The sandwiches are delicious, but the customer service is top-tier. Everyone in there is super personable and asking questions! I would definitely recommend this spot! We got the Wilensky special and the old fashioned cherry cola, it was so good!

Very good as always. This place is a staple of Montreal and the Mile end. Everything is nearby. I usually park wherever i can and get a special here, go get a coffee nearby, get some bagels nearby and then go home. Make a nice afternoon out of it

Very nostalgic and very friendly staff. We got their famous cherry cola and wilenaky special. For 2 people it's coated only 17$. The whole place was such a vibe and so many memories 💯

Good, simple food at a good price in an extraordinary setting; what's not to love? The special sandwich with cheese and pickles with a cherry soda. Incredible. I highly recommend this spot for a perfectly satisfying lunch, and a trip back in time as you sit at the counter and take it all in.

Weird place and service. I tried their most popular food and I founded really odd or should I say it is just a regular sandwich. I can make a better sandwich at home. The whole family from like 2-3 generations is standing in front of you and watching (5 people)eating made me feel uncomfortable. Being looked at while you're eating from a bunch of people like they are about to gossip about you, dressed like they're going to camping. The staff should dressed appropriately. Like many other over rated restaurants, don't know how they got so many likes?

Food was delicious, and the atmosphere was incredible because you really feel in old times, but the lady was rude and it look she just want us to leave. We spoke french and English so It wasn't about language and the place wasn't busy at all. So she should be more friendly as her daughter that she was laughing with some clients.

This sandwich shop has been here since 1932, truly an iconic Montreal food spot. I got the Wilensky Special which is an all-beef salami & bologna sandwich with Swiss cheese. It was simple and delicious. I love how they still do the coco cola from scratch which is a craft that’s hardly seen anymore except in old diners.

Authentic 1930s diner. Don't expect gourmet food, it isn't that sort of place. Order the Special, I had it with cheddar cheese and loved it. All the staff very friendly.

It's a meaty sandwich and it's cheap. It tastes delicious in a nostalgic way. They have been serving the same style sandwich for almost 100 years so just try it.

Loved Wilensky's - everything about it! The sandwich and pickles were excellent and the staff and atmoshere were too. We enjoyed walking there from downtown and we look forward to going back the next time we are in Montreal.

Great place. Seems like nothing has changed in there since the 50s. Their sandwich is pretty great for how simple it is. Their sodas are pretty great, too. They also sell t-shirts.
