FOOD: clam chowder over salted Mushroom burger, hardly any mushrooms, served on mushy buns and one good size patty would do, no need for 2 thin ones that slides off. SERVICE: awful, our server was frustrated, manager came to see us twice if we had paid while we were still eating. We ( a group og 9) are being kicked out. DON'T OVER BOOK AMBIANCE: NOT IMPRESSED. Kept on being bumped by waiters and busboys In other words Don't go there, WE SURE WON'T read more

Robbie's Smokehouse is a fun place to go if you like BBQ and all american style eats. I heard some great things about their burgers and large portions so I was really excited to come here last Saturday. We were a group a of 4 and arrived around 5:30pm. The place was already packed, although it has 2 floors I think the upper floor is only used for special events. We were told it could be a 45 min wait but luckily the manager later helped us get a table within minutes. This seems to be a very popular place in town so if you are coming on a weekend make sure to reserve. Robbie's looks like a modern steakhouse/sports bar. There's a big bar in the middle of the restaurant with lots of stool seating and the rest of the tables include some really comfortable sofa type chairs. They have a cool Facebook "likes" counter on the wall that spins in real time whenever someone likes their Facebook page which I thought was a good way to promote themselves. There's a big American flag painting on another wall which is a nice ode to traditional American bbq eats. Our group sampled the steak nachos (gigantic whopping portion that easily serves a meal, not an appetizer), the meat platters which has a mix of brisket, pulled pork, chicken and ribs, along with the mac and cheese and standard sides like fries, coleslaw, mashed potatoes. The chicken and meats were really tender and juicy however we found that the ribs kind of taste like regular smoked ham which was kind of disappointing. The steak nachos were delicious, the portion was huge and there was enough nacho cheese for each bite which is amazing because restaurants often lack toppings but this was overwhelmingly awesome. The only drawback was the extra charge for sour cream, whether you want some for your $20 nachos or for your baked potato, this sets you back an extra $1.75. I've dined in so many other steakhouses and restaurants that do not charge for this extra so I find that a little cheap for Robbie's. Further, there are no free refills on fountain sodas and certain items like the mac and cheese or sides were quite small. For example the coleslaw came in a tiny plastic cup that was enough for 3 or 4 bites only. Cabbage is something that really doesn't cost much, I think if they're going to serve my meal in a huge fancy square plate, they should have made more of an effort to fill it. For a restaurant that constantly advertises themselves on Facebook with a slogan of "GO BIG OR GO HOME", I was expecting larger portions but the only large plate was the nachos. Main meals were average sized and fairly priced considering there are no taxes but this is in no way comparable to the portion or service you'd get in the states if you were hoping for American dining. If you enjoy a massive food challenge, they do offer a giant burger, fries and pitcher of beer deal for around $120 dollars- if you're able to finish it, it's free. Although the regular portions are not as gigantic as they made it seem, the food was still excellent, I enjoyed every item I ordered and I would consider coming back for their Sunday all-you-can-eat brunch or just to try their deluxe burgers. The menu was extensive and very appetizing. Bonus, lots, lots of free parking and free wifi. read more

I'm a fan of Kahnawake and supporting places here Would love to give this 5 stars, but really can't, that is clear I've been here twice, both for birthday partys And while the first visit was great, the second was shoddy Taxes are included so the price isn't that bad But some of the items prices made me quite mad The first time I came, I had the avocado salad With goat cheese and chicken so satisfied my palate Upon my return they now charge four dollars more And less of the quantity they offered before So on the 2nd visit I ordered some tacos Served with moldy cheese- which was quite the shock-o! We had waited so long for the food to arrive I scraped off the cheese and scarfed all 3 live! I did let them know, and they ended up comping my plate And the fried dill pickles I also ordered were absolutely great The service was long, but friendly at least Still part of the reason my opinion decreased That and the cheese because c'mon man, that's lame To serve rotten food even when comping it, is a shame But it's nice and it's cozy with its' wooden decor So I'd be willing to come here at least just once more -------- Installment 31 poetry reviews I want to like this place more, but I can't. At first they tried to still charge me 1/2 price for the tacos since I ate them... But i was starving by that point! I didn't argue or say I was upset and our waiter said they decided not to charge at all for the tacos (I still paid for my wine and fried pickle side, which I agree with) before bringing our bills, so ultimately I decided it is worth giving them another try. But I still can't give them higher than 3 stars for now. 'Cause...why and how was the cheese moldy in the 1st place...and how did it end up past several employees and in front of a customer? And how could you even fathom charging me at all for it? And why didn't the manager/owner or chef come to apologize? Though I appreciated how our waiter handled it it wasn't his fault or responsibility to deal with that. Also I found the price increase on the wine to be quite exaggerated. (When you charge me more than half the price of the bottle itself at the SAQ for 1 measely cheap pour glass...no. You upset me.) Not to mention the selection limited and poorly chosen for a steak house (with a few exceptions, I'll admit). But damn, those pickles were good! X-D read more

