Cote St-Luc BBQ
Review
About
Since 1953, Rotisserie Côte St-Luc BBQ has been charcoal-grilling chicken to perfection. We are one of the best charcoal rotisserie chicken restaurants in Montreal and West Island. Our chefs keep careful watch over each chicken’s roasting time in our authentic brick ovens, so they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. With fresh ingredients shipped daily, our delicious freshly-cut French fries, homemade chicken & vegetable soup and coleslaw are the perfect accompaniment to any plate. Our chicken is prepared in very high-temperature environments with strict cleaning and hygiene protocols. We have been voted to be among the best chicken rotisserie restaurants by #CultMTL. Come try our savoury maple char-grilled chicken and famous fries, barbecue sauce and coleslaw, while sitting down at one of our nostalgic booths; a treat for the whole family!

While I still think the chicken is very good, the price point for a quarter chicken leg with fries at take out is getting a little high now. They've just increased their prices and now a take out 1/4 leg is about $20. Compared to the competition, it would be the most expensive. Not sure why. Buyer beware on that one.

Usually look forward to their chicken and fries which are really good but getting more expensive by the minute.
But this time I decided take out with a slice of Boston cream pie.
That was a mistake.
At around $8 it seemed like someone had spilled a cup of water on it and was disgustingly soggy.
It was an unpleasant surprise when I arrived home.

I picked up some food during the Covid crisis. We ordered hot chicken, chicken wings & breast. It is a casual restaurant with comfort food. The food was ok; however, the chicken wings were the best.

Very bad service I sent my sister she is from Mexico, whit my 6-year-old son special boy to eat and they did not let her eat in the restaurant,
my sister sat down with my son after ordering his food and the lady handed him his food and my sister told her it is to eat here and she said you can't because it's an extra payment when for obvious reason if you're sitting at a table it's that they bring the food because they gave it to take away .
I went to talk to the owner manager so he could explain to me why they didn't let eat my sister and my son and the man yelled at me in front of his employees and customers please I hope you don't have such an unpleasant experience with that racist business. Also he say I was abusing the situation, when he yelled at me and also didn't let my family eat in the restaurant.

Hello Joseline,
We are sorry to hear about the recent experience of your sister and son. We also need to inform you about how this misunderstanding occurred. Our restaurant is a family venue and not fast-food restaurant. We have a clear sign at the entrance that asks our guests to wait to be seated. If a guest goes to the counter, it would be for take-out only. We have two different menus for our dining room and take-out orders. So, you would need to be seated first and then our staff takes you order. Your Sister went directly to the counter and ordered. That constitutes as a take-out order.
We also noticed that your sister did not speak, nor understand, English or French and was using Google Voice Translate to communicate with us. It’s highly likely that your sister did not understand our explanation and the difference between dine-in and take-out. We actually did tell her that it would be Okay to eat at the dining area, but she did not understand us. Perhaps if you were present with your family, this misunderstanding would have been avoided.
When you came from the adjacent business, we also explained to you and advised you that it’s Okay for your family to eat even-though it was a take-out order. We also tried to clear this miscommunication, but as you firmly put it, you were going to give us a review regardless.
At the end, the word you used to describe our business, and the reference you made to our manager, is absolutely not true. We have guests and employees from all nations and backgrounds at our restaurant. We invite you and your family to come back and experience our dining room, food and hospitality.
Again, we are sorry for this situation but we needed to explain the whole story. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and we’ll gladly accommodate you and your family. Have a wonderful day Joseline.

I went in to order some take out. The 1/4 chicken leg comes with an extra thigh so it's almost like a half chicken. Loads of hand cut fries and the sauce is awesome. My only suggestion would be for them to give a larger container of sauce, even though the one I get is the larger option. Still want more. The chicken is tender and juicy and hot. This is fabulous chicken all in all. I'm now a permanent customer.

I totally recommend this place. Their management team is exceptional, they provide quality services to their customers. The quality of the food at Cote St Luc BBQ is not comparable with other similar restaurants. Their chicken is made on charcoal and the taste is just amazingly good. I certainly recommend this place

Best ever barbeque chicken and french fries together with their coleslaw and dill pickle.
I have eaten here several times, each time was just as good as the time before, very consistent.
There are several chicken barbeque restaurants I have eaten that, but Find this one is the best, with juicy chicken and delicious homemade fries.
I always look forward to dining at this place.

As in so many times in the past, this great BBQ is delicious! With covid and all the regulations we try to keep our wonderful West Island restaurants in business and Cote St Luc BBQ is a special one. Delivery of our order was right on time, chicken, sauce, coleslaw and of course fries with their amazing BBQ sauce so good!
Promise you'll never resort to those skinny frozen fries..lol!

Visited Cote-St-Luc BBQ to fulfill a craving to eat some roasted chicken.
Pros:
Good website/ordering system
Ample parking and large dining area
Chicken for the most part was moist
Cons:
Fairly expensive (if you compare to other similar restos like St. Hubert) and the taste didn't particularly stand out
Curt service at take out counter, felt rushed in placing order

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We understand your concerns about our pricing and your experience at our take-out counter. We want to highlight that our prices are a reflection of the unique quality we offer, including our non-factory produced BBQ sauce, chicken grilled over actual charcoal (not gas), and our fresh, never-frozen fries and coleslaw, which we prepare fresh daily. These elements distinguish us from the competition, as we're committed to providing exceptional value through the quality and care put into every meal.
We sincerely apologize if the service at the take-out counter felt rushed. Our team aims to provide efficient service, especially during peak hours, but we never want our guests to feel hurried. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we'll work on ensuring a more relaxed and welcoming experience. We invite you to visit us again during off-peak hours for a more leisurely experience, where you can fully enjoy what sets us apart.
Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon and provide a more positive and memorable experience.

This place is under new management and is better then it was before.
Chicken is so juicy, perfectly done...The fries are all fresh and outstanding, especially when their BBQ Sauce is poured over them, their cole slaw is great and their rice is something else.
An amazing place for those who love BBQ Chicket etc.

Not too many places make their chicken on charcoal as they do at cote st-luc bbq. That gives it a great taste. I also love the fries and coleslaw.

Bright atmosphere , easy parking. Dad had the ribs, very meaty. My husband and I shared the club sandwich . All the food very good. The French fries are home made, excellent.
There is a lunch menu which is a bit less expensive than at dinner time. Would absolutely recommend this Bbq. P.S best chocolate cake!!!!!
