this is definitely the best smoked meat you'll ever taste. if you like Schwartz's style smoked meat then you'll love this, same great taste but you don't have to go downtown.

Food. Smoked meat only. Asked for between lean and medium fat. It was very very dry. I was there at about 3:00 ish during the week and non one was in the restaurant. They sliced the meat promptly and I asked for a slice and tasted it, it was completely dry. This was right out of the steamer. I honestly stated it tasted very dry and they didn’t say anything. I really wanted to return the meat as I knew the rest would also be beyond dry.
Service. Reasonably decent. There is a bit of a chip on the shoulders of the two fellows who were service as it was not a very welcoming reception at all.
Atmosphere. Basic deli nothing fancy at all. It is clean.
So I have eaten here years back shortly after the opened and it was pretty good. Their fries were nice as was the smoked meat.
So when I was in the area I thought it was safe to say that I’d stop by and bring back some fresh hot sliced classic Smokey meat with a rye bread for dinner.
When I arrived at home we immediately opened the container and did not hold back. We each took a slice and happily placed it in our mouths to devour with pleasure. Sadly this did not happen as planned.
First the meat was super dry beyond belief and only mayonnaise (not me) was able to make it somewhat palatable from a texture perspective. The other thing we were able to notice was the changes in colour of the sliced of the brisket. What I have experienced is that when a brisket is not fresh, meaning it has been reheated in the steamer more than once, like the following day or for a prolonged time, this change in colour happens. To me this confirmed that the meat they served was not up to par with previous experiences. The second issue was the taste. Aside from being overly salty (I am a salt fanatic so this means it’s really salty), not to the point of being inedible, but so much so that all the flavour is salt. This moves us to the next IMPORTANT point - the taste. I’m sure everyone has enjoyed the classic taste of Rubens, Lester’s, Shwartzes, Dunns, and of course (Ben’s from years past) and the likes of classic smoker meat places in Montreal. Well this smoked meat did not taste nor smell like any of them - not even remotely. It’s not that it’s bad per se, it’s more like a let down as (like everyone) I wanted a Montreal smoked meat taste experience. I found out that they smoke their own meats in house. Perhaps their recipe is different? I do t know nor do I honestly care, what I do care about is keeping up the traditions flavour of Montreal smoked meat. Perhaps Montreal needs to install a standards certificate like Italy does with its cheese and France did with its wines etc. I would never call this smoked meat, smoker brisket yeah - but that’s it.
So, I’m truly sorry to say that I am honestly unable to suggest eating here as I will not be returning either.
This is not person and perhaps my decades of eating smoker meat has hit a new standard that a “cut above the rest”, but I do believe that I’m quite certain the couple of pounds I bought and had freshly sliced hot out of the steamer were definitely not up to the Montreal standard of smoked meat.

Overall good experience. Had the smoked meat sandwich plate. Generous portions. Smoke meat taste was decent. Quiet and very clean seating areas. Was a bit pricier than expected cause the menu screenshots uploaded are old, but not more than most other places- cost me $30 for the plate and a canned drink.

Very very good smoked meat and fries, was there a couple of hours ago, definitely one of my best spots in Laval. Prices are similar to other places. They was a fat smoked meat sandwich, the fat isn't hard, it melts, absolutely delicious 🤤 always!
Honestly I had try this spot due to the pictures in all the other reviews.
Super tender, juicy and fully loaded sandwiches.
This is the real deal! I will be returning soon,

Really disappointed. Usually get the Reubens and Jumbo. Rubens bread was soggy and wet from the fat or the sauerkraut. The meat had no taste this time. I had ordered three times. This will be my last. Sorry but I’m out REALLY not satisfied with my meal.

If you like Schwartz's Deli you will love george's. They're Almost identical. Medium fat sandwich is the move. Get the plate served with fries, coleslaw and a pickle. Reasonably priced for quantity and quality. 8.5/10

Smoked Meat made and Smoked inhouse. Just as good as that other place and no crazy line ups. George's son's run the restaurant. Nice guys. The sandwich was stacked !!!

Oh my god, have a medium fat sandwich and simply enjoy! The sandwich is filled with more meat than competition, the flavors are very very similar to Schwartz's. I couldn't have guessed blindly. The good news is that I don't have to go to Montreal anymore :) Friendly staff!
