Amazing smoked meat sandwich, went there for the first time last night, people at the counter were super nice, asked for fat smoked meat plate and it was soo good! Melt in your mouth! They also had Cott black cherry which is really rare. Definitely in the top places!

This place felt like stepping into a true local gem. Their smoked meat? Juicy, tender, and everything you’d hope for in a classic Montreal-style bite What truly stood out were the massive portions. No one at the table could finish their plate, and for the price we paid, it was more than worth it The food was so delicious that we couldn’t resist coming back for more especially their handmade pizza. Check the description for what else we tried on our next visit! Jarry Smoked Meat is a must-try if you’re looking for authentic Québécois flavors with portions that will fill you up. Meals we had: - Sandwich à la viande fumée Géant (Servi avec frites, cornichons et salade de chou) - Sous-marin Jarry avec viande fumée - Assiette de (2) souvlakis au poulet (servi avec salade, riz et patates) - Crevettes papillon (servi avec salade, riz et patates) - Pizza toute garnie (sauce tomate assaisonnée, fromage, pepperoni champignons et poivrons verts) 24”

Delicious!! My friend told me about this spot when I wanted to get a smoked meat sandwich and holy moly this hit the spot! I especially liked that my server asked me if I wanted lean, medium, or fatty cuts of meat in my sandwich. I know fat is where the flavour is, but I like lean lol they also happily accommodated my very limited French. I absolutely recommend you try this place!

I liked my giant smoked meat sandwich . It’s a bit expensive these days but was is not ? 24$ ! On the good side , I was no longer hungry after eat in my plate !

★★★

First time eating here. Heard many positive reviews. Unfortunately our experience wasn’t great and we won’t be back. Our usual spots for smoked meat are Schwartz and Dunns and for our taste Jarry doesn’t compare. We were seated at a booth next to a window with a sill full of dirt, dead flies and live tiny fruit flies in our faces. The place needs serious freshening up. Our waitress was a 10 star service!

Food is DELICIOUS, FRESH, DESSERT TO DIE FOR. SMOKE MEAT ON POINT. PORTIONS PERFECT, PIZZA, Onignon soup amazing. Service fast, friendly and efficient. Forgot to add the pickles are crunchy, sweet hmmm, Coleslaw feels homemade.

Five of us went there for dinner last night. Their smoked meat was absolutely spectacular. Highly recommend it. The hamburger was terrific as well. The pizza was good, but not quite as good as I had hoped. The rest (we also got poutine, Caesar salad, and butterfly shrimp) were just average. Then we tried 3 of their desserts: strawberry cheesecake (terrific), caramel carrot cheesecake (good), and sugar pie (stale and not good at all). Good service overall, they were very accommodating for our large group.

I am a former regular customer of this restaurant. Obviously he has lost feathers. The only smiling person in the place is the man who greets us at the door. Then we come across two young people, a boy and a girl at the counter who look at us askance, we have the misfortune of asking them questions, it bothers them... The photos of the menu and what you receive are 2 things . We ordered 3 smoked meat sandwiches and 1 small fries, $60. Arriving home there was one sandwich that had enough meat, the other 2 were barely 1 inch high and meat right in the center. This will be the last time for me. We couldnt eat there, I had a person in a wheelchair with me. Impossible to drive in front with the trucks parked there. Wheelchair accessibility: They have 1 or more places for the disabled. I couldnt even get in front of it, pick-ups were blocking my access. I had to take to bring.

What can I say... My expectations werent very high... But wow! Best smoke meat Ive ever eaten! Hands down! Im 5 min away from Smoke Meat Petes and Id drive the hour to eat at Jarry. Its that good. Side note, my kids took the poutine that is served with shredded mozzarella (no curds here) and that Poutine was on point! Last point, the manager was super nice but our waitress seemed bothered by us (2 adults, 4 kids).

November 23, 2024

The food was good just overpriced, don t have bbq sauce, and they scammed me by tipping themselves and took my last 30$. I m never coming back again because I got scammed and the food and service is horrible. Service

Very high prices AND reduced quantity in addition: A smoked meat sandwich is made barely 2 inches of meat in width but pounded very high, thinking that we wont notice... Even the waitress thought it didnt look good but the owners are not never there,,, Keep going and the restaurant will reduce as much as your smoked meat!

Very disappointed with the Smoke Meat restaurant which is based on its legendary reputation, for my very first experience I was disappointed by the quality of the food, I have already eaten a better Smoke Meat in a fast food restaurant in a Belle Province and the fries tasted like frozen products.... in short, its not worth the detour Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot full of potholes

I ordered a ground beef spaghetti for 25$ that tasted like a Catelli sauce from the can they heated up . Also a smoke meat sandwich that costed 20$ .. the food quality went down yet the prices sky rocketed . Only good thing is the manger is friendly . I m wondering if the reviews that the food in this restaurant is good is a legit one . I used to come here years ago , the food isn t what it was .

I am really disappointed with my experience at the smoked meat restaurant. The waitress, France, seemed in a bad mood as soon as we arrived. Unfortunately, it only got worse when she made a mistake on our bill. Instead of simply correcting the situation, she blamed us for not warning her sooner. His attitude was rude and unprofessional which ruined our meal. I would not recommend this restaurant because of this disappointing service.

16 year old client 3rd time For 1 year No good service Unpleasant and stupid waitress. Prices have increased enormously. I understand because of all the inflation but Even for a snack $30 for a plate of rosé pasta.. Whats more Serving him as an unpleasant waitress I hadnt finished my plate And she brings me the invoice and the machine already ready for payment, Without asking me if I want anything else (dessert, coffee, etc.) or even if Im paying cash. It was only 6:30 p.m. Restaurant not overloaded with customers The close up is at 10-11pm in the evening MTNT. Plus Im still sitting and I didnt even have time to put my remaining in the box to bring the rest, she cleaned my table quickly, I didnt have time to get my detailed receipt. When I mention it to her, she responds Ill have the data. Even after explaining how to pick it up by cleaning my table before I finished with it. I need it for my company. In short, She responds to me with an attitude as if Im bothering her. When I was very kind to and polite Even after his service. I was supposed to bring for my partner A dish but She was very quick to Im leaving, I didnt order for To Go. Very disappointed with the service and management of the restaurant. Unfortunately, to have a service As this has several occasions and price side Im not going back

I gave her a 12% tip, I wanted to tip 0%, but still, she almost snatched the payment machine out of my hands. This is not the first time that this same lady has offered me lousy service like that. I dont want her to serve me again if I come back to eat here one day. Prices have increased significantly and the service is not up to par. I paid $5 for a ridiculous portion of fries.

As an American unfamiliar with smoked meats, I decided to try Jarry Smoked Meats in Montreal, and it was a fantastic experience. The smoked meat sandwich, reminiscent of a really good corned beef sandwich, was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. The service was warm and homely, giving off a classic diner vibe that made us feel right at home.One delightful surprise was that they also serve beer, which perfectly complemented the meal. Jarry Smoked Meats is a place I highly recommend, especially to fellow Americans looking to try something new and delicious in Montreal.
