Benny & Co.

Open until 10 pm

(160)

Anjou-St-Léonard, Montreal-East

BBQ Rotisserie

Review Summary

Across the reviews, Benny & Co. is noted for tasty barbecue chicken and spicy mayo, but there is a sense of uneven value and portions, with many mentioning that sweet potato fries are not worth the extra charge. The Anjou location is frequently called out for diluted sauce, lower quality, and consistently smaller or incomplete fry portions. Service experiences vary, from friendly staff at times to slow follow up after complaints when issues are raised about orders or missing items. Some dinners arrive with missing sauces or toppings and no credit or refund is offered in certain cases. Nevertheless, several experiences highlight good takeout service, pleasant reception, and reasonable prices on some visits, suggesting that the food can shine when the operation is running smoothly. Overall, the sentiment points to a mix of positives and frustrations, with consistency and value depending on location and day.View restaurant profile

Scores

(305)

Anjou-St-Léonard, Montreal-East

BBQ Grill Rotisserie Salads Sandwiches Burgers

Review Summary

Overall at Scores a mix of praise and critique emerges: the food is generally good and the salad bar is a standout with popular options like ribs, Portuguese chicken, fajitas and a crispy chipotle wrap, while portions and prices are fair and the menu is varied; the casual atmosphere with many TVs is welcoming, though the noise can be high and lighting dim in the evening. Service is often praised for friendliness and efficiency, but several visits mention inconsistent service and occasional order errors, including delivery mix ups, and promotions around the salad bar can be confusing or disappointing for some. Some reviews note changes in food quality, with items like fries tasting overly salty or chicken being overcooked, yet the overall experience remains solid and many would return for reliable service and good flavors, especially for family meals.View restaurant profile

Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar

Open until 10 pm

(1478)

Anjou-St-Léonard, Montreal-East

American Grill BBQ Steakhouse Salads Burgers

Review Summary

Across reviews for Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar, the tone is mixed. Many diners praise friendly, attentive service and solid to excellent dishes in a welcoming, family friendly setting with easy parking, while others report a decline in cleanliness and ambiance with dirty tables, sticky surfaces and carpets, and slower, inconsistent service. Some meals are highlighted as well cooked such as steaks, seafood pastas, and ribs, but numerous comments describe ribs as dry or only partially sauced, burgers that are soggy or over sauced, and calamari that is rubbery; beverages and sides sometimes arrive underwhelming or overpriced. Several guests note being upsold from the moment they sit, and a few encounters include order mix ups or tables left uncleared, affecting the overall experience. Yet many staff members are remembered as kind, professional, and attentive, and groups report good experiences during celebrations with effective service. Overall, while the food can be delicious and service can be excellent, consistency and upkeep seem to have waned in places, leading some patrons to say they would return only if notable improvements are seen.View restaurant profile

Tétreaultville-Mercier-Est, Montreal-East

BBQ Rotisserie

Review Summary

Coq-O-Bec reviews describe an excellent experience and very good chicken with praise for the quality and the overall vibe; the main caveat is the closing hours, which were looser during the covid period but are more restricted now; for those seeking a chicken poutine some say the option is to go elsewhere; otherwise the restaurant is regarded as a solid choice, though delivery is often unavailable in the neighborhood and a dedicated driver would likely improve profitability.View restaurant profile
