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.
Was always my favourite, but you changed the menu. Chicken wing were great now so-so. But the worst, what did you do to your coleslaw! It went from worlds best to terrible, i am praying it was an off batch because if i have it like that again, it will not be worth going again.
Best fries chicken & sauce, so of course best chicken poutine. Chocolate cake isn't as good as it used to be. Decor was updated recently, nothing major just updated colors.

I love core st Luc bbq & whenever It's too hot to cook I'll go for a meal there, everything is fantastic, however…
The pricing has become a little ridiculous.. for a half chicken & a salad.. it's 33$ not including tip. I typically tip 20%.. does a half chicken & a salad deserve to cost 40$… in my opinion, it's overpriced.
I think the owner needs to re-evaluate his pricing, especially when the economy is suffering. I could get a full rotisserie chicken for 7$ at Costco & a larger salad for 5$… these guys must be making an absolute killing.
Unfortunately, as much as I love cote st luc bbq. That will be my last time enjoying their dinners.
Côte St-Luc BBQ blew me away. The chicken has that amazing smoky flavour that only real charcoal can give. You can taste the fire in every bite, it's juicy, perfectly cooked, & full of that old-school BBQ taste you don't find in many places anymore.
The fries were hot & crispy, just right, & the coleslaw was fresh & crunchy with the perfect amount of tang.
Not many places still take the time to grill over real charcoal, & it really shows in the quality. If you love BBQ, you have to try this place. I'll definitely be coming back
Great food & friendly staff. The family pack is a great option for takeout. My favorite is chicken wings & crispy club sandwhich. If you like dessert, nutella cheesecake is a must.
Côte St-Luc BBQ has been a go-to spot for me for years. There's something about the place that brings back a real sense of nostalgia. The smell of charcoal-cooked chicken, the classic coleslaw, & those familiar fries with the perfect crisp always take me back. It reminds me of a time when takeout felt like a treat, not just a convenience.
I've had the chicken, the sauce, & the fries more times than I can count & they've never disappointed. It's comfort food at its best. I also love the poutine. Always fresh, flavourful, & consistent. The service is friendly & welcoming, & takeout is fast & easy. The fact that they deliver across the West Island makes it even more convenient.
If you're from the area or even just passing through, this is the kind of place that feels like home.

I've been coming to Côte St-Luc BBQ for years & it's one of the few places that still does things the old-fashioned way. & I mean that in the best sense. The chicken is charcoal-cooked just like it always was & you can really taste the care that goes into the food. It's consistent, it's comforting, & it never feels rushed or overdone.
The coleslaw has that nice homemade touch & the portions are more than fair. It's the kind of place where the staff greet you with a smile & they remember you if you've been in a few times. Whether I'm eating there or bringing it home, it always hits the spot.
Places like this are getting harder to find. I'm glad they're still doing what they do & doing it well.
One of the best chicken BBQ restaurant in montreal island friendly staff & also very clean you have to try club sandwich it's incomparable with other restaurant.
Expensive for the taste & quality they offer. Ordered chicken poutine & chicken dinner , taste was meh.. Quantity is generous though . Staff & atmosphere were amazing

Comment dire, pour le repas, c'est très moyen, poutine avec sauce sans vraiment de saveur. C'est vraiment pas fin.
Sandwich chaud, c'est du poulet entre deux tranches de pain de mie avec du poulet & la sauce poutine pas bonne… sur le pain…
Sans intérêt…
Après poulet frite, correcte mais banal.
Par contre service parfait, très gentils, très rapide.
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.
