Pea soup

Amazing service amazing food surprised how fast it was. Wait can be long but it's ok they text u when it's your turn. A bit noisy but nice decor. They have private too For group if needed. No reservations.

It's been a wile since I been In the neighborhood. Decided to stop in and trail this place. The place was jammed packed but was able to get a place at the bar. There is tons of parking and public transportation. I stated off with the chili. This was one of the best chilis I had. Full of meat and beans seasoned just right. It's was spicy but not to spicy. I Will go back just for the chili. Next up was the hamburger steak. It looked like they took a burger party and mashed it up. The part was good and the sauce was nice as well. I had the side Cesar salad. It was bland and lack any taste. I would go back for the Chili and will try the steak next time

"Philly" steak poutine, friend chicken dumplings, and club sandwich with salad
Kylee B.

We stopped here for the wide variety of choices on the menu. That was our mistake. It looked like a fancy steakhouse when we walked in, but the decor was Chinese lanterns above the cooks making pizza? And the music was club music, probably because the restaurant is attached to a casino, so I just didn't understand what vibe they were going for. We had 2 different servers, still not sure who got our tip. The food came out within 10 minutes and was extremely meh. I had Philly steak poutine and he had a club sandwich. Both very forgettable. I was very hungry so it served its purpose but overall I would not eat here again.

Fried Chicken and Chorizo with Cesar side salad...fabulous!!! 17$

I seriously adore this place. The food is always delicious! Always made perfectly! Always served quickly!! And prices include taxes. The selection is always fantastic too...though they have yet again changed up their menu a bit so now some of my favorites have disappeared. (For example The Rail Shepherd's Pie: Gone! Fried chicken with chorizo: Gone! Spinach dip: Gone! Mexican poutine: Gone!) but still some reliable faves on the menu: indian taco, avocado wrap, the rail burger, the pizzas... Which i highly recommend, especially the Indian Taco! Also, lookin forward to trying their new pork chop plate n their new black bean dip appetizer! I love that they are open 24h! I love the decoration and the ambiance, it's like a chameleon restaurant: it can be what u need it to be. Example: on a date night? All the sudden the place feels nice n classy... Just wana come out for some wings n football? Now it's a sports bar! Family reunion? Now it's a reception hall! The high ceilings and gigantic poker hall adjacent make it sound a little echo-ey in here but this ends up being a good thing for 2 reasons: 1- You can tune in and out of the music playing depending on if u like the song quite easily. 2- It makes it so even if ur sitting quite close to other patrons u can't much hear their conversations. Just fyi: poker players eat free here, and from my understanding, as much as they want. I come here often for breakfast (which is the best breakfast anywhere!) with friends and family: this place has gotten ridiculously popular for breakfast (with good reason) so try and reserve in advance. They're busy too around dinner time, but quiet back down around 10pm ish. So if ur lookin for a nice quiet meal i suggest after 10pm. The new menu seems to suggest they're falling into a bit of a hipster vibe...but i expect this will be a temporary fad. Definitely recommend!! Will keep comin back! Again n again n again!

Late night munchies on the reserve yeah

A real bargain for midnight upscale munchies. In a crunch, why would anyone go to La Banquise 24H when you have this? The Diablo Calamari ($9) with bell peppers and onions in a tomato sauce was A1. Amazing flavour combination. The burger was less impressive though: a little over-salted and sausage-like. Very generous plate though with a good amount of salad that isn't calorie-filled. The casino-level service was impeccable, and so was the atmosphere. Mohawk territory so no taxes. Potential for a 5-star, contingent on a good main dish which I'll surely find.

Fruit crepe with sprinkles!

Robbie's Smokehouse is a fun place to go if you like BBQ and all american style eats. I heard some…read moregreat 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.

FOOD: clam chowder over salted Mushroom…read moreburger, 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

Another great Dilallo's stop! The burgers are always delicious, and one my fellow diners also had…read moreone of their favorite Capocollo burgers and loved it just as much as every other time. The service is always fast and thanks to so many take out orders, the place is usually quite empty. The three of us have always been the largest group when we go in, with just a few pick up orders and individual diners about. The man who makes the burgers (who I raved about last time) was as friendly as ever this time and I truly appreciate his service. Hopefully, we'll see you again soon, Dilallo's! (Although now our trips to the area will have the sole purpose of dining here rather than going to a trip to Vermont so I hope we can still make it annually at the very least.

I tried their original "Buck" burger which has a regular patty, cheese, capicollo slice, hot peppers, tomato, onion and lettuce. I also opted for a poutine, which was quite good. Not sure what makes this burger place special, it seems to be an institution and widely liked by many, but the flavors were lacking. There is little to no seasoning on the patty, and no special sauce that would help make the burger pop. It's nice that you can choose how you want you bun (steamed, toasted or dipped) however the overall meal is still a little boring. Luckily the poutine sauce was delicious, it's thick and peppery and the fries were seasoned well too. If you are expecting really thick, juicy and decadent gourmet burgers, don't get the Buck. Perhaps the cheeseburger with bacon would be a better choice but make sure to ask for mayo or ketchup as they don't come by default.

We had just arrived in Montréal and were waiting for our hotel room to be ready. To hold us over,…read morewe decided to do a little exploring and grab some lunch. I decided to walk down Rue Saine-Catherine to see if anything stood out to me. Patty Slaps caught my eye as soon as I passed it, and since burgers sounded good we decided to check it out. Patty Slaps is a fast casual spot. Walking in, we were greeted by a large, open space with communal tables the main production area towards the back. Ordering is done on kiosks up front - the menu is somewhat limited, but they have several types of burgers which are able to be customized to your liking. I didn't want to get too big of a burger, so I went with the Patty Jr. and customized some of the sauces. The burger itself was good, albeit I'm glad I got the junior size as it was a little too greasy for my liking - it had that glazed doughnut look. We also got some poutine to share which was good but not the best I've had in the city. Service was fast, and overall I enjoyed my meal at Patty Slaps. It's good for what it is, and I wouldn't be mad if circumstances found me here in the future.
