4 Stars - Montreal Smoked Meat rules. Now living in Toronto... I miss you immensely.\n\nStopped by on a Tuesday evening at 3am after a night at the pubs. The place was about 20% full . Service was extremely quick and friendly. \n\nMy first trip to the Main was probably 30 years ago with my parents as a young boy. There was always a debate in my family - The Main or Schwartz. The main usually won because it was less busy. This is obviously still true today and why I picked the Main on this evening. \n\nI do think Schwartz smoked meat is slightly better than the Main (better spice mix on the outside of the brisket).... But not by a whole lot and certainly not enough to wait in line for. \n\nFirst up - Matzo Ball Soup and it was delicious. Two huge Matzo balls served in rich chicken broth. A great meal starter on a cold evening. \n\nNext - The Smoked Meat Special including sandwich, soda, fries, pickle and coleslaw for $12. The Smoke Meat was served medium, just right for me. As good as I remembered throughout the years. All the meal add-ons were equally good, loved the fries and dill pickle.\n\nI do find The Main is starting to show it's age a little but some might refer to this as \"old school charm\". Nevertheless; I think the place could use a fresh coat of paint and updating.\n\nIn the end, The Main is always worth a visit if your craving a Smoked Meat sandwich any time of the day / evening.   \n\nBK
