Review from Irwin K.

I have been going to this diner year after year for 10 years off and on. Either late night or for a quick poutine. It has changed and so has the food but the menu is still a tried and trusted menu. I have always had the cheeseburger and it has always been hot, tasty and fresh. The bun has changed and so has the meat but both were great diner style burgers, the last one had a Portuguese bun and seriously hit the spot. The service is top notch considering the busy location and on a cold day it's a warm friendly spot.

Review from Mike S.
This is your typical neighborhood greasy spoon. They do nothing incredibly well, but they do nothing bad. The food is consistently decent. Poutine, pizza, burgers, subs, etc...
It's also open 24hrs. Now I've eaten there at 3am btw... and for some strange reason... The food is even better;) -

Idiosyncratic service, but if you're friendly, they will be friendly.
Really enjoyed my Texan burger & fries in a clean, comfy booth. Rapido is open 24 hours, and its corner on Mont-Royal is a fantastic spot for people watching. -

Once, long ago, Art Garfunkel (one half of the duo Simon and Garfunkel) opened up his golden throat and let his angelic voice sing "Bridge over troubled Water." I won't bother replicating the lyrics here becuase you know the song already. It's in your soul.
All you need to know is this: when you're tired, and weary, or when it's dark, and three in the morning and you're fall down drunk, you should pull yourself together and make a pilgrimage to Rapido.
There is a woman i have dubbed "grand-mere." if she takes a shining to you, (and consider yourself blessed if she does) she will let you know and your heart will never be the same. And she will ease your troubled mind, and soothe your wasted soul with poutine. i recommend getting it with bacon, and a stiff black coffee on the side. both will put you right.
Seriously this 24 hour diner is a god send, any way you slice it at any time of day. the breakfasts are decent, it's open all the time, the sous-marins are ridiculously huge, the prices reasonable.
the service, while a little bit slow, (again this is montreal, so i'm used to it) is still great and no one ever rushes you. sure after two in the morning the crowd can get dicey, but the food is what you want from a greasy spoon. and let me repeat: it saves your life and your soul.
go and see for yourself.

Nothing beats Rapido on a slow week-end morning/early afternoon. Their specials are probably the best deal in that area: an enormous quantity of food for $10 or, including a soup, desert and virtually unlimited coffee.
You could opt for more classical brunch dishes, but the specials are just fine. I always go with #2, the lady always takes the #1, and we're both happy campers afterwards.
The service is fast, they give you a table for 4-6 even when there's two of you, they stock a giant pile of Journal de Montreal so that you can feel trashy for a bit while reading it.
The waitresses are (all?) Russian so if you understand it, you can get some of their gossip :)
All in all, Rapido is an institution that is worth visiting at least once!

Really awful. Bad food, bad service, dirty tables, dirty restrooms. Plus, they don't take credit cards.
