Walked by this place my whole life. Finally ate there.The hot dogs are great, but what really surprised me was their chicken burger… super juicy and delicious. 10/10 would definitely come back
If your wandering around.. and need a fast cheap bite.. get a dog here. They offer regular and toasted .. the toasted bun is best. Poutine/2 dogs and a pop is about $12-14.. Nothing special.. but fast.. cheap.. and hits the spot. Not the original location from years ago.. but .. if the kids are hungry and you want a fast fun bite to eat.. this is a good cheap spot
We went there late at night to get some iconic hot dog. Service is fast and note that it is CASH ONLY, and it is really cheap. However, it was not what I was expecting, and was not to my liking. We got the steamie, the sauerkraut was a little watery.
Nice cosy restaurant but I thought the hot dogs were a bit too small maybe I should buy more hotdogs but were fries were actually decent
A must visit. A Montreal icon, 110 years strong. The poutine is the real deal, best I've had. Pro tip, poutine is ideal food after a night out. I should have tried the dogs, they looked good and my party were happy with them. Cash only.
Montreal cuisine is heralded throughout the world. Seldom have I traveled without encountering a fellow gadabout lauding the care, quality, and gastronomical ingenuity on display in the city.To be clear, I am well versed in the art de cuisine. I've been treated to Micheline rated restaurants across the globe. DiverXO in Madrid, Pujol in Mexico City, Central in Lima, Ai Fiori in Manhattan. I've also been to more Taco Bells than I can remember.The experience I was treated to at the Montreal Pool Room has catapulted this legendary cathedral of dining to the top of the list.I have only sampled the pogo, but also made a return visit for more pogo, so I feel qualified to speak with authority on the entire dining experience.My compatriots and I entered the restaurant at approximately 3:15 am and quickly instructed the maître d' that we wished to order one dozen of their finest pogo, among other regional delicacies. After some confusion and a quick trip to confer with the chef de cuisine, what happened next convinced me that this establishment is not staffed by mere men, but rather angels. The chef returned from the prep room with a container holding our precious pogo which were subsequently fried to perfection. We were delivered our pogo, cooked to the perfect golden brown which invoke the warm feelings of Van Gogh's Café Terrace at Night. Words cannot begin to describe the overwhelming sensory experiences brought on by the complex flavors of the rich corn bread and delicate hot dog encased in its center.Traveling to Montreal and not dining at the Montreal Pool Room is a crime that should be punishable by not being allowed to leave the city.Reservations are not required.
There is no need to pretend this is anything other than what it is... a simple and really great place to get a hot dog and traditional poutine in Montreal.
Really hard to say anything about a hot dog that hasn't been said before. The Michigan was pretty good (lacked the snap of a real Coney but for two bucks what is there to complain about?) and the steamé was exactly what I had hoped for.
This was the worst take out order I've had since the pandemic. Do not order the poutine or double cheeseburger. The poutine was incredibly soggy and the burger was dry.
First off, rude staff. They do not even look at you or say « hello » when you are inside.When it is paying time, staff wake up and say « thank you very much » but of course they do not deserve any tips. Then, you leave saying « bye » but nobody answer.What a bad service for an average meals.
