We headed to Schwartz's from Guy and Sherbrooke on foot after a long train ride from Toronto. We arrived around 2:30 on a Friday afternoon and were quite hungry by that point. When we saw the lineup that was 20+ people, we almost gave up, but overhearing some of the raves from those ahead of us we decided to wait. I'm glad we did as the line moved quickly, and once inside our food came even more quickly. Listening to people in the line I ordered the lean sandwich and my husband the medium with fries and a pickle to share. Sandwiches are basic, served on rye (ours were un-toasted) with a bit of mustard. Everything was excellent.
My husband didn't really know where we were heading to when I took him there, and almost gave up once he saw the line, but left plotting to come back for one (or preferably all) of our remaining meals in the city.
