Gerry’s Restaurant Delicatessen

So it’s a fast food restaurant where you’ll eat fast food. So that being said it’s not a bad place to go to when you want to eat breakfast at a reasonable price. The food is what you pay for: fair and honest. The service is quick and good. When I feel like bacon and eggs I go to this place.

Pour une bonne pizza ou une poutine.
La place pour un fast-​food de qualité!
Take-​out toujours une bonne idée

I have been a fan of this place for the past 5 years since my work location changed, my favorite dish is the smoked meat plate. I know the service can be ‘slow’ at times, but one must realise this place is VERY popular with the locals that take-​out & delivery seems to be more successive than dining in.
With so many places trying to win over loyalty for the best smoked meat, I personally place this as third in the line of choice behind Smoked Meat Pete’s or Schwartz’s.
I more often than not take-​out on my journey to work, my usual order is the smoked meat plate which is best ordered medium-​fat. The dish has the fries on the bottom layered with the juicy meat on top. The bonus of ordering out with this dish is by the time you arrive home or work or by the time it arrives from delivery to enjoy, the juices from the meat drip onto the fries enhancing their flavor… it may be just my thing but man it is yummy!!! Although probably not the best for your heart and arteries, just once in a while is plenty worth it!
Of note, I do believe parking in the area is free on Sundays which would be a good bonus.

We went there to have breakfast. The place is quite big, there are two sections, one is better than the other because in the morning there’s more sunshine and there are more booth. But there’s a rule that doesn’t allow clients with a stroller sitting in the better section. So we were kicked to the other darker section where we have to sit in chairs instead of booth.
But actually when we got in, there were really not many clients. I would say maybe 6 and there are plenty of seats. I don’t understand why we were not allowed to sit there. And the other section didn’t have any clients except us. And the waitress didn’t come to pour coffee for us at all, she was having her own breakfast in the corner. I felt we were forgoten there.
My husband ordered omlete and I ordered eggs with pancake.
The omlete was cooked in a too high temperature and the pancake was made from instant powder. And we even have to pay for the maple syrup to go with the pancake. But there’s even no sugar powder on the pancake.
The food is ok but what annoys is the service and wired rules. We won’t go back again!

Overall :
Beyond underwhelmed. I cannot imagine a circumstance where I would eat here again or recommend it to someone else.
Food :
Not bad, just pretty bland. My partner had a corned beef sandwich that was the «small» but was heaped with an insane amount of corned beef. The corned beef wasn’t bad, but the bread was basically useless — fries and cole slaw were meh. I had a cheeseburger, did not come with the lettuce and pickle I asked for, but it DID come with an unbelievable amount of mayo that I didn’t. Normally wouldn’t be a complaint, but it wasn’t written anywhere on the menu and I forgot that this is something that happens.
Décor /​Atmosphere
Traditional diner décor. Nothing good, nothing bad.
Service
Unbelievably slow. Server was friendly, but in the middle of our meal he got caught up doing something in the kitchen and we couldn’t get a check to save our lives.

This morning we were doing the rounds of secondhand shops and as we hadn’t grabbed breakfast yet, we decided to head into this spot, just a few blocks from the Renaissance and Village des Valeurs.
Service was a little slow, but very friendly, and definitely nothing unreasonable. The menu offered your typical breakfast fare, with eggs, benedicts and pancakes. Nothing fancy, no s’mores pancakes, no spa benedict, no la-​di-​da, just simple food, done properly.
I had a bagel, ham and egg sandwich, and my friend order two eggs with brown bread toast. Everything came out within a reasonable time frame, what I ordered was as described, with a heaping helping of fries and a nice bowl of fruit.
The fries were pretty good. I am kind of a French fry purist, so I was hesitant about the coated thick cuts when they came out, but I rather liked them. The seemed a little like mashed potatoes inside a crunchy coating!
The coffee was passable, not very strong but 50% better than the coffee offered by most diners. The fruit salad was okay, I always appreciate a little banana and strawberry with breakfast — the token melons, I can do without.
There are no surprises here when it comes to breakfast, and that is just fine with me! Breakfast came to 15 $, not a bad deal at all.
