“ Unbelievably delicious!! The Montreal Smoked Meat is to die for—we loved our sandwich’s. I didn’t get the name of the fella who took our order, but he was so friendly and had such a great sense of humour, we had fun with him playing around with the “Reserved for Barbara Streisand” sign. Great atmosphere, amazing food—go, you won’t be disappointed!! Mmmm good, can’t wait til next time!! ”
“ We were in search of a turkey sandwich. The host told us, get the Montreal meat, don’t get turkey if it’s your first time here. So we tried the basic and the Hungry Jew with a Cherry soda! They were both fantastic! He was right, have to try the Montreal brisket. It was so flavorful and tender, with no fatty or gristle bits. I’d go back for sure! ”
“ I love the Montreal smoked meat. The price is reasonable, and the smoked meat is fresh and flavorful. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or grabbing something to eat on the go. ”
“ Absolutely amazing hidden gem! Must go! The men running it were friendly and welcoming. Helped us decide what to havefor lunch. Went with the grilled cheese and smoked meat. Cannot believe how good the food was! Only downside we went back for dinner but it was already closed. Wish we would have ordered it more while on the island! ”
“ Incredible sandwich and even better service Buzzes Luncheonette is a total gem on Salt Spring Island. I had The Hungry Jew sandwich and it honestly blew me away—super tasty, great balance of flavors, and really generous with the ingredients. You can tell they care about what they serve. The staff were super friendly and made us feel at home right away. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back. If you’re on the island, don’t miss it. ”
“ We tried the Couples Set. If you're really hungry, you should go for the Hungry Jew—it has a more balanced flavor. Both are great smoked meat sandwiches though. I’m definitely coming back to this shop every time I visit Salt Spring Island. ”
“ A Salt Spring Island classic.Best smoked meat this side of Montreal.Always served with a touch of sarcasm and a side of humour. ”
“ I absolutely loved this place! It had delicious food from The Market, to the Latkes. The meat was smoked to perfection with excellent coleslaw and mustard. The people here were very friendly and cheerful, as well as sanitary which is a huge plus! There was a welcome feel to the place, with funny dad and Jew jokes which made me feel closer to home. This place is absolutely wonderful and I truly recommend. ”
