Côte St Luc Bar-B-Q is described as a go-to for authentic, classic BBQ in the West Island, with standout rotisserie chicken that is juicy, well seasoned, and finished with crispy skin, while ribs are tender and fall off the bone; portions are generous and sauces and gravies are noted for depth and homemade flavor. Customers praise clean, rustic-modern ambiance, fast and friendly service, and reliable takeout that makes it a family staple with nostalgia for charcoal grilled chicken, homemade coleslaw, and house fries. The place is widely regarded as among the best BBQ spots in the area with a strong sense of consistency and care, though some reviewers call out prices as high for the portions, note occasional menu changes that affect favorites like coleslaw and desserts, and mention that value can vary. Overall the reviews point to satisfying, comforting, old-fashioned barbecue that keeps regulars returning whether dining in or taking out, even as a few visits raise questions about pricing or specific items.
Great chicken, sauce & wings! Their coleslaw is the best, with a slight garlic taste to it. Too bad they are closed on Mondays. They were open for a few weeks on Mondays but closed again.

First time visiting, the chicken was good, as was the service, it's also licenced for alcohol, but has not eof a cafe vibe than a restaurant Vibe... Would I go again, I'm not sure.
I live close to csl bbq on sources
Was ordering a breast & leg today
Was convinced to take a 1/2 family meal
Well I think shrinkflation has hit there to
More fries than chicken like at la belle province
Very disappointed
The food was amazing. I ordered the quarter chicken leg with the fries well done. The sauce was nice & hot & they bring you the coleslaw I had of time which is a very big portion. I definitely recommend trying.
Frequent this spot with buddies regularly. Service is always good but last night Dominique served us & she was amazing. Friendly but not overly, super efficient & precise. She was service perfection. Food was delicious as usual but could use another bun with the half chicken. Won't disappoint & highly recommended.
"THE" classic BBQ chicken plus establishment that NEVER fails to deliver the historic anticipated palate pleasing meals. Service is top notch, & platings are generous. The sauce...yes...delicious & always just right. Fries are what we crave as the accompaniment to their chicken & ribs. Coleslaw legendary too! In these days when restaurants come & go & TRY to produce something in this genre of cuisine...bravo to the team at Cote St Luc BBQ...from the management, wait staff, bussers & of course the kitchen team that predictable produce THE best BBQ choices! Our absolutely must chose when the taste buds want THAT treat! Cheers T&S Y
The best COLESLAW ever !! & the FF are on par with Lafeurs. ( if you haven't eaten or tried Lafeurs French fries hahaha you're missing out ) Chicken is awesome. Wish I had one of these in the states. This is a must for anyone. 5 stars !!!!
They changed. Their chicken isn't as smokey, the sauce doesn't taste the same anymore & I can't say I'm impressed with their coleslaw (had a very bleachy taste to it). On top of it all, the chicken itself is a lot smaller & it's overly expensive. The only thing still good is the soup in my opinion, even though that's changed as well & even then, that's not worth the $7 price tag.

Surprisingly terrible. Two stars only because at least the portions were generous. Ordered to go. Fries tasted burnt & were limp. Chicken tasted like nothing except salt, & the grease made the singed bun wet so the meat all fell out of the sandwich. Service also took quite a while to take the order. All in all quite bad
I visited this restaurant today & was impressed by the exceptional service. The owner & staff were not only professional but also extremely polite & friendly. The food was outstanding; the chicken, in particular, was perfectly cooked & had a wonderful smoky flavor from the charcoal grilling. I highly recommend this place for a delightful dining experience!
A huge thank you to Mr. Finlay & the amazing crew at Cote St-Luc BBQ for being such an incredible partner in helping me, a 12-year-old girl, launch Operation Hot Meals. With your generous support, we were able to provide 200 hot chicken meals to homeless individuals during the Christmas holidays. Your kindness & dedication made a significant impact on our community, & I can't thank you enough. Plus, your chicken is the best in town!!! Highly recommend Cote St-Luc BBQ for their delicious food & big hearts!
Was thoroughly disappointed in everything but the service. Overpriced & under-whelming. Ordered the 1/2 chicken, baked potatoes & salad. The white meat was too dry... & the potato (even though it was piping hot) was quite under cooked. When the butter melted it ran all over my plate, because the potato was too hard to absorb any. The sauce for the chicken was kinda bland, like a weak St. Huberts. Next time I will drive the extra few minutes & return to SCORES!
