.

This place is great! I've had the Cheesesteak and the Animal Style fries, and haven't been disappointed. Plus, the ambiance and vibe is right up my alley. Don't forget to order the house lemonade, it will hit the spot with your meal 😁

seen this place on tiktok and wanted to try, it looks appealing so i went there with my boyfriend. The whole place smelled disgusting like greasy parmasean so i felt sceptical. My gut instinct was right, when i tried the steak it was CHEWY.. too chewy and it just taste bad, extremely over hyped. the only good this was the sauce.. not even the fries or the steak that i’ve been wanting to try.. very disappointed, save your money and don’t be like me and waste your money.

why do you have a number if you never answer on it? This restaurant is now based on ego after having the fame! to be avoided!

We’re sorry if you were unable to reach us. If we don’t always answer right away, it’s simply because we are often very busy on-site serving our customers. At Pinnacle Wagyu, our priority is providing the best experience in person, which can sometimes limit our availability by phone during peak hours. Thank you for your understanding.

I tried their steak frites. It was really delicious. The fries had a nice seasoning on it and the meat was tender. I also tried their passion fruit lemonade which was quite refreshing. There are tables for you to sit and eat.

Very unprofessional service from the cashier. At first, he told me to wait 5 minutes. I said no problem and waited outside. After 5 minutes, I came back, and while speaking with him, more time passed. When I asked again if the order was ready, he said “another 5 minutes.” I pointed out that he had already said 5 minutes earlier, and now it was another 5 minutes, but he just tried to ignore me. I understand that during rush hour delays can happen, but making someone wait unnecessarily during peak time is not acceptable. He could have been honest from the beginning and said it would take longer, so I could plan accordingly. He ended up wasting around 10–12 minutes of my time during a busy period.

Finding a place like this in Old Montreal was truly a surprise. Honestly, everything was far beyond my expectations. The space is small but has a cozy atmosphere. The service was also quite fast. The prices are a bit high, but they’re definitely worth it for the quality. Overall, I was very satisfied. I will definitely come back.

I enjoyed the taste of their steak, especially the fries. The steak was tender, but they didn’t ask about your preferred level of doneness. While the overall food quality was good, we were disappointed with the portion size and price. Another thing to consider is that they don’t serve you, and they use disposable plates. This might affect your decision on whether to tip. Finally, the utensils weren’t suitable for eating the steak or even the fries. The fork and knife were useless for either.

Went on a friday night and the line up was very long - but for good reason! The food was absolutely delicious and service was fast once you placed your order. A little difficult to find a seat when busy but we managed. Delish!

I recently tried Pinnacle Wagyu and had a really great experience overall. I ordered the On the Road Wagyu and really enjoyed it. It wasn’t the most tender Wagyu I’ve had, but it was still incredibly flavorful and genuinely delicious, the taste definitely stood out. The truffle fries were also amazing and paired really well with the meal. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. There was a bit of a wait as the restaurant was quite busy, which is understandable given how popular it’s been getting online. I can definitely empathize with the staff; they handled everything professionally despite the rush. Overall, I was really impressed and would absolutely go back again soon !!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Pinnacle Wagyu. We are sincerely sorry for the disappointment this situation caused. Yesterday evening we unfortunately sold out earlier than expected due to a much higher volume of customers than we anticipated. Because all of our food is prepared with fresh ingredients — including bread delivered daily and fresh meat — we maintain limited quantities to ensure quality. Once the products prepared for the day are sold out, we are unfortunately no longer able to take additional orders. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been after driving from Laval, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience this caused.

The waguy was very chewy and cut into super big pieces. We waited almost 20 minutes to get the order. The fries were good but I would not go back.