Interesting story; we met the owner and his finance of Robbie's Smokehouse on vacation in Puerto Vallarta. As one week vacations go, you make friends but usually never see them again...! Well, not this time as our visit to Montreal we were able to go and experience this smokehouse restaurant in kawanahke. The place is nicely decorated with the rugged look of a smokehouse complimented by flatscreens and a full bar. We got the; * Jack burger 5 stars big and tasty meat * Lunch smokehouse sandwich 4 stars not enough smoky flavor or taste * Beet salad 4 stars too much red onion not enough beets (suggestion add some yellow and white beets) * Lunch rib and chicken combo 4 stars ribs were good chicken just ok * The coleslaw is too vinegary, served in a plastic container (should be switched it to a porcelain cup) * Fries were good with just amount of seasoning * If you like red ale beers, get the Ridgeback Service 5 stars Food 4 stars good but room for improvement Ambiance 5 stars Price 5 stars Overall experience 5 stars Although Chad was not in town the day we stopped by, but we weren't disappointed having lunch there. Too bad we didn't get to see our friend. Till next time... The Real Foodie Gone smokehouse read more

I've heard some good things about this place sad that I can't fully agree with others. Upon arrival the hostess tells us we need to check in our coats at coat check because there's no space left. Once we get seated at the table we notice that everyone else has their coats on their chairs. There were even hooks at the back to hang your things,so not sure why we were obliged to check in our jackets. We started with steak nachos,beef wrapped in bacon, cheese sausage dip and a clam chowder soup. The entrees were DELICIOUS! So much flavour, not overly salty and the clam chowder had actual chunks of seafood pieces. We ordered 2 bottles of wine averagely priced, a cocktail called Khaleesi (taste just like a mojito with less mint). Once the main course arrived that's when things went from delicious to mediocre. Lobster was good, the 911 burger with 4 patties was very dry, not spicy (they use Franks red hot sauce). My Go big burger was good but very very oily, I had to dab it with a napkin. Steaks were average. We asked for medium well they gave us medium, it was too bloody for the person. Good service,waiter was very attentive asked if we were celebrating anything,he brought a cake with a candle bc it was someone's birthday. Overall it was ok,really good starts main course is meh. Not sure if I would comeback. Pros: ITS TAX FREE!! read more

Went in for my boyfriend's birthday and the service was great. We had plenty of options to choose from on the menu and was very satisfied with my pulled porc poutine. I wish I had gotten something smaller, because it got a little soggy and cold by half of it. read more

Reviews got us excited . Well bad attitude and service is slow and terrible. Order pork rib special Looked create tasted great .. then cut into centre it was layered in fat.. 2/3 was just fat. See attached picture . The waiter was shown the food and told us that nothing he could do since we ate part of it, the manger told us that he would give us a free desert. When asked to replace it he said no Overpriced for the quality and bad service Do not waste your time or money better BBQ places in Montreal and Laval . Love Social media where you get the opportunity to share honest feedback read more

Great food and service. The Place was packed and we had to wait even with a reservation.

WHY a 2 STAR it wasn't because of the food it was a manager. Yesterday thought I would go for a nice couple supper, the waiter was amazing the food was amazing.. BUT the manager and the way he addressed his employees in front of us to hear, walking around and dictating in a loud voice, while we are trying to enjoy our supper. Yelling from one end to the BAR on the task to do, talking down to his employees. It was a mood breaker, so unpleasant. read more

Nice restaurant very polite staff. The food is not bad as well. I didn't like that many of the staff didn't wear masks. I had asked our waiter if this was normal and if he could do anything about it. He said he'd speak to them. The bus boy kept his mask on after that while another waiter put it on for like 5 minutes and then his nose started poking out or it was on his chin. I go to restaurants because there is a vaccination passport but when staff is like this I won't be going back for awhile. Other members of the staff were really cool I hate to give a review like this read more

I've always been a fan of this place but today I got takeout and for the price I was soO disappointed! Bill was 91$ for a salad, 2 fries and a platter for one. the platter for one was $46, alone and I swapped my 2 sides for Mac and cheese and that costed me an extra $7. The portion was less than a child portion (about 1/4 of the styrofoam container, less than half of a restaurant portion when you eat there). I don't mind paying for quality food but this was a total waste of money! Also ordered 2 fries on the side and paid 12$ and only for one! Just so disappointed! read more

Not the best go to the rail more friendly and less of a wait and more properly staffed, been here a few time with friends and honestly its a hit or miss more of a miss than a hit, i.e yelling managers, managers in the morning walking around no mask, kitchen yelling, people waiting in front kitchen very rude to waiters, long wait for food. Just in general do not at all cost is t near the kitchen, what you hear from the people will make you not want to go their again. But the upsides are great portions, and some very sweet female older waiters read more

The food was good overpriced. The service was terrible. We were a group of 38, so were were seated upstairs and we did not have the option of the full menu. No problem, we were given 5 choices of the main course only. As for the entree, no choice, cream of Mushroom soup. All the guest were seated by 7:00, we started receiving our food at 8:50. We were obligated to pay even before our orders were taken. Since we were a group it was a set fee of $42. Whether we had the chicken or roast beef. Not fair. It was for a 75th Birthday, so you can imagine the age group, by 8:00, I ask for bread and was told "you will get it with you soup" not happy, as for water, not at the table. If we wanted water we had to go to the bar for it. Beware.... read more

Was there last night (Saturday) at 5 pm and they were out of short ribs????? Very disappointed. Food was ok. Overpriced.

Amazing food and excellent service. The name of the place is actually Robbies smokehouse and burger bar. If you like smoked meats they have a variety of choices like smoked chicken, brisket, prime rib, pulled pork and more! The head chef has a great reputation in the city and is often employeed to do openings fornew restaurants Canada wide. He is recognized for being innovative and extremely passionate with food. 5 stars for Robbies located right next to playground poker club read more
