Jarry Smoked Meat

So who goes to Montréal and DOES NOT try the Montréal smoked meat sandwich. Well apparently me. I’ve probably been to Montréal 10 times and NOT ONCE have I tried the Montréal smoked meat. Well finally 10 times in the making I was able to make it somewhere to have a real Montréal smoked meat sandwich. I ordered the Ruben. Super thick super big super filling sandwich. Juicy, tasty, messy. Everything you can possibly ask for in a sandwich. Fries were perfect, crispy and tasty. Service was fast and good. Jarry’s will be seeing me the next time im in Montréal 100%
Oh and its open 24 hours might I add. (DANGEROUS!!!)

Granted I DID walk in with some huge expectations and well — I was disappointed. What is the big deal? The smoked meat is OK (honestly it’s not much better than the packets you buy at the grocery store) and their fries are not too bad. I ordered extra-​lean and still got some awkwardly gummy parts to the meat. Their bread is stale. Isn’t smoked meat supposed to be enjoyed on soft thin bread? Toasted maybe but stale? I’ll pass.
The place itself smells strange (and not the mmm meat way). The furniture is seriously outdated. By outdated I mean half broken tables & ripped booths. I suppose it’s a good place to go to as a late night snack and like I said the fries are decent but this place really should not be anyone’s first choice (or 2^nd, or 3^rd).

Good smoked meat in the east end/​St Leonard area. We usually order the smoked meat poutine and the smoked meat platter — both are pretty good however they don’t compare to the smoked meat at Dunn’s or Reuben’s. I removed stars for the interior décor or rather lack thereof. Once inside you feel like you’re in the 70 – 80’s and not in a good way. Service is fast although quite dry. I have returned to this resto several times due to proximity, ease of parking and pretty decent food. It is one of the few 24h restaurants so convenient for those late night cravings.

Awesome jarry poutine is probably the best thing on the menu. Always good smoke meat can’t deny. Hours are unbeatable 24 hours. Desert kinda sucks, but I don’t know why you’d eat desert at a smoke meat house

Oh hell yes! This is where its at. The place for an instant cardiac arrest at the price of awesome great food. The poutine is worth the trip to the north-​east end of Montréal. This is a gem of gems.

Don’t go here if your are looking for fine dining. But if you are looking for no nonsense greasy spoon, try their smoked meat poutine, this is a great place & being opened 24hrs doesn’t hurt either.

J’ai apprécié mon sandwich! Service rapide et simple. J’aurais aimé que mes frites soient faites de pomme de terre fraîches au lieu de surgelées, mais elles étaient chaudes et cuites à points. Mon sandwich était goûteux et la portion était adéquate, tranche épaisseur et plutôt cuit vapeur que fumé ce qui lui procure une texture humide plutôt que sèche. J’ai toujours ma préférence en matière de viande fumée. Mais je peux dire que j’ai apprécié min repas et que je retournerais sans hésiter à ce restaurant

Went to this spot on a recommendation from my boss. Even though it’s far from downtown, it’s open 24 hours and getting their smoked meat platter and special Jarry poutine, it’s to die for. My only gripe is that it looks dated and the coleslaw I had wasn’t too great but that a pretty minor, will hit this place up more often when I visit Montréal.

Avec un ambiance et un look style restaurant des années 90, Jarry smoked meat vous charmera avec ses serveuses matantes aux voix mielleuses.
Prenez un bon smoked meat rempli de réconfort et né faites pas vos fines bouches. ;)

Nous y avons pris 2 poutines à emporter, une avec smoked meat, l’autre au bacon. La sauce et l’accompagnement etait bon, en revanche les frites n’était vraiment pas à la hauteur (molle et sans gout). Ce n’est pas une adresse que je recommanderais pour la poutine, peut etre pour la smoked meat, mais je né suis pas assez connaisseur sur ce point.

The food is okay but nothing to write home about. The main appeal of this place is that it’s open 24 hours so it’s a good place to go after you’ve been drinking all night for a dose of greasy food. There is also a special on the smoked meat the first Tuesday of every month.

Awesome!!! Best smoke meat in Montréal!!! Try the Poutine Jarry Poutine!!! It’s to die For !!! Service is great!!! $$$$ is good & open ²⁴⁄₂₄

Ouais bon… Grand fan de smoked meat, j’avais le goût d’essayer ce soi disant haut lieu du smoked meat de Montréal. J’y ai été amèrement déçu.
Premièrement, quand tu sens que tu dérange la serveuse en voulant placé une commande, ça commence mal. Elle prend ma commande comme si je lui annonçait une visite chez le dentiste. Bahh… que je me suis dit… Elle a eut une mauvaise journée, je vais me régaler de ce smoket meat légendaire. Comme dirait nos amis anglo: Wrong again. Le smoked-​meat est relativement sans goût, si ce n’est celui d’une viande qui a peut être un peu trop veilli, les frites sont tristes et froides et je n’ai pas osé toucher la salade de choux. Quand on pense au choix que l’on a à Montréal pour le smoked-​meat, Jarry Smoked meat n’est vraiment pas à la hauteur.

Peu importe l’heure de la journée, j’ai toujours aimé ce qu’on m’a servi chez Jarry.

je vais a ce restaurant depuis mai 1973 (39 ans). c’est tout simplement le meilleur endroit pour manger du smoked meat. j’ai essaye plusieurs endroits mais jarry reste le meilleur.

OMG!!! How has no one ever reviewed this place! This has been a landmark for decades!!! Open 24/​7, the place eastern Montrealers go after a night of debauchery!
Though this place is dated, & the waitresses are as old as the hills, I still had to give it a 4 star rating. I guess cause of nostalgia. Oh, and their smoked meat poutine freakin rocks!
The sauce on this poutine is dark, thick and salty! It’s old school sauce you can hardly find anymore. I love it, and though they use grated mozzarella instead of curd cheese, it just really works. Then add on the moist, juicy smoked meat on top and HEAVEN ON EARTH.
The other things to try are the smoked meat pizza and the midnight specials, huge burgers on kaiser buns, and wraps with a side of poutine.
This place is a dive but one of those good old fashion dives we can’t help but love.
Try it out, let me know what you think.
