WHAT?????????  There are many mysteries in life, but  none as inexplicable as this.  Why is there a line outside this place?  Why did the concierge at the Intercontinental urge me to come here?  I just don't understand.  I don't even care that the place looks like a dump of a diner.  That's fine.  It's a cheap meal.  But come on!  The \""legendary\"" smoked brisket that they serve is TERRIBLE!!!!  The \""home made\"" fries suck!  I mean, there is nothing good about them.  Anyone can but potatos and fry them.  They do nothing to them.  No flavor.  Just blah.  And back to those sandwiches.... what are you people raving about.  Have you guys had a decent sandwhich anywhere? They suck. They are plain bad.  Sure they age and smoke the beef for days, but who cares.  They slap it on boring rhye bread with some cheap mustard.  The beef is just boring.  If I smoke something for 10 hours, you better believe it's going to be one of the most delicious things you've ever tasted.  This was just bad.  We weren't that hungry, so we told the waiter to just bring us one.  He chuckled and said, once you try it, you're gonna want another one because they are small sandwhiches and they are the best.  I insisted on just one to share and we were both very pleased with our decision.  Neither of us finished our piece.  We ran out of there as fast as we could... confused and disoriented as we passed the 30 people waiting in the line outside.  As we walked down the street, we overheard a group of people talking about the place.  They were locals... all were wondering what the big deal was about this place.  I started a conversation with them and we were all in agreement.  Anyway, Montreal is a wonderful place to eat.  Don't waste one of your meals here.  Wow...
