Teams from Joe Beef and Maison Publique join forces on a new project, McKiernan - Traiteur Luncheonette Rôtisserie. Located on the second floor of the Complexe Dompark, an industrial building located along the Lachine Canal
Overall, reviews of McKiernan Rôtisserie praise the roasted chicken, its sauce, and Brussels sprouts as standout, along with donuts and Parker House rolls, while noting generous portions and a warm, rustic chic space that suits big groups; the vibe is lively and friendly with strong service when busy, though some experiences mention slow or inconsistent service, high prices for portions, and occasional over salty or dry dishes; brunch and lunch are well regarded for variety and value, and reservations are recommended for peak times given the roomy, bright dining area near large windows and parking nearby; in sum, it is seen as a reliable, enjoyed spot with delicious comfort food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a strong sense of place, with a few caveats about price, noise, and occasional missteps.
Our party of four visited on a Sunday evening. There was ample parking available at the front, despite signage indicating potential towing; after confirming with the hostess, we were assured that parking on the opposite side was acceptable. We were seated by the window, providing a pleasant view of the spacious dining area. The restaurant attracted numerous families with children, resulting in a lively atmosphere which became quieter around 7:30 pm.
The cocktails were excellent. We ordered four appetizers; three arrived promptly, but we needed to remind the server about the fourth, which was delivered five minutes later along with our main courses. Although not ideal, the food itself was enjoyable. Our selections included prime rib, rotisserie chicken, & schnitzel, all prepared well. We also ordered a bottle of red wine for the main course, but it remained unopened on the counter near our table for approximately twenty minutes before we had to flag down our waiter.
While the staff provided friendly service, it appeared that servers were assigned too many tables, resulting in an inconsistent pace & several overlooked items. The team addressed this by offering a complimentary dessert to share among our group.
Overall a nice evening with good food but chaotic service

I went for a solo lunch, had great service Dimitri made me feel most welcome. The food was great diablo chicken sandwich is a solid 9/10 & you can't miss the fries! Can't wait to go back!
Nourriture toujours excellente. Très bel endroit pour manger en bonne compagnie. Beaucoup de places assises, mais je crois qu'il est mieux de faire une réservation. J'y suis déjà allée pour le dîner aussi & c'était le meilleur poulet, ainsi que les meilleures frites que j'avais mangé de ma vie! 👌🏻💯
McKiernan has been & continues to be an absolutely spectacular dinner destination. The large open space with a beautiful sunlight creates an atmosphere that is unique & welcoming. The staff is always top-notch. Attentive, professional, & wonderful. Tonight they're eight of us we had a prefix dinner. That was spectacular & delicious. Everybody had the best possible time the place is called. The people are great. The food is fantastic. This is highly recommended.
Real cool decor, huge room, fairly priced, food is delicious yet somehow leaves you with a'this is a bit mundane' feeling. Service feels like they are constantly under toxic management pressure, lacking in warmth & friendliness, stressed & not vibing, front of house shouldn't be running front & back with a concerned stern face for hours. Petty but 4$ coffee refills with no sugar or milk, sure it's in a nice cup but come on. Also, the reservation/cancellation policy can duck right off (re: see above, toxic management)
Nous y étions pour un anniversaire. La nourriture était très bonne. Nous avions un serveur(ou suiteur) qui était très gentil mais la serveuse était assez bête. De plus, nous avons ressentis un malaise lorsque nous avons commandé des digestifs, ils nous ont dirre que le bar était fermé puis qu'ils avaient réouvert pour nous comme si nous derangions. Finalement, les 15 dernières minutes alors que nous attendions notre facture ils ont mit la même chanson on-repeat & lorsqu'on a demandé de la changer ils ont dit'non c'est la musique pour le close' comme s'ils nous pressaient de partir....
*le serveur mexicain était extrêmement gentil & nous l'aimons. Te amo mucho

I came to this restaurant looking for an amazing experience because that's what all the reviews said however, I was extremely underwhelmed because the service was subpar. Our server might have had too many tables to work at the same time because the first fact the food that we got came cold.
I walked over to the manager, & I asked for a little bit more attention & service & got attitude instead of acknowledgment
The level of entitlement these people have for the mediocre food that they put out is amusing
Donuts were fire tho
Hope to come back soon with a much better experience
Petit souper tranquille, nourriture était superbe, un peu trop d'ail dans mes pâtes, mais c'est une question de goût, je peux pas les pénaliser pour ça. En entrée Burrata & Gralax, M-I-A-M.
Bonne recommandation en vin au verre. Service impeccable & super charmant, meme le gars à l'entrée était très gentil.
McKiernan is a homerun, they check all boxes from service, food & decor. The restaurant is one large open space, the service is very attentive & knowledgeable & the food is great. From your choice of family style portions or single serving portions they hit the mark. My son had the pasta & my wife & I shared the rotisserie chicken with a side salad & their Parker rolls. I skipped dessert but my son had their doughnut & my wife had their lemon meringue pie. Definitely going back here, an absolute treat.

Great spot for groups & celebrations. It has a fun, lively atmosphere that makes it perfect for gathering with friends or celebrating something special. The food is tasty, comforting, & satisfying.
The food was good. The only thing is I thought my ribs were a little dry.
Waiting staff is very kind & helpful, the dining room is spacious & looks like an old factory that's been repurposed into a restaurant. It's a lovely spot.
I'll be going back to sample more things off their menu.
Très belle découverte! Le burger aux pleurotes croustillantes était vraiment savoureux : champignons bien crispy, brioche moelleuse & bon cornichon qui apportent une belle fraîcheur avec la sauce tartare.
La portion est un peu petite pour le prix & les options de boissons en livraison sont limitées, mais la qualité est là. Les donuts avaient aussi l'air super appétissants. J'en ai pris deux pour essayer.
Bref, ça donne envie de venir essayer le resto sur place la prochaine fois!
